@IanC Windows has a pagefile.sys (Win NT) or swapfile.sys (Win 10) - not sure at which release they changed the name - in the root directory of a selectable drive, normally C:\

IanC

@ByteCommander I was not sure about recent windows versions, I only read older ones had a file on C:/ by default to be used for swapping. To be honest, the most recent version of windows I used was Vista, then I downgraded to XP until they dropped support for it

Byte Commander

@IanC I'm proud of you :)

IanC

don't really miss windows at all, specially now that I'm learning so much about linux :)

man, the guys who wrote RealTimeKit were trolling when they decided to name the process rtkit-daemon? haha

I mean, I know that breaks the concept of a rootkit

@Seth thing is... can we tweet it without the link? I'm not sure how the attribution thing works... or if a single sentence being quoted falls under that or not.

@NathanOsman oh, fair enough.

Hi, can anyone help on this question? The OP can't access the files in their /home but all permissions seem to be good, IDK what to tell them, any ideas? askubuntu.com/questions/831300/…

IanC

he ran chmod 700 and can't access files?

Mark Kirby

@ianC Yep

IanC

is joe really his user name? that's a bit odd

I just noticed the command you gave him had $USER instead of joe

Mark Kirby

@ianC I had them run it a few times and chown, using his user name and $USER, he said that user name was fine. Do you think it would make a difference to use absolute paths?

Byte Commander

@IanC $USER evaluates to the username who runs it.

IanC

7:36 PM

yeah, that's what I meant @ByteCommander, means his username is really joe

Byte Commander

@MarkKirby Looks like permissions are fine. If he can't see some files in there, they are not there, I guess. Testdisk data recovery?

It's probably more likely he ran a command that deleted files accidentally than one that modifies extended attributes or ACLs...

Mark Kirby

@ByteCommander That is how it looks to me too. I will get him to check form a live usb if any files actually exist in the folders.

Byte Commander

That's a reasonable idea.

And he should stop writing to the disk, in case the files really got deleted!

Mark Kirby

@ParanoidPanda I don't use Stack Overflow, so if I can, I can offer up my 100 rep association bonus, it is not a massive bounty but it may help, if you don't get a better offer.

user136984

7:55 PM

@MarkKirby: If you'd be willing then that would be great! :)

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 how does a 17k user not know what chat flags do

Zacharee1

Mark Kirby

Sure :) I don't need it, you might as well use it.

Serg

OK, I think i got one set of icons figured out

@ParanoidPanda Any thing you want me to put in the custom message box?

user136984

@MarkKirby: No, I don't think so...

Mark Kirby

@ParanoidPanda OK done.

user136984

@MarkKirby: Great! Thanks!! :)

edwinksl

@ParanoidPanda why wouldn't you put a bounty on it yourself?

user136984

@edwinksl: Because I ideally don't want to lose all the few privileges I've got there.

edwinksl

8:01 PM

@ParanoidPanda and somehow asking someone else to do it is better?

user136984

Well, if there is somebody to whom their rep on the site matters less then wouldn't it better be suited to them?

user136984

I'd probably do it if nobody came back to me, but I just wanted to ask around first...

user136984

Or actually, I probably wouldn't have put a bounty on it, but I do need the answer quite soon.

user136984

I don't know, I guess it would depend upon how desperate I got for an answer.

Zacharee1

Since OP isn't going to do it: askubuntu.com/questions/831321/…

IanC

8:04 PM

I think I'll put a bounty here serverfault.com/questions/796788/…

what happens if it doesn't get answered anyways?

bounty goes to space?

Mark Kirby

@edwinksl It is fine :) I don't do much programming and don't need my privileges there. I will offer my association bonus to anyone who wants it, on any site I don't use.

Byte Commander

@IanC It will enter the nirvana of wasted points.

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda are you on any private chat programs? Like Skype, Discord, Slack or Tox?

Mark Kirby

@IanC More or less, it is 50% auto awarded to the highest voted answer, if non is accepted but you can't get it back.

user136984

@Zacharee1: Yes, though I don't really use them very much at the moment. Why?

user136984

8:06 PM

In fact I only have access at the moment to one of those you listed.

Zacharee1

better not be Skype :p

user136984

Nope

user136984

Anyway, why do you ask?

Zacharee1

good, because the US has full access to messages sent there

edwinksl

@MarkKirby that's nice of you, not sure if there are many people as generous as you are :)

Mark Kirby

8:08 PM

@edwinksl If I don't use it, what good is it to me :) Better it goes to helping someone, rather than just sitting there.

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda sorry hang on

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 as if that would be news...

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander it's not like it's illicit either. Skype literally gave them permission

Mark Kirby

@IanC Do you need that answering? I can stick my association bonus in a bounty for you too, if you want.

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda alright, which platform are you on? Tox?

IanC

8:12 PM

@MarkKirby, it's alright, I might add it later (don't use server fault too, no use to that 100 rep :p), but thanks for offering man!

See this definition it fits macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/running-joke you could use the word gag if you did not want to imply the statement was not true, a gag is a joke but without the second meaning.

@KazWolfe Well, yesterday I apt-get upgraded, and then I attempted to mount a network share in Nautilus. It froze, so I xkilled it. Then everything went bonkers, so I sudo rebooted form tty1. On reboot, lightdm was completely messed up (not showing the desktop background) and there was no bar with the time and wifi at the top. If I try to log in, it does log me in, and then crashes and dumps me back after about 10 seconds.

@AndroidDev that... should not be caused by a simple xkill.
