Many of us join groups to connect with other professionals within our industries, but we don't think about joining groups where...

1:28 PM

hi @Prasad @penreturn

hi @smartboyhw \o

@penreturn don't know.

im not sure if it can move open window to top...

@penreturn hey

hi @RolandTaylor ... about move panel... sure can move open window to top too?

1:31 PM

@penreturn yes

@fossfreedom: Why do you think I brought it up on meta? It's not as cut and dry as say, backtrack or mint.

@jrg i think foss' answer was good.

if it is specifically about running zentyol, then no.

That guy talking about whether to use caps or not......../me sighs

if it was ubuntu with zentyol packages, then yes.

lol @Prasad... @RolandTaylor ohh i donno that! that new thing to learn!

1:32 PM

(Is it Zentyol?)

@jokerdino: How do you tell the difference?

@penreturn yep

(Zentyal, but doesn't matter)

What is Zentyal?

ask for LSB_RELEASE xD

1:32 PM

lsb_release -a shows 12.04.1

fake.

/me shows 12.10

if they mention zentyal, close it. else, leave it aside.

@jrg we need to watch what canonical are up to - blurring the lines me think.

I think my morning project at work will be to fire up a 12.04 server VM and install all the zentyal-* packages, and see what happens.

1:34 PM

@fossfreedom I think Canonical is up to do ads

takes advantage of his employers fast internet connection while he can

common misconception ... just providing the means to find stuff..

1:40 PM

Anyway ok remove my comment:D

Zentyal is a program suite that sits on Ubuntu?

2:14 PM

@AbrahamVanHelpsing lol

lol

@AbrahamVanHelpsing What is the relationship for a "Welcome to Mexico" board in Miami and iOS 6 eh?

He is in mexico but his IOS6 says Miami.

Man, explaining a joke kills it.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

iOS maps vs google maps...

@jokerdino Ah LOL then

2:15 PM

:D

Sure the iOS 6 map is another piece of bloatware

says the guy who uses Steve Jobs gravatar.

@jokerdino Yeah after Steve died Apple flopped

hehhehe yeah they did sue business now

:>

2:20 PM

Maps for iOS 6 has yet to fail me...

I don't know what everyone is whining about...

I even took it to chicago and it worked great...

I never got lost...

Well, it is somewhat not miscued in US.

(except for when I thought I knew a better route...

@Joshua Go to Hong Kong then and see how it flopped

But the rest of the world.. you know.

@smartboyhw +1

2:21 PM

@penreturn Thx

Apple doesn't really care about the rest of the world, their primary customer base is here in the US....

Whatever they sell in the global market is just icing on the cake...

nope...

Nothing much to add here. Everyone, move on.

@jokerdino don't be a party pooper...

@Joshua Well they just got 2nd Apple Store in for Hong Kong, 3rd coming soon, new products get sold first in Hong Kong and Hongkongers mostly have iPhones on their pockets. Also the Mainland China market is great for them

2:23 PM

thats true story

same goes to malaysia

need someone to edit this into something that can be answered - or close it... askubuntu.com/questions/198218/…

@smartboyhw you are right... compitition is sto stiff here in the US...

with Andriod and all...

@Joshua Hong Kong too duh

@fossfreedom on it.

@smartboyhw appearantly not if everyone already has iPhones in their pockets... wouldn't that mean that they have to market cornered, and all they are doing is selling upgrades?

Or at least one would assume...

wth???

news.yahoo.com/…

2:27 PM

@Joshua well exaggreation there with EVERYONE having iPhones....But then true Hong Kong has a lot of iPhone users. Well indeed many people wander in the Apple stores to play with iPads and iPhones

On that wth news....er gross

@smartboyhw no doubt...

@fossfreedom Done

cheers - nice editing.

Thanks.

yeah, great job

2:36 PM

I chose to save it. I could have downvoted and close voted. ;p

It may be because the backports are not considered as a milestone. They work on it on development release and once they realize that it can also be fixed on the previous release, they backport it

hi @balpha

@jokerdino your generosity

YAY. We're back. looks like.

hi @jrg

2:37 PM

@OliveTwist maybe because i am not in a bad mood.

@jrg when were we down?

@OliveTwist expand that - you've got a valid answer ... can you back that up with a fact or two?

@jrg Yeah when is the site down at all?

Q: What happened to Chat?

I just logged in to The Comms Room (ServerFault chat) and noticed this: Based on comments and quick look at a few rooms, seems to be all sites except Tavern on the meta. Something seems amiss...

support bug chat

I HAVE SCREENSHOTS

We were safe all along!

@fossfreedom thank you. I'll try it

2:37 PM

THIS REALLY HAPPENED. I"M NOT HALLUCINATING. honest

But it was just fine for us!

@OliveTwist I edited the question into backports vs forward ports.

Lies I tell you. Lies.

> I hope I saved this question

;)

I tried my best :(

Ok. i was thanking you

2:42 PM

@jrg You are lying

@jrg, can you close and reopen this question?

Shiny - done.

Nice

Thank you!

hmm.. the title has changed

Q: How to search for strings inside files in a folder?

2:49 PM

can more people vote on this question? It would rise in the collider

6

Is there any utility to make searches for a string inside ASCII files to avoid command line searches? How to make a command line search, for example for the string "test" inside all files in the directory /var/x/?

software-recommendation search string

@OliveTwist well, he deserves the downvote now.

I've voted

You what? oh that question.

on string question

yeah i got that.

i also edited the answer, you know

2:52 PM

re: this rant, I am afraid he just undid my work.

@OliveTwist yeah I saw the screenshot edit. Good work!

@jokerdino about the LTS vs Development release?

yeah

I think the proposed are enabled by default, is it right?

he changed the question into a rant FYI.

yes, i saw it

2:54 PM

closed

Yeah actually @jrg is correct a notification bar popped up about it

closed... i was writing an answer

@OliveTwist you can still post the answer when you are done.

oh. thanks.

1 min ago, by Olive Twist

I think the proposed are enabled by default, is it right?

proposed is disabled but backports are enabled

2:55 PM

thank you

UH

There's a chance of one in five that you experienced some time travel in the past half hour. This should be fixed now, but a few messages may have been lost (but most people wouldn't have seen your message anyway). Sorry about that. See Meta Stack Overflow for details.

@fossfreedom thanks

i saw this also @smartboyhw

So @jrg is correct and we are all wrong.....

@smartboyhw DIdn't you read the part about it being one in 5?
