5:00 PM
It wouldn't be hard to put together, I just have to focus on apps that get me paid soon as opposed to apps that people would be like "meh. I'll use it cuz I haftoo"
All linux GUIs are front-ends for commands or APIs
 
@AbrahamVanHelpsing I know... That was the (bad) joke.
 
removing that makes my response look ridiculous ...
 
Sorry... But it wasn't something to keep around on second thought.
 
fair
is there a way to add udev rules inside ~/ ? the last time I made a little utility people complained b/c it needed root
nope. you have to edit in /etc/
 
5:16 PM
IDK.
 
I do know. It was a rhetorical question.
 
I see.
Nice answer:

A: Problem binding a shortcut to a function / multimedia key

Gerhard BurgerSolution using udev Since HAL is deprecated and udev is now used, this approach is preferred over my other answer (although I think that the solution using HAL is simpler). However for many function keys you can simply use System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts to bind a script, try this first!...

 
Yup. I answered a different udev question that was dealing with working around apps where /dev/video0 was hard-coded
 
Oh?
 
This is probably valid English but it was hard to read: "For for instance the brightness keys this doesn't work (I don't have a clue why not), so if you want to know how to change the behavior of for example the brightness keys, read on."
 
5:22 PM
Err yeah.
That could use some revision.
Maybe some commas..
 
Who uses "for for instance" anyway? :) books.google.com/ngrams/…
 
How do I keep missing the reopen votes...
 
@JenniferWilson Cool stats ;)
@AbrahamVanHelpsing Thanks.

Q: user installation emacs 23 on a centos 5 with system-wide installed emacs-21.4-20.el5?

130490868091234I would like to install my own copy of emacs 23 on a Centos 5 Linux where I don't have admin rights. I would like to have my own modern copy of emacs on this Centos 5 system since I've got a problem with the fonts when running emacs-21 through an ssh connection to a Centos 5 Linux, while my local...

Q: Can't install Windows 7 with UEFI off

MInnerI need to have ubuntu and win7 on my notebook with UEFI. I had to turn it (UEFI) off to install and boot Ubuntu. Now I'm tring to install Win7 but it says it can't be installed on the drive with GPT-style drive. The only way to turn on the GPT-support is to run it on UEFI-mode. But when I try t...

Isn't that off-topic?
 
it is related to Ubuntu though, and would help other Ubuntu users
but if you apply the rules, it's also off-topic
(two cents)
 
How is it related to Ubuntu?
 
in the sense that without Ubuntu he would not have had the issue
/me is new here though
 
Hmmm. That's actually not an Ubuntu problem though ;) It would take a bit to explain why not though...
@JenniferWilson You opinion is still just as valid as everyone else's.
 
6:18 PM
@Seth It's gray area. And I've thought something was black that was white, so my guess it meta would say keep it.
There definitely needs to be an Ubu-wiki page on all possible UEFI situations though
 
That is weird.
UEFI being off has nothing to do with Ubuntu.
 
Sort of... I think it's a contributing factor.
removed
Couldn't you just reference the UEFI with Ubuntu question??
 
Maybe..
 
Solves both problems
 
I hate the new search.
Takes me 3 times to find a simple question.
 
6:22 PM
google: site:http://www.askubuntu.com something
It needs to be a userscript that replaces the search box
 
Yeah really.
 
You lose restrict by tag and user then though
 
Almost never use those anyway so...
 
12:02AM: Still doing project
 
6:44 PM
@jokerdino does this actually work? askubuntu.com/a/132394/142757 There was a question about it recently (askubuntu.com/questions/274153/…), but it seems to be an Unity bug bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/887203
 
7:03 PM
More silly off-topic votes...
 
jrg
yes, @Seth has come far. (@AbrahamVanHelpsing)
 
7:26 PM
As far as possible, provide the actual link and not a shortened one. — vasa1 Mar 25 '12 at 14:47
Obsolete now.
Did this break anything you think? askubuntu.com/posts/179408/revisions
 
shouldn't
 
Okay good.
BTW, if you flag that comment it should go away.
 
what is with all the driver tutorials that reference the same goo.gl link, and I know that they are coming from the same one.. that is not referenced in most.
 
Haven't noticed that myself.
 
BBT
Good Night
 
7:33 PM
Night @AmithKK
@mateo_salta Now I see what you mean...
 
yeah, I found at least 5(more actually) so far "wget this driver from goo.gl link"
 
7:44 PM
@jrg, his holiness, JC-Aaron Payne, is among us.
These are officially Hallowed grounds.
@Oli, as a fellow moderator, and a renegade to the movement, I suggest you convert. It is imperative that all moderators be a part of this great awakening of the computerized soul.
I shall give a glimpse into the wisdom of our great leader.
Such depth! Such wisdom!
 
jrg
wat
 
Why has the great Operating System so greatly blessed us?
What good deed have we done, to have been bestowed upon with such great majesty?
 
@mateo_salta Yeah that.
 
Truly, I humbled! My hard drive shall spin at 4200rpm in respect of this great event!

jrg
my ssd will spin-oh, wait.

7:50 PM
In further demonstration of my humility, I shall only use the most pure applications, such as those approved by his holiness, RMS.
 
jrg
Computer Jesus died for your spins.
 
Oh heathens! Purge thy selves from thine unopeness!
 
rolls eyes
 
Yeah right lol...
 
jrg
What is DevOps? -> “@mart_brooks: @markimbriaco It's the practice of allowing developers to run ruby as root.”
pretty much.
 
7:51 PM
lol
 
I am ready to role play when it is not at the expense of another user like that.
 
@Seth O_o
 
-.-
 
jrg
:(
 
It would help to lighten up a bit, but that's just my silly opinion.
 
7:53 PM
@RolandiXor Lighten up in what way?? I'm not sure I follow.
 
You know, since I'm just being silly to find the whole thing funny...
 
@RolandiXor Oh yes... I understand... I just don't think that was very... well.. polite.
 
... Making a joke about it, no problem. Going on about it for ... 11 lines ... That's a tad much.
 
Sounded mocking to me.
 
okay...
Well, if you think so, I'm sorry.
 
7:54 PM
@FEichinger Yeah, that's all I meant.
 
jrg
yes, we are joking about this fairly serious topic. yes, that is seen in some circles as sacrilegious. On the other hand, how can you not laugh about that? :\
 
Wasn't quite like that.
 
Give me a minute to type.
 
@Seth ah, a question about that

Q: Is it risky to download a script with a http://goo.gl/ link?

BorisFollowing the advise of an answer in Ask Ubuntu, I downloaded and ran a script with a URL starting by http://goo.gl/ Is it risky to use such file? could it be a virus or something else? If yes, what should I do? Some details: I followed this answer, and did wget -O amd-driver-installer-12...

 
I'll just leave it alone.
 
jrg
7:55 PM
i'm done, i made my required SSD joke.
 
I don't see a problem with your joke. It was funny. It was laughable. But it gets to a point were you're just mocking (at least, that's how it looks to an outsider).
 
Well, as always with me - if I'm joking around - it takes on a life of its own...
 
:)
 
But, everyone to their own opinion etc.
So it has little to do with the source, if anything.
 
@mateo_salta /me is out of upvotes. /me wants more than 40.
But I'm not ready to martyr myself by MSO'ing about it.
 
7:59 PM
yeah, no more votes for you
 
Since when did we have a 40 vote limit anyway?
@mateo_salta :(
 
:(
 
:/
 
8:00 PM
Its both up and down votes in general (are comment votes included?), so use them wisely
 
Comment votes have a separate limit that I seem to always hit on MSO.

@RolandiXor I almost wonder if he's joking... --^
You would think by 400 upvotes something would be done...
 
8:27 PM
@Seth 400 upvotes aren't enough to hire a hitman, though.
 
8:38 PM
shrug
 
 
1 hour later…
10:05 PM
Whoo I just got Guru.
 
congratulations @Seth
 
10:20 PM
I suppose it's better than getting Guru Meditation :-)
 
@mateo_salta Thanks :)
Just started using Synergy... Pretty cool app.
'course I had to turn my firewall off...
At least, I think I have to.
 
yeah, I used it for a while
which firewall?
 
Uh.. The default for Ubuntu
Not exactly sure.. I had all incoming set to "Deny" though.
 
I thought that had to be enabled...
 
For what?
By default I don't think Ubuntu even has a firewall on..
 
10:29 PM
@Seth yeah, that

Q: First Posts review queue is not showing first questions

Niall C.I noticed that the First Posts review queue on Home Improvement is no longer showing questions. The most recent first question that showed up in the queue was asked at 16:05UTC on March 19th. The next most recent first question was asked at 19:27UTC on the same day. It is still showing answers,...

o_O
 
 
11:16 PM
WHOA
We have 500 first posts again...
How did that happen?
 
566
again?
 
IKR
SO has 10k O_O
 
Is that legit?
 
Yep.
 
okayyyy. Off to the mines. ;-)
 
11:19 PM
:D
@Mochan Lots for you to review now anyhow...
@Seth - we were excluding locked posts via a p.ParentId In (...), when ParentId is null on questions, so it needed a simple IsNull(p.ParentId, 0) In (...) instead is all. — Nick Craver 42 secs ago
That explains it.
 
11:39 PM
There is someone here that can explain me what is 'spam' like in 'spam eggs' from Monty Python? I tried to translate this word to my native language, but it's not even translatable
 
Spam is a type of canned meat.
It's a common joke because of the weirdly funny name choice.
 
@Seth humm, I think I undertand it now
 
@Seth There is a story behind..
 
So spam eggs would be canned eggs?
 
No, more like you eat spam and eggs for breakfast.
Like people eat bacon and eggs
Or Pancakes and sausage.
@Lucio Oh?
 
11:42 PM
Humm I undertood it now
 
@Zignd You aren't English native, right?
 
@Lucio Yes, I'm Portuguese native
 
@Zignd voce?
:D
 
Voce fala portugues tambem?
 
@Zignd no no, me bun amigo.. El español es parecido ;)
 
11:44 PM
Humm
 
But I understand it very well
 
@Seth thanks for the explanation. :)
 
No problem :)
