Hello, people! Can someone please take a look at this bug?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1236996
I have tried to find askubuntu questions regarding this matter, but they all seem to suggest using bumblebee, while nvidia 319 should support Optimus.

Q: Is there a way to get apt-get to install from different distributions in one single command?

I'm building a package from source in Debian Wheezy, which has a few build-deps that cannot be satisfied by stable. Therefore, I use a few packages from unstable, testing and wheezy-backports. The best way to do these until now has been to combine the commands using "&&" and using the "-y" switc...

Amith KK

@IgorZinov'yev It's a demo. I think yes

Because this seems like something you have to integrate at system level

Igor Zinov'yev

So you have CM on Nexus 10?

Amith KK

No :)

Igor Zinov'yev

(Assuming that's you who did the video)

Amith KK

07:21

That's not my video lol

Igor Zinov'yev

Oh :) Then I have assumed wrong

Amith KK

It's by Koush

I'm so going to install this though(When it comes out)

This is the only mirroring that does not lag much

Igor Zinov'yev

Yeah, me too. I already have two CM devices, so I'm set. I just wanted to ask how does CM feel on Nexus 10

Amith KK

I hope it can stream to a Raspberry Pi :P

Igor Zinov'yev

I wonder if it can stream audio

Amith KK

There's A2DP for that

It would be silly if they didn't include that in there too.

Is there any online Ubuntu documentation that describes each of the directories/files in proc/PID directories?

Amith KK

Good Night

JohnMerlino

besides the man page

i already looked at this:

proc - process information pseudo-filesystem

The proc filesystem is a pseudo-filesystem which is used as an interface to kernel data structures. It is commonly mounted at /proc. Most of it is read-only, but some files allow kernel variables to be changed. The following outline gives a quick tour through the /proc hierarchy. /proc/[number] There is a numerical subdirectory for each running process; the subdirectory is named by the process ID. Each such subdirectory contains the following pseudo-files and directories. /proc/[number]/auxv (since 2.6.0-test7) This contains the contents of the ELF interpreter information passed to the process at exec time. The format is one unsigned long ID plus one unsigned long value for each entry. The last entry contains two zeros. /proc/[number]/cmdline This holds the complete command line for the process, u…

Moderator around? @Oli ?

Braiam

@Seth there, I forgot to upvote after my comment of the other day :P

Seth

@Braiam Oh cool :)

I just thought it was funny though...

@Braiam Do you think if I asked a question along the lines of "What are unity smart scopes and how do I use them?" It would be OK? Or should I wait until Saucy is officially released?

Braiam

prepared men, double its value, no? (spanish saying)

Seth

I don't understand.

SMART SPAM: askubuntu.com/questions/355936/…

Ooh... quick mod >:D

Braiam

@Seth A man that has prepared is worth more than two.

Seth

18:54

@Braiam Yeah, I understand that bit, but I don't see how that applies to my question ;)

Braiam

> Or should I wait until Saucy is officially released?

how not?

should I make a "What are the package list in apt?" question? askubuntu.com/questions/355874/…

Seth

@Braiam It might be closed as off-topic since Saucy hasn't been released yet

Braiam

1 week isn't it for saucy? also, I think we started to be more lax with Saucy questions unless they are bugs

@Braiam Why did you remove updates just now?

Braiam

> Questions about updates. This is a very general tag. If you have a tag that's more specific (e.g. the package name that your question is about) please use that one.

also, this seems more like update-manager going amok than anything else

@Braiam It's a line. It should be x1, y1, x2, y2. Not y1, y2, y3, y4.

@Braiam Yes, but a line doesn't have 4 widths...

I disagree, though a line isn't a square anyway.

I guess it depends what coordinate system you use.

line is a thin rectangle. (visually, otherwise it would be invisible)
