falconer

Yeah, I think they failed miserably with their spamming, but it looks like he thinks it was a success

RolandiXor

4:16 PM

@falconer he thinks it was awesome and amazing. Like a desert storm bombing...

falconer

everyone is happy now, that is good

RolandiXor

@nixveloper what on earth is a "hard-force" test?

I think you mean "brute-force" and it certainly doesn't work like that AFAIK.

hello

I need to install Ubuntu Gnome on a new partition of my disk. Since I already have another Ubuntu partition with working GRUB, is there a way not to install it? Thank you.
PS: no, I can't install ubuntu-gnome metapackage because i need to install gnome 3.10, which screws up unity

falconer

@user1763514 If you choose Something else at the install I think it asks for where to install grub, you can disable it there. If I'm wrong, then just run sudo update-grub from your old install and it will overwrite the newly installed grub.

@nixveloper, lame.

Got the spammers under control?

RolandiXor

Well I'm off for now. Going to get some things done and waste some time elsewhere.

jokerdino

@slm What spammers? :)

slm

@Braiam - said you guys were getting spammed by new Q's

over on the U&L chat room, was just coming to see what was up

jokerdino

@slm that spamming was not literal

slm

@jokerdino - I missed the smile at the end

so things are under control then?

usually they move from site to site so just seeing if we need to be paying extra attention

jokerdino

4:56 PM

@slm it has been swept under the mat.

slm

good to hear. What method did you guys use to deal w/ them, flag as spam, continuous DV'ing so that community would auto delete?

jokerdino

invoke several mods and destroy the account at first sight

Alvar

oo the good old spammers are back. love marriage <3 :) not the new I wanna be a mod

jokerdino

link?

Alvar

@jokerdino removed.

slm

4:59 PM

@jokerdino - OK so you just had mods watching the new accts and Q's being spun up and deleted as they were.

jokerdino

@slm quite.

slm

@jokerdino - OK, good luck!

Q: Is there a way to see only questions related to my favourite tags?

From time to time I middle click all my tags to open them in new tabs and go look for some questions that I might be able to answer. I know that outside of this tags it is almost impossible for me to give a nice answer to someone. Is it possible to see only questions related to my favourite tags...

Q: chrubuntu questions - on-topic or off-topic?

This question relates to this Q on the main site: Chrubuntu terminal issue Having done the traditional "google search" (other providers may be used) I came across this blog post that describes chrubuntu and how to install it. http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/chrubuntu-one-script-...
