Does someone knows a repository for use cases?

I use GitHub for code stuff but I don't know how to share designs, models and documentation between devs..

Minato Namikaze

@Lucio for models, just upload an .stl

Hello. I have installed Ubuntu on my usb drive as a live system using Yumi (Your Universal Multiboot Installer). I set a persistence for 3 gigs. Didn't save a thing. Help?

Lucio

@MinatoNamikaze what is that?

Do you mean, upload the file used for the software that the team is using (EA, or whatever)?

Minato Namikaze

5:41 AM

@Lucio What sort of models are we talking?

@lucio: You found our repository :)

Flipkart's SSL cert breaking for anyone else?

@AvinashRaj --^

Avinash Raj

wait

@Lucio I think that's a feature that is pretty much lacking everywhere. It would make an awesome add-on to trello, but it would also take away from the super-simmplicity of trello making it a different thing.

@MinatoNamikaze

hmm

something seems off

@Rishee Just about

Rishee

hey I wanted to clarify one thing

from the man page: -l Note that this does not disable the account. The user may still be able to login using another authentication token (e.g. an SSH key). To disable the account, administrators should use usermod --expiredate 1 (this set the account's expire date to Jan 2, 1970). — Levon Feb 6 at 21:43

if you go to this question and check the last comment on the answer that I posted .... is that right or wrong ... I could not find any information from Ubuntu wiki about it...? can you let me know how true is it?

Rishee

@Oil can you please check below question

Q: How to install and configure Dynamic VLAN Server?

I have below setup: Firewall: Fortinet 240D *Core Switches are 2 one is Juniper EX 4200 & second one is EX 3300* I want to configure Dynamic VLAN Server on Ubuntu Linux 12.04.3 Kernel and CPU: Linux 3.8.0-32-generic on i686 I have confirmed with Junniper technical support that EX3300 & EX4200...

Does Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty tahr have a official logo yet?

Avinash Raj

@Alvar i had used the correct code tag.

Oli

The first is true (I've been testing it). And I know nothing about VLANs except roughly what they are.

Rishee

9:04 AM

@Oli Thanks for confirmingthe answer posted on first question. Do you know anyone who is on this forum, who should be able to answer that VLAN Question? I can drop him a message to look at this question then or ping him for the same... :)

Alvar

@AvinashRaj you used <pre> and it looked wrong. it's better to highlight the code with the code tag it looks better ..

Avinash Raj

what's the code tag? you mean <code></code>

Alvar

now click the code tag

Avinash Raj

````

^ this

Alvar

you have a row extra ...

Avinash Raj

9:16 AM

Like this

Alvar

can't see it in chat....

Oli

@AvinashRaj Not sure about the instance but use the Markdown formatting when you can. That's four spaces before every line for the <pre><code> equivalent. There's a button on the toolbar that lets you format a chunk of text (or Control+K will call it too)

Alvar

with the pre method you get an extra line and it looks strange ..

Avinash Raj

@Oli four spaces before each line was so harder for me.But <pre> simplifies the task.

Oli

@AvinashRaj As I say, the site has javascript that simplifies this into a non-issue (actually makes it easier than using pres and makes the source easier to read too)

Avinash Raj

9:20 AM

@Oli ctrl + k does superbly.

Oli

Write the code
Highlight the code
Click the icon or press Control+K. Done.

Avinash Raj

9:49 AM

why i have to add commands askubuntu.com/questions/433591/…

Oli

@AvinashRaj I'm not sure you have to "add commands" but it wouldn't hurt to explain how you "just mount the windows partition".

Avinash Raj

now it's ok askubuntu.com/a/433593/202806

Rishee

@Oli Hey do you know anyone from this forum who can help me with that VLAN question?

Oli

10:25 AM

@Rishee Not explicitly. It's a fairly specialist area. If you don't get an answer organically (or through a bounty), you might have more luck in a more specialised Stack Exchange site like Server Fault or the new Network Engineering site.

Rinzwind

again a nice question Oli :D

Avinash Raj

where?

@AvinashRaj frontpage has 1 q from Oli >:)

@AvinashRaj - thanks for that - just to say - if you see spam - shout "SPAM" and flag it. Please do not link it here since Google has a habit of linking to this sort of stuff very quickly.

its immediate if you shout "SPAM" here

Oli

@AvinashRaj Please stop deleting all your messages. It makes us (me, at least) really suspicious when I come into a room and there's just a big list of deleted stuff and it takes me a while to go through it all to make sure you're not (for example) just insulting people and deleting the message.

ohh sorry :-)

never do it again :-)

Q: How to use Ubuntu Server with LAMP?

I have installed Ubuntu Server with LAMP on a VM (in VirtualBox). Now when I boot into the server, it only shows me a terminal. I have never done networking before, so I have no idea what to do with it. So please tell me how to use it. I just want a website running on my virtual network. Details...

^Her reply: Really? -_-

Minato Namikaze

People booted up the computer and just sat there, unsure what to do next.

That's when we decided to label the System button "Start".

It says, "You dummy. Click here." And it sent our usability numbers through the roof, because all of a sudden, people knew what to click when they wanted to do something.

blade19899

lol

@mods, if bruno needs R&R time, then this should not be featured on askubuntu. can you feature something else to make sure it is no longer part of the community bullitin? Just out of respect for Bruno. meta.askubuntu.com/questions/8672/…

jokerdino

What's a R&R time? I might not mind.

don.joey

rest and something else :)

I don't remember

jokerdino

2:30 PM

Now I get it. I actually found the question out of taste myself. Too nosy. etc

don.joey

Maybe we should delete it?

jokerdino

And I dont know how to remove it from the community bulletin.. :/

don.joey

@jokerdino just feature a bunch of other things (add the 'feature' tag to them) and it will disappear automatically

Minato Namikaze

@don.joey that military thing right?

don.joey

Since no mod has reacted to that question, I consider the answer to be unofficial anyway

Minato Namikaze

2:32 PM

rest and recuperation

jokerdino

Hmm, I'll let someone else handle it then?

don.joey

@MinatoNamikaze makes sense

badp

which means you can change songs, volume, keyboard layout and see what dates are bolded in your calendar without logging in

perhaps a little more concerningly, it means that you can open an arbitrary amount of character map windows for the user to find when they unlock their screen.

jokerdino

are you on Unity's or gnome-shell's place?

rhythmbox shows Rhythmbox requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder error.

is that i had to install ubuntu restricted extras?

fossfreedom

@AvinashRaj yep - install that package and that should resolve that error

Avinash Raj

@foss it's about 75 MB of data i need to download.Is there any possibilities to download and install the required packages for Rhythmbox only.

fossfreedom

When rhythmbox complains - just click the install button and it should install the codec package for you

Harris Rubin

@AvinashRaj not sure about the individual package itself since I only install the restricted-extras - possibly its just this one gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
