@hakermania so how do I run this junkie?
 
so who is crashing?
@msPeachy i am building a deb. hold on.
 
@jokerdino & @msPeachy you both run 12.10?
 
@hakermania yep
 
izx
@LnxSlck Yes, thank you for the reminder :P
Revokes @jokerdino's Ubuntu Membership for not knowing how to un-tar from the command-line
 
@izx do that for hakermania too :P
He is a member and a developer
 
izx
10:03 AM
actually tar -xvaf will automagically extract if your tar has a .gz, .bz2, .xz, etc. at the end of it...
@jokerdino It appears you need to be a Member to expel a Member :D (it's the Ubuntu Mafia, I tell you!)
 
oh
 
@izx these kids and their bzip2...tar.gz was always good enough for me feels old
 
@izx I've untarred from the cmd infinite times, but I keep forgetting those letters!!!
 
izx
@msPeachy That was is my window, yes...
@aking1012 True enough; I always felt bzip was nasty (although conceptually fun to understand, even for laymen) --- if you have the time, go xz, if you want speed, go lzop (blazing fast)
 
@izx, you dropped slackware because of no dependecy solver?
 
izx
10:09 AM
And yay! The gravatars are back!
@LnxSlck TBH I dropped Slackware once I graduated beyond a dialup connection and found out I could get more productive distros (cough--Original RedHat--cough) online instead of relying on CDs bundled with magazines :p
 
:)
 
izx
(and because I entered high school and had somewhat less time to mess around) :)
 
i can't get a numbered list in an aswner
 
ok i am not gonna build a deb file. do it yourself everyone
 
i put 1. item list
2. item list

But it always appears as 1.
 
10:15 AM
@LnxSlck gimme link. i edit for you.

@jokerdino but why can't i have an ordered number list?
 
@LnxSlck can't tell. editing secretz
 
@jokerdino why is still holding on
lol
 
some secretz are best kept secretz
how else can i keep doing edits if i tell everything?
 
@jokerdino why are devices mounted under /run/media/user? unlike before it was by default mounted in /media...
 
10:21 AM
when did that change??!
 
@jokerdino, you'll se when i reached 3k, ahahah
 
@LnxSlck 2k rep :P
 
@jokerdino well its how my devices are mounted. lookie here
 
@jokerdino, i can't build up much rep, many new users don't upvote or accept answers :(
 
@msPeachy omg they changed it
@LnxSlck i feel you bro
you got to promote your answers here.
then we will go upvote your answer
 
10:23 AM
@jokerdino, they go like: Thansk man! That worked....
but no upvote or accept
loool
 
ouch
 
@jokerdino I'll just have to edit fstab then
hate that I have to cd to several dirs before I get to my devices
 
:/
i feel so noob
 
wait what? why?
 
dont know
 
10:26 AM
@jokerdino I don't think that there's someone in the PC world not feeling noob :P
there are so many things that you don't know, and so many other things that I don't know. Nobody knows everything !
 
@hakermania ta. right on the nail's head
 
izx
@jokerdino Thanks, will do :P
 
@hakermania you and me both.
@izx no, only for those without 2k/3k rep :P
 
@izx hey, what's in your window btw?
 
now we'll send the cops over @msPeachy house
loool
 
10:29 AM
@LnxSlck huh? why?
 
@msPeachy, all of those movies downloaded
 
izx
In my window is a backyard
On top of the window is a spotlight
Inside the window there's a cat
And the cat is looking...
:P
 
@izx, Ok, now I understood where you live. Be afraid :P
 
@LnxSlck LOOOL
 
@LnxSlck LOL
 
10:32 AM
:D
 
And that doesn't include what's in my DVD collection.
 
you like TOP stuf
 
someone's in deep trouble.
 
100 top movies
 
Honestly most of it were just copied of an external HDD of a friend
well the 100 films of all time, those I did download, I admit to that
 
10:33 AM
same thing :P
 
izx
@msPeachy: Of those, I've seen Pillow Talk, Manchurian Candidate, Princess Bride, and everything in the top 10 Courtroom Drama...
 
@msPeachy, is trying to make a backup of the internet
4
 
@izx seen pillow talk twice this month
 
izx
Then archive.org will make a backup of @msPeachy... :P
 
what's pillow talk about?
 
izx
10:35 AM
Old-time comedy...
 
ok
 
izx
Oh, forgot Groundhog Day..
 
just can't have enough of Rock Hudson
@LnxSlck someone should star that
 
@msPeachy, star what?
 
@LnxSlck it's a must-see, one of the funniest romantic comedy
 
10:36 AM
@msPeachy, i'll look into it
 
@LnxSlck your previous comment about me making a backup of the Internet
 
:)
 
izx
@msPeachy are you a fan of screwball comedies?
 
@izx Love "To Kill A Mockingbird"
just awesome
@izx sometimes, although I only liked the old ones
enjoyed Groundhog Day too, and most of Bill Murray's films
 
"let's just pirate some movies and watch it when bored"
 
10:39 AM
He was so funny on Zombieland, though he only appeared on screen for a few minutes
 
izx
@msPeachy Well, screwball old is basically silent-era, and screwball modern is early 1950s... so....
Bringing up Baby-ish (1938) would be what I was thinking of, I guess
 
@izx how come you're an expert in old films? you're not that old...
Some Like It Hot, was pretty funny
 
izx
I'm a fan...
 
same here
 
izx
Of course...
 
10:40 AM
lame joke incoming...
 
izx
I'm an A/C!
^^^ there, pipped you!
 
I was about to ask table fan or ceiling fan.. :/
 
izx
@msPeachy The last of them was What's Up, Doc? (1972) -- also hilarious
 
what's AC?
Barbra Streisand
 
air condition?
 
@izx Yeah, I remember it now, had to Google it though
 
q@jokerdino are you the dev of nitroshare?
 
@hakermania nope.
 
izx
He is the official beta-tester of Nitroshare
 
I got 250 rep coz of Nitroshare :P
 
10:43 AM
@jokerdino why so?
 
I translate for Nitroshare. That's all.
@hakermania George Edison develops it.
well yes :P
Thanks for that.
 
Hmrffff
There isn't other all-media-converter :(
"Whether or not the world needs yet another ‘format converter’ is debatable – but options never hurt."
sometimes I wanna punch Joey Sneddon on the face !
 
Lolzer
 
@hakermania how do I run junkie?
 
@msPeachy download deb and install it
 
10:46 AM
what about the tar.gz file earlier?
 
what architecture?
 
@jokerdino how do you type so fast? I type blind-system (is this how it is called?) But not so fast!
 
izx
@hakermania jokerdino has 4 hands
 
but no feet
 
10:47 AM
@izx two of them pretty short though.
 
lol
 
izx
But they can still type...
 
i dont type so fast siol!
 
im looking to build a XEN cluster.. should I be considering using the Ubuntu Cloud OS or just go ahead and install normal ubuntu server?
XEN cluster to eventually host VPS
 
izx
You want to sell VPS-hosting?
 
10:48 AM
eventually
for now just playing
 
izx
Try WHT then...real pros in there who'll help...
 
wht?
 
izx
webhostingtalk.com
The Ubuntu Cloud OS isn't really meant for VPSs --- it's more like when one or a few people have central control of many machines, like universities, industrial labs, etc.
You'd have problems giving individual control to people.
 
ah ok
 
izx
And you also have to consider if the control panel you want to use (Solus?) will work...
 
10:49 AM
ok this is how i type so fast
 
izx
AFAIK it works only with CentOS...
 
type early; type often
 
izx
; and get off the internet by midnight :p
 
yes that :P
 
ill find out what solus is thanks
 
10:50 AM
ok time for dinner
 
enjoy dinner
 
izx
supper, dinner, warm milk, late-night coffee...I lose track of all jokerdino's meals...
 
izx: solusvm.com <-- this is what you were referring to ?
 
@izx and @stueng why do you guys have the same(almost identical) gravatar?
 
we lazy
 
10:58 AM
@msPeachy They're the automatically generated ones (like mine). It probably just turned out that way. (In other words, as stueng says, we're lazy and haven't uploaded our own.)
 
izx
@msPeachy It's based on a graphical representation (think hash) of the email address...
 
so izx, you know much about VPS hosting ?
 
Impressive. I thought there were like 100 defaults, not that each one had its own
 
@izx oh okay (but really didn't get it) lol...
 
@msPeachy a program reads your email address letter by letter and, depending on it, it makes this avatar, unless you upload your own
 
11:01 AM
@hakermania thanks for taking time to explain it to me
got it now
 
izx
@stueng A little, but from the *hosted*/customer side, not hosting/provider side :)
 
@msPeachy I need rep. Thanks don't do anything
xD
 
lol
 
izx
LOL
 
okay, reps coming your way
 
izx
11:03 AM
rep incoming!!! :D
 
you're now part of my routine (AU awesome members to upvote daily)
 
@msPeachy, how do i get into that list ? :D
 
so izx you would be a good person to help trial as a custoemr then :P
 
@LnxSlck :)) you were gonna send the cops my way
there
 
loool
i tell them to be nice... bring some coffe and donuts
 
11:11 AM
LOL
you should send the cutest one though
 
The OP has edited this question to request that it be closed (it turned out to be about Windows, so the OP has posted a question at Super User). So we should go ahead and close it:

Q: Windows 7 / Ubuntu 12.04 dual boot - Windows 7 won't shut down

StickI recently restored a Toshiba laptop using its recovery partition, which claims to revert Windows 7 "back to factory settings". It booted up, shut down just fine. I opted to restore to ~100GB of the disk, leaving the other partition blank. I then installed Ubuntu 12.04 on the other partition (...

 
izx
^^ done
@msPeachy ^^^ take your pick :P
 
LOL you're a funny guy @izx
 
izx
More on the sarcasm/subtle/Britcom side though, rather than laugh-track ha-ha :)
 
the one with the suspenders look like Jeff Goldblum
 
izx
11:19 AM
hahaha
 
ha ha ha, he really does, well when jeff was younger
btw, what's the color of the question indicator, if it has upvoted answers?
 
izx, in your experience how many vm's would a host run on a single 8 core physcial server?
8 core xeon, 5506 or 5508
 
izx
@stueng sorry, no clue...
 
11:28 AM
@izx she is LP admin.
let her be nice
 
izx
That shouldn't matter, this is self-QA spam....seriously...
 
ok what do you want me to tell her?
Going AFK. will leave her a message if you want me to.
 
@jokerdino no menu bar on the new Nautilus, how do I get the Status bar to display?
 
izx
Umm, @jokerdino, looks like she's pasting mailing list questions with her answers or something totally weird/random. Tell her to read the FAQ and STOP. FOR. THE. LOVE. OF. GOD.

whoah dash hides behind opened windows!
 
izx
11:39 AM
^^^ have fun alpha-testing :P
 
lol
what's up with that Q&A?
i thought it's okay to do that?
 
Guys do you know what I don't seem to get? The focus levels. Desktop is at level 0, then, after this, there are infinite levels. For example, if you have 100 open applications (none minimized) it will be the one behind the other. So, you will have a total of 101 levels. If you show a notification, it will go to level 102, and if you open dash it will be on the 103 and if you open a fullscreen gameit will be 104. Okay, I assume this thinking is totally wrong. Anyone has a clue?
 
izx
@msPeachy It's okay to ask your own question and then answer it, but it seems like she's pasting questions from a mailing list/forum and then answering them herself, which is okay too, but not 7-8 such poorly asked questions every hour!
 
It is kinda weird though,
oopps
 
izx
Guys this madman is on the loose again self-duping his own recent questions, close-vote please:

Can you answer this? Does precise support hibernating to a swap file? http://askubuntu.com/q/175037?atw=1 #hibernate
 
jrg
@aking1012 so you're looking for $1-2K, minimum. Ok.
 
@msPeachy did you upvote all these posts of mine?
 
not all, just one, I try not to be a serial voter or else it will be reversed, you must have fans other than me then.
 
o/
@izx wazzup with new gravatar?
@jrg is that you???
OMG whats happening? One day and all gravatars change..
 
12:08 PM
@Mahesh izx changed it cos I said so, lol
 
Heh
 
jrg's gravatar is a photo uploaded by mateo
@hakermania bah
 
@msPeachy oh..
 
yeah, I can make him do things you know, like cleaning up my kitchen...lol
 
Hahaha
 
12:11 PM
@izx ^^
 
@izx ^^
 
don't ping him
 
He must know :D
 
looks like he is busy..
 
Also, I can make RT do the laundry
@hakermania Oh he knows, he's busy answering questions, I'm sure
 
12:12 PM
@msPeachy how do you know he's busy?
 
@hakermania cos he tells me so?
 
@msPeachy where/when
 
where? when? that's for you to find out
 
Hello all
 
12:16 PM
@ObsessiveFOSS hey!
 
@hakermania can't stop laughing here
 
@msPeachy I know xD
 
@izx Thank you for changing your gravatar to something other than your identicon.
 
@hakermania ha ha ha, how did you find it?
 
@msPeachy I an Imgur member and somebody had posted it at the comments. The Imgur family is awesome ;)
 
12:19 PM
will Google Imgur
 
@msPeachy Imgur is the main hoster of Reddit
@msPeachy oh! For askubuntu too
 
oh image sharing
 
yep
 
nice
 
jrg
@Mahesh I am the dread pirate roberts.
And i must say, I make a very studly pirate when in black.
@jokerdino has Q been freezing up for you a lot lately?
it's slowly becoming unusable for me....
 
12:28 PM
why OP no accept? damn..
 
@LnxSlck Some users get their answer hen dump their accounts.
 
man
that sucks
 
jrg
Fact of life. shrugs
 
@LnxSlck link?
 
jrg
nothing we can do about it.
 
izx
12:29 PM
@jrg: this may be a canonical employee (says @jokerdino), but she appears to be posting questions from a mailing list, without any editing, and then kinda-sorta-answering at the rate of 7-8 per hour. thoughts?
 
@LnxSlck none of my answers were accepted, none so far, and that really really pisses me off, LOL, just kidding
 
@jrg, yes i know, but at least the answer marked as accept, would help future searchs for the same question
 
izx
permalinks de-linkify? anyway here you go:

@msPeachy, it's kind of annoying
 
12:31 PM
@LnxSlck don't worry you'll get more rep from people upvoting your answers than what you'll get if the OP accepted your answer.
 
jrg
@izx interesting, i could have sworn she already had an account
 
@izx Thank you for changing your gravatar to something mathematical.
3
 
@msPeachy, true but still it upsets me a little
 
@izx @ObsessiveFOSS has been thanking you twice now for your new gravatar
@LnxSlck rep coming your way
 
izx
@jrg Well, what bothers me is not the rate or who she is, but that the titles/questions are often poor quality for AU, and some of her answers are forum-y/mailing-list-y...
 
12:32 PM
@msPeachy: =)
 
izx
@ObsessiveFOSS: you are quite welcome.
@msPeachy You're welcome too...
 
@jrg pfffttt
 
jrg
Well, i know. was just remarking about something else.
 
@izx well, for whatever it is, I'm grateful
 
izx
lol
 
12:34 PM
there's no way to pm users, right?
 
izx
no...
 
jrg
@SirCharlo nope
@izx Only thing I can think of to do is to edit. shrugs
 
Why are so many people changing ther gravatars?
 
@izx @jrg thanks
 
jrg
And why did someone go through and downvote almost every single question?!
 
12:36 PM
I think the header for askubuntu.com/faq#editing should be an interrobang, eh‽
 
@jrg thats what i was wondering about..
 
@jrg Shouldn't that be reversed by the serial downvoting detector?
 
jrg
@Mahesh Yeah... it's just not right.
 
can you verify if its the same person?
 
jrg
@ObsessiveFOSS Yes, but that only fixes rep loss. Doesn't change the fact the question is now at -1.
 
12:37 PM
if its the same, yup, it should get reversed.
@jrg what? i didn't know that....
 
jrg
shrugs it's not that big of a deal.
 
I thought votes get reversed
otherwise how will the system keep track for later recalcs?
 
jrg
I told you all I know.
Just got my first AskUbuntu.com captcha since becoming a mod. I thought I wasn't supposed to get those anymore?
 
izx
^^^ join us plebs
@Obs congrats on 2k!!
 
@jrg I don't get why users with rep > 100 get those...
 
12:42 PM
hi
why do i see a zorro parody here?
 
jrg
@jokerdino I'm not Zorro. I am The Dread Pirate Roberts.
 
@jokerdino it's a pirate. Not zorro
 
me don't see a huge difference. one steals and the other steals from those who steals.
 
jrg
@jokerdino I also do that plunder and pillaging thing. Plus, I end up marrying a Princess. Hard to beat that.
 
No
me liked Catherine Zeta Jones back then.
 
jrg
12:44 PM
"We come from the sea! As swift as can be! We come to your village to plunder and pillage! VIKI- oh wrong type of seafaring warrior."
 
lolz
@msPeachy they removed the global menu in nautilus. it is under discussion. i'll let you know how things goes after a while.
 
@jokerdino what? why?
 
@izx ok i got to do it in the nicest way possible. thanks.
 
@jokerdino is there a way to display the status bar, even without the global menu?
 
@hakermania GNOME devs
 
12:46 PM
@jokerdino Sigh, why they never hear what people have to say?
 
wait, what status bar?
@hakermania the nautilus 3.5 has only the bare features. they removed most of the good features..
 
@jokerdino of Nautilus!
 
jrg
 
BREATHE
 
jrg
@aking1012 see above, it seems like your crypto game.
on a very basic level.
 
12:50 PM
@msPeachy not sure. i dont really care about file managers.
 
mc ftw!!!
 
omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/… four people be hating nitroshare. me sad
 
izx
Hmm, upvoted the ones I saw at -1. @jokerdino someone needs to edit those titles at least. And please remind her to accept the answers after the 48h timeout! Who is this lady anyway...?
 
@izx launchpad admin.
sorta
she is the tech writer at LP
 
izx
Like the webmaster?
 
jrg
12:52 PM
@izx launchpad dev relations, more or less.
uh.... more like i-do-everything.
 
things like blog updates and mailing lists.
 
@jokerdino It's good to have a view of the entire partitions details such as space used, free etc, at the status bar though.
 
and then, social networks.
 
jrg
sorta. kinda. not really.
 
izx
An ok, sounds like a great person.
 
12:53 PM
@msPeachy no idea. i never really used those.
 
izx
Just better titles would be good...people interested can parse the q/a then
 
okay.
btw, who went and downvoted those?! o.O
i am afraid it is someone from the chat.
 
jrg
shrugs nobody knows.
and i'm not looking.
 
downvoted what?
 
> rather irritating when I have to copy over some Answers from LP there
Hm
i am yet to ping her.
 
izx
12:58 PM
@jrg @jokerdino this is deeply unsettling. Laura appears to be posting Launchpad questions and then effectively plagiarizing someone else's answers as her own...
@jokerdino Just what a quick gizoogle told me...
 
jrg
I'll talk to her.
 
well, i think we just need to put her in the right track.
@jrg ok you go then.
i be just sitting on the background.
i don't want to put myself in the bad light :P
 
izx
Yes, it looks like the last 14-15 are all from the Launchpad MAAS Q/A...
 
@jrg in #ubuntu-community-team please?
 
jrg
@jokerdino Ok, keeping it logged. shrug
