@Braiam Know an answer to that?
yup

Nope :-/
maybe I can help, if it's within my powers privileges

Nope.. Migration.
You could throw a close vote on this askubuntu.com/q/409893/44179 however
fdisk requires sudo right?
err... for internal media
I always throw sudo, tho
alright
media mounted by umount in userspace don't require sudo, media mounted at boot by init needs sudo
blkid doesn't need sudo, neither mount without parameters
I just want fdisk -l
use sudo
04:31
right.

Q: How to fix crashing kdenlive?

O_O
@AmithKK that is in my permanent awesomesauce response list
07:07
really, that was epic
@Mateo - fixed the config window disappearing. It didn't really need all the hints stuff disabled. It was just a side-effect of starting from something that was meant to be driven from a keyboard and turning it in to something you can drive either way.

Q: Old questions that are now irrelevant or even completely wrong?

Jo-Erlend SchinstadI just came across this old question about Spotify: Cannot get Spotify to run. Back in 2011, we needed Premium accounts to use the Linux-version. That's no longer the case. So, what do we do with these? It's obviously not a good thing if we have lots of wrong answers.

Q: How should Ask Ubuntu handle old questions and answers?

OliAsk Ubuntu will be 4 this year and as we toddle off into the future, we leave a trail of posts behind us. Some are historically excellent, some were never that good and never got answered, and some have answers that no longer apply [to a problem that might still exist]. We've just had a couple o...

read it just before you posted this :) nice one
no idea how SE deals with it (or even if they do :D ) but we might be helped with a moderator only option to mass close topics based on TAGs. That way it is possible to close all questions with no answer that are tagged 6.06 or dapper
Oli
Oli
Our version tagging isn't very consistent. They're automatically removed on sight by some reviewers. And not used by all users.
True but it would be a start :-)
2100 topics with 10.10
wow it goes down quick with 9.10 and 9.04 :D
hmm forget my idea
so it might be better based on a date
Oli
Oli
I'm hoping somebody at SE can suggest something less destructive and a whole lot more automated... Like adding some sort of banner to any questions that are over a certain age. We can't be the only site with these sorts of problems emerging.

@AvinashRaj even more after we did not recommend a backup... it's a Russian Roulette for the drive ;)
but whoever clutters their drives in such a way may love this game :P
I hope @Oli is happy, answered 2 out 6 of those old questions
(better don't show @Takkat his own drive D:)
those were the days - sigh - when questions were real questions
@Braiam :) - I never show people my drive for similar reasons.
I really should have used LVM... I have like 10GB that can't use due being at the start/middle of the extended partition and the swaps are in the way :/

<-- has four drives of various ages for his box
Plan was to have a spare drive from where we could continue after the main drive fails... but now they all are filled up with clutter.

Q: Where does Kali Linux mount smb shares

shanIn Ubuntu I've noticed that smb shares are stored in /home/{user}/.gvfs directory. But In Kali there is nothing in this folder. So where is the smb share folder in Kali. I've searched possible places like /mnt, /media. But I haven't found it. Could you please help me out?

@Mahesh oi, the user day on LP is today?
Tomorrow. :)
oh yep. Silly Google sending me text one day early.
Hahahah. Change your default setting.
Thanks for the reminder. I need to polish the transcript I prepared.
i have a bunch of reminders actually. 1 day / 6 hours / 1 hour on each event :P
And also ping some people in the classroom-backstage.
17:04
because i got accustomed to being nagged at that i can't live without it now
Oh.
My reminders are selective. depending on event.
i ignore most reminders anyway. :/
Half an hour early for meetings when I'm likely to be idle/ in room before that, ten minutes for meetings in same building, an hour for unusual times, one day for assignments and two or so days for assignments. :P
I'm probably overdoing it, but meh, got used to it.
i too sign up for a bunch of things but never follow up :(

@jokerdino Should we migrate that somewhere --^
Amateur Radio said they would probably take it.. and don't know about Unix & Linux.

How does dconf load work? I'm trying to get it to load things from an xml file..
Whatever I try I get stuck with a > prompt.. and can't figure out what I'm missing.
@Seth I think that the problem was that we allowed THIS> askubuntu.com/q/14592/169736
> Populate a subpath from stdin
oh my.
it expect you to do so...
you maybe want to pipe the stuff using cat file.xml | dconf load /
I'm not sure that would work.. I backed this stuff up with dconf dump /org/gnome/gnome-panel/
lol, I did dconf dump / | dconf load /
in that case is dconf load /org/gnome/gnome-panel/
18:18
dconf load /org/gnome/gnome-panel/ $(cat panel-backup.xml) just gives me > again.
Nope. It just gives me nothing and doesn't do anything.
It just sits like that...
@Seth err... I didn't use $(cat ) way, but cat file | dconf otherwise the pipe will not work
use this cat panel-backup.xml | dconf load /org/gnome/gnome-panel/
the output of cat will be piped to dconf stdin
@Braiam that worked lol. I almost did that, but I thought the pipe wouldn't work quite like that. Thanks :)

Good morning people
@AmithKK I know what is it before open it, the revolutionary one for sure
It received a lot of attention, from geeks and press.
@jrg nothing really, I did a fork for some unknown reason, that was all.

I'll abstain from asking about the health status of this OP.

You used the word semantic 8 times!
am guessing it has something to do with sea men?!?!?

Semantics, semantics.
Lol
Yeah am done with prism-break layout is shit
@Mateo - Yes.
cool
@jrg oh, that is why i didn't notice ;)
Looks like we have a full house in here, that's cool :)
@Mateo Also, I found a python userspace keylogger to use for getting all keystrokes instead of depending on window having focus or having to deal with clashing hotkeys.
Now I just have to figure out inter-thread callbacks, so I'm not polling a queue constantly. I know how to do it with queues and and the threading module, but I'm not so sure on using Glib.idle_add with queues. Pretty sure that's how you're supposed to do it. Just haven't actually had to do that before.
How does one set a string value to NULL in gsettings? I must be doing it wrong.
21:58
\x00 maybe?
Oh, [""] worked.
@hbdgaf I'll have to try that.
it's just a null terminator... so it should work in theory
errno is probably a copy paste from the terminal. i've seen that. it wasn't snark... if that's what you're asking.
@hbdgaf I was just trying to figure out if it was "error number" abbreviated or not.
22:09
it is.
ok I'll change it back

Either Amateur Radio or Unix & Linux I'd think.
I'm guessing it's an Ubuntu problem not an amateur radio problem. He probably has his mic on mute and his output channel needs to be mono instead of stereo or something.
It's EOL, but if we migrated an EOL question we'ld be migrating crap.

@Seth did you voted to dupe?
@Braiam, is this cool or do you have any other suggestions?
23:16
@Mateo - do you want a website for the tool as it progresses?
@blade19899 err... yeah, that those links doesn't have the information I referenced...
@Braiam Both links now redirect to the current one. And the canonical doesn't show a search bar. So can't search for assurance terms :/
