I just ran out of memory.

And I have 16 GB :P

Why is gnome-software running...?

Gmail in a single tab is using 300+ MB of RAM.

RIP computer.

Serg

Let me guess - it was running in chrome ?

Nathan Osman

Oh of course.

Serg

12:17 AM

So how do I become productive

drink coffee

Already do

drink more coffee

OK

I would actually say drink less coffee.

Serg

12:21 AM

I think I should drink beer instead lol

Seth

-.-

Nathan Osman

If you want something healthier, orange juice is good.

@Zanna @Serg on the video duration Q, did you two not cast a VTC or did you retract if you did?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

1:41 AM

@NathanOsman That's normal (300+MB RAM) for gmail.

Nathan Osman

It may be normal, but it's still obscene.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Yeah and I'm only using 2% of the free 15 GB storage... 320 MB of RAM used.

There were some websites with user comments allowed that would crash the machine because each tab would go over 1 GB and keep growing. But they fixed them after I posted screen shots here in AU.

Serg

@muru i didn't cast, only posted a comment. Later as pointed out in chat, the questions differ slightly, since OP in the one i commented, wants full path to filea

*files

muru

Ah..

Best Buy wants $200 for a 20 ft. HDMI cable. Walmart has one for $22 but the wait is until March 15 so I ordered from States for $10 with a slightly longer wait plus got a 25ft cat5 cable for 5 bucks. My 15 ft HDMI cable bit the dust but the longer ones I ordered allow me to run around the walls instead of under the throw rug in front of the TV.

London Drugs also sells crazy expensive HDMI cables. When I bought my TV they wanted to know if I wanted to buy a 6 ft HDMI cable for 20 bucks, I gave them a funny look because they are a buck at the dollar store :p

Somehow I don't think I did the meme right...

But that still looked dumb enough to post here.

:D

WinEunuuchs2Unix

haha that could be interpreted as you calling your on-line friends stupid :p

Nathan Osman

But we iz so sthmart.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

smart enough to make a meme...well you at least not me

Serg

@Zanna We posted same link : askubuntu.com/q/419823/295286 I'll delete mine for now, but as pointed out earlier in chat, the question is slightly different because OP wants full path to files.

SCBB's answer probably will be sufficient, but not tested

> .field private final mUpdateHanlder:Landroid/os/Handler;

this line does not make me have very much faith in LG's engineers

WinEunuuchs2Unix

What do you think "LG" stands for?

Zacharee1

ur mum

WinEunuuchs2Unix

don't have one.

seriously though?

oh i see

you're googling the alternate to

"Life's Good" :p

without google iirc it's "Lucky Goldstar"

Nathan Osman

2:48 AM

Sometimes Android Studio is smart.

Other times it is:

/facepalm

Oooooooooh.

Hang on. It was me that was stupid.

I see what it was trying to tell me now but the error is a bit unclear.

Q: Image link cleanup for HTTPS

As you may have read by now, the roadmap to HTTPS will involve some manual fixing of dead links to images and uploading images from other sources to imgur. Sooner or later this is going to come our way, so let's get cracking now. The SE devs have a list of posts for MSE, but for the rest of us, t...

Q: Does "Disk Operating System" imply that there was a "non-disk" Operating System?

In the 1980's at primary school we saw MS DOS and DR DOS competing before Windows 3.1 and subsequent releases took over that space. At home we had Apple II's which booted up to a BASIC prompt. On these we ran PRO-DOS and CP/M. 30 years later my kids hardly know what a disk is. That made me t...

floppy-disk ms-dos rom operating-system apple-dos

Nice question

WinEunuuchs2Unix

4:24 AM

^^^ I don't think so... disk = non-volatile storage. All operating systems are recorded on non-volatile storage - reel to reel tape, cassette, floppy, hard disk, usb, rom, eeprom heck even punch cards. I spent 15 minutes reading the answers, they all missed the BIOS is the first operating system booted, Grub is the second operating system, DOS is the thrid operating system and Windows is the fourth operating system which presents GUI to user with option of a DOS (cmd.exe) box.

Q: How to get all processes running on each CPU core in Ubuntu?

I am working on Ubuntu14.04 server and it has 48 CPU cores. I am seeing there is high CPU usage on one core from sar information. So I want to know which processes are running on that core. How should I get all processes running on each CPU core in Ubuntu?

ubuntu process cpu ps top

Nathan Osman

Well not necessarily. What about PXE?

Isn't that volatile storage?

Zanna

4:55 AM

@muru I retracted >_<

Forgot to refresh the page and delete my comment, what an idiot

Serg

5:30 AM

And with that awk question I reached 44k ^_^ / Wooo

Zanna

Congrats!

Serg

thanks ^^

Sometimes I think back to when I only had a few hundred points of rep and 10k and 20k seemed astronomical . . .

And it all still does seem astronomical. Sometimes it's hard to believe I got this far o.o

Serg

5:50 AM

Is it my network or the site really takes loooooong time to load posts ?

muru

@Serg maybe that ddos against SO is still going on

Serg

could be. I wonder which botnet mafia got pissed off at SO , and more importantly - why ?

Q: How to set a local password on Ubuntu server16.04 with Kerberos authentication?

I use a Ubuntu server16.04 with Kerberos authentication on an ActiveDirectory server. My user account on the Ubuntu doesn't have a local password,I deleted it once, but have a Kerberos password, so I want to add a local password for my account in case the ActiveDirectory server is down. I tried...

6:39 AM

wow it's SUPER annoying going through the non-https SEDE query and finding loads of hostmar stuff I can't fix

I wish I'd nuked all those bit.ly links now

Nathan Osman

I am willing to host the image if need be.

Zanna

that would be heroic...

Nathan Osman

I can do qms.li/software.

That should be easy enough to remember :D

And I have automated SSL certs for the domain.

However, I'd want to talk to Marco first. If he can add HTTPS to his, I'd just as rather use that.

Zanna

yeah that would be better

I will watch meta :)

Q: want to create a cron job to play video file?

But its showing --> no crontab for vishal - using an empty one crontab: installing new crontab any suggestions how to workout ?

ubuntu cron nano

Nathan Osman

So apparently it is possible to do Android => PC transfers with NitroShare on Ubuntu if you create a file /etc/avahi/services/nitroshare.service with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
        <name replace-wildcards="yes">NitroShare on %h</name>
        <service protocol="ipv6">
                <type>_nitroshare._tcp</type>
                <port>40818</port>
                <txt-record>uuid=dummy</txt-record>
        </service>
        <service protocol="ipv4">
                <type>_nitroshare._tcp</type>
                <port>40818</port>
                <txt-record>uuid=dummy</txt-record>

(And you'll need avahi-daemon installed.)

Ok, i think I should stop editing my answer because my interwebs are painfully slow

David Foerster

@NathanOsman: Do you still need help with your electronics problem from ~13 h ago?

Nathan Osman

I sort of gave up...

I can get voltage across the battery and voltage across the power button connectors.

But no combination of shorting wires seems to work.

I'm wondering if the battery's voltage is too low.

And I don't have a voltmeter to check.

:(

Serg

ugh oh, panic mode engaged

my tty consoles are all blacked out

David Foerster

@NathanOsman: Ah, too bad. I guess you need to wait for a voltmeter then. Simple multimeters are cheap enough though. :-)

Serg

8:44 AM

@videonauth sorry to tell you this but your answer misses the goal of what OP is trying to achieve. askubuntu.com/a/772120/295286

Zanna

@Serg he won't get the ping - leave a comment

Serg

8:56 AM

@Zanna yup, posted, and unfortunately had to downvote

Zanna

Yeah... haven't seen him for a while...

hope he's ok

@Serg if the answer is that it can't be done, then I think you should post that as an answer, if you want to?

thanks @DavidFoerster I retracted my flag

9:34 AM

@DavidFoerster askubuntu.com/a/890826/15811 2nd paragraph 1st sentence seems odd to me

"You'll use all encrypted files if you lose the key or password."
Did you mean "loose"??

David Foerster

@Rinzwind Thanks for the catch. Though I mean "lose".

Zanna

you could set the key loose to roam freely XD

Serg

@Zanna if we are talking about the deb\zip question, then I don't want to post since I am not 100% sure.I am not very proficient in package management

Off to sleep. Bye
