@Takkat :) I agreed with you because it was reasonable.

@Zanna :)

10:03 AM

@Takkat haha smh

@Zanna i found some questions that problem, but the answer are not working for me...

@ManuelBellini OK, then ask a question and tell us what you tried and how it failed.

I'm happy and conserned at the same time.

I'm happy that I got top 11% this year, but concerned that I haven't commited for a month and I'm still top 11%

oh well, popped on meta.

lets just wait for the bot to put it on

I have an dell precision 5510 with a on board intel GPU and a nvidia M1000M.
If i install the nvidia-370 driver (recommended to me) and then reboot i experience a black screen. Then i tried to do this http://askubuntu.com/a/760935/543758
Then i experience a login loop and tried this http://askubuntu.com/a/223634/543758
But have always the login loop problem...
I get a message that says failed to start kernel modules....
and in /etc/modules is no nvidia or somthing similar...

@Edity It's not a glitch. The vast majority of users only ever post a single question. Anyone who is even a little active will be in the top 20%

O_O

if i do: dkms status

nobody saw anything

you can VTC your own questions?!?

@ManuelBellini OK, but put all that in your question. That's where the most people will see it and somebody might be able to answer.

@Edity yes

is that normal? i posted a question a bit time ago about a screenshot bug (askubuntu.com/q/801378/543758) and now im thinking that things are correlating each other.

O_o

10:15 AM

@Edity see here: stackexchange.com/leagues/31/year/askubuntu

ah

@ManuelBellini btw did the answer to that question solve your problem?

You've gained 196 rep this year and that's more than the vast majority of users.

O-o

@Zanna No, so i don't marked the answer as solution (askubuntu.com/q/801378/543758)...

10:26 AM

ah I see

10:40 AM

i posted my question here http://askubuntu.com/q/833328/543758,
thanks for the help!

Tomorrow (extra): walking for 24hrs, looking for shops ^_^

I would be tired as crap

Anyways early sleep, zZZ

are shells two type 1-CLI 2-GUI?

why in User processes we have shell and GUI?

@Sinoosh Yes

> In computing, a shell is a user interface for access to an operating system's services. In general, operating system shells use either a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), depending on a computer's role and particular operation. It is named a shell because it is a layer around the operating system kernel.

Shell (computing)

In computing, a shell is a user interface for access to an operating system's services. In general, operating system shells use either a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), depending on a computer's role and particular operation. It is named a shell because it is a layer around the operating system kernel. The design of a shell is guided by cognitive ergonomics and the goal is to achieve the best workflow possible for the intended tasks; the design can be constricted by the available computing power (for example, of the CPU) or the available amount of graphics memory...

jokerdino has stopped a feed from being posted into this room

o.O

@terdon why in my picture we have shell and GUI

Because both are user processes.

The GUI isn't a shell, it's the GUI. You also have a graphical shell, but that's part of the GUI.

@Sinoosh more examples here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space

@edwinksl@terdon thanks

12:54 PM

This is completely about Chromium askubuntu.com/questions/825903/…

why is it protected?

this isn't a dupe, at least of the accepted answer askubuntu.com/questions/829053/…

the second answer is correct, while the first answer no longer works

and the first answer is so long, the second answer isn't getting attention

1:17 PM

@Zacharee1 It has 3 deleted non-answers from 1-rep users.

ah

@Zacharee1 Why isn't it a dupe? It's the same issue AFAIK

Anwar

The question of same issue i think. no?

@terdon like I said, the accepted answer is obsolete. It doesn't work for GPT systems, which most things are now.

The second answer is much easier and it works, but the first answer is so huge, no one is going to see the second one

We need to either make a new Q&A or edit the first answer to point to the second one at the top or something

Well then, we should upvote the second one

Anwar

1:19 PM

If a user is looking for answer, he/she will certainly find it.

@terdon I already did.

But how is it obsolete?

But it's not going to get above the first one

> Boot into Windows and power down the system by shutting it down completely. You may then boot back into Ubuntu and the partition will mount in read-write mode automatically when you open it in Nautilus. Note that the "Shut Down" option may not be the one displayed in your start menu by default. You may need to click the button next to it to see further options.

@terdon For the most part, that doesn't work. Fast Boot in Windows 8 broke it unless you use a full shutdown and even then it still doesn't work.

All the Ubuntu-side stuff it suggests doesn't work for Windows 8 and above

1:21 PM

@Zacharee1 You mean the ones suggested in the section about windows 8 and above?

@terdon that's not the Ubuntu sided stuff

and like I said, full shutdown still doesn't work

@Zacharee1 It doesn't? Not even if you "click the button next to it to see further options."?

@terdon No!

Trust me on this. I followed that answer and none of it worked for me

It took me a really long time to find the second answer's solution

OK. You should probably take it to meta then. I know next to nothing about Windows.

You do NOT want to do this. Doing so will result in the filesystem being corrupted when you resume your hibernated windows session. — psusi Jan 4 '15 at 4:24

Either way, though, the question is a dupe. If what you're saying is correct, we just need to fix the answers of the dupe.

@terdon most of the time, there is no hibernated session. Even data partitions are messed up when Windows mounts them

@terdon Alright. I can accept that

But it felt really condescending the way you were questioning everything I said and the way you worded your messages

1:26 PM

I do see various (recent) comments claiming it worked for them though. We need to be sure before changing anything and since I haven't used Windows since the late 90ies, I am not the right person to ask.

Here's the thing. It works perfectly fine for Windows 7 and MBR/legacy systems

Windows 8 and MBR usually works with the manual Ubuntu stuff

Windows 8 and GPT is where problems come up

@Zacharee1 Oh? That was certainly not my intention. I was just asking you why it's obsolete so I could understand. I wasn't assuming you were wrong. I don't know diddle about WIndows.

Sometimes, full shutdown will work. Usually it doesn't.

I wasn't questioning what you said, I was asking for an explanation.

I am meeting 404 page not found errors very often on askubuntu in the last days. I mean, much more often than I'd expect, more often than it used to be, more often than on other stackexchange sites. For instance, I just requested this unexisting page clicking on a Hot Network Question link. Is i...
