Wait, $20000 for a domain!?!?! :O

I thought you meant $20...

(don't know why)

Nathan Osman

These days, you get the domain name at the same time you decide to use the name so that it will be there when you need it :P

Braiam

@Seth I'm sure he doesn't mean dollars... (I mean, only google's domain worth that much)

Nathan Osman

@Braiam The one I wanted was selling for like $600.

:P

Takkat

(75 $)

.eu is $ 35,- only.

guntbert

Have someone a look - I've never seen such a message
http://askubuntu.com/questions/397338/how-do-i-detect-malicious-client-evesdropping
might it be someone is pulling a hoax on him?

Takkat

22:28

@guntbert bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519007

Alvar

mailwizards.com proof that some people are just crazy. Most serious sites have like this: Place an offer and we'll get back to you...

it's right now hosted at alvarberglind.se/howto/home.php

@guntbert that message seemed so strange to me too. I don't think he's running Ubuntu...

Braiam

@guntbert sometimes is because you switched window too fast and gksu couldn't grab the keyboard...

(polkit didn't had this problem, tho)

@Takkat fixed in 2009...

unless he's using 9.04 or older, he should don't have that problem...

guntbert

if i read correctly he said "during boot" though - that would exclude "switching too fast"

Braiam

could be an app trying to get permission and another app opening it's GUI at boot...

Alvar

@guntbert I read it like it was when he first logged in

guntbert

22:33

and: why is ssh-askpass-fullscreen called when loging in locally?

well, we will have to wait how he responds

Alvar

What's his Ubuntu version to begin with? This just seems very strange...

Xylo

indeed

guntbert

@Braiam about age: the fix in Ubuntu wasn't committed until a year ago

Takkat

@Braiam just wanted to say its not a hoax...

Thomas W.

@Xylo time for your education in what counts as a constructive comment.

Ubuntu is not made for gaming. If you want to play Skyrim, make dual boot with windows and play games there. — Xylo 7 mins ago

^ THAT is not a constructive comment on a question asking "How can I get Skyrim running with Wine?"

(comment is flagged accordingly)

Xylo

22:43

lol

fossfreedom

yeah - and gone.

Xylo

but he'll not get it to work

never

never smooth

Thomas W.

@Xylo irrelevant

Xylo

it'll be like 17 fps

Thomas W.

irrelevant.

if you don't have a constructive comment to add to a post, don't say anything.

Xylo

22:43

well I told him the truth

Thomas W.

If you had said this instead:

Xylo

yeah I have time to write 300 lines explaining why is he not getting it to work

Thomas W.

"Ubuntu is not designed for gaming. Skyrim will not get as good a framerate by running through Wine, and I do not suggest that you use Linux to play Skyrim" or similar...

then i wouldn't flag it

and i wouldn't be publicly flogging you about this

your comment as it was was not constructive though

fossfreedom

"Ubuntu is not designed for gaming" is not clever and not true - would lead to arguments.

best not to comment at all.

Xylo

yeah happened once, sorry

Thomas W.

22:45

@fossfreedom it would still be less not constructive.

Braiam

remember to be honest, but at the same time be nice

Xylo

doesnt matter that i've done like 30 edits today

Thomas W.

and not enough to get on my radar of airstrikes

guntbert

@Takkat, thx for clarifying it is not a hoax - so i can correct the spelling error in the Title :-)

Xylo

now like the flame war is going to start on me

as always

Seth

22:46

@Xylo Try to ignore the flame part..

Xylo

i don't care

Seth

Some people are/can be rough ;)

Xylo

i'm proud of myself

done about 30 edits

in like 3 hours

at least once in the lifetime, im proud of myself

Seth

@Braiam You would think.. but you would be surprised too.

Thomas W.

@fossfreedom can you see who's closevoting things as "Not about Ubuntu" when they're just wrong with such a close vote?

fossfreedom

22:48

@Xylo heh - much appreciated from my POV - thanks.

Xylo

thank you too

Braiam

@Xylo we are only trying to bring the best of you, it may be rough or somehow unreserved, but we believe is for good ;)

guntbert

@Xylo - a word of warning (from my own experience) - too many edits/reviews/votes in a short time may lead to errors :-))

fossfreedom

@ThomasW. close votes are captured on the timeline - so yes.

Xylo

yeah I know guys

@guntbert of course it may, I failed in one edit

still I want to help both mods and people

fossfreedom

22:51

mods = people

Xylo

people with problems, foss

Braiam

@Xylo if you prefer quantity over quality, you are doing it wrong

2

Xylo

@Braiam i do not

both are needed

guntbert

@fossfreedom which is sometimes doubted, seeing how much work they do :-)

Xylo

@guntbert haha nice one

http://askubuntu.com/questions/397392/headphones-not-detected-in-13-10

What the hell

Braiam

22:54

freak, I hate chromium... why it doesn't allow me to use userscript... :(

Seth

@Braiam You need to trick it.

fossfreedom

@Braiam, @Seth - yes on both of your comments on the meta

Seth

But I find using Tampermonkey is easier.

Xylo

there is official chrome, you don't need chromium, but like it's based on opinions

Seth

@fossfreedom I'm not sure exactly what part/comment you are saying yes too.. but OK :)

@Xylo /me avoids most direct Google products

fossfreedom

22:56

@Seth yes - I will help out where I can

Seth

Cool :)

Xylo

@Seth it has it's negative effects

but eh

Seth

True.

Xylo

still better than IE

Braiam

@Takkat you think that this canned comment lack info? "Could you edit your question and provide more details? Like the Sound Card you are using? The output of pulseaudio --check, pulseaudio --dump-conf, amixer -c 0, pacmd dump-volumes and pactl info."?

Seth

22:58

Much better. I personally prefer FF myself, but can't use it for other reasons.

Xylo

I was using FF

but got into Chrome

using it for like 2.5-3 years now

or even 4

Braiam

/me uses iceweasel/fx mainly, but chromium for very specific tasks

Xylo

something among those lines

Seth

@fossfreedom This made me laugh one day:

Braiam

@fossfreedom can we close this one askubuntu.com/questions/232665

Seth

23:00

That was after the LQP queue went crazy.

I can't believe he spent that much time reviewing.

fossfreedom

@Braiam done

Seth

@Braiam That one lasted a long time

What happen to close votes expiring..

Xylo

Q: Integrated webcam won't work

Computer is a Acer Aspire M5-583P-6428. I can use Cheese to activate the webcam, and it takes pictures succesfully. As soon as I press "record a video", it crashes. It also won't load on Skype.

webcam

What about this one guys?

Takkat

@Braiam hmm - these commands if they run will only give us limited access to debug audio issues. Whenever there are issues all information gets tremendously lengthy. Then we need pastes of almost everything. I prefer default.pa and the output of pacmd list for the pulse side of issues.

fossfreedom

@Seth obviously Luis has the proverbial bit between his teeth :)

Braiam

23:02

btw, if someone wants to know the questions that has close votes data.stackexchange.com/ubuntu/query/50547/…

@Takkat you mean cat /etc/pulse/default.pa?

Takkat

@Braiam some people have their default.pa in ~/.pulse (but yes, it usually is in etc/pulse/)

fossfreedom

@Xylo prod the OP with some pointed questions - lets get details of his computer/traces of the error etc - then we can assess if its a bug or not

Braiam

tsk...

Takkat

the daemon rarely causes issues.

Xylo

jeez im like sitting chatting with elite of askubuntu
how did I get here

Takkat

23:06

Dragons and daemons rule the world - lets fight them :)

Xylo

haha @Takkat nice one

Takkat

@Xylo get blue too :P

my blue is not from AU however.

should I buy this?

Xylo

the .au

australian

Takkat

Ah takkat is always available, except .com

Xylo

well 30$ for 2 years

takkat.net?

Braiam

23:09

@Takkat 3rd level domain?

Takkat

I did not find it on first level .au ...

yeah takkat.net is a bit more expensive.

<-- wants it to have .au

Xylo

australian takkat, so cool

god please help me

Takkat

Xylo

"how to check"

Braiam

@Xylo solved...

Xylo

23:18

i gave up

when I saw "how to check"

Braiam

those problems are normally easy to solve... is just a matter of "forgot to install something"

Xylo

yeh

real problem

program told him what to do

@user3132152 please, do not spam comments, try to write everything you need to say in a single comment. — Braiam 19 secs ago

:/

Xylo

23:24

@Braiam let's take control over the world with these keys xD

Braiam

@Xylo those doesn't matter, he can change them again...

Xylo

my compilies perfectly when i compile it by using this command gcc main.c -o hello gtk-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 – user3132152 1 min ago

@Braiam yeh, cuz he's smart

he asks what to do

when program told him what to do

@Braiam review my edit please

ok, I'm out, going to sleep.

Cya

fossfreedom

@Braiam why the flag on that nginx answer?

Braiam

23:39

@fossfreedom he's asking for feedback, and poke here and there, instead of giving a definitive solution

may be the wording, but I really don't know how can that answer the question, and going for comments apparently the problem isn't solved either

fossfreedom

its a speculative answer of sorts - vote appropriately would be better here.

Braiam

he's (was?) active in SO, so he should know better how answer should be, tho

fossfreedom

true - I'll leave the flag for others to agree/disagree before acting on it.

@Braiam - do you have access to the pro-forma canned comments? It would be more than useful to see the comments as well as the flag - for all the mods and others reviewing as well. Thanks.
