@AnwarShah That's why they named 15.10 after me ;-D

Anwar Shah

I see. I should have know this already!

Byte Commander

edwinksl

Serg

Because it is meowning :D

Byte Commander

@edwinksl It's always an advantage if you speak foreign languages.

Serg

I like Byte's answer

I found a bug in Stack Exchange... now what?

It's an usability bug: you can't open the reputation thingy when you don't have an active internet connection

edwinksl

post in meta SE?

Byte Commander

Post about it on Meta Stack Exchange and tag it as bug

That's not a bug though, I think.

Rather a feature request.

@Serg Looks like somebody has been faster than you askubuntu.com/a/808520/367990

Zanna

does tilde expansion work in .desktop files?

Rinzwind

no

Zanna

I thought not...

I'm looking at that answer ^^^

Serg

3:26 PM

@ByteCommander OK , I am in no rush . . . . .I don't have neither qemu nor virtmanager, so cannot answer it right now anyway

Byte Commander

Q: Is it possible to run 127.0.0.1/login.aspx at the web browser, if we run only one mod_mono_server4 and apache2 server instance on Ubuntu 16.04?

Recently, I set up /etc/apache2/apache2.conf on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 so that an webuser can run 127.0.0.1/course/login.aspx with any browser as long as we run one mod_mono_server4 server and 1 or more apache2 service instance. For the purpose of making mod_mono handle several applications, it...

@Zanna answer for lks-indicator updated

Zanna

3:44 PM

whoop!!

beautiful

thank you :D

Serg

you're always welcome

Zanna

there is actually no need to chmod it and no need for python-appindicator

after cloning the script is already executable

and since you changed the script no missing module issue

I just rm'ed the old directory and followed the instructions

Serg

OK, I could remove that . . .

chmod is for my own protection - I don't always push files that are executable to git

protection against my own stupidity

Zanna

lol sure as you like... if it was my post I would say something like 'check the script is executable and if not...' but that would make it longer so

alias lksi='lks-indicator >/dev/null 2>&1 &'

^_^

Serg

( ^_^)b nice idea

Zanna

3:56 PM

oh better disown it too because it doesn't like ctrl+c

Serg

I'd use nohup

edwinksl

le kolo serg indicator earning repz

Zanna

what's the advantage? considering I don't ever want to read the error messages and might forget to delete the nohup out file...

Afshin Hamedi

Hi

Zanna

deserves a lot of rep for all the work that went into it

Hi Afshin :)

Serg

4:00 PM

@Zanna nohup is like disown . It disconnects the process from shell and lets it run on its own , so if shell exists - process will still run. Difference is that nohup works for any shell, while disown is bashism

Afshin Hamedi

What is the command for copying/syncing millions of files between number of server as performance and speed? Thanks

Zanna

oh I see... gah I must learn many things

Serg

@AfshinHamedi look into rsync command

Rinzwind

@AfshinHamedi rsync -avW -e ssh /path/from/dir/ /path/goto/dir/

can be used to copy to and from another server too

Afshin Hamedi

Let me try it, I tried with scp but as huge number of files it stops copying

Does rsync has an option and ability to sync files in multiple destinations?

Because everyone I'm doing manually and getting the files name and then copy none existing files in different destinations

Every time : )

well I'm going to make raw vegan millionaire shortbread tart...

Serg

sounds tasty . . . except for the word "millionaire" , I don't like eating people

Zanna

haha it wouldn't be vegan with humans in it. it's basically a sweet crumble base with date caramel on top of that and chocolate praline topping

with date ...hmm

Lol , World of Warships advertisement :" Playing world of warships will let you avenge the Titanic" (shows ship shooting at an iceberg )

Also, I just made a tongue twister

shows ship shooting shots and sheep

Afshin Hamedi

@Rinzwind same, no luck. As I pointed there are huge number of files and rsync also prompting Argument list too long

Byte Commander

@Serg Cool :D I only tried World of Tanks yet though.

Serg

@ByteCommander i haven't tried neither of them :)

aaand i just broke my headphones . . . . dangit

Byte Commander

You should. WoT is cool!

After a discussion with OP in chat, the problem is solved. it was a combo of sudo apt-get -f install and accepting EULA with Tab. should be closed now askubuntu.com/questions/808498/…

Byte Commander

@AnwarShah Why don't you just undelete your answer that sums it up?

Rinzwind

@AfshinHamedi lots of -small- files? then I would tar them first
