what's all this mess in here? :(
 
zach and kaz wanted to close questions that needed a 5th CV
and i think also questions that needed 2 or 3 CVs since there were 3 of us active at that time
 
 
2 hours later…
7:38 AM
why did they leave this here? :( askubuntu.com/a/360456/527764
 
@Zanna NAA imo
@Zanna lol at least OP did say it messed up his system, so i guess caveat emptor to whoever uses his answer :p
 
thanks, I flagged it

10:25 AM
@Zanna I understood some things you said.
 
but not others? are you sad?
 
I had a feeling you were less active in the other room because you were focusing more on the cards and the board -- and that was because of me. Bit of guilt.
 
there are 3 factors and that is the smallest one
 
oh OK.
@Zanna want to dupe it to askubuntu.com/questions/614844/… instead?
 
10:46 AM
I do if you do...
 
I don't anymore.
 
oops now I voted
 
Let me think once again. Keep it
 
haha OK, sorry!
 
11:11 AM
the other factors are that it's nice in this room & that for me personally it's not so nice as it was over there, I don't understand any of what some people talk about
 
@jokerdino may I ask a question?
 
Sure
 
How do I use the trello board
A stupid question
but I'm a noobs
 
Firstly, you need an account on Trello.
 
I did right now
Did I read your mind?
 
11:23 AM
That I am not sure.
My mind wanders.
 
Lol
What do I do now
GODDAMN AUTOCORRECT
 
@Zanna ah that's a bit of relief for me. Still I need to fix the other room. Hmm
@Edity do you see the board full of cards?
 
Yes
It looks like a card game
 
What? It's not a card game..
 
I said "It looks like"
I didn't say it was :P
 
11:28 AM
@jokerdino <3 <3 <3 but it is ok
 
I'm now looking at cards
What do I do
@__@
 
Each card contains a link to a question where the person who asked the question has also added an answer.
You read the question and determine if the supposed answer is really one or does it need to be flagged as NAA, etc.
 
The only thing I can do is subscribe.
 
Yeah, it only works well when you have 3k+ rep.
 
What about me with nearly 300 rep ;(
 
11:34 AM
You are almost there. Just one more zero at the end and you are done!
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so do I have to be 3k rep to use the board?
 
Yes.

Deactivating account
Account nuked from orbit
i can't see it
Goodbye Trello. see you in 10 years
 
lol the drama
 
why do I have to be a Linux noob
end my suffering
@Zanna LOL
I'm a bit scared on answering posts
One: Downvotes
Two: Being a n00b
 
11:52 AM
heh you should try. I knew nothing when I came here. I learned everything I know since April, actually, by trying to answer questions...
 
12:05 PM
@Zanna just did
Pray that it gets accepted
PLEASE

A: Installing Ubuntu 16.04 LTE on eMMC storage

JohnI have been working on exactly the same problem, and apparently after trying about 26 different linux installations, the eMMC card of the Acer won't accept any of them. So, I proceeded to install back the Windows 10 on it. I downloaded an image, and followed this guide to create the Win bootable...

 
puzzling! I'm so clueless I can't think of a way to test it... did it work?! askubuntu.com/questions/364946/…
 
What do we do about that?
 
idk, you may want to ask in the other room? more peoples there...
 
12:48 PM
Where I left comment and OP returned and accepted their answer, I archived the card. Was that OK?
 
yeah, that's the best that can happen.
 
thanks :)
um this is Elementary OS, should I edit it out or VTC? askubuntu.com/questions/364974/… I guess I can upvote the answer
 
1:03 PM
that's confusing
I'm just going to upvote it.
 
I edited out the parenthetical mention of elementary & archived the card :)
 
2:06 PM
@Anwar so grateful for your knowledge - your edits fixed some posts I had no clue what to do with :)
 
shrugs 1 such example?
 
I archived already haha I don't know, but I was really relieved when I looked at them, I was like "oooh now it all makes sense!"
I left a note on one card for you saying thanks
 
ah. thanks.
 
2:39 PM
I only have 3 votes left, used them all on all the interesting new Qs today

I cannot find any differences between OP's answer and this one — Zanna 4 hours ago
@Zanna, I think adding a sudo on the last command.
 
Lol mental autocorrect
Sorry >_<
 
I didn't fix it..
 
Now I fixed it
 
Sorry, I should have done it myself but didn't want to ruin the satisfaction, or actual relevant word that should go here.
 
6:06 PM
Maybe there is an SE post somewhere about that...
 
Some people derive satisfaction out of doing the job properly and fully. I am sure you are one of those.
If I fixed it, that will not be right..
(Things I have to say to excuse my laziness)
I am saying a lot of stupid things today.
 
Ah I thought that's what you meant, that was so considerate <3
I missed those...
 
Lol, I doubt you were actually thinking that.
But if you were, then that's really admirable. I would want to emulate that.
 
6:27 PM
I need to work on being grateful rather than horribly embarrassed when people correct me. Nothing admirable about that... but it is very British & very annoying to reject compliments, so I will stop it. Thank you. Xxx
 
let's see...
@Zanna you are awesome!
 
Oh no, not at all
Gah! its hard coded... I need to recompile myself
 
how does one compile oneself
:p
 
Her awesomeness is hard coded in her.
 
@edwinksl Read a lot, and get called out a lot, and try reallly hard to listen, and screw up, and keep trying
@jokerdino <333
 
6:42 PM
@Zanna ./configure gave me a ton of errors...
 
7:02 PM
Missing libraries ;)
Or maybe you need to try a cmake method, make yourself a cosy internal place and arrange stuff from there
 
brb entering mind palace
 
"Light the lamp of the inner self, and walk by its light" something like that...
 
7:47 PM
It makes no sense to flag old questions. If it is you who VTC 3-4 year old questions, please stop it. — Pilot6 10 mins ago
nice one, pilot
 
7:59 PM
If you didn't see jokerdino's comment on the last one of those I quoted here, I will find it in the transcript...
Oli's answer is a little bit demoralizing

Q: Why EC2 image for 14.04.5 addressing CVE-2016-6304 has not been released yet?

PirataCVE-2016-6304 is a High Vulnerability It has been released on 12.04 (1.0.1-4ubuntu5.37), 14.04 (1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.20) and 16.06 (1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.4) according to https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-6304.html But only the EC2 image for 16.04 have been released on 2016092...

Not about Ubuntu, we're not AWS
 
I think you can put that in the other room, more ppl to close it
 
so then why does this room exist
 
I'm not sure, but we normally post stuff to close in general room since lots of people are there
 
@Zanna well i think someone needs to write a post to address this before people like pilot6 start pointing fingers
 
8:11 PM
@edwinksl :( I'm sorry that happened. I left a comment. I also answered that question as you saw... I don't know what else to do right now.
 
not your fault though
 
Well it's nobody's fault if not mine so I'm not looking around for someone else to fix it
 
anyway, it is just a minor annoyance and also what i consider typical of pilot. i don't have very high expectations of my interactions with him
