@Braiam lol
 
1:12 PM
ha took a little bit of time to find the chat link >:D
 
@Rinzwind in that case the pinned message is useless :(
 
@Braiam Me aint seeing a pinned message?
 
@Takkat This chatrooms number?
 
yeah
 
@Braiam wait you meant here in chat? Not very useful if you need to know where the link is to find a link inside that location you need to find :=)
 
and can't be in meta because... you can't find the meta link either! D:
 
:=D
 
@Braiam ask a mod to make it featured in the Community Bulletin
 
jrg
1:33 PM
Ask and ye shall receive.
 
oh! i love this song youtube.com/watch?v=NbyHNASFi6U

Q: New SE bar, where the link to X gone?

BraiamThis is a ripoff of kalina's guide found in MSO for people that can't find stuff in the new not-technically black new SE bar.

 
@Braiam \o/
 
has anyone listened yet?
 
jrg
They are still making music?
 
1:44 PM
who? LP? yes
 
@jrg @Braiam isn't the songs awesome?
 
why are we closing this again? askubuntu.com/q/388576/169736
 
I sounds like a Windows 8 question to me
 
mm... he's trying to make a bootable usb in Ubuntu... I don't care what the bootable usb is about, but he's using Ubuntu to create it
 
You got a point there.
 
1:58 PM
oh! finally i made my homework! now only the writing part is left. mmmm. i am feeling lazy, i will do in school! bye
 
unboxing my new Raspberry PI! :)
 
2:15 PM
@Alvar gratz!

Q: Trouble embedding clang in a standalone application

Prakhar MishraI am running Ubuntu 13.04 on my end and I have installed clang as well as libclang-dev and llvm (through apt). I tried hard to run RecursiveASTVisitor example given here:- http://clang.llvm.org/docs/RAVFrontendAction.html but no luck. On thing also annoying me is:- Unknown CMake command "llvm_...

 
going for the noobs with offline
guess it will work..
 
@JourneymanGeek says that you should get raspbian... Raspberry Pi (cc @Alvar)
 
@Braiam that was a strange link ?
@Braiam aaaaah you can scroll down the page...
 
2:40 PM
@Alvar: install noobs - it'll let you install any of the supported distros from it
 
@JourneymanGeek installing rasbian version fo debian
 
I'm using the minimal version (which dosen't have pre-downloaded images)
@Alvar: ahh
 
I'd warn, packages are a little old
and when I tried to update to jesse, things went badly
 
how should I install the image on to the sd card?
 
2:41 PM
@Alvar: the instructions should say how ;p
 
I followed the isntructions on the raspian site
 
those should be correct
 
I'm using disk imager on windows
not sure if I should press read or write...
nvm
read it too fast again -.-
it's write..
 
lol
write
but I hate to say this but noobs is probably a better idea
 
@JourneymanGeek wut
why
gonna use it as a webserver that's it
 
2:43 PM
@Alvar: simpler to install and reinstall
significantly more flexibility
 
I like apt -.-
DEBIAN!
 
no no
noobs is basically a bootloader
 
oh
 
it installs raspian for you
 
oh oh
soo...
 
2:44 PM
and you can reinstall from there
 
I got a 16GB of SD card so space isn't the main problem..
 
ya
I'm so tempted to buy another raspi ;p
 
I downloaded noobs first, noticied it's twice the size of debian
haha
bought a case and all for mine :)
 
it contains images of all the officially supported OSes
oh
 
ok
 
2:45 PM
@Alvar the case has fire design for boost speed?
 
if you want qbitorrent let me know ;p
I have a compiled package with checkinstall
 
hehe
 
its quick and dirty (I forgot to set deps properly) but unlike the repo version, it actually works
 
was just done with the write to the drive
 
ahh
then..
try it out ;p
 
2:53 PM
@JourneymanGeek and now it says used space 18mb, free soace 37,8 mb, capacaty 55mb .. WUT?!
 
hm
I think you can boot into it and use raspi-config to expand it
 
3:10 PM
@JourneymanGeek It did that on first boot of debian
@JourneymanGeek I'm haing difficulty changing my keyboard layout. I have a Swedish keyboard and the default is GB, but when I change to sv/sw it fails on next boot and uses the default still...
 
not sure about that
I'm sure I changed mine to US

Q: SE Bar Design - Able to be modified?

Thomas W.I'm looking at the new SE Bar, and while it is indeed spiffy, its colors clash a little with both meta AND the main site's styles. Is it possible for the SE bar to have customized color pallets for each of the sites, to at least match better with the site colors/design?

 
Hi!
This may be offtopic. but I need a recommendation on an OpenWRT router

Q: How do I remove Ubuntu Saucy packages from Linux Mint?

LirikI'm pretty new to using Linux distributions and for some reason I decided to install some Ubuntu packages on my Mint distribution a few months ago. I recently attempted to update the distribution of Mint by running sudo apt-get update, however, the installer seems to also be updating all of the...

 
@Ufoguy off topic hardware recommendation.
 
I need a router that can act as a NAS, torrent client, good firewall. How much ram would I need
?
 
no idea

Q: Anyone find the reset tag useful?

BraiamWe have 88 questions tagged reset. It's used for almost any kind of reset action, from reset preferences to reset the system. I don't find that tag useful at all. Someone has been suggesting a tag wiki, but whenever I check the questions that are currently tagged (and as answerer) I see no patter...

 
4:43 PM
@JourneymanGeek I skipped that and just uses ssh which works just fine :)
@JourneymanGeek do you know of something similar to sensors in debian for my PI? I want to see how hot the PI is.
 
@Braiam ping.
looks like there are some aesthetic changes that can be done :P
what do you think :)
@Seth same ping
 
5:03 PM
@Alvar ^
 
@Braiam ?
 
same ping?
 
@Braiam sensors-detect in Ubuntu.
 
we were asking for your opinion @Alvar
 
wut
 
5:04 PM
on the new SE bar
read the link i posted
 
white!
read my comment honey! ;)
 
E: NoCommentDisplayed

I want my White theme! so it melts into the rest of the site better. — Alvar 3 mins ago
@ThomasW. y u so slow?
 
because internet lag
 
5:06 PM
haha!
 
stuck on mobile broadband atm
 
ouch
 
and i didn't ask for your comment on what you wanted
i wanted the opinion of what Jin changed.
see the screenshots in the answer
 
@ThomasW. I don't care about that I want my white theme! WHITE!
 
ultimately we should have Ubuntu Orange but i don't think they'll do that
 
5:07 PM
MOAR WHITENESS!
no white so it melts into the rest of the site
 
heh
i think if we had ubuntu orange it could easily merge into the header on the main site
 
beacuse I said white first ;)
damn
@ThomasW. then I'm sorry.
 
woah
 
OT: bug report

Q: Segmentation fault when launching terminator on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bits) - gnome desktop

user224117I've just installed terminator and I've got the following: $ terminator -v terminator 0.96 [~/.config/terminator] $ terminator -d noclass::parse_options: OptionParse::parse_options: command line options: {'profile': None, 'nodbus': None, 'execute': None, 'layout': 'default', 'dummy': None, 'geom...

segfault usually = bug
@jokerdino also can you close a question as a dupe even though i have an answer on it?
 
using htop on my raspberry PI, the task that used to most amount of cpu and mem was htop -.-
 
i can't do it.
 
okay then
then we have a problem, @jokerdino
 
not yet at least.
 
someone wants a workaround to something that doesn't exist
they want to set a pw on the guest account system
EVERY GUIDE EVERYWHERE even on the ubuntu help docs says you can't do it
 
he really wants a password no matter what.
 
5:23 PM
then he should just create a user named "guest" and share the pw
and lock it down
 
Why don-t use the Regs. room
 
which i even SAID
@Lucio because we're not on a regulation issue anymore
@jokerdino if he wants a pw, he can set up an actual user like the other question suggests, and then set its pw, and lock it down with the same PAM restrictions as the guest account
 
but those could be mode
 
then disable the guest account system
@jokerdino I even state as such
 
hmm, that's a good answer
 
5:24 PM
but NOOOOOOOOOOOO he wants to change the existing functionality... I sense an issue here.
@jokerdino what is, mine?
 
yeah
 
there was an app to show the pressed keys
 
yeah no
 
have someone still memory_
keymon
dino, I like your hat
 
5:29 PM
thanks, it's the santa hat.
and not for sale
@ThomasW. i like the purple-ish stuff too.
still either of them are better than what we have right now
 
@jokerdino I agree, the darker purple shade is better though
rather than the lighter purple shade Takkat had in his suggestion
i even mention that in the comments
 
i ticked Takkat's comment
 
@ThomasW. he already had post "rants" to mochan answer in the other question.
 
@Braiam Then @jokerdino should slap him with a temporary ban for anticivil behavior
and then if he comes back and continues his ranting about "How come this functionality doesn't exist" then be barred from posting.
ultimately the only solution he has is to create another account on the system and lock it down with PAM restrictions, otherwise he'll have to rewrite the entire code for the system
which i state in my most recent comment there
 
6:25 PM
@jokerdino
It's still not clear to me that the self-erasing guest itself can't be adapted. It also seems too early to rule out a workaround. I think this is an interesting question and that a solution can add real value. Does anyone want to throw in here, probably as another answer as the discussion is getting too long to read? — guest 27 mins ago
never have i wanted to beat someone more...
his use case doesn't fit what the user is designed to be.
and if it does, he shouldn't need to enforce pw auth
 
6:41 PM
BBT
Good Night
 
@Lucio xev?
xbindkeys -k also does something similar
 
Not sure whether I'm doing something silly.
Just ran sudo apt-get update while running Ubuntu from a flash stick.
It's still running now.
 
sounds normal to me, what's the problem? How long has it been running?
the only time it wouldn't be normal is if you don't have persistence on
 
Still running? How long has it been?
 
@Seth Not very long.
 
6:54 PM
then there's no issue
 
Just a couple of minutes.
 
@TRiG that's normal
 
1 hour ago, by Lucio
keymon
 
Just hope it doesn't overwrite anything it shouldn't.
 
thanks anyway :)
 
6:55 PM
@Lucio Ah, okay.
 
There's data on that flashstick besides Ubuntu.
 
it's apt-get. it should only affect the Ubuntu part
 
Oh my
 
it's not parted or gparted which messes with partitions :P
 
@ThomasW. Grand. Thanks for the reassurance.
 
6:56 PM
@TRiG this is what you should do though:
separate the data you absolutely can't lose from the device
and put it on a separate one
i have two USB sticks on my keychain, one for Ubuntu, one for data I can't do without
and as always
BACK UP YOUR STUFF.
 
@Lucio Those faces have their stories
 
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF.

wait a second
remove the italic!
 
I'm only running Ubuntu from the flash stick so I can repartition the hard drive. Currently the Windows partition has so little space that I can't update it.
 
@Lucio but i like italics :p
 
6:57 PM
You can also partition flash drives, though I don't know how well that works, or if you can do it on a FAT32 file system.
 
@ThomasW. no, Seth does
 
@Lucio we all love italics :)
 
thx haha

A: Can I Adjust/Reduce My Partition Size for Ubuntu?

AlaaYes, there is a way to resize your partitions. However, depending on the different partitions you have and their locations, it might be a long process to resize. Nonetheless, here's what you can do, and what I always do. This method uses a utility called GParted. Before we begin, it is advisable...

 
@Lucio I love that obamas (wife?) on the right is so formal! :D
 
6:58 PM
^^ That's the advice I'm following.
 
italics ... AND CAPS.. BOTH
 
@Alvar well, it was a funeral :/
 
@Lucio oh....
 
lol
