@Avery What query did you use for the network panel?

Nathan Osman

Wat.

Windows Server 2012 - "we couldn't check for updates for the last 30 days".

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Guys, I've a stupid question

What does "Skip All" in Nautilus copy dialog actually do ? I'm copying files from phone, some files couldn't be retrieved. so I manually click the Skip button each time. Does Skip All do the same or does it like . . . skip copying normal (actually retrivable) files ?

Nathan Osman

It is equivalent to sitting there and clicking "skip" every time the dialog appears in the future.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

OK, good.

Also . . . rant incoming . . . WHY IS THIS NOT IN NAUTILUS HELP PAGES ??? GAAAAAAAA

Nathan Osman

"Nautilus help pages" - lol.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Well, whatever that F1 thingy is supposed to be . . .

That's one area where Linux on the desktop has a long ways to go - documentation.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

So much for the famous RTFM slogan, right ?

Nathan Osman

CLI tools are usually documented well. But graphical applications are harder to document.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

True that, of course . . . But still, at least a mention of what that thingy does would be nice

Also , yay, copying of my 8 GB photos from phone are done O_o Too many food and selfie pics

Nathan Osman

Soon you won't need Nautilus for that - NitroShare will support Android => PC transfers. In fact I'm working on that right now.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Nice. I should work on my feature requests and such for the indicators.

To be honest, that whole thing with Unity loosing support was very de-motivational.

Q: Check which process has open SCTP port in Linux

Using Ubuntu Server 16. What the title says. Something on my machine has an SCTP port open, and I need to find it and kill it (without rebooting). lsof doesn't show SCTP sockets, only TCP and UDP. I'm looking through all these network utilities, and SCTP support is surprisingly scarce for such ...

Windows 3.1

@SumeetDeshmukh no im just wondering if you know why its happening, since you edited it and saw it

Sumeet Deshmukh

@Windows3.1 I think I just removed the user name, and made title little less agressive.

@Windows3.1 No, actually i'm not good at dpkg, I rarely use it

Windows 3.1

Q: Different Speakers for each Monitor

Is it possible to set it up so say, programs on monitor 1 output to speaker set 1, and programs on monitor 2 output to speaker set 2? Or barring that, a method to tell different programs to output to different speakers even if the option to use something other than default isn't in the program?

@Windows3.1 where were you downloading this lightdm-login-chromiumos package? What is it actually?

Windows 3.1

@an

oops

@Anwar it iss the chromiumOS desktop environment

wanted to have it as an option allongside unity but screw that!

Anwar

from which ppa?

What I see is that package requires external data to be downloaded and somehow that data is either corrupted or can't be handled by curl! Wait... why curl here?

It should be wget I think!

Are you using this github.com/dz0ny/lightdm-login-chromeos?

Sumeet Deshmukh
