@RobotHumans my kitchen is always on fire.

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe exactly!

Kaz Wolfe

i want that whenever my printer runs out of ink

IanC

well, enough reading about git here, going to get ready for work

I think I'm getting a feel for it

soon I'll pull my little indicator on github and try to keep working from there

Thomas Ward

8:04 PM

don't pull with SSH unless your network permits it. :P

(I have to use HTTPS for all my git stuff at work, and through a proxy >.>)

Kaz Wolfe

@ThomasWard wat. always pull with ssh, unless you actually can't

if you can't use ssh, yell at your admin

IanC

you mean if my network blocks SSH connections?

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe a lot of work networks prohibit external SSH destinations

Kaz Wolfe

@ThomasWard that is stupid.

Thomas Ward

not really

Kaz Wolfe

8:06 PM

i want to ssh into my home server from work

IanC

I was going to use HTTPS anyways

David Cole - Grammar Police

@KazWolfe I want that when Optimum does service on my street, and because my modem refuses to behave when it doesn't receive service, it heats up to 55 celsius, OH WAIT.. pretty much the same thing

RobotHumans

if i wanted a reverse tunnel with no code, ssh cli or script would be key

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe if there's a business critical reason, it can usually get permitted. otherwise, it's an information concern, especially since you can use SSH to tunnel and bypass other security controls.

IanC

I've read you can do SSH through HTTPS for github though

RobotHumans

@KazWolfe I had a network admin threaten me with a shock collar wired around the server room. thankfully, the server room was right next to the bathroom... so it would have been inhumane

David Cole - Grammar Police

XD

Kaz Wolfe

@RobotHumans turn off the collars :D

RobotHumans

8:09 PM

odd as it sounds, that did actually happen

IanC

well, gotta start getting ready! I'll keep you posted when I do pull some code on Github, you will be my guinea-pigs (???)

that's a weird translation for "cobaia" lol

David Cole - Grammar Police

Yeah but your computer has cooling @KazWolfe my router doesn't XD

Kaz Wolfe

8:10 PM

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice that IS my router.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Oh crap what are you using to see that?

Kaz Wolfe

it just has a really nice admin panel

Kaz Wolfe

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice Asus router.

8:14 PM

asus routers easy to flash? or do you actually have to try?

Kaz Wolfe

@RobotHumans this one wasn't.

T-Mo had a promotion where you got a free router from them.

David Cole - Grammar Police

:O

Lucky

RobotHumans

then points to you.

Kaz Wolfe

This is said promotional router, which required me to screw with the CFE.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Huh? @HenryWHHackv2.0

Oh true @RobotHumans

HOLY DICKS

RobotHumans

8:18 PM

yeah, asus routers can be both slick and pricy

David Cole - Grammar Police

I hate when sites can't just TELL YOU HOW MUCH THE PRODUCT IS

RobotHumans

i wasn't trying to guess the lineman number honestly. they didn't tell me my phone number b/c i wasn't getting telephone service with the dsl... and i spent my time on hold guessing at lineman numbers. oddly, i guessed right just about the time i came off of eternal hold.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Like: I'd respect you more if you just told me your product cost an arm and a leg instead of hiding it inside of 4 different links!

@KazWolfe "You're in flip flops, cargo shorts, and have a 72 oz coffee... and it's december. You must be in IT"

don't change for people, opposite sexes especially.

@RobotHumans cargo shorts are only acceptable for camera crews and IT.

David Cole - Grammar Police

LMAOO @RobotHumans

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I do anyways Kaz, I'm self conscious

Kaz Wolfe

seriously though. i just wear jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. Good enough. Hair is cut whenever it interferes.

No problems, nobody seems to really care

David Cole - Grammar Police

I wear shorts all year round, and designer shirts, spend 45 minutes every morning doing my hair, and yes, makeup then I go to school, and then work

Kaz Wolfe

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice that seems way excessive.

love my job, hate my pay

David Cole - Grammar Police

RobotHumans

@KazWolfe loves/hates job and loves/hates pay are usually inversely proportional. as long as it's direct and not logarithmic against you, you're on the winning side

Kaz Wolfe

and whenever i get bored, i just plug my coffee machine into the UPS

aioobe

I'm desperate. I tried to reinstall mongodb from scratch. Now /etc/mongodb.conf has gone missing, and whatever I do I can't get it regenerated. I've tried to apt-get remove and apt-get install. File is still not there. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure mongodb-server. Nothing happens. :-(

Kaz Wolfe

i also get my own office, so the perks are nice

(although it is the server room, but meh)

yay climate control for the whole office (and campus)!

Serg

@aioobe have you asked a question on the site ? Asking in chat is not always a good idea, but more of a gamble of having someone who knows about package management present

RobotHumans

schadenfreude@oubliette:~$ apt-file search mongodb.conf
...
mongodb-server: /etc/init/mongodb.conf
mongodb-server: /etc/mongodb.conf

@aioobe maybe check in etc/init to see if it's just a permissions broken link?

alternately, just rip it out of the deb. it's just a specifically formatted archive anyway. extract it and you can get at any file it provides.

aioobe

@RobotHumans, thanks a lot. I'll give it a try.

RobotHumans

9:03 PM

@aioobe the latter option is probably better. and np.

aioobe

@RobotHumans, I'm surprised that apt-get remove / apt-get install didn't regenerate the files. This is something I've noticed before too. apt-get remove doesn't actually remove everything associated with the package, like config files. Is this the case or have I dreamt it?

RobotHumans

@aioobe It is the case, and it is by design. Think about how pissed you would be if you spent hours and hours on a config file, only to have it blown out when you fiddled with packages. I'm sure there's a way to tell the packaging system to reset config files, but I don't remember what it is.

aioobe

I tried "sudo apt-get remove mongodb-org mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-server mongodb-org-shell mongodb-org-tools" now for instance, and I still have an etc/init/mongodb.conf on my system.

True.

Ok.

I bet that since I removed the files (in an attempt to try to force them to be regenerated) the system considers them "modified" and doesn't do anything about the non-existent config files. Although that's the opposite of what I want right now.

RobotHumans

That may be the case.

I don't really know. I'm giving you the pieces I do know that sort of explain what is going on.

aioobe

apt-get remove --purge did the trick. Thanks for confirming that config files are not actually removed by a plain apt-get remove.

RobotHumans

9:09 PM

There you go.

On non-existent == modified, it's probably so things that depend on starting the daemon dynamically and loading a config in a non-standard location don't break by oopsing into a new config file.

aioobe

ah. That sounds like a reasonable explanation.

chaskes

Am I missing something or does this accepted answer have nothing to do with the question? askubuntu.com/questions/825895/…

RobotHumans

@chaskes probably not

chaskes

Meaning I'm not prolly missing something? Even the comments make no sense.

Answer is prolly that the .desktop for lynx has a non-obvious name.

RobotHumans

you are probably not missing something

chaskes

9:21 PM

I'm so tired of intervening in crazy situations. I'm not sure I want to get involved right now.

RobotHumans

i can't get involved in that one. the 3 rep user has the nvidia optimus tag in their profile, and when i see it, my vision goes red. so i don't touch anything involving it.

chaskes

So you understand what I'm saying. I'm so tired of the arguments and pushback.

Kaz Wolfe

why does my company have a classification policy

this is dumb

RobotHumans

@chaskes yes. i don't touch optimus questions or users b/c it feels like "So, what had happened was, I checked the internet and saw this stuff was super buggy, but now I bought some of it. So, I want you to fix it. It's your problem, not mine." I have no problem with users that sound more like "Hey, I knew this was buggy, and it mostly works now, but with these duct tape fixes and that bit of bailing wire, I'm not sure what to strap down next"

edwinksl

@chaskes ^

I think that's what LD James is talking about

chaskes

9:26 PM

@RobotHumans Or this is the laptop I already had, I can't afford another one and now I'm trying to make linux work well enough with the graphics card

RobotHumans

@chaskes that is also ok.

Serg

The answer probably gives OP what they want - that "thingy" doesn't show up in the dash anymore. OP also has no clue that those items in the dash are not necessarily launchers. I'd say the answer is proper

chaskes

@edwinksl Thanks, but I understood what he was saying but I don't see how it solves the problem.

@Serg That's his list of installed apps. It's not going away that way.

edwinksl

@chaskes presumably OP found that the question mark icon went away after clearing usage data, lol

chaskes

@edwinksl I'm betting he just didn't put ly in the search box this time.

edwinksl

9:30 PM

i don't know how to test it though, so i assume OP accepted the answer because it worked :/

chaskes

@edwinksl Well, I have to say that's a big assumption. People seem to accept answers for many reasons other than "it worked"

Oh, well.

Serg

@chaskes lynx , the command-line browser that you see referenced in that screenshot, however doesn't create a .desktop file upon installation. That had to be something from usage history

Kaz Wolfe

L. D. James, Buffalo, New York

4.9k 2 13 34

14.04 dual-boot boot partitioning networking system-installation 16.04

I challenge the claims made in this guy's bio.

chaskes

@Serg Well, my original thought was that sometimes terminal apps do create launchers and sometimes the launcher has a name that doesn't match the executable.

Of course, I could be wrong, but I just don't see anything in the answer or the comments that linked the Q with the A. That said, you are probably correct.

Serg

@chaskes that's true, there are many cases where launchers don't match the executable, and terminal apps do create .desktop files. In this particular case , it's neither. I've lynx installed right now, checked dash - no launcher, nothing. Only runable from terminal

chaskes

9:36 PM

Ok, good to know. It could also be that the OP is mistakenly calling it a launcher and a .desktop file. Still, the answer should point this out then.

edwinksl

yeah looks like lynx doesn't create a .desktop file packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/lynx/filelist

RobotHumans

perhaps launchers should have a divider in the left panel to show manually launched but remembered apps and actual desktop files added to the menu?

chaskes

Thanks, guys for the feedback. I still think a better answer would correct the OP's misconceptions and point out that he may erase some history that he wants...but these are quibbles. It's not an out-of-the-blue answer like I originally thought.

So I was missing something.

RobotHumans

me too, so don't feel bad

chaskes

Do you have monthly shipping of cartridges by vendor or such?

Kaz Wolfe

no. it's in the service menu

it apparently sets the cartridges to 0 pages left and marks them as unusable.

chaskes

I was thinking that might be a way to trigger the send me a new cartridge, but it was a guess.

Kaz Wolfe

it's a way to trigger me to go out and buy new cartridges

@ByteCommander Ok, thanks.

L. D. James

@chaskes Hi, Chaskes. You might have missed something in reading my comments and answer. My comments was to be certain where the user was seeing what he was interpreting as a program. I thought about discussion whether it was something runnable. But instead I asked for information so that my answer would be more direct to his problem and question.

2 hours ago, by RobotHumans

@chaskes probably not

Serg

Damn scanner, i can't figure out where the dark lines are coming from

Byte Commander

hardware defect?

Kaz Wolfe

11:26 PM

@L.D.James Problem's been resolved. We were just a bit confused at first because it doesn't seem to be on-topic until you actually read through it

Serg

Maybe hardware defect. I took it apart, cleaned the glass bed, the scanner thingy itself - and yet there's still dark line in the image

L. D. James

He saw something on his system and asked for a description, thinking he had hit something to install it. My answer was to describe some of the feature of the search button and history of activity. I understand that you saw things different. But I put myself into his place when I was new to computers. I gave him something to work with. Also looking at the tool for removing history will help him to understand how to remove what he might consider junk from this search history.

Kaz Wolfe

Yeah, your answer is just fine and can stand.

We were just confused here for a bit.

L. D. James

...or course, or just let it do it's thing an scroll off. I'm sure if you think about it, it'll make sense and you're recognize the answer matches the question.

Thanks!

Kaz Wolfe

though, if i may give some advice, it would have been preferable to explain where it actually came from, not just how to get rid of it.

But that's just a personal taste.

chaskes

11:29 PM

@L.D.James I absolutely missed something, which I admitted in later comments. You were right. In the end I just had a quibble saying that the answer should make it a little more clear what was going on. But you were absolutely correct. :)

Kaz Wolfe

Or, at least make it more apparent, it's kind of hidden in your post.

L. D. James

I thought I did explain where it came from in the first part of my answer. I wanted my answer to match his question... so I added the part of how to get rid of it.

Kaz Wolfe

@L.D.James Yeah, you did, it just took me a second or two to notice it. Like I said, it's fine, and that's just a personal taste issue.

L. D. James

Thanks!

chaskes

One more minor point, info in comments is not permanent and should be expected to go away. So it's good practice to include points from the comments in the answer.

L. D. James

I agree about the comments being trivial and might go away. My comments was mainly for my information so that I could be more on point with the answer. Speaking too much about the details of the comment could distract from the on the point and clear answer. My comments was just to identify clearly what he was seeing. From the original question, he mentioned dash but appeared to describe launcher. I really thought he was talking about the launcher.

I believe as you mentioned, the comments was throwing you off at first. So they can be as you mentioned disregarded and deleted. I was focused on giving a clear and to the point answer... which I understand it might not be as clear and precise to some. But that was my intentions.

I appreciate the advise and critique. When I answer a question, I try to take in account that others will be reading and should be able to benefit. So if it isn't clear to you, then I'm failing and will have to step up trying to be more careful.

Serg

i guess i'm getting a new scanner. This is BS of A

L. D. James

The way I read his question is that he was concerned about how to remove the file when there isn't a desktop. He had already recognized by searching that there wasn't a desktop file. I guess I could have repeated what It appeared that he had found and posted in his question. There's always a little more to add. Even now, I'm feeling like I'm leaving some important points out... but at the same time I feel like I might be a little verbose.
