5:00 AM
I just used another wifi XD
seriously?
 
your IP is definitely 110.X
 
 
110.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [04/Oct/2016:22:00:30 -0700] "GET /assets/documents/cat.jpg HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/201/ask-ubuntu-general-room" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 10_0_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.1.50 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14A456 Safari/602.1"
 
@KazWolfe staop
 
@Edity didn't download nothing - it's the same system i used a week ago or so
 
5:02 AM
that is definitely your user agent lol
 
If the IPs are correct, that's pretty amazing!
 
@Terrance the IPs are correct.
Edity's just lying because he can.
 
:)
 
Brb vpn time
 
shall i get your VPN endpoint IP too?
 
5:03 AM
Up to you
 
it doesn't matter tho, i already have your regular IP...
like i said, webservers are awesome
and because SE chat helpfully oneboxes images...
even @NathanOsman can do it!
(btdubs, i'm the other 2001:)
 
No, there's no AAAA record, so you're an IPv4 address.
 
aww.
GET IPV6 M80
 
And whoever sent the "'\x00GET'" request, nice try.
 
HAHAHA
 
5:05 AM
Now to figure out which one is Edity...
Geo-IP to the rescue!
 
110.X, nathan.
 
VPN? Enabled
 
okay then let's fix that
 
Kay
 
gotcha
 
5:06 AM
Tracker block enabled
 
new IP 161.XXX
 
I found edity.
 
 
@Edity mind if I paste it here?
 
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi - this did the trick...now everything is fine
 
5:07 AM
Naw
 
101.127.95.163
 
he's on a VPN, nathan.
 
>:)
It's in Singapore apparently.
 
You got someone else.
 
I did?
 
5:08 AM
ring:353b530ca5cfeca70db0cd3431c52d6977f8c561
Add me, nathan
 
Where's that? What is that?
 
Train to guess me naw
 
Ring.
oh, nevermind
 
No clue what that is.
 
can i contact you over a secure channel?
 
5:08 AM
i switched hosts :)
 
@KazWolfe uTox?
 
let me get it
 
Let me disable vpn
 
gah utox
 
I can see that working if you have access to the webserver. Aint that special!
 
5:11 AM
@NathanOsman just get Ring. it's like skype but awesome
 
I also have Skype.
What's wrong with Skype?
 
microsoft.

@NathanOsman @KazWolfe you guys are trying to figure out Edity's IP ?
 
we have it
or i do
 
5:13 AM
:( they gonna do bad stuff
Don't stress pls
 
one of is a mod, and the other is kaz.
why would we attack anything
 
I don't feel safe anymore
 
lol, don't bully Edity, guys. You'll create second Paranoid Panda that way
Try to get my IP, guys
 
Hey, I'm not doing anything.
 
Lets see how accurate your methods are
 
5:16 AM
@Serg 67.X?
 
@KazWolfe not even close
 
Lolz
@KazWolfe PROMISE ME YOU WONT DO SOMETHING BAD WITH MY IP. IT IS A NEW MODEM, AND I JUST BROUGHT IT.
 
@Edity i don't care about your modem enough to do anything lol
 
@Edity Dude, calm down. Nobody here is going to do anything while I am around.
I'll make sure nothing happens.
 
I just don't feel safe
 
5:19 AM
your IP address is given to every website you connect to
and in this case, you just happened to connect to my server.
 
Ah, I know
@KazWolfe try to detect my ip now (I know you already have it)
 
110.X
 
Not even close
YES!!!
 
we both know it is.
 
@KazWolfe /facepalm
iOS settings say something else.
 
5:26 AM
that's your local IP
i can't get that
see what your public IP is
 
It's blocked
 
screw you, sk planet
 
then try this
 
Blocked again
 
5:28 AM
really
 
Screw you sk planet
 
google "what's my ip" and find one that works
 
Google already tells you that
 
I think what tracks my iP is blocked from sk planet
 
just search "What's my ip" and google will tell you
w
 
5:29 AM
Let's stop tracking ip's now, okay?
i don't feel safe.
 
Offered 300 point bounty on my question, and already have recovered from it. Heck yeah !!!
@KazWolfe nope, i think i can nuke spam with command-line gold. I just nuked that one
As soon as I hit enter - it poofed
 
coincidence
 
3rd time already ? Not likely
 
i know other people flagged it
it had -9 votes.
that doesn't happen by one user.
after you hit the flag button, the post will refresh.
we deal with spam super-fast here so i think that's why it seemed instant
 
Previous spam posts didn't have as many downgoats
 
5:34 AM
i still really don't think command line gold did it
if i were a mod, i'd pull up the timeline, but i don't have that power so...
 
dammit, that one PHP tag
 
It never fails.
 
ask on MSE. I'm 99.99999% sure gold does not give you spam-kill powers.

Q: Can we have a feature to Invite to askubuntu?

Chris ParlerI'm not sure how anyone else feels about it, but I do want to know: Do we want, and can we have a feature for officially sending invites to join the askubuntu community?

 
5:53 AM
gah. stupid IPv6 tunnel triggers bot checks
 
6:06 AM
I can't wait for the 2018 winter games
 
yay, egg-cepted and upgoated
and i posted already 2 votes behind
 
Quite right too @Serg your answer is the proper one :)
 
@Zanna haven't used nano in quite a while, I kept wanting to use vim keybindings :D
 
Yawnnn
 
I think I need a script just to git clone all my repositories on new machine
 
6:14 AM
@Serg yeah considering neither of us actually uses nano I'd say we both did pretty well out of that Q
 
Yeah, we did quite good actually. hi-five
 
hi-five ^_^
 
6:34 AM
@Anwar thanks for the edit :)
 
I use nano and I use cut and paste, paste
 
@Anwar got an avatar! :D
 
@KazWolfe heya! how's going?
 
Is it normal that I do not have a .bash_profile file?
I only got a .bashrc file
 
yeah, that's okay
 
6:37 AM
@OliverSchöning yes. in Ubuntu you don't have .bash_profile by default
 
┌─[✗]─[23:38:00]─[kazwolfe@BlackHawk]
└──> ~ $ ls .bash*
.bash_history  .bash_logout  .bashrc
 
@OliverSchöning there is a test in bashrc for bash_profile
 
@KazWolfe custom prompt? or .bash_it?
 
@Anwar custom prompt
adapted off of something from a long-dead site that i lost
so i just copy it from each computer over to my new ones :D
sorta symbolic, the handing off of the torch.
 
.bash_it has some theme similar to it.
 
6:40 AM
I used to tweak my prompt in the beginning a lot, now i just stick with my usual two lines and that's it
or even simple $
 
@Anwar, @Rinzwind so... should I create a bash_profile?
I need to set some java and android sdk variables.
Or should I set them directly in bashrc?
 
that's another way of saying I became a Guru @Serg :D
 
@Serg yeah, i use this for any persistent instances, and just plain on any temp instances, and just $ when i'm on something that's embedded and has no bash :(
 
No Bash? O_o
 
@Anwar hardly a Guru, but yes, I focus on other things now
 
6:42 AM
Even my toaster has Bash.
 
@OliverSchöning no. but them in bashrc
 
my old router didn't have bash
 
@NathanOsman android ain't got no bash
 
@Serg you are hardcore \o/
 
it's mksh there
 
6:43 AM
@Serg BusyBox will help you :D
 
@Rinzwind but them? You mean put them right?
 
bash --posix is what i use to post on U&L sometimes
 
@OliverSchöning yes. he meant put them
 
Not trying to be nitpicky, just dont wanna fuck up my laptop haha
thx!

bash-4.3$
The prompt is simply bash version and $
 
6:44 AM
Why would you need to know the Bash version?
 
It's the POSIX prompt :) Ask the devs why they chose it
 
POSIX is what is called dumb.
You can tell because they included vi but not nano in the spec.
 
VI is on 90% of the Unix-like systems
From Solaris, to BSD, to Macs, to HP-UX
 
I'm too tired for another editor war.
 
i'm not saying vi is bad.
 
6:48 AM
@OliverSchöning how would you do that? errors in bash are removed by logging in and removing them :P
 
i'm saying if POSIX wanted to create a clean spec for a simple basic editor, they should have chosen nano because it's plain.
 
Real programmers use cat and input redirection.
 
And then vi/vim would be used for the people who need the power it gives
and emacs can be used by Mint noobs.
 
It's no editor war. We're discussing POSIX standard. And for a standard it makes sense to use vim
 
@NathanOsman IMPOSSIBLE!
 
6:49 AM
standards are not always about easy stuff
 
when i think about "file editor", i want something that lets me open a file and edit it. Nothing special or fancy.
 
@KazWolfe emacs ? by n00bs ?
dude, show me at least one !!!
 
and people with at least 18 fingers.
 
@KazWolfe so vi :=)
 
@Rinzwind or nano
because i can open and just type.
average EMACS user keyboard
 
7:07 AM
Hmmm
What am I misunderstanding here? The variable is set right?
 
apparently yeah :S
 
@OliverSchöning you might want to ask this on the main site or on android SE site. I doubt there's people here at the moment who know how to deal with android sdk
 
Ah ok sorry :)
 
7:24 AM
@OliverSchöning no.
1 is using sudo. the other aint.
and I doubt those variables are the same when using sudo :-P
guessing though >:-D
do a sudo echo $ANDROID_HOME >:-D
 
@Rinzwind nice catch...
 
@Zanna 2 more and he is out >:-D
 
hahaha
 
@Serg ಠ_ಠ
(I'm kidding, I wasn't here at the time.)

7:41 AM
hmm noob of the day sighted
 
2 AM
why . . .
 
Goodnight all.
 
goodnight! :)
 
8:04 AM
sigh . . . why am i in capable of tracking time and sleeping on time ?
 
not enough practice?
 
@Serg only the best don't need much sleep such as Madonna, Keith Richards or Charles Dickens (source BBC) or you ;)
 
:)
 
> It is a big advantage for visionary or creative people to be part of this so-called sleep elite.
 
@Takkat that's great, but then i've no energy for working on my visionary things, so i need balance. Also, I don't think I'm at that level of Madonna or Dicken's yet, but I'm trying :)
 
8:16 AM
You're lucky if you need not so much sleep. Sleeping can be such a waist of time ;)
 
It sure can be. Sometimes i think i could achieve so much more if i didn't need to repay my sleep debt over and over
 
<-- wishes he could stay in bed much longer, but this on workdays only
@Serg Dreaming of solutions is the only advantage of a good night sleep.
 
Shm . . . somebody decided to take up user's top panel completely . . .
sorry, that's not related to our conversation . . .
 
@Takkat happens to me :D
 
Hello,i have a short question .it seems simple but i can not understand it, echo has a -e option when i use it i should put "\n" or "\b" in single quotes or double quotes why i should do this
 
8:30 AM
@Sinoosh it means double quotes, single quotes means literal value. Double quotes allows treating \n or \b as special characters
Also, always read man page
from bash man page:
If the -e option
              is given,  interpretation  of  the  following  backslash-escaped
              characters  is  enabled.
echo is not very portable, because different shell has it's own echo. So better get used to using printf
Why did coreutils devs didn't implement progress bar ? How in the heck are we supposed to know ? Ask the devs directly !
VTC as opinion based please.
 
@Serg thank you so much,but the output of echo -e "i am \nsinoosh?" =echo -e 'i am \nsinoosh?'double quotes do not take special means of back slash
 
@Sinoosh are you using bash ?
bash-4.3$ echo -e "hello\nworld"
hello
world
 
@Serg Yes
 
well, that's interesting , you probably have a bug worth reporting
 
:)))
i ask it in askubuntu?
 
8:43 AM
@Sinoosh question,are you using non-english keyboard ?
 
@Sinoosh what do you get for type echo?
 
your backslash looks weird
 
@Serg yes i use english keyboard
 
nope, looks the same, so that's chat font . . .
 
And the quotes are irrelevant here. Both single and double are the same thing. The difference is only when things are expanded by the shell, here they're expanded by echo.
$ echo -e 'i am \nsinoosh?'
i am
sinoosh?
$ echo -e "i am \nsinoosh?"
i am
sinoosh?
If that doesn't work for you, @Sinoosh, you're not using bash's echo.
 
8:45 AM
@terdon very odd, because it's different for me
bash-4.3$ echo 'one\ntwo'
one\ntwo
bash-4.3$
 
@Serg Yeah, try with the -e
 
ah, dammit
 
:)
 
@terdon it is the same as mine
 
k, that's it, i need sleep
 
8:47 AM
What do you get for type echo ?
I mean, run this:
type echo
 
$ echo -e 'i am \nsinoosh?'
i am
sinoosh?
$ echo -e "i am \nsinoosh?"
i am
sinoosh?
 
And tell me the output
 
bash-4.3$ type echo
echo is a shell builtin
 
@Sinoosh Oh. So it works
I thought you said it didn't
 
@terdon in double quotes back slash has its special meaning
 
8:48 AM
@Sinoosh In single quotes as well.
It just has to be quoted in some way to protect it from the shell. If you don't quote it, bash will try to expand it before passing it to echo.
 
@terdon so single quotes affect only variables ? they don't affect escape sequences ?
 
@Serg Kinda. The point here is that the \n needs to be passed to echo as is. If you don't quote it, the shell expands it and only passes the n.
Single or double makes no difference.
$ set -x
$ echo -e i am \nsinoosh?
+ echo -e i am 'nsinoosh?'
i am nsinoosh?

$ echo -e "i am \nsinoosh?"
+ echo -e 'i am \nsinoosh?'
i am
sinoosh?

$ echo -e 'i am \nsinoosh?'
+ echo -e 'i am \nsinoosh?'
i am
sinoosh?
 
@terdon ah the word splitting again
 
Look at the lines starting with + (I have activated set -x). Those are what is actually passed to echo. As you can see, when not quoted, the \n becomes n.
 
@terdon please see this output $ var=sinoosh
$ echo "i am \$var"
i am $var
$ echo "i am $var"
i am sinoosh
 
8:51 AM
@Sinoosh Yes. That's normal.
 
i really be confuse about -e in echo
 
omg, TIL echo -e! saves keystrokes over cat >somefile<<EOF when I want to write some file with newlines...
 
@Sinoosh that \$ tells shell to treat $ as literal , not signify variable
 
@Sinoosh The -e allows echo to interpret escape sequences like \t, \n, \b, \f, \r:
$ echo 'tab:\t:'
tab:\t:

$ echo -e 'tab:\t:'
tab:	:
 
@Zanna why were you using cat >somefile <<EOF ?
 
8:53 AM
So, without the -e, the \t is taken literally as two characters: a slash and a t
With the -e, that is instead expanded to a tab
 
@Serg to write something in a file with more than one line
 
Now, the quotes are something separate. If you don't quote them, bash will try to interpret the `` before passing it to echo:
$ echo tab:\t:
tab:t:
The ` character is used to escape things. That's why this prints a $`:
$ echo \$
$
 
@terdon oh it means with -e these two character "\t" have special meaning
for echo
 
@Sinoosh basically , bash has many details to which you have to pay attention. Read man printf for escape sequences, and this : mywiki.wooledge.org/WordSplitting
 
So, when you have \t or \n unquoted, bash tries to interpret it before passing it to echo. However, bash itself has no knowledge of the special characters like tab and newline, so what it sees is the character 'n' (with no special meaning) and that's what's printed.
@Sinoosh Exactly
 
8:57 AM
@Zanna Here's another alternative for you
bash-4.3$ tee HELLO_WORLD.txt
one
one
two
two
three
three
bash-4.3$ cat HELLO_WORLD.txt
one
two
three
 
@Zanna printf is also very useful
 
(exited with Ctrl+D)
 
@terdon Yess yes yes i got it thank you so much!
 
which is same as writing to file with cat a lone
bash-4.3$ cat > HELLO_WORLD.txt
one
two three
four
bash-4.3$ cat HELLO_WORLD.txt
one
two three
four
duck
ok, bye
 
lol
 
9:01 AM
You are great . Thank you for your patience
 
thank you from me too :D @Serg @terdon
 
You're all welcome :)
 
$echo i am \n sinoosh
i am n sinoosh
$echo "i am \n sinoosh"
i am \n sinoosh
it is better to say about double quotes that back slash has its special meaning if there are a special character for bash after it
 
the quotes are to protect the argument for echo from bash - bash will strip the backslash, so echo will never see the special char you are trying to pass to it
 
@zanna but in echo " i am \n sinoosh"
back slash is a special character and it passed to echo
 
9:12 AM
oh oh a user got removed :=)
 
@Sinoosh you didn't give -e so \n is not special to echo
 
@Serg that was normal Unix >:-)
 
@jokerdino why did you edit this ? askubuntu.com/posts/641944/revisions
The question is general enough, and methods for destroying in VM equally apply to real installation
 
@Zanna in Kurdish language your name means that "wise man":)
 
If you're concerned about @Takkat's answer, it's easily editable
 
9:18 AM
@Sinoosh haha that's nice! could it mean wise woman?
 
@Zanna, but it is a men's name
:)
i have a friend his name is Zanna
 
@Sinoosh ah ok. I guess that makes me a foolish woman >_<
@Sinoosh :)
 
@Zanna :D
 
It's nice to know that anyway @Sinoosh thank you for telling me :) :)
 
@Zanna you are a wise woman :) your welcome
 
9:24 AM
You'll just have to settle for zany.
 
@terdon hmm I'll take it...
@Sinoosh <3
@Serg how do I destroy Ubuntu for real is a sad question
 
@Serg virtual and real are not the same... destroying a virtual drive involves deleting a file sitting on a different host file system. There is no point in destroying the content of a virtual drive.
^^@jokerdino
The question was for a VM in the first place and was adapted to general only yesterday presumably because a new late answer was added.
 
it was merged @Takkat
 
@Zanna the answer?
 
the question
I guess the answers came from the Q merged to that one by Seth
 
9:39 AM
that may be but the Q is rather old.
 
yes, and new Q was merged to it
I'm not arguing with you @Takkat I agree with what you said
 
I see... well then it is more complicated... It would need an edit to make it as for a) bare metal and b) virtual.
 
but why should you have to edit? you answered the original question appropriately @Takkat
so it's unfair
 
It a (little) mess... sighs
 
@Serg the question mentioned virtual PC and it has to be retained. Editing it to remove that part is doing injustice to other answers which answered the question in the original context.
 
9:48 AM
@Takkat the question was merged at my request
 
There may be methods that equally apply to normal as well as VM installs but there could also be answers (like that of Takkat's) which purely apply only to VM, which were valid before the question was edited.
 
@jokerdino can we extend it to include both virtual and real installations ?
It's better to have one canonical question
i'll be back in a few hours
c ya
 
I just saw a iPad Pro on a really super market today....
TOO BIG
Ooh, yay I only casted 17 downvotes!
HOW AM I TOP 11% THIS YEAR?!?
 
cast cast cast
 
I don't know why, but i'm top 11% this year!
 
9:57 AM
well done :)
 
Hi,
which chat-room of askubuntu should i consult for questions about nvidia driver questions?
thanks for your help
 
@zanna this must be a glitch
 
@Serg The question as it is right now looks fine to me. I don't see a need to make it a canonical question. It's not a much sought after question, is it?
