That would also be a nice chat room name.

@ByteCommander So it would!

It would be a better name that "General Room"

Q: More interesting name for our main chat room?

Most sites use interesting and humorous chat room names related to their site topic, like /dev/chat (Unix &Linux) The DMZ (Security) Root Access (Super User) The 2nd Monitor (Code Review) The Nineteenth Byte (Programming Puzzles & Code Golf) The Bridge (Arqade) The Heap - Consultancy (Databas...

Although nobody really seems to care much :(

jokerdino

What about 'The Orange bar'?

would work ^

Sara

i need to use psiphon on ubuntu

because most of the services are unavialible in my country

how can i install it, can i use it from repository

like sudo apt-get install psiphone

Zanna

@terdon bamboo??

Stefano Palazzo

@Zanna I don't think that's what they want

terdon

@Zanna Non sequitur really. I just remembered that :)

Stefano Palazzo

12:13 PM

re the hostname

Zanna

lol @ByteCommander I would never come here if it was called Man Chat

+1 for @terdon new answer -1 for @ByteCommander old answer :P

Stefano Palazzo

@Zanna I think there's an error that involves the host not being resolved on a web server. If your host is named google.com you can't ping google.com anymore, that sort of thing

terdon

@Sara does it even work on Linux? Their website only shows Android and Windows.

Zanna

@Sara he meant, where did you run to?

jokerdino

@Sara I think he was referring to the punctuation, rather than an ignorance of the geography.

jokerdino

Capital is Tehran.

Awesome country, I would love to visit one day.

Sara

@jokerdino i was joking

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino I can't repeat what he said when he stumbled on the rep leagues, but... he was surprised

jokerdino

I demand you repeat what he said.

Lol. 'I could tell you but then I'd need to flag myself.

jokerdino

Plan is working well.

Zanna

jokerdino

@Sara Any more stories Sara?

Sara

12:39 PM

@jokerdino what kind of story do u like

action

jokerdino

@Zanna Do you teach geography too?

@Sara any kind that are fun to hear.

Sara

yes how can i install psiphon on ubuntu

that's the real story

terdon

@Sara Can't you see this page: askubuntu.com/a/637573/85695

> Install wine

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine
Install Required Windows DLLs using Wintricks:

Run Winetricks(from ubuntu dash)
Choose "Select the default wineprefix" and then press OK.
Choose "Install a Windows DLL or component" and then press OK.
Check "wininet" and "winhttp" and then press OK.
Run Psiphon3 and Use the service it provides:

Simply run Psipon3.exe
It will provide its service using an "HTTP proxy on localhost port 8080".
Use "FoxyProxy" extension on Firefox or "Proxy SwitchySharp" extension on chrome for accessing the service.

jokerdino

That was quite a story Sara.

Zanna

@jokerdino no... I lived with Iranians for a long time, for years, and I learned some geography because of love...

@jokerdino I am not sure which part I need to clarify, but... because of loving this hacker I wanted to learn everything about Iran... but I have forgotten it all but a few mountains and a few words... I haven't seen them for... nine years or so. But I still want to go there, because I still love Iran :)

A: More interesting name for our main chat room?

Following the trend of the various misspellings of Ubuntu, how about: Ubanter And, just in case the pun's not obvious: ban·ter (băn′tər) n. Good-humored, playful, or teasing conversation.

Zanna

@terdon +1

Byte Commander

2:03 PM

Hmm... I don't happen to like it. :-/

terdon

@ByteCommander That's what the downvote button is for :)

Byte Commander

that's why I used it...

ducking, running

terdon

Fair enough :)

I think Chatty Chupacabra is the best, personally.

jokerdino

We will have more people talking about pokemon in here once we change the name to Ubanter.

terdon

whoosh

Some kind of pokemon name or something?

Zanna

2:05 PM

ps... confession... although I was persuaded in 2004 that Linux was a very good idea, I didn't manage to start using it until... August 22nd, 2015

jokerdino

@terdon xkcd 178 because Ubanter.

Zanna

@jokerdino hmm maybe I'll have to unupvote

Byte Commander

I haven't even known what a Chupacabra is before.

Zanna

Me neither ^

terdon

@jokerdino Ah, yes, I love that one :)

Byte Commander

My favourite would be the Orange Room. Or Orange Bar. Or Progress Bar.

Seth

terdon

@ByteCommander It literally means "goat sucker". How can you beat that?

Byte Commander

erm... @Downgoat ^

terdon

Um. Not really any sexual connotation involved though. Or less so than the English version by several orders of magnitude.

Byte Commander

still weird.

terdon

2:08 PM

Yep.

> The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats.

jokerdino

@terdon we risk alienating all the goats now.

@terdon good job on keeping room PG :P

terdon

@Downgoat That is PG! There's nothing vulgar about the word suck. What else do you call it when you inhale sharply through your teeth or drink something with a straw?

Downgoat

@terdon well how do you inhale a goat :/

But, since you asked, first you freeze it, then crush it into teeny tiny pieces, then sneeze on it and then breathe. Of course.

Zanna

2:51 PM

@Arronical oh dear... I'm scared to look now

Arronical

@Zanna Don't worry, I was only referring to his screenshot.

Stefano Palazzo

It's great to get into this room and read your nonsense out of context <3

terdon

Of course, if you're reading it here, you're reading it in context. Which, admittedly, doesn't make it any less nonsense :)

Nathan Osman

3:23 PM

Hmm... these chat pages are not indexed as often as I originally thought.

Byte Commander

@Arronical Thanks for the fi :)

Arronical

@ByteCommander No worries! There might be another problem there, there are /dev/sd? files that do not correspond to real disks.

badp

3:40 PM

> sudo do-release-upgrade -d
Checking for a new Ubuntu release

I wonder if I shouldn't just change the xenials to yakketys in software sources and be done with it

Byte Commander

@Arronical Any example?

Arronical

3:55 PM

@ByteCommander I think the files are created when you mount an external disk I have /dev/sda-f on the system I'm looking at now. I see them with ls /dev/sd?

@ByteCommander something like for f in /dev/sd? ; do if [[ $f != /dev/sda ]] && (df -h | grep $f); then ... ; fi ; done could work.

Byte Commander

/dev/sd? would not match /dev/sda-f anyway.

But I can't get that output redirection to work!

Arronical

Ooh no, sorry I meant /dev/sda to /dev/sdf

Byte Commander

4:14 PM

Can anybody tell my why my script fails at the output redirection here?

A: Complicated mass shred command - help needed

This script should do what you want. Note that it must run as root! #!/bin/bash logpath="/home/ben/ProjectsInProgress/ShredLogs" for f in /dev/sd? ; do if test "$f" != "/dev/sda" ; then logfile="$logpath/$(hdparm -i "$f" | grep -oP "(?<=SerialNo=)\w+")" shred -fvz "$f" &> "$...

Zanna

Unreadable on mobile even if I had a chance

Byte Commander

@Arronical Feel free to use the stuff in my answer and write your own, I don't understand why it fails....

Zanna

@Arronical oh yeah, but now they commented it's not working

Arronical

@Zanna I'm a jinx!

@ByteCommander I'll give it a go, but you've really done the legwork. I wonder if shreds output is weird, it seem to work with an echo.

Zanna

@Arronical I probably screwed up somewhere :)

Anwar

4:33 PM

why do people leave questions without replying subsequent comments? askubuntu.com/questions/825321/…

terdon

@Anwar It's only been half an hour!

Give them a day or so. Remember that most people don't spend every waking moment on SE!

Byte Commander

@Arronical I've tested it with echoes as well and it worked. I really have no clue and I definitely don't want to test it with shred. If you can fix it, take it. I'm fine with that.

terdon

@ByteCommander why is your quoting so complex?

Anwar

OK. OP left just after typing the question. they should at least wait for 5 minutes. leaving time

terdon

Try this:

    logfile="$logpath"/"$(hdparm -i "$f" | grep -oP '(?<=SerialNo=)\w+')"

Arronical

4:37 PM

@ByteCommander I've tested redirecting shred on a file, it doesn't seem to complain.

terdon

Or something like that. I can't be sure without seeing it.

user136984

VTC this as too broad.

Byte Commander

@terdon If you can simply and/or fix it, feel free to take over.

@ParanoidPanda This is a dupe. We've had exactly that type of homework question by at least 5 people a few months ago both here and on U&L.

user136984

@ByteCommander: :D

user136984

I don't think they should really be asking these sorts of homework questions here. I mean, we shouldn't just have a list of questions in our database which people use to cheat.

Byte Commander

4:44 PM

Just because a question might be asked as homework should not make it off-topic if it is otherwise useful and valid.

Although most homework assignments are stupid, a tiny fraction of them is useful ;)

user136984

Yes, but if you have just lots of lots of exam questions which are asked in exams with the exact answers wanted for the exams, then that probably won't be generally beneficial for anyone not taking the exam.

terdon

@ParanoidPanda Why not? Maybe I have the same problem.

@ByteCommander What's the error?

user136984

If they would be otherwise useful then it is fine and could be asked by someone without the homework. But if we just have a long list of Qs and As which only appear in the exams and maybe are even specific to the exams, then I don't think we should really have those.

Byte Commander

@terdon see the OP's comment below my answer

user136984

Perhaps I should get the questions and answers for an exam which people will take soon and just publish them all here.

Byte Commander

4:48 PM

First it was about the redirection (file not found), and later it was something with "HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument"

user136984

I think they should at least be generalised because normally specific situations are given as examples in the exam which the person has to answer about, we should at least not give those.

Byte Commander

Everybody may decide on their own whether to answer or not, but even if a question clearly is about homework, I see nothing wrong in either giving a hint in the right direction if they havn't done anything yet or helping with a specific problem they faced while trying to solve it themselves.

Severus Tux

Hi all :D

hey Tux.

Anwar

4:53 PM

well... who inhaled a goat!!!? ->

Severus Tux

:)

Is it valid to mark "Ubuntu boot slow after installing another linux distro" as a duplicate of "Ubuntu is booting very slowly after dual boot with Kali" ?

Byte Commander

What is "planting" in this context? askubuntu.com/q/825342/367990 How can a computer or VM get "planted"? o.O

user136984

@SeverusTux: I would think so, though I would want to generalise the title of the Kali one.

terdon

@ByteCommander I get that error when I try to run it on something that isn't a dev file of an HDD. I'm guessing the OP has some crud matching /dev/sd?

user136984

@ByteCommander: When you put it in the earth of a plant pot. :P

Byte Commander

4:55 PM

Will it grow when I water it?

terdon

This works as expected for me:

#!/bin/bash
logpath="/home/terdon/foo"
for f in /dev/sd? ; do
    if [[ "$f" != "/dev/sdb" ]]; then
        logfile="$logpath/$(hdparm -i "$f" | grep -oP "(?<=SerialNo=)\w+")"
				echo $logfile
				#shred -fvz "$f" &> "$logfile"
    fi
done

(changed the a to b since I only have /dev/sda in this machine)

user136984

Hopefully, but it will work even better if you give it plant feed! ;D

Severus Tux

@ParanoidPanda But both have same ans, only diff is : one is new another is older one.

Anwar

I suspect a homework question askubuntu.com/q/825340/61218. but unclear

user136984

@SeverusTux: Whichever is better and more of a parent.

user136984

4:57 PM

The age doesn't matter, it's the better one.

Byte Commander

@terdon but that's the same as mine, isn't it?

user136984

@SeverusTux: I would mark the more specific one as a duplicate of the more general one.

terdon

@ByteCommander Yeah. Which is why I think the OP has some strangeness in /dev

I'm guessing there's a /dev/sdN file there which doesn't point to a hard drive.

Severus Tux

@ParanoidPanda okay, that becomes easier :P (Kali post is mine)

terdon

Not all /dev files are hard drives and running hdparm on one of them will result in an error, so the logfile will only be the directory.

Arronical

4:58 PM

@ByteCommander, I edited your answer to filter out the /dev/sdx file oddness, as writing my own answer with that one tiny difference would've felt wrong, hope you don't mind.

Severus Tux

The Q

Byte Commander

@Arronical I added a missing $ and removed the one liner. Let's see what happens.

Severus Tux

Are you sure the age does not matter ?

Arronical

@terdon I have /dev/sda to /dev/sdf on a machine with only /dev/sda and /dev/adb drives. The files seem to be created as the result of mounting external drives, should they not be there?

Severus Tux

It says "This question has been asked before and already has an answer"

Byte Commander

5:01 PM

I'd say usually you close the new one as dupe of the old one, unless the new one is written much better or is more general, IMHO.

Severus Tux

okay

Anwar

@SeverusTux I'm not sure. I would not vote as dupe if the other one is not Kali linux. But the question seems unreasonable to me

Arronical

@ByteCommander I keep missing pretty important characters in answers at the minute! Think it's a sign that I need to move away from the monitor? Fingers crossed it does what he needs.

user136984

@SeverusTux Yes, I asked a Meta question on this a while back and that is what the mods and community decided.

Severus Tux

@Anwar But both have same Answer : This(kali) vs THis(linux)

Arronical

5:06 PM

Goodnight all

user136984

If both have the same answer, but the questions are not the same then they should not be marked as duplicates only based on the answers.

Severus Tux

Good night :)

user136984

But I haven't seen the questions so I can't be a judge of them.

user136984

Only give general advice. :)

Severus Tux

@ParanoidPanda Links above, please have a look

Which is better xfce or lxde ? in terms of performance , speed and not style.

user136984

5:07 PM

@SeverusTux: LXDE.

Anwar

@SeverusTux In general, We don't see answers for duplicity.

Severus Tux

sure ? I am gonna install it on BSD

Byte Commander

LXDE is more lightweight, but ugly.

Severus Tux

@Anwar okay then

terdon

@Arronical No, they should. External drives are still drives.

Byte Commander

5:08 PM

XFCE is less lightweight and also less ugly.

terdon

@ByteCommander here, this one should work as expected:

#!/bin/bash
logpath="/home/terdon/foo"
lsblk -lp | grep -o '/dev/sd[b-z] ' | while read f; do
    logfile="$logpath/$(hdparm -i "$f" | grep -oP "(?<=SerialNo=)\w+")"
		echo $logfile
done

Severus Tux

What about MATE ? Is it better ?

terdon

By using lsblk, you know you're only getting block devices

And the grep removes i) sda and ii) sdXN, so no partitions

Byte Commander

Nice approach.

user136984

@SeverusTux: I'm not sure if those two questions have the same problems so I'm not sure if they should be closed as one another.

Byte Commander

5:11 PM

Please post it as your own answer @terdon

user136984

But perhaps you should ask someone else about their similarity, I am too hot to think about this now. :P

Severus Tux

I have Arch with gnome, I am thinking of dualbooting with freeBSD, any suggestions on DE ? as I said, I am looking for performance . It can me any DE I will try that

Oh.. man lxde is horribly ugly :/

terdon

@ByteCommander Nah, go for it. I don't have time now. Just add it to yours.

user136984

@SeverusTux: MATE is basically just GNOME2.

Severus Tux

Is this really LXDE ? (I see IE 6 :? and Adobe reader) :

Downgoat

5:16 PM

@terdon oh my... brb warning my brethren. Perhaps I should of chosen an animal that is less abused for my avatar

Sandro

Is it good idea to have Ubuntu on PC with out win

Severus Tux

5:32 PM

yes (if you don't want to play cool games). I feel it more cleaner :P

^ my personal opinion.

Byte Commander

@Sandro You're asking this in an Ubuntu chat room. What kind of answer would you expect? ;)

Severus Tux

and don't ask this q on SU :P

Sandro

Lol

Byte Commander

Maybe you should ask it on Philosophy to get a not biased answer :D

(joke, don't ask there)

terdon

@BenStumpf it might be easier if you joined us here in chat to sort it out.

Byte Commander

5:39 PM

Is that a superping or a normal ping? ^

terdon

Super

Give me some credit for knowing how this place works :P

Severus Tux

Is there a normal one for a mod ?

Byte Commander

@terdon Sure. I just wondered because it looked like a normal one to me.

I remember somewhere it looked different than a normal ping.

Maybe that was in my notification inbox...

terdon

@SeverusTux Yes. Most of our pings are normal, we just have a tool to make "super pings" which will notify even users who haven't been in the room recently

Byte Commander

And @terdon on 16.04, there is a -p option to lsblk
