the answer to this post, askubuntu.com/questions/383533/remove-unity-on-ubuntu-13-10 I made an edit which I thought was correct at the time. (didn't see the last part of the question..)
also that question should be closed..

seth hi

I'm hoping for more hats :D

Q: Stack Exchange Winter Bash has begun! Hats all around!

jrgHats have begun! As part of an attempt to spread holiday cheer, Stack Exchange has decided to do a winter hat bash. so, you might see something like this when you login to Ask Ubuntu today: Hats galore all around! So, go forth and earn hats. And if you dislike hats, there is an opt-out butto...

(soon)
after getting them whats next ?
there must be some encouragement to get more involved .
What do you mean? They're juts like badges..
okay
whats the idea behind them ?
Just fun.

@Seth kernel image headers updates releases by what ?
@rajagenupula I don't understand.
we do get kernel updates right.
on what basis ubuntu will release them ?
As in on-topic here?
Ahh.
I don't know when they decide to release them.
01:21
period of time or issue fixing ?
Probably issue fixing, but I don't know.
02:00
@Alvar that's sure a comment...

Q: ubuntu/mint brightness 0 by default on login

vlknEvery time I boot up ubuntu or mint, after choosing an OS from grub but before logging in, screen brightness is set to 0. Why is that? I always end up manually turning on the brightness in order to see the logo and then login screen. It does not happen in other distros like debian. I encoutner...

04:45
Hello.
@Seth You voted to close this question: askubuntu.com/questions/382686/major-graphics-problem because it's a "My computer boots to a black screen..." duplicate, but it's not a dupe of that. The OP has got an underlying visual artifacts problem.
I've heard that using full paths in bash scripts isn't a good idea.. Why exactly is that?
@karel It could be the same problem. Graphics issues surface in more ways than just black screens. Never heard the RAM story before.
@Seth It looks to me like he's getting the visual artifacts because he's trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on an old XP laptop that has only 256MB RAM.
It's probably both graphics and RAM issues. Ubuntu needs more than 256MB..
I've got a 2 day old flag O_o
04:59
got it.
@Seth at least 384MB RAM. I have edited the tag wiki for the visual-artifacts tag on Superuser. Yesterday in fact... Do you think it would be a good idea to also create a visual-artifacts tag for AU?
o0
with a system that old, might also be the graphics card
Did ubuntu need more high perfomance equipment compared to windows 7?
@JourneymanGeek There is no graphics card in the laptop specs from CNET here‌​, just a 14.1" screen with Max Resolution 1024 x 768.
@DarkHorse: not really
Unity needs decent graphics
@karel: might be integrated. Might also be failing.
hmm
05:07
It is now officially okay to play Christmas music.
my ubuntu version is 12.04
I'm currently running lubuntu 12.10 on a system thats probably too crappy to run windows 7 on
But fluency is not very good when running on notebook
my notebook has 2G RAM and intel I3 processor
05:10
see the @Sushantp606 answer in askubuntu.com/questions/383605/… the commands in that answer are right .
>_>
that SHOULD be alright
anymore, firefox is always running slow and sometimes dircetly crash
that might just be firefox ;p

Q: internet bandwidth issue

vlknI cannot seem to download files from the internet on my laptop with mint/ubuntu, due to strange bandwidth fluctuations. I am able to browse web with firefox with no problems, apt-get update and dist-upgrade work normally, both my firefox and deluge and transmission have standard settings, I have...

what explorer did you using? @JourneymanGeek
chrome?
05:16
@DarkHorse Once again, it could be RAM related. You can add more RAM to the Firefox browser cache, but ONLY IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH RAM, otherwise it may cause system performance and stability issues.
I will update ARM memory to 4G
@karel @NathanOsman plz see my previous message
@AvinashRaj already saw it. you gotta love sed.
@DarkHorse: I don't run linux on the desktop much. I do favour qtweb in systems with not much resources
its webkit based, fairly light
@karel is that commands are correct or not?
05:42
@AvinashRaj The commands look good to me, but the resulting sources.list file would be easier to read if you changed the two commands by adding a space character to them like this: sudo sed -i 's/^deb\-src/\# deb\-src/' /etc/apt/sources.list and sudo sed -i 's/^\# deb\-src/deb\-src/' /etc/apt/sources.list. All I did was to replace the two instances of #deb with # deb.
@DarkHorse 4GB of RAM oughta be enough.
@karel try this it also put comment: sudo sed 's/^deb\-src/\#deb\-src/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
The above command add # before each line started with deb-src.But he answered to replace s/^deb\-src/\#deb\-src/ with the ppa you want comment.
@AvinashRaj I recommend that you read DaithiF's answer on this thread regarding the usage of the -i flag in sed to make the changes in-place to the file that you're editing.
He answered to replace s/^deb\-src/\#deb\-src/ with the ppa you want to comment.Is that right?
06:06
@AvinashRaj I ran Sushantp606's commands and they looked OK to me. After you've looked at DaithiF's answer and the other links on that page, you might also take a look at my answer to a question about sed on Superuser.
Regarding DaithiF's other commands, I wouldn't worry about it. I just liked his remark about the usage of the -i flag in sed,
@karel i am not asking about the placing -i flag before or after,He answered to replace s/^deb\-src/\#deb\-src/ with the ppa you want to comment.Is that right?
@AvinashRaj It looks OK to me. If you're nervous about possible wild 3rd-party software sources lines that might already be in sources.list you can edit the sources.list file manually in nano.
06:23
@karel sudo sed -i 'deb-src http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu/ saucy-updates main restricted' /etc/apt/sources.list command shows error
plz see what he was trying to say at the last line askubuntu.com/questions/383605/…
06:37
@AvinashRaj I got as far as mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu/dists/saucy-updates/main in my web browser, but when I got there I didn't find any restricted directory. Maybe that's your error is that it's looking for a directory in mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu/dists/saucy-updates/main that doesn't exist.

@Rinzwind お久しぶり
thanks @mochan :+
@Rinzwind :D
How's life?
08:31
annoying :=)
our company was 9 ppl (boss included) and 4 got fired so I got the workload of 3 now :)
@hbdgaf Ubuntu 14.04 is still under development,so package search won't work as the repo isn't hosted yet.
@hbdgaf I was mistaken. The repo is hosted for 14.04 Trusty Tahr. And gtk appears to be 3.8. But, it's almost 1 year old. The current stable version is 3.12,they should give atleast 3.10. Stability is important for an LTS, but it doesn't mean giving age old packages.

he "tried" to self answer his own question askubuntu.com/q/383695/169736
the one part that is in english is enough to dupe it >:)
then linked all the other question he found.
14:38
yeah
technically it might be correct but .... it feels wrong
@Braiam Seven dupe questions all within a one hour time period. He should ask on IRC.
what am i supposed to do? :O
someone VTR this so we can close all the other questions as dupe askubuntu.com/a/383802/169736
I don't think I can trust that answer works. Nope.
14:44
even then, it better be closed as a duplicate instead of it being the master.
and most probably are version specific anyway.
Ubuntu wiki make reference to it help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190
@jokerdino err.... you really want a 11.10 solution???
what do you mean?
that solution won't work with.... mmm.... 12.04 onwards....
unknown's answer
That's why I put the header there.
14:59
what to do. what to do :=D
@Rinzwind a dosis of OT flags, maybe we need to send the dinosaur
OT'd it
fossy is hammering down canon printers :)
I almost was asking what is doing @kalina with a NAA flag in some answer
@Rinzwind thats the green dinosaur :)
here another dupe @fossfreedom askubuntu.com/questions/383812/… :+)
oooh oli saw I posted a dupe on the topic he closed as unclear what is asked <3
15:09
OK. That whole Canon printer lb 2900 was messy.
sure was!!!
wait
still is!!! it is all over the frontpage
if I found another dupe I will blame Google!!!!
tsk I'd blame fossy for not closing it
another topic I have doubts about: askubuntu.com/questions/383778/laptop-compatibilty
"So I'm looking for more informations on the latest ultrabooks and linux compatibility."
too broad?
@Rinzwind has the smell of "opinion based"
"show meh yourz laptopz recomendationz"
why I hate tags
@AvinashRaj Stop putting anything other than code in codeblock. This is unnecessary.
15:16
friendly.ubuntu.com aaah this has been discontinued :(
@jokerdino he has 2k rep, so someone didn't teach him when he had >2k... I blame reviewers :(.
"15th December: friendly.ubuntu.com is removed from the DNS server "
No idea what is Friendly.
@Braiam :/
It was a sub site where users could post their experiences with hardware @jokerdino but hardly anyone used it
15:19
Exactly why it was discontinued :D
"On October 2011 we launched the beta of Ubuntu Friendly, with a clear goal: being the reference of systems that work well with Ubuntu, using the community to test their own laptops and desktops and submit results, using Checkbox, a tool that is currently available in Ubuntu Desktop by default. "
...I used it... once
@Rinzwind I swear that you are confusing the pirate rat with the dinosaur...
@Braiam Yeah, I am confused myself.
It's almost like he is using Find & Replace.
"(
tsk
there
you can't edit as fast as I do
Now I kinda remember Friendly.
15:21
yes I can
checkbox the tool used to test your system is still available in sausy.: packages.ubuntu.com/…
yeah I expect it to be gone in 14.04
ok, what is this
Meaning i can use it to test my laptop, but not post anywhere?
@Braiam a special person
amma try checkbox out, and test if its easy for new users, and ask them to test there hardware. if there Q seems to be hardware related.
if i remember correctly, it can test any type of hardware...
wtf. i downvoted and commented on the link given by @Braiam, and now i have -1 point? link: askubuntu.com/questions/329109/…
15:35
that's why you should not downvote and just flag >:D
downvoting users that are on 1 is a waste anyways
> You lose reputation when: ...
> you vote down an answer: −1
spam flag is -1 too but you do not loose rep :+)
@blade19899 ^
@Rinzwind don't downvote spam!!!!!!!!!
i didn't notice her rep! :',(
my precious point :',D
the rep will come back to you as soon as the post is deleted.
15:37
aaah
already got it back
edited the Q
and upvoted it again
i missed my baby to much :(
@Braiam, LMAO
people titles on questions sucks.... :(

@Seth hmm that one.
Just delete it already D:
Put it out of its misery
16:46
@jokerdino the user did :P
@jokerdino Thank you :P
Just another 30 more flags. Hee
@jokerdino Add closed:no to that.
16:50
No
Why not?
I already added no.
After I told you :P
No :P
I checked just a second before. I didn't notice much difference though ;p
@Seth if you don't have a link proving it... it never happened!
16:53
@jokerdino Oh ok. The timing was so close ;)

It was just a close coincidence.
@Seth good game
17:17
Anyone who knows chem here?
just a little
@AmithKK Chemistry ;)
I know too, but... may be oxidized
Is this correct?
@AmithKK sounds legit
metals donate electrons right?
17:33
apparently yes
Oxidation half reaction: Fe0 → Fe3+ + 3e−
So that means it's a reducing agent right?
It itself gets oxidised
17:50
@AmithKK if we go by definition, yeah...
@Braiam Why do people think that stuff is "cool"?
@Seth just me or they are taking the pi value out of my system (JS?) and then printing it...
@Braiam I don't know, I didn't look.
@Seth yeah, seems like it....
O_O
Wow.
And jQuery. YAY.

seems like a good question...
almost all this guy rep comes from a sole answer stackoverflow.com/users/41669/scott-dowding

Your server was compromised, I wouldn't try to "repair it"?
> You? If any of those is yes, you can use it. There are a bunch of them in the package is hdf5. You remove it latter. You can also use radeontop to get live statistics on your kernel headers to install fglrx. To install them is easy: sudo apt-get install gparted unetbootin Now look for Trusty Tahr: wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule The only way I see is to reinstall the Medibuntu repository; Select and remove it: The problem must be that at releases.ubuntu.com,
