@basketball The person who put the bounty said it didn't work for them, so they didn't award it. It will just "disappear" on its own quite soon.

OlofI have win 8.1 and Ubuntu 13.10 installed, both are working fine but.. When coming from win-8 and rebooting the PC I will get an "Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed". I then have to go in to BIOS and change the start sequence to "Ubuntu" and it will stay that way until ...

boot dual-boot grub2 windows-8
 
Oli
Oli
@AvinashRaj It's also not a mystery how it works. Anybody who's been listening for longer than ten minutes knows ~ means $HOME and that moving something to /dev/null will nuke it. You might as well ask what sudo rm -rf / does (edit: that was sarcasm, please don't)
 
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
we have "rm" aliased to an scp command that moves the file to another system :D
 
Oli
Oli
@Rinzwind Doesn't Win8 have that dodgy quickboot thing where it does a quasi-hibernate to boot up things faster? I seem to remember seeing something about disabling that in dual boots but I've no actual experience with it.
 
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
@Oli yes. I assumed that was called hibernate too D:
I saw an option to turn that off last weekend

Oli
Oli
@AvinashRaj That's a question worth asking. (You could even add something about moving things to /dev/null and what that does - just stop short of the possibility of somebody wiping out their life's work)
They both seem to be more about redirecting (their answers cover it but their questions don't quite)

Was I being silly? Can you actually move things to /dev/null? I've just been playing around and it won't delete things...
@AvinashRaj Have you tested what you're asking? mkdir test; mv test /dev/null
Doesn't work for me...
 
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
no
does it not have to be: mkdir test; mv test >/dev/null
since you can not create regular files in /dev/

you want it? :D

Oli
Read up... I'm questioning if you can actually mv things to /dev/null... I think it only accepts redirects.

@Rinzwind only a superuser can be able to move a directory to /dev/null?
did i have to login as another user to move the test directory to /dev/null ?'

Rinzwind
@AvinashRaj Ofcourse. But I knew it would fail upfront ;=) I do not take mv lightly :=D
2nd attempt to going to lunch :D
 
Avinash Raj
Avinash Raj
Bye
@blade19899 did the /dev/null accepts the data or not?
 
Oli
Oli
@AvinashRaj If a superuser did it, they would replace /dev/null with a directory (AFAICT)
 
Avinash Raj
Avinash Raj
11:37 AM
you mean, i have to login as root user to move the test directory to /dev/null
 
Oli
Oli
11:51 AM
@AvinashRaj No, I mean it would replace the /dev/null file (which is just a special file) with a real directory.

Q: Why people says don't do this?

Avinash RajWhile i trying to move a test_dir directory to /dev/null, it says mv: cannot overwrite non-directory ‘/dev/null’ with directory ‘test_dir/’ Then why people says "don't run this command sudo mv ~ /dev/null, it will moves your home directory to a hole? But /home is also a directory.

@foss Yes :-P I want to know the advantages of Ubuntu, since I've found lots of advantages for Mint elsewhere and want a balance :-P
 
fossfreedom
fossfreedom
1:18 PM
balance is perhaps not what you will get here. I havent found anywhere where there is a sound "mint is better than ubuntu" argument. Horses for courses - what you do and how you do it dictates what operating system you should use.
 
Oli
Oli
@Doorknob I've just never found a reason not to. Everything that I need works and everything that doesn't, I know where to find the people I need to torture in order to get it working again. Oh and it means I get to ask questions on Ask Ubuntu. That's a pretty serious advantage :P
 
Doorknob
Doorknob
Hmm. @foss So, what do you think is the main difference between them? What is Ubuntu made for, and what is Mint for? @Oli But isn't that a valid argument for Mint too?
 
Oli
Oli
These days the difference seems to be a desktop holy war... I'm a bit removed from that already, being a Kubuntu user.
@Doorknob Maybe... Perhaps it's the difference between a tender pork chop and delicious (but mysterious) processed salami. Ubuntu has the infrastructure, the community, the people. Mint takes that and does a few things differently. If those are things I needed, I'd probably be a Mint user but they aren't. Most of my Ubuntu installs are server installs.
Not being a Mint user I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask about the advantages of Mint or what Mint is for. What would you say Mint brings that Ubuntu doesn't?
 
fossfreedom
fossfreedom
@Doorknob I've never used Mint and never had to investigate too much. I perhaps just perceive Mint as another desktop environment with enough tweaks and tucks to make it distinctive enough to warrant any Q&A here mostly in the questionable category because we have no real knowledge as to what the hell they have changed and why.
 
Doorknob
Doorknob
@Oli From what I've seen, it's mainly performance and more customizability and extensibility. Although I may be biased as a programmer ;-)
 
fossfreedom
fossfreedom
1:25 PM
performance?
 
Doorknob
Doorknob
At least that's what I've seen on several sites during my search.
 
Oli
Oli
@Doorknob These are desktop traits. I'm a KDE user. You can't talk to me about "customizabilty" (if that's even a word). KDE/KWIN performance is pretty decent too.
 
Doorknob
Doorknob
So, what you're basically saying is that the desktop makes all the difference? (My phone tells me that's a word, anyway :-P)
 
fossfreedom
fossfreedom
yep - as I said - whatever interface works best for you.
 
Doorknob
Doorknob
Alright, well thanks for the detailed responses, everyone! I'm going to have to do some more investigation before I decide. Again, thanks for responding :-)
 
Braiam
Braiam
1:33 PM
@Doorknob remember there's always the live-cd way :P
 
fossfreedom
fossfreedom
Also look at the upgrade path from one mint version to another - as far as I understand, the supported route is a fresh install each time - so you will need to be prepared to do that regularly.

Balsamiq?

@jokerdino That's certainly one of them. That's the one Canonical uses, I think... Or used to, anyway.
 
jokerdino
jokerdino
They only have a .deb file. I need a RPM damnit

but you want a free one right @jokerdino - this might help sitepoint.com/5-free-wireframe-applications

@jokerdino Only on UX.SE, once. I've used Pencil (Firefox addon and has a standalone version) a lot more.
We have a question about this.

A: What interface mockup programs are available?

OliAs has been suggested in many other similar threads, Pencil offers you a nice framework for prototyping and wireframing (even web stuff). And it's free. I realise you've already said this isn't the answer you're looking for (having been linked to my question on the topic) but my scope is web ...

 
jokerdino
jokerdino
Oh I seem to remember Pencil now.
 
Oli
Oli
But I'm not sure how much any of that applies to you and your RPMs...
 
Mateo
Mateo
ah, pencil looks cool
 
jokerdino

@Oli Oi. Pencil apparently is in the Fedora archives.
I'll just stick with Pencil then. Merci

@Oli I think Canonical (or atleast mpt) uses wireframesketcher.

I wonder what I'm thinking of then.
It's Mark who used Balsamiq

I flagged Braiam's message as spam on accident, and some silly users approved it.
 
jokerdino
jokerdino
Actually, that flag was autoapproved because you flagged it.

I unsuspended him.
It was all this tablets fault.
 
jokerdino
jokerdino
Yeah, now we just blame the tablet.
 
Mateo
Mateo
so why don't we have a whole computer screen for each app?
 
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
@Seth only if it has windows on it. and even then YOU are using it
 
Seth
Seth
No, it's Android. Chat isn't good on these devices.

I wonder if we scraped around we could buy @Seth a real computer rather than have him dodder around on his Tablet of Doom that he's been sin-binning everybody with :)
 
Seth
Seth
I already have one, I just don't have access to it atm.
 
jokerdino

I am guessing Seth took foss' "sending Braiam to /dev/null" too seriously.
 
terdon

Exactly :)
 
Seth

Anyway, I was trying to tease @Braiam with "just hope we don't make a meme of it, like the bridge" but my fail made it more complicated lol.
 
jokerdino
jokerdino
So, you are suggesting it was @Braiam's fault after all.. Now I get it
