12:00 AM
@rancho But, actually there is an OS called Menuet OS and it is 1.44M and can fit on a floppy. Its written entirely in Assembly, and supports up to full HD monitors, can play 3D games, can play MP3s, has an Internet browser, supports x64 CPUs and up to 128GB of RAM.
 
That's really great, I mean unbeleivable on the part of a 1.44 M OS
 
@rancho - Seriously, try it in a VM! menuetos.net/download.htm
 
OK I am trying
 
@rancho - Is it booted?
 
I am downloading the CD image
 
12:07 AM
@rancho It should only take 2 seconds to download 1.44 megabytes...
 
@AndroidDev yes, now i have blue and black wolf in my pic
i used to have one of Ubuntu misspelled words avatars
 
Yeah but something like concatenation is there @AndroidDev
 
@rancho - Well, it downloaded for me in less than a second.
 
I have downladed both, now going to concatenate
Well iso created now going to try in VM
 
@rancho and?
 
12:20 AM
hullo
 
No modifying VBOX settings
 
anything to test ?
 
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD Wait, are you edity?
 
yesyes!
@AndroidDev yes it is
 
how's the colors ?
 
12:23 AM
@AndroidDev unfornunately it stays at black scrren saying long mode unavailable
@AndroidDev same result on second try, booting with mboot.iso :(
 
@rancho Download from this link and make sure to assign it to the floppy image in VBox
 
@Serg I never understood why people like that color scheme... hard on my eyes. I also believe in some functionality in colors. I usually have red reserved for something critical, e.g. prod server is red, dev server is green, etc.
 
does someone have any ideas of what OS i should emulate ?
 
Old versions of Windows are always fun.
 
@AndroidDev trying it
 
12:31 AM
@NathanOsman I tried XP and ME
I used a legit certificate for the activation though.
 
@rancho Have a look:
 
@Chan-HoSuh red eventually will be gone, I like my prompt simple, but i do like contrast with background and main text. I'm actually playing with xterm right now on a laptop with Ubuntu Kylin. I don't have much installed there, and I don't like recent changes to gnome-terminal, so Xterm . . . and byobu
 
@NathanOsman FreeDOS does that
VBox changed the logo!
 
@AndroidDev well VBOX says to give .iso, .cdr or .dmg
 
I would love to have some old windows to play around with, Win 98 or 95.
 
12:36 AM
@rancho No, no. You have to add a floppy controller.
 
Menuet OS has .img and VBOX fails to load it
OK how @AndroidDev
 
@AndroidDev mmm, maybe?
 
@rancho Click the button that I have my mouse on in the screenshot, and add a floppy controller.
 
ok doing
 
@Seth Eh?
@rancho - And then add the floppy image you downloaded to that controller.
 
12:43 AM
Well this time too @AndroidDev
 
@rancho - Use these settings:
@rancho - And it might complain about a memory mismatch when it starts. Just press 1 so it ignores it.
 
Thanks a lot @AndroidDev :)
 
@AndroidDev follow the reply. You asked me to undelete a question or something.
 
1:03 AM
@Seth But what does mmm mean?
@NathanOsman Yeah the MB 2015 has similar problems
@NathanOsman - See above vid
 
1:37 AM
Yes, but I have a Mac Mini, not a Macbook.
 
1:53 AM
TIL the hollywood package actually exists and does what you think it does
 
So I edited my linkedin to make askubuntu a volunteering experience. Yay, or ney ? Good idea or stupid idea ?
 
aye
 
good idea
 
mkay, so I'll keep it
 
2:14 AM
@AndroidDev I'm not sure how to explain it. Kind of the sound you make when you are unsure, hesitating.
Although it can also mean something tasted/felt good.
 
2:35 AM
hi
 
@TheXed Hi! :)
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 whats up?
 
@TheXed I just congrat thio kolo for getting 1,000,000 subs. LOL :D

Then I came in the chat.
 
2:38 AM

Oh,,
 
@Seth check Discord
 
2:53 AM
you two are chatting in Discord :O
 
@Zacharee1 you had the honor of appearing in my audit

oh it's just a joke.
@jokerdino @JourneymanGeek btw, congrats on your Singaporean swimmer beating 3 of the best swimmers in the world for gold. That was cool!
 
@Seth why am i not pinged? i am singaporean too :D

6:02 AM
@SmokeDetector you forgot to remove the one before the last. it is a bug?
 
@AnwarShah Sometimes the reports are not removed for some reason.
 
like ?
@Seth thank you for suggesting .bash_logout.
though It didn't help on what I intended to use it
I wanted to disable the USB modem before logout or shutdown. Because it triggers notorious "Target Shutdown Reached" bug
 
6:17 AM
@Rinzwind In my test, if two partitions are of same name, the last one mounts with an added _ after it's name.
It will be same for removable device i think
 
6:49 AM
@edwinksl Big news indeed for Singapore. It is notable that countries who are new to Olympic medals are much more sportsmanlike than the usual culprits who are assembling many...
The highlight was the NZ women: youtube.com/watch?v=you_dAKmpkY
 
The uploader has not made this video available in your country.
lol

Q: ubuntu SQUASHFS errors

ƎpᴉʇʎXDI have a puzzling problem. When I finish installations, Ubuntu seems to spit out some kinda bad block or errors that cover my screen and keeps going until I reset the computer. But that seems to Freeze my computer, so no booting until battery dies. It is quite the annoying, there is no SUPER BL...

I need halp
 
Not with Lionel Richie lyrics?
 
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD It's help not halp.

@andrew.46 I feel like a super moderator! :)
 
Vote for @HenryWHHackv2.0 in the next elections
 
7:40 AM
@HenryWHHackv2.0 But I think you actually do have powers here?
 
@andrew.46 No.
 
Is there a Cap for rep?
Is it ever possible to get 9 Million Rep??
 
200 per day excluding various bits an pieces?
OIC you men forever?
mean
 
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD I have 1000,000,000 reps! :)
 
Eyeroll..
 
7:42 AM
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD I have looked at the pattern of high rep users of Ask Ubuntu and there is a pattern
Most hit Ask Ubuntu hard with high reps for several months
 
And then slide into semi retirement with rep dribbling in from older, great answers
There are some notable exceptions
 
Bedtime.
Night all.
See you tomorrow.
 
Night
 
goodnight :)

@Serg regarding your message from 3 days ago, wish you could have come to the pub :)

I will soon get 4 gold badges and 1 sliver badge sometime soon when ever I get it. :)
Breaking News!: We have confirmmed that Henry WH Hack v2.0 and ƎpᴉʇʎXD are the two exact same people yes ƎpᴉʇʎXD was a prank by all the time by HWHHv2.0. :D
 
........
@HenryWHHackv2.0 Stop trying to get me banned.
 
heatwave in UK apparently... this calls for tiny shorts
 
7:56 AM
@Zanna English weather: Australians laugh at their summer heat while Canadians laugh at their summer cold :)
 
Breaking news: We have disconfirmed that Edity is not HWHHv2.0 yes, because I don't have his login. SO don't merge me with HWHHv2.0 he is lying.
 
winter cold even
 
hmm, methinks I should change my name...
 
the tiny shorts are lucky to get one outing per year @andrew.46 ... what really kills me is that folks here complain that it's too hot when the mercury climbs over 25. It is NEVER too hot for me here.
"Is there no sun in this cursed country!?!"
 
@Zanna Heatwave is 40+ here :)
 
yea, and 40+ is 'too hot'. I lived in the south of China for a few months one summer and it was cooking hot the whole time... but still not really too hot for me. I'm in the wrong place :)
 
@Zanna @AnwarShah this edit shouldn't have been approved imo askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/603811
 
Of course you get used to any temperature. We can have a few 40 degree days and then you go to the movies a lot, swim in the local pool, dress lightly, drink lots of cold water etc
 
why @edwinksl ?
 
like i said in my review, the edit removed info
unless proven irrelevant, removing it is harmful imo
 
8:05 AM
@Zanna I have not been to England but many TV detective shows seem to confirm that there is no sun over there :)
 
oh you're right... I think it should have been improved rather than rejected... lucho probably didn't see that info, I think the OP edited at the same time, because that info was not there when the post first appeared @edwinksl
 
it looks to me the info has always been there, so luchonacho probably missed it. it is either improve edit or reject, both of which are fine depending on whether you want to edit it. approve is definitely wrong though.
 
it wasn't, I opened the post, that was not there, then the bar appeared "and edit has been made to this post" I clicked it and the info came up. If you edit very fast, it goes into one revision
I agree with you I should have kept the information there
 
@edwinksl You type much faster than me for the 'default theme' question :)
 
@Zanna ah i see, dem race condition
@andrew.46 i knew it was ambiance, but i was struggling to figure out how i knew that myself
looks like OP forgot to log in before editing his/her own question o.o askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/603820
 
8:22 AM
I skipped that; what should we do?
 
i was going to leave a comment at the question and ask OP to log in >.<
 
@edwinksl I approved only the codification. don't know about the later addition
 
@AnwarShah ah okay, i saw the addition, so i was confused why you would approve. anyway, no big deal, just wondering what happened
 
well. but the edit shows additional things!! how that happened!?
 
It got me as well... voodoo
 
8:28 AM
mysterious
 
May be he edited twice and before
 
and after first suggestion, we hit approve and that approved the proposer's second edit in queue
@andrew.46 congratulations on 10k!
 
Should I post this as an answer? askubuntu.com/questions/811733/…
No I don't want to lose reps.
btw it's too short.
 
@AnwarShah Thanks :)
 
8:39 AM
@HenryWHHackv2.0 well your answer is covered by serg
 
Damit serg!
 
@edwinksl :'(
 
surely there's a better dup
@Serg got me as well, I was adding the systemd version
toooo slow today... I'm going to go to the tate modern instead
since my AU luck is not with me
 
common enough questions will be dup for AU, i think
This shows you're second on this week's rep league
 
8:49 AM
Can't be that bad then haha
 
quick, how do i mark auto with dpkg?
 
@AnwarShah it should mount with the UUID and those are unique :P
 
of course. I was talking only about the name part.
 
Sorry, guys. I was actually going to let it slip and go to bed, but competitive spirit got me
Anyway, that thingy got accepted, i'm yawning, and i love you all . . .good night !
 
So the 'Edit Tags Inline' option after 10k simply allows you to edit the tags without bumping to the front of the 'Active' queue and without bumping previous editors of a question?
 
9:04 AM
yes
 
Ooops lookslike it does bump the previous editor ... but nice option :)
 
love you too @Serg :D and the sudo free option deserves many upvotes
 
sudo free?
 
nmcli is a nice tool introduced in 16.04
 
I have to check this thing out ^_^ it's new to me
@edwinksl lol yeah I can't remember where I found that out but I have saved a lot of keystrokes since then >_<
 
9:13 AM
@edwinksl So close and yet so far.
 
@Zanna Anything that saves me from typing period is awesome :D
 
:) :)
right time to go get some art
later folks :) xxx
 
nmcli-connect, nmcli-edit are life-saver in some cases
 
See you @Zanna
 
see you later
 
9:22 AM
I need to take some time off to learn more about Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
 
9:40 AM
@Seth I am not Singaporean (I only did my schooling there) but thanks :)
 
@jokerdino dat pun xD
 
I missed the pun. What was it? o.O
@AnwarShah normal user (like that smokedetector) can only edit or delete the message within 2 minutes. If spam post is removed after 2 min, it won't auto remove it.
 
Oh. Didn't even see his name but thanks you too.
 
@jokerdino Your from a place that starts with I. ;)
 
9:47 AM
my what?
 
That was close.
 
@edwinksl incredible to see him beat Phelps. That's special.
 
yeah
sg has gone nuts over this
 
OMG, he's actually from my school.
 
indeed he is

@jokerdino thanks. understood :)

Q: Reviewing tool should be less flexible by enforcing the Skip option rigourously

luchonachoWhen you are reviewing posts, you are faced with three options: Skip, I'm done (after some change), Nothing to review. Ideally, when you make a change like edit, flag, comment, or vote, the "I'm done" option becomes available, and you press it, eliminating the question from the review list. Howe...

@SmokeDetector I don't think mods need permission to suspend anyone if you are doing something that you should not be doing or is malicious in anyway the mods will block you don't matter what! :)

Well, I think I temporarily dislocated my arm (again) in sword fighting last night... That was painful, but I'm fine again now! :D

Well, actually it still doesn't feel that great, but I'm sure it will be fine, it's happened before with the other arm...

@ParanoidPanda Someone gave me an old laptop to play with for a while so I'm going to install Arch like you :)
 
@Zanna i thought you were going to tate modern
 
Been & now I'm back
 
@Zanna seems reasonable to me
 
approved it :S
 
the burden of > 5k rep
 
1:56 PM
If I get into trouble later about that you will be hearing from me haha
 
:S
you should make your comment on the meta post about edits into an answer. you basically said what i wanted to say
 
ok I will make an answer
oh @terdon beat me to it :)
I'm too slow today
 
isn't he on vacation? ;D
 
@Zanna slowpoke :)
@edwinksl Just got back.
 
^_^ how was it?
I'm glad you beat me to it, since you did a much better job than I was in the middle of doing
 
2:03 PM
@Zanna I doubt that. Your meta posts tend to be very good.
And it was great, thanks :)
 
thanks! blush
 
@Zanna yeah, that's bad.
 
ok, I'm sorry, I screwed up
 
uh oh
 
s'ok @edwinksl it's my responsibilidade
 
2:07 PM
i have no idea what that word means lol
 
it's Portuguese for responsibilities.
might probably have to purge that tag somehow. Let me add it to my bucketlist.
 
Yeah, looks like a pretty classic meta-tag.

@NathanOsman how do you survive?!
 
haha I didn't see what you removed @jokerdino After all that trouble you went to writing me a nice meta answer last week...
 
2:40 PM
Zanna Thanks.
 
i can't remember... but can you retract an edit?
 
@edwinksl Just reject my last edit now!
 
i already hit the cap, so i can't
 
@karel Thank You for rejecting! :)
Note: My last edit suggestion was an accident because karel posted her/his edit the same time as my edit. :(
 
Can I clear only older FF cache? say, I have cache of 7 days and I want to retain cache of last 4 days
 
2:56 PM
@HenryWHHackv2.0 Actually I thought it was a useful edit and the only reasons I rejected it was because you obliterated the tags, and I was in a hurry to add a new tag to the question. I owe you 2 points. The next time I see a bad edit from you, I'm going to accept it and whatever is wrong I'll fix it myself so that you'll get your 2 points back.
 
@karel My true edit was the improved formatting part but you posted yours at the same time which was the exact same edit kind of.
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 The OP had also removed one sentence and you caught that, so I owe you one for catching it.
 
The tag and the other part was also an accident.
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 Also you got an edit rejection that you didn't deserve. I owe you another one because of that.
 
I asked to be rejected.
Case Closed!
Seth/Anyone who knows: Is it possible to retract edits?
 
3:14 PM
I don't think so, no.
 
@Zanna phew
 
haha

Why when I upgraded to 16.04 my 2nd hard drive mount shows no files?
 
4:16 PM
argh I just spent ages finding a perfect dupe in CV queue and it was an audit
 
lol
 
should just use the review formula:
first post : no action needed
late answer: not an answer
low quality: recommend deletion
suggested edit: approve (unless tag wiki in which case skip)
reopen votes: reopen
close votes: skip
 
close votes are pretty obvious though, no need to skip imo :P
 
yes but I want my joke to be as painful to read as possible, and the CV queue is most in need of effort
 
;)
looks like our cv and fp queues are back to low 100s, that's good
