@Seth i think this hsould be better to see those there, i not always open a link to the question itself to judge then on it but rather stay in the review window
 
Seth
Seth
well you can make a feature request :)
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
and judged on what i see there i got rather for something kept open instead of closing true to my motto, when in doubt do nothing
 
Seth
Seth
although someone else has probably already done it.

@SeverusTux Well, I'm not actually running 16.04 yet due to its buggyness, however it should more or less be the same in terms of GNOME, you are probably running the default 3.18 there and that is what I am running here even though I'm on 15.10.
 
user136984
The Launcher equivalent I believe is normally referred to as the 'Dock', but I don't actually use that mostly, I use Docky. You should check if qTox has a .desktop file, it probably doesn't and unlike in Unity it needs one if you want to pin it to any Dock (let me know if you have any trouble with that and I will lend you a hand).
 
user136984
8:11 PM
The problem with putting files/folders on the desktop is an easy one to solve though, for some reason the GNOME project decided that the desktop best be disabled by default, but if you open the gnome-tweak-tool you can easily configure this in the Desktop section (it is the Icons on Desktop one).
 
user136984
Hope that helps! If you need anything more just ask! I know the answer to most things GNOME related. ;)
 
Seth
Seth
does anyone use insync for Google Drive syncing?
 
user136984
@SeverusTux: If you want to upgrade to the latest stable GNOME release (3.20) by the way there is a semi-unofficial PPA which is maintained by the Ubuntu GNOME team who make Ubuntu GNOME (so it's fully safe and everything if you are willing to install GNOME, they are the people that give it to you in Ubuntu).
 
user136984
It says that if you install it your machine will crash and burn sort of thing but I think that they just have to say that because it's new and fresh from the GNOME developers,
 
user136984
but all the other Linux distros such as Fedora ship it as default so it's actually quite stable, but it's just that it gets released after Ubuntu has its feature-freeze so it doesn't get into Ubuntu, but it itself despite the scary warnings is quite stable, I've been running things from that PPA for ages now and had no problems at all, so have many others here.

how do I restore specific files from a duplicity backup?
 
James
James
@mikeTheLiar I don't have any ideas. You might want to post on serverfault or unix.se
 
Seth
Seth
oh I see.
warning: insync will delete all the existing files in a folder if you choose it as the sync location.

My response to the first set of book questions was graded. 94%, mainly because I didn't cover a couple points.

@Videonauth hows it going?
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
good so far :) had a long long sleep now
after having been awake for around 3 days
 
TheXed
TheXed
Cool...I just got home from work..
@Videonauth you should try to sleep more often.
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
that the main reason im early pensioned, i simply cant sleep and have to rely on pharmaceuticals to do so
no reason to say that this way a really productive work live is impossible
 
user136984
Ok, coming to the end of this month now... So that means that just June and a little of July stand between me and a possible new hell... :P
 
user136984
8:54 PM
I hope hell forgets to turn up... :P
 
TheXed
TheXed
Wait, early pensioned because you can't sleep and the complications that causes?
@ParanoidPanda what is the possible hell?
Interesting, I thought my graphics card was long forgotten by AMD, I just got a notification that a new driver has been released...
lol the install failed...
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
@TheXed yep up to a few another problems i wont discose on the net ina logged open chatroom
or lets put it into technical terms 'major depression' and PTSD
 
user136984
@TheXed: Well, the people here have probably got fed up with me mentioning it, but a person who was rather mean to me gets unsuspended here from a year's suspension in mid-July so I'm just sort of nervously counting down the months because I suspect he might want to release my personal details when he comes back as he has previously threatened...
 
user136984
So that's that, but I try to not mention it very often, but now I'm very nervous as it's rather soon so I can't really help mentioning it... Though you can see I'm not being very specific in my original message so it's sort of more a thing I'm saying to myself than anything else.
 
TheXed
TheXed
@Videonauth I understand.
 
user136984

Anyway, Sushi now! Yum! :D
 
TheXed
TheXed
I mean not literally, but I undestand what you are trying to say.
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
see my additional line more i wont say
 
TheXed
TheXed
@Videonauth yes I did.
@ParanoidPanda oh...that is rather terrible...
 
user136984
@TheXed: Well, the guy knows where I live (probably) and threatened to stab me with a knife, and though that threat hasn't turned up (maybe he heard I now do longsword fighting so it put him off >:D), I think the online one doesn't require that much in terms of guts or thought so it's more probable and he'll want to do something... He's actually mentally crazy too so that doesn't help...
 
TheXed
TheXed
@ParanoidPanda this guy needs to be fired...
 
Videonauth

9:04 PM
@TheXed askubuntu.com/questions/764228/… and another bounty :)
 
TheXed
TheXed
@Videonauth good one!
 
user136984
@TheXed: Nobody is agreeing to employ him... >:P
 
user136984
They probably look up his name and find his abuse.
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
yeah i needed to install teamviewer anyway for all my real life friend which bother me constantly with their PC troubles so i could as well solve this lol

Wait then what is he suspended from?

TheXed
TheXed
@Videonauth darn, I only have one hard drive installed...
I wonder what I did with my old SSD drive...
 
user136984
@TheXed: The StackExchange network, he used to verbally abuse me here (though I also had contact with him in real life) and release my personal information.
 
TheXed
TheXed
To lazy to take apart my computer and see if it still in there, and just not plugged in lol...
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
:) im sitting here over about 50 TB all n all space
 
TheXed
TheXed
@ParanoidPanda OHHH! I thought you meant like in real life...
 
user136984
9:08 PM
:D
 
user136984
Well, he did try to punch me in real life and set his dog on me so... It kind of was worse in real life...
 
TheXed
TheXed
@Videonauth I have plenty of space...in various forms... probably not 50 TBS...
 
user136984
Anyway, I must eat Sushi now! ;)
 
TheXed
TheXed
but I recently upgraded my SSD and I don't remember whether I took it out of my PC or left it in...
but if is it in there its not plugged in because it isn't showing up on my computer...
@ParanoidPanda no bamboo?

@g3trans what is the error?
 
g3trans
g3trans

the index is working fine, however one of the ajax requests to a different path returns 404
 
TheXed
TheXed
@g3trans that doesn't mean I can help fix it :-P
 
g3trans
g3trans
im sure im missing something in the configs or permissions but im not sure :.
:/
cant see anything in the apache error logs
 
TheXed
TheXed
Well the error its self means that whatever resource it is looking for is missing...
 
g3trans
g3trans
9:12 PM
its there but it's managed by codeigniter, works fine on local, also in like a cpanel that does everything
but now we're attempting to set it up in a google server
 
TheXed
TheXed
hmmm...
 
g3trans
g3trans
One second let me show you the apache conf
 
TheXed
TheXed
so to me...it seems like you go to index and it works...then you click the link...can I see what the url is for the link?
 
g3trans
g3trans
rng4.com if you check out the errors you can see it's already trying to load
some icon and getting 404
 
TheXed
TheXed
So the icon never loads?
 
g3trans

9:17 PM

It's looking like it's getting a response now
but it's not displaying it
in firebug

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because since the /dev/urandom and /dev/random are only files which get filled constantly it seems more that this is a responsibility of the developers of Spigot to code in a way which at least not trying to take out more than is available in those files or invent a way to take out what is there and wait till you created enough entropy again by using your computer to take out more. — Videonauth 1 min ago

A problem with generating entropy should be handled by the developer of the software not the distribution it runs on. OpenSSL for example could just say "We don't have enough entropy. I'm going to error out", but they don't... because they're developers. — RobotHumans 9 secs ago

user136984
By the way, guys (maybe @ByteCommander?), do you think that I should upgrade to 16.04 yet or is it still too buggy because I'm ready to perform the upgrade now? :)
 
TheXed
TheXed
@ParanoidPanda upgrade and install Budgie DE.
 
user136984
@TheXed: Ok, I'm quite happy with GNOME at the moment, but I will look into it. Thanks for the recommendation! :)
 
user136984
9:36 PM
Where can I get it from?

Small question, I'm updating a file with filezilla, I restart the apache service but still it doesn't show the new files automatically
is there some cache inbetween that's storing stuff?
 
TheXed
TheXed
@g3trans no but your web browser has a cache...
 
g3trans
g3trans
yeah, I cleared that didn't help
Only when i remote accessed server and manually changed the file did I start seeing it
change
 
TheXed

At least I don't think there is a cache...

MeltingDogI made some changes to a CSS file, uploaded it and saw no change. I cleared my browser's cache, repeated the process and still nothing.
