@Braiam Alright, I'll remove it this last time. If you're going to keep getting into large arguments with moderators and users don't expect me to do it again though.
Stars are meant to be taken without context ;)
That's what they are there for.
which is why I hate it when someone abuses them (hint, hint)
@Braiam By leaving it. It will disappear in the next day or two. Do you know how many times I am tempted to say stuff in chat, and then I don't because I know it probably won't end well or someone might take it wrong? More than I can count.
@Andrew Please don't ask to ask; if you simply ask your actual question, we will help you if we know the answer or can help you find it. This is much faster and simpler than asking if it's OK to ask. As a rule, it is always OK to ask in this channel. Please go ahead. (not a bot)
Could anyone help this guy: askubuntu.com/questions/442152/… I am on a tablet and I'm unable to make him understand how to cd to the directory where he downloaded the driver... And in my timezone bed time has looking come!
bugs are still off-topic - new functionality is on-topic. Yeah we tend to start relaxing about new release questions - just a few weeks now to release.
Wait what? Is there a reason it's getting the axe? Copyright/sharing issues? Profitabililty (not enough buy-in for more space beyond default)? Any ideas?
Neat. At least they're open sourcing it. It would be neat if someone did a distributed Sync encrypted backup where people's storage space is determined by how much local disk they allocate to acting as a backup for others. That would be a huge layer to write, but it would be awesomesauce.
I mean... I guess that's more like a layer on top of bittorrent instead of a layer underneath of Ubuntu One, but you see where I'm going.
I have Linaro UBUNTU installed in an UDOO Quad single board PC. The time zone is wrong. When I try to set it, I am asked for a password.
This system just boots up, never asking for a password. Is there a default password? How can I set the time?
@fossfreedom Well, conceptually it would be contingent on any give replication site holding a whole sync target... so you could see how many times your data is replicated and part of the service would be a challenge/response for a random section of the data. That way you could confirm that they still have the file. Would be theoretically more reliable, but I suppose someone could hold your data hostage. I still think it's an interesting idea.
@Seth Ubuntu terminated the non-touch arm-build that had a GUI at 13.04 IIRC. There's still an ARM server build, but they have specific hardware lists. Linaro is something of a re-spin from what I can tell.
@Seth @Braiam why not leave that closed as dupe, and unclose but lock "historical significance" the original and field "I'ld really like to add an answer for something that's more like timemachine" as a "I've got a decent amount of rep and have a REALLY GOOD answer that should be in there"
That assumes the user in question will use Google and that dropping a link to SR in the AU page won't also propel it there keeping it in both sitesearch and google. Sounds like you made up your mind already though since you're just disregarding the sitesearch point I keep making and pointing to Google only.
Lubuntu - LXDE fake compositing if you enable it (doesn't chain window layers, just grabs desktop background to fake composite), Xubuntu - XFCE + compiz for multiple window real transparency
Am I the only one that thinks game developers that do themed games (like thief) should have an "extra ten bucks" option where you can get the previous games in the series with minor updates to run on the current engine? I mean you probably used most of the same theme models, textures, and sounds. Wouldn't it be nice and provide an additional revenue stream that probably outweighs the effort to get it updated?
@Lucio Say you bought some version of Doom years ago. You have way more bad guys now, but all of the old ones sort of exist in the new game. Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to pay ten more bucks to get the old maps running on the new engine? I'ld pay ten bucks for nostalgia sake and having it running on the new engine. That's a weak example since that series spans SO much time, but other examples would be the Thief series, the AC series, CoD, Neverwinter Nights.
Any game engine where the engine had significant improvements, and you would find playing through the old game on the updated engine fun.
I noticed in a AU post today that a usercard was clipped on the right, cutting off the user's bronze-badges count:

@AvinashRaj The {$0=$2""$1} changes the current line ($0) to be the 2nd field followed by the 1st. The 7 is just an awk trick, since integers evaluate as true, it just makes it print. It is the equivalent of '/^[1-5][A-L]$/{$0=$2""$1}{print}'
It only really matters if the new engine would significantly improve the previous game experience or let you play it a) in wine current blaghety blah because the old engine is too old b) on an updated version of windows where some random game engine doesn't run on new versions of windows (i've seen both)
The upside is almost all the textures, characters, rigs, scripts, and the engine/game-logic are already built. For most games it's just maps or quest logic.
@Lucio i know. it's a joke on the whatsapp/chat acquisition thing. the correlation i draw there is teamspeak or out of band team communication so it's not in game (for the "as a gamer" perspective). see what i meant?
@Lucio when playing multi-player games, team-mates often aren't allowed to speak to each other silently or after their character dies. so they take communication out of band on some other service to give their team an unfair advantage. so "as a gamer" i read that as out of band communication joke instead of a whatsapp acquisition joke. then i pointed out that i play single player more for reasons like that.
@Lucio that's a use of it, but in band and out of band... wait, did you google it and read a wiki or are you inferring? the inferred meaning from that statement might not be 100% accurate.
From the wiki "Out-of-band refers to activity, such as communications, outside of an established band. Originally from the telecommunications concept of band but now also applied to other fields metaphorically." <-- I was using it metaphorically.
I have a minimal ubuntu as a linux server. It starts many scripts on startup that is ok but i want to disable tty1 to echo everything to display
When i start this server a login promt is presented on tty1 and I want the display to be clear so nobody can see what is being typed into.

well, the ta-lib ppa went dead when gcc-4.6 and multiarch look like they borked the configure script. launchpad.net/~mario-mariomedina/+archive/talib any thoughts on whether to get up with the old maintainer about a packaged build that just works or stuff it in my own ppa?
When editing an authorised_keys file in Nano, I want to wrap long lines so that I can see the end of the lines (i.e tell whose key it is). Essentially I want it to look like the output of cat authorised_keys

@Braiam Definitely a joke, yes: "ClosedStack launch partners include the governments of North Korea, Iran and Cuba. Dick Cheney has been appointed temporary Chairman until the next foundation elections which will take place on May 22nd on Pyongyang, North Korea."
Hello I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and my friend also has Ubuntu 12. 04, he does not have internet so I want to send my apps to his computer (apps that I have downloaded from software center). So how can I send apps downloaded from software center to his Ubuntu computer. Please explain to me and don'...
Heh, hardly, the're supporting Win98, BeOS for "backward-looking" IT departments and offer a usb stick enclosed in concrete. It is obviously a joke if you read the whole text, only seems serious in the first few lines.
I never got the whole ubuntu one thing, I hate bundled apps like that. Too integrated with the OS and too linked to me. If I want online storage, I'll get it thank you.
I am running Ubuntu and network manager. I have two different interfaces, eth0 and eth1. Network manager has (as far as I can tell) correctly added this manual route:

I manage to install Ubuntu on my laptop using USB drive. On installation it asked me whether to keep Ubuntu and Windows 8 both in the system and everything went well.
But at the end it prompted me to restart the computer. Now I cant get into Ubuntu again. If I use the usb drive it tries to re in...
@Rinzwind Yes, but Ubuntu? Unless they've removed it from the kernel, the ntfs3g should be included. I'm asking because of your screenshot which seems ti imply it's not.
@Rinzwind Absolutely, your answer makes perfect sense, I was not critiquing it. Just wondering whether the module itself is included in the default Ubuntu, I;m guessing that the resize tools the OP requires are indeed in the package you mentioned. Just wondering about the module.
I've set up NSD with the following zone file:
