Ask Ubuntu General Room

what would the PID be?

ok

are you using cp or the GUI?

GUI

oh

i don't know how to target the GUI

maybe ps aux | grep nautilus?

12:01 AM

Seems that the process keeps changing :/

?

david 4853 0.0 0.0 14224 956 pts/5 S+ 19:57 0:00 grep --color=auto cp changes every time you run that ps command.

oh?

yeah. that process represents the grep command you're running right now.

i assume the copy process is nautilus, but don't quote me on that.

12:04 AM

Hm I might need the ID of the Files app

i don't have 15GB of files I can test-copy right now, sadly

It's copying in Files app so would that be nautilus?

I think Files is nautilus

k

and the higher the number is the more important it is set as?

sorta

first, you need to set it to best-effort because doing real-time is dangerous

then set it to like 4 or something.

12:05 AM

Do what now???

sudo ionice -c 4 -p 1734

I ran that

._.

WTF is best-effort @KazWolfe

@KazWolfe Any reason why u called me earlier?

Hi Owen how's grade 9 treating you?... It wasn't Kaz it was my fault.

@OwenHines ^^^^

@WinEunuuchs2Unix It's going great

Getting high B's, low A's.

Somewhere around there

Were you playing hookey on Monday? I saw you answering questions at 10am my time (9am your time) :D

I was in an easy class. Did all my work already

Besides, we have laptops for school anyways

:P

12:19 AM

LOL... I kind of coasted grade 9 to grade 11... Grade 12 I pulled my grades up for college entrance.

Q: Acquiring pre-releases/betas for unreleased distros for testing

at least u got the grades for 12

Ooooh

@WinEunuuchs2Unix

I haven't seen a question formatted this well in a while

0

Question Is there any way for the general public to get access to Ubuntu pre-release/beta ISOs or tarballs for testing? Background I currently help maintain a Linux product, and the bulk of our customers currently use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. When the next 17.04 and 18.04 LTS r...

Answer him and tell him he can use Ubuntu 16.10 beta for 2 days and then the real version comes out....LOL

lel

You know 16.10 comes out October 14th right?

Yeah

Can't upgrade though

12:24 AM

I'll jump on the band wagon because there should be lots of Q&A bugs.

^^

Why can't you upgrade?

I'm stuck on 14.04 for Chromebook

Latest stable Ubuntu version for crouton

brb, gonna go hop onto my desktop

Guy at work said he was reading on reddit yesterday a guy ordered chromebook from Amazon but they sent him $2,000 Alienware laptop by mistake, when he reported it they told him he could keep it for being so honest.

lol

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

I wanna be that guy

12:28 AM

lol...yeah it sounds sweet.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix link?

that's insane.

someone probably lost their job over it.

@Seth the guy at work didn't give me a link we were just on a smoke break.

ah.

O_o let a person keep a $ 2000 laptop ? something doesn't smell right here

@KazWolfe This guy posted a question and answered it himself about Chrome 54 bug but in comments it sounds like he isn't even effected and I wonder about varacity: askubuntu.com/questions/836261/…

@Serg Not to mention the guy reporting it makes him sound like a saint.

12:33 AM

Time for me to review

39 CVS??

Q: Firefox redirects askubuntu.com to google.com

3

On 16.04 with Firefox, whenever I try to go to askubuntu.com, I'm redirected to google.com ! This is true if I type the address in the url or if I click on the askubuntu logo on this site. Notice that going to a specific question works... Is there an ongoing problem on the site, or is the probl...

discussion firefox

seriously guys? Not a meta question at all.

@Seth really? It seems to be about AU

since they don't mention any other sites

how in the world would the site redirect to google?

@Seth um an Ask Ubuntu question about accessing Ask Ubuntu?....LOL

Without the developers explicitly making it?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix An Ask Ubuntu question about why your Firefox is messed up.

12:37 AM

@Seth Remember how the Opera thing was fine on Meta? Twice? This is similar, it's just FF messing up instead

what Opera thing?

The Opera VPN issue

returning 404s on AU

that's on meta?

I seem to remember it being on main..

Q: AskUbuntu pages are returning an error when connected to Opera's built in VPN

maybe it was migrated

nope not migrated

1

The issue is simple. When I navigate to: Why do pages not load in any browser after updating Ubuntu 12.04? I can load it as expected. When I toggle on Opera's built in VPN I get: Page Not Found We're sorry, we couldn't find the page you requested. My external IP address when connected to the ...

support

@OwenHines I answered that question about the professional tester who couldn't find a copy of Ubuntu beta: askubuntu.com/questions/836286/…

12:38 AM

god i hate this textbook

lol

@Zacharee1 well that's not on-topic on main either..

How do you guys post the image of the question instead of the text link like I just did?

I don't care enough to do anything, too much mess. but it's not right..

seriously , the author has some sort of attention disorder. They throw around formulas for FM, but then expect us to guess that PM is the same

12:39 AM

AU itself cannot redirect you to Google without major incompetency from the SE devs.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix it automatically does it :/

@Seth but we didn't know that it was because of an FF plugin. It's very similar to the Opera VPN issue

@Zacharee1 we just know that AU can't cause it itself, so not a meta question ;)

Like, with the Opera thing, it wasn't SE devs killing off pages, it was Opera VPN doing it

Still asked on Meta twice

@OwenHines Okie Dokie, but on my screen I just see the text of the link, not the formatted question as your appears.

12:40 AM

oh, well idk

It wasn't AU causing it, but we still put it on Meta.

he*

alrighty then

Sorry I haven't been on too much lately. A really fun Halloween update came out for Overwatch :)

3 mins ago, by Seth

I don't care enough to do anything, too much mess. but it's not right..

12:43 AM

But also, the FF thing was technically specifically about accessing AskUbuntu and not any other sites. technically that belongs on Meta :p

@Seth If you bring it up, I'm gonna argue my case

@Zacharee1 mm, no.

@OwenHines I've heard the phrase "Overwatch" but I don't know what part of pop culture it is... ie Video Game or TV.

it's like asking the Google people why your browser redirects Google to Ask ubuntu. They'd laugh in your face.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Game

Thankfully we don't do that here, but you get my point.

12:44 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix playoverwatch.com

@OwenHines I will after I get my Nvidia card working in 3 years... right now just the Intel HD4000 is running.

@Seth but the Opera thing really is the same type of question: something in Opera was causing AU not to work. Here, something in FF is causing AU not to work

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I'm just linking you to the official website for u to know what I'm talking about. It's $40 so if u wanna get it, it's ur choice

@OwenHines I'm actually holding out for Mass Effect Andromeda sometime time next year and hoping it will have Vulkan support and be on steam.

@Zacharee1 yeah, I'm not arguing there. The opera one isn't a meta question either.

12:46 AM

Ah, okay

@Seth aha. Well that's our problem. We're basing off of a similar question that no one did anything with

I really don't have much time for games AU is time consuming enough.

@Zacharee1 well I can't fix everything ;)

heh

AU= Ask Ubuntu

12:48 AM

Yeah, I know

wasn't sure what you meant by "heh" it sounded like an American "huh" which is equivalent to a Canadian "eh"

@WinEunuuchs2Unix that's some...interesting pronunciation

heh is a different reaction.

heh == heh != huh

but I wouldn't know how to explain it.

12:49 AM

@Seth English isn't my best language...LOL

nor mine :D

Computers are so nice because everything is black and white in languages, it works or it crashes!

guys, this is very obviously Debian askubuntu.com/review/close/629157

well actually, it's just plain old GParted

@Zacharee1 Oh sure through the +3K link out to the 2K users :(

It's not like you can't see it

12:51 AM

I can't see it

It tells me I can't see it

well that's new

LOL oopsie it says: "You need at least 3k reputation to review close votes.
Zacharee1 reviewed this 11 secs ago: Close
"

I can actually see it blush

sigh

hehe

I'm new here give me a break !

hey, exactly 11k

coolio

12:54 AM

Yeah it'll be nice to hit 3K :)

@WinEunuuchs2Unix It'll be nice to hit 2k

insta grammar edits

@OwenHines You are a rising star young man... You'll be there soon.... 2 points at a time correcting spelling....hehe

@OwenHines whoa, you're zooming up

@Zacharee1 What did u expect me to be at?

@OwenHines idk

12:56 AM

@OwenHines As far as I know you have the highest rep out of all the Grade 9 students in the world!

aw hell yeah

that should probably go to twitter and not here

@Seth Thing is Hillary should be in Jail already

also true.

lol someone took Casey Neistat's face and overlaid it on Trump xD

@Seth It's just a circus...embarassing really.

12:58 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I'm guessing this has something to do with @Seth's deleted message

@Zacharee1 didn't know you could delete a message...>Can I delete all mine and start over again? LOL... .brb Laundry.

o_O

Panda's birthday today?

will there ever be time that i go home early like a normal human being ?

@Serg No

thanks . . .at least i know now

1:09 AM

@Serg What time is it?

7:09 pm, but at the rate i am going i'll be going home at 9

@Serg You are in my time zone (MST)... I get off work at 3:30pm.... but it's warehouse work.

@Zacharee1 nowadays i only do my 20 when nagged by you

@edwinksl You have to do 20 reviews a day?

There's a terrific storm brewing.

Rain warnings and everything

1:13 AM

@NathanOsman Haha you are in Canada, there are no storms like Nicole.

True, but that doesn't make them any more fun.

They're predicting 200mm.

@NathanOsman If you want to complain about the weather visit me in Edmonton :)

Yeah, no thanks :D

They do that 6 months a year hear, the other 6 months they complain about road construction that has to rushed into a six month season.

What is it now, -50° ?

:P

1:17 AM

Haha more like 5 and minus 5 overnight.

To our American friends, Nathan and I are talking in Canadian Code Celsious

3 more problems, then I scan that carp and go home. I won't be able to figure out matlab

Watch breaking bad for tips on methlab

hehe, wrong lab

lol... never saw that show myself... just sort of fit in there.

me neither. I don't watch tv

only youtube

1:20 AM

@Serg You know when I was a programmer I found a good nights sleep helped me figure out problems.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix it sure helps. but i don't have time to figure out this assignment

maybe future ones i will

Can you post a link?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix i can post screenshot, or text, but it relies on parts form book

*from

nvm I'm only basic don't touch the black wire and white wire at same time type of guy... I would be useless on your electrical engineering assignments.

sigh . . . required to use matlab . . .there's no class for matlab in our program . . . what the duck

Elder Geek

1:27 AM

G'night all

@WinEunuuchs2Unix well, thanks for offering help anyway, i do appreciate it

@ElderGeek sleep well :)

It was crowded today in chat

Elder Geek

@Serg Thanks. I'll try

Oh Hi Elder....didn't notice you sitting in the room.

Someone told me a fortnight ago Elder never came to chat.

I lurk sometimes too

Funny thing is I've chatted to Elder many time in comments where we bump up on the same Q&A. But never chatted in chat.

He seems like a nice guy and I like his writing style.

1:53 AM

Done

now i need to scan it and send to professor

for whatever reason he wants us to write everything on paper, scan it, and submit online

And he also doesn't take images/photos. Only PDF. And no photos in PDF. only scans

like WTF dude ?

2:12 AM

hmm, seems like we'll be getting some pretty bad storms up here in the next few days.

If you don't see me at all you know what happened.

@NathanOsman send some water down pls.

@Seth that you decided to slack off? :P

-.-

@KazWolfe There has always been speculation about future water wars between Canada and USA, but so far only minor battles.

@OwenHines You should have responded to that question: askubuntu.com/questions/836286/… It was an easy 25 points.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I wasnt looking :(

2:27 AM

@OwenHines You posted the question in the first place... I told you to respond with the answer...

Oh that one

Im brain dead

You are only making 2 points a time correcting english.

idk, I'm just kinda out of it

Well you're young.... Lots of future for you to become a King Maker :)

King Maker?

2:36 AM

I just earned a new privaledge I don't understand which could be like giving a gun to a second grader: "How do I propose or vote on tag synonyms?

Users with this privilege and a total answer score (total upvotes minus total downvotes) of 5 or more on the tag, can suggest tag synonyms. Users with a total answer score of 5 or more on the tag, can vote for tag synonyms. "

@Owen King Maker = picking Trump or Clinton for president.

oh right

@WinEunuuchs2Unix it's useless mostly

just ask for synonyms on meta

Syrian Man just died in German Police protective custody.... weird.

@KazWolfe You know I always ask here!

@WinEunuuchs2Unix you need to ask in meta for tag synonyms

I don't even understand the rules with the 5 this and 5 that stuff.... I don't really pay much attention to tags anymore after they got dissed by that guy 10 days ago.

2:39 AM

tag synonyms allow you to have one tag equal to another

like cat -> feline

I just tag the question with 16.04 or gnome if the OP has that in the body or in comments.

so to suggest cat as a synonym of feline, you need to have at least 5 points in the feline tag.

And then to vote, you also need five points.

But because most tag synonyms are obvious and logical OR are extremely debated/heated, it's much better to bring them up in meta.

note, that scientific term for cats is felis catus

so we'd need that tag too

@Serg woof

The homer simpson male defiinition would probably be different

2:45 AM

@KazWolfe meow on you,ha

I have 165 points in 16.04 tags I think... so you mean I can say 16.10 is 16.04???

@WinEunuuchs2Unix you can propose it

that makes no sense

and wait for four other users to approve it

which they won't because it's dumb

@Serg 16.04 are the only points I have cry

2:46 AM

Also, I'm tired going home late. College gets on my nerves already

Well I'm not going to propose anything... I'll come here and ask Kaz what to do.

Let me tell you.

POST ON META

Well I can post on Meta now, without any new powers.

Sorry to get on your nerves... Just don't see the relevance of these new powers.

these new powers

goddammit

i got on the wrong train

i hate it

3:01 AM

@Serg Where are you gonna end up

In Oz?

Down the rabbit hole?

I hate this 8 am classes and traffic and all the other crap

@OwenHines i don't (know but i better not get robbed

@Serg Why would you get robbed?

now i have to wait 20 minutes for next train

then change train to get to my station

@OwenHines because it's the US

meh, true

surprisingly train is coming

out of service

unducking believable

3:09 AM

just uber?

no money

no, just no

I'm freezing here and my friend wants me to help her with translation

dammit

can i not h@ve my own tasks in life

@Serg you've been working too hard. Treat your self to Chipolte or whatever that popular take out place in the states is called.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I'd rather have pho

hot and salty

I'm cold , hungry, and angry

4 mins

I'll still have to wait on another station too

probably gonna get sick too because of all this cold

just what i needed before exam on Monday

also conference on Saturday

train didn't come

next in 30 mins

3:29 AM

Took that today with my drone.

dat kubuntu rant

finally

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Nobody realistically uses the tag synonym power. If you want two tags synonimized, ask Meta for an opinion, and a mod will do it (eventually)

WUT.

65 wat

3:41 AM

ffmpeg just exhausted all physical memory.

It grabbed up 12 GB and then got killed after using all my swap.

finally

on the right train

i want my blanket nd shover and food rigjt meow

gimme phoooo

3:58 AM

Reversing a three-minute video at 2K resolution... so ffmpeg won't do it in-memory (there isn't enough). I am now exporting the entire video as a PNG image sequence. 20 GB so far...

^--- not fun

hello guys

IanC

good night/dawn/morning!

@NathanOsman, what program do you use to edit videos? was looking for a simple one for some triming. I heard about lightworks, but seems quite complex for a small task

Kdenlive.

I usually use iMovie on my Mac for George's videos though.

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword in title, link at end of body, pattern-matching website in body: Hair Loss Treatments Go Natural by gregorykobayashi on askubuntu.com

IanC

thanks! I once used Blender for editing video and found it good too, but I'd have to relearn it :p

I just wanted to cut a small video I did for testing the gopro I bought recently

found a second hand one for a more friendly price, want to film trips I do with my motorcycle and some surfing with it :)

4:48 AM

I haven't tried Blender for video editing. Might be worth a shot.

The one thing that is universally terrible is video stabilization.

IanC

there was a website with some cool tutorials, if I find it again I'll ping you the link
