you need to rate 10/10

@Zanna moar snake problem for you askubuntu.com/questions/815645/python-3-5-2-command-not-found

Kaz Wolfe

sorry edity, we make up the rules as we go along.

feel free to also make up rules. except for declaring yourself king of the chat

Zanna

I saw that but now it has some junk under it... ugh is that NAA?

Kaz Wolfe

06:12

@Zanna When in doubt, it's always NAA or unclear

Zanna

I'm happy if it's NAA, sad if I have to downvote

Kaz Wolfe

ofc. downvotes cost you rep

Zanna

I saw a sad python question yesterday that I wanted to mention to you @edwinksl but I was out and about and didn't have a chance

edwinksl

ha i probably saw it too

Zanna

yeah I bet

@ParanoidPanda Oh, so lets just put it into simple words: henry apparently showed off and how he has much more edits than me. so I banished him from remove commands.

@KazWolfe we can see the history you realize that right?

Q: Glitch in the chatroom

So there is a bug in the chatroom. Here's the glitch in simple ways. I have currently 184 Rep. and the chatroom oddly thinks that i have 200 Rep. Does any users or mod want to deny this?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

...and the meta bot...

Applaud again!

06:39

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD don't say "stupid" - it's a perfectly great question to ask... but it had been answered already.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

:P

Come get your 200 added rep here

Nathan Osman

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD please don't add "[bounty]" to the question title.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

sorry

Nathan Osman

There is already an indicator next to the question when it has a bounty:

Serg

i have a working script . . .

Is there any tool to modify icc profile manually? without a calibrator?

Serg

More important question is, anybody knows icc in this chat ?

edwinksl

something color calibration?

Anwar

color profile. know very little about that. hope that's not a stupid question

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Anwar

Oh no

Anwar

what?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

The nostalga of ICC cricket world cup 2015 is creeping on me

@Anwar i assumed you are talking about icc as in Intel C Compiler . . .

Anwar

ha ha. ICC seems to be a loved acronym

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD ye, you go do that buddy . . .

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Serg

keep up the good job

edwinksl

06:52

what's up with the downvotes askubuntu.com/questions/815670/how-to-pronounce-in-linux

Nathan Osman

Probably people thinking it's not Ubuntu-specific.

edwinksl

rinzy ate a downvote too :/

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Ouch

Anwar

I think someone didn't like the question and answers

Zanna

@NathanOsman that's not a good reason to downvote surely?

Nathan Osman

06:57

@Zanna Not if it's the only reason, no.

@Zanna Thanks for the "hash" comment. Totally forgot about that.

edwinksl

so pound is an american/candian thing and hash is british?

Serg

Yup

And there is more words for it

Nathan Osman

Yes, indeed.

I've also heard it referred to as the "number" sign.

Serg

Yup, because it is used in front of numbers

Nathan Osman

If you want to get creative, I suppose you could call "#" the "tic-tac-toe" character, as well :D

edwinksl

07:01

oh hashtag, how can we forget that

Serg

Gosh, if only I could figure put how to use that hotkey in fcitx, I'd test my script.

edwinksl

Not to be confused with the Chinese character 井, the sharp sign (♯), the viewdata square (⌗), the numero sign (№), the equal and parallel to symbol (⋕) or the game Tic-tac-toe's grid.

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl Yeah, but nobody realizes they stole it from Perl.

@edwinksl Ah, yes, the sharp sign. Forgot about that one too.

Serg

Numerous is used in Russia and post Soviet countries a lot.

edwinksl

"equal and parallel to symbol" wow

Nathan Osman

07:03

That's good to know.

Serg

@NathanOsman perl stole it from bash, which stole from Bourne she'll, which stole from Bourne's evil mind

Nathan Osman

@Serg Bash has hashes?

edwinksl

Hex
Common usage in Singapore and Malaysia, as spoken by many recorded telephone directory-assistance menus: "Please enter your phone number followed by the hex key". The term "hex" is discouraged in Singapore in favour of "hash". In Singapore, a hash is also called "hex" in apartment addresses, where it precedes the floor number.[26][27]

confusing af though, i agree with not using hex

Nathan Osman

And no, Perl predates Bash by 2 years.

Serg

@NathanOsman well, almost. It has associative arrays. But o meant hashtag

Nathan Osman

07:05

(Mad Wikipedia skillz :P)

When I say "millennials stole it from Perl" this is what I mean. They go around using "hashtag" but have no idea why the character has that name. Welcome to Perl, where prefixing a variable with "#" caused the interpreter to treat it as a hash.

edwinksl

do they even know the origin of the save icon

Nathan Osman

Hold down shift and push number keys at random. Chances are you just typed a Perl special variable.

@edwinksl Please don't tell me I'm that old.

edwinksl

:P

Nathan Osman

This generation doesn't know what they missed. Some of the older Macs could make a barfing noise when they ejected floppy disks. There's just no modern equivalent.

Serg

Somebody tried to reinvent Apple Lisa . . . poorly

Nathan Osman

07:10

O_O

Serg

^ my thoughts exactly

Nathan Osman

That is the worst thing I have ever seen.

What is the thing on the right?

A speaker?

Anyway, bedtime for me. Goodnight all.

Serg

Apparently so . This is just concept art, but still . . .

Anwar

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD have you tried installing on another partition/disk with the same USB?

Zanna

My flatmate just told me Linux is 25 years old today

is this true or is he messing with my head?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

@Anwar yes

Zanna

everything Apple makes is a desk sculpture at best

Anwar

Linux borned in 1991 afaik

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD same disk or different disk?

Serg

@Zanna well,not today . . . Google says it was released in september '91

On related note , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Linux

Initial release 0.01 (17 September 1991; 24 years ago)(from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel)

Zanna

ah here: As Torvalds wrote in his book Just for Fun,[12] he eventually ended up writing an operating system kernel. On 25 August 1991, he (at age 21) announced this system in a Usenet posting to the newsgroup "comp.os.minix.":[13]

really? Huh. How?

Q: I accidentally deleted /etc/perl directory

I accidentally deleted /etc/perl directory and now when I install or uninstall anything from the Ubuntu Software Center or Terminal I get the error The installation or removal of a software package failed. But the package sometimes does install or uninstall. When I click on details I get install...

apt package-management software-center perl debconf

HOW do people keep doing stuff like that?

WHY?

Serg

@Pilot6 very well , thanks. I've already found out that edit history didn't show the post wasn't clear originally before edit history caught up to it

@Rinzwind I think that's people who come from windows. They think " Oh, I didn't have perl or python on windows , so let's remove these packages" . And then they realize Ubuntu relies on them

Rinzwind

Canonical should make a system where sudo is also locked :P
You get a /home/ and that's it.

Serg

@Rinzwind No, it's not Canonical's issue. The world needs smarter users. Besides, without sudo, they wont be able install apps and stuffs

Rinzwind

@Serg sure you can. we setup USC to be allowed to install.

Serg

09:49

OK . . . What if the same thing happens as when 16.04 got released ? USC couldn't install nothing, only dpkg could . . . with sudo . . .

Gosh, I could really use some massage right now . . . can't write a python script for that . . . not yet at least , lol

Pilot6

10:04

@Serg Weird that you do not see it. I see the original post.

Serg

@Pilot6 according to another user who closed the post, it was confusing in original version. The earliest in the edit history looks perfectly alright to me, which is what prompted me to ask folks why they closed it.

Pilot6

I see exactly that original post that was unclear in edit history.

how to quick input current date & time with a quick word?

I am using fcitx,I wish when I want to input "time", it output current time "2016-08-03 11:15".How to setup?

You need to click the triangle at the right side of 1 to expand it.

Serg

yeah, i know. I thought this one was perfectly fine. fcitx is input method, and OP basically asks for auto-completion/auto-conversion . . . maybe not worded well enough, but at least i thought it was pretty clear

Meh, anyway, it's reopened already

Pilot6

It is maybe clear for you but not to me. This happens to me too, when it is clear to me but the quetion is getting close votes ;-)

Serg

yeah, probably that's the case :)

Off-topic question , do you use Unity as your desktop @Pilot6 ?

Pilot6

10:14

@Serg yes, I use unity, why?

Serg

Lately , I'm working on indicators for Unity. But I lack ideas sometimes. So I'm looking for more ideas from other users , suggestions, requests

So, feel free to request or suggest something :)

Pilot6

I know close to nothing about GUI development.

It is easier for me to write a driver than to add an item to a menu ;-)

That's the reson I do not like to customize desktop, because I can't fix anything if there is a problem

Serg

No ,no : what I mean is I'm looking for indicator ideas, rather than code review

well, in any case . . .If you ever want some small app for your top panel, feel free to ask :)

Pilot6

I use some indicators, but I do not have any ideas what else can be needed.

OK, if I need anything, I know who can do it :-)

What about Google Drive indicator, like dropbox and yandex?

I do not use Google Drive in GUI, but it may be useful.

Hmm , that exists already :/ Well, at least for Google Drive and dropbox. I don't know about yandex though

actually . . . let me look up the Google Drive one first

There is a project at Russian forums for Yandex. It works well.

@Serg say you wanted the system to render Arial in place of all Ubuntu fonts.

It's easy with manual editing.

but a gui would be fine

@Rinzwind You mean just indicator to see if the process is running or not ?

that should be easy

Serg

because it's easier than clicking close button :p

terdon

@AndreaLazzarotto Why not?

Andrea Lazzarotto

@terdon total lack of research, for example?

terdon

If it's a good question and well written and the only thing wrong with it is that its a dupe, why not upvote it?

2

Dupes are not easy to find. The SE search is notoriously bad.

Serg

11:14

I personally use google . . .

Andrea Lazzarotto

I found the dupe just by copy-pasting the error message in AU, nevertheless of course you can also Google it and AU shows up immediately

anyway, that is not a good question either, in fact it's just an error message not so well formatted in the body of the question

Serg

\ (^_^)/ 1.6 million reached , WOO

terdon

@AndreaLazzarotto OK. But that is often not the case. Dunno, seeing as it's often hard to find dupes, I don't see any reason to penalize new users for posting them.

Also, having dupes is good for the site since they act as signposts, directing users to the right post.

Andrea Lazzarotto

@terdon, I would call the act of "not upvoting" to be penalizing

I wouldn't*

terdon

True, I was thinking of downvotes.

Rinzwind

11:16

@Serg I repeat my last comment: n00b >:-D

seems I have more then 10 times that >:-D

Andrea Lazzarotto

@Serg congrats! I have 2m but only for one question, which makes it less of an achievement

Anwar

6.3m. don't know how!

Serg

17 m for you, but you've been on the site 5 years and have shiz tonz of rep @Rinzwind so yeah , ain't fair comparison . . . But at least i am catching up with Jacob

Andrea Lazzarotto

@Anwar you can easily check your top upvoted answers and see how many people saw those questions

Rinzwind

@Serg @JacobVlijm is a slacker :=)

Serg

11:18

Wouldn't say - he produced a lot of scripts

Andrea Lazzarotto

I am amazed by how some of you have so much reputation

it looks like you are here 24/7 and you give a lot of contributions to this site

Rinzwind

@AndreaLazzarotto nope.

Andrea Lazzarotto

(that was meant to be a compliment, just to be clear)

Serg

My top answer askubuntu.com/a/636692/295286 56 upvotes. Literally the answer is "Use TTY"

Rinzwind

it is very easy: answer questions and keep the rep flow in at around 200. next day you pick up some extra upvotes from y-day. Keep that up and the 200 a day keeps flowing in.

Serg

11:20

It's got two downvotes for whatever reason though

Rinzwind

@Serg tsk :D

Andrea Lazzarotto

@Rinzwind that only works for questions that get good attention

I mostly answer questions of people who never come back to accept, or if they do they do not even upvote so my accepted answers stay at 0-2 votes maximum

this is the only exception :D askubuntu.com/questions/25961/…

Serg

@AndreaLazzarotto do more command line and text processing questions. Those get lots of votes and OPs generally return and accept

Rinzwind

@AndreaLazzarotto the easiest answers get the most upvotes >:)

@Rinzwind I wrote a long answer yesterday, but haven't got any. Though the accepted one is wrong and got many :

Serg

Andrea Lazzarotto

a question that shows up every other day, yet I don't collect upvotes... so sad :P

@eradicus ?

eradicus

@AndreaLazzarotto, that's fine. The most important thing is, you're helping them. ;)

Anwar

@Serg may be because you said to use ctrl-alt-f2 :)

Serg

@AndreaLazzarotto yeah, I kind of have the same thing going - I prefer answering scripting questions, those that require basically making new app for OP , but it is a hit or miss. Can get upvotes or maybe not. Besides there is competition too

Rinzwind

people using windows should be banned from askubuntu :-)

that would fix all the mounting errors too

Serg

11:26

@Anwar lol , probably. Some people are too lazy to move fingers one key over

Takkat

@Serg that is why ;)

eradicus

How's everyone doing?

terdon

@Serg out of curiosity, why this:

Andrea Lazzarotto

@Rinzwind LOL but then the legitimate question "how do I install Ubuntu?" would get less attention

terdon

> To get back to the GUI, first type exit to log out of the virtual console, then press CtrlAltF7 to switch back to the GUI.

Why exit before switching back to the GUI?

Serg

11:29

@terdon why keep it open ?

Andrea Lazzarotto

one possible reason is that you don't want to forget a logged in session then walk away from your computer... Ubuntu will lock the screen but not the TTY

Serg

^ that

I tend to log out of tty's , unless i forget

terdon

@Serg You might want to go back to it. And yes, ^^ is a good point, it just sounds as though you're implying that you need to exit before switching back to the GUI

Andrea Lazzarotto

"always log out from TTY" == "never accept candy from strangers"
