I'm just sick about Mozilla right now.
What a messed up company.
I thought they were all for an "open" web. I guess I was wrong.
@NathanOsman what now?
Eich stepped down as Mozilla CEO.
Because people got mad about his personal opinions. Which is silly.
(unless I misread something)
@NathanOsman he preferred to stop the scandal, it wasn't new, in 2008 they did the same
Why the sudden influx of 14.04 questions?
01:41
Why should a tech company be getting involved in personal matters? It makes no sense. I'm really really upset with Mozilla right now.
@Seth No, you read it right. He was a brilliant person too, so they lost a good man.
@NathanOsman they didn't, press, media, internet'z did
@Braiam But he stepped down partly due to pressure from within the company.
Apparently some of the board members were even resigning.
@NathanOsman beat us
@searchfgold6789 I dunno.. Most people have upgraded I guess. Most of us in here have ;P
@NathanOsman :(
I've upgraded.
I've been running 14.04 since about two weeks ago.
01:45
It's surprisingly stable.

I'm not sure how close to being an actual simulator it is; I've never been a goat and none of the goats I tried to speak to for this piece were very forthcoming (goats have very strict public relations officers). But living in the West Country I've seen plenty of outlandish goat behaviour, so I’d say Goat Simulator is around 95% accurate.
First upgrade that I didn't have to mess with my drivers.
225MB of updates to install.
@Braiam What's with goats lately?
@Seth check the room, I pasted goat simulator Q in UL room
01:47
@Braiam Ah.
I will dutifully wait until the little notification pops up on Monitor #1 during my English assignment. Then I will promptly scramble for a usable thumb drive, and not finding one, will rob one from my sister. The installation will ensue, followed by several hours of adjustments, package installations, and configuration resulting in a color scheme I will be 99.98% happy with for about 2 months. (meh KDE).
And then, the Radeon card driver installation which will be accompanied by many swear words sounding similar to the package name for the same.
haha. You do a fresh install every time?
For LTS, and then I just do the upgrade for every normal release. Keeps things smooth.
That's actually a good plan. I do a fresh re-install every once in a while. I planned on doing one this time but didn't since everything worked so great.
btw, some of you might be interested in this:

Q: Alternative to Ubuntu One (client and service) that can run automated backups?

SethRecently Canonical announced that it is shutting down the Ubuntu One service. I'm looking for a cloud storage service/client pair that: Will run scheduled, automated, backups of my home folder and other folders I specify. Has a Linux client (I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 if it matters). Is ...

Since Canonical is shutting down U1.
@Seth ????????????!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

@Seth: How about Copy?

Q: How do I determine where DNS requests fail in the TCP stack?

ReinderienI have the networking setup described here: Why is this static route not taking effect? Currently, I can ping my DNS server but all DNS requests fail: ~$ ping 130.35.249.52 PING 130.35.249.52 (130.35.249.52) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 130.35.249.52: icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=105 ms 64 by...

They fit pretty much all of your criteria - they have a Linux client.
Dropbox? :\\
Stay tuned for an answer.
02:12
@searchfgold6789 Yep. Link in the post.
@searchfgold6789 I'm not a fan of dropbox, but if they have a good linux client that meets the criteria it's an answer.
@Braiam lol.
@NathanOsman Seems like you missed a bit in your answer. "cron job run locally on your computer and simply dump the f" and then it ends.
I'll look into copy though.
@Braiam So you're saying that it was just a link to libav for a while and now they just plain removed it?
02:33
Eh?
@Seth Fixed. No idea why that got truncated.
Thanks!
Wat.
Does this look like spam to anyone but me?
Totally spam. Flagged accordingly.
02:47
alright. That's what I thought.
taken care of accordingly.
03:26
Hey guys, help me with this one.
In other topic, have Wikipedia changed their Fonts?
@Oli, I can earn +10k rep here ROFL
just by logging in to all the sites
Good Morning \o/
I think I just missflagged a question.
Sorry, groggy eyes :P

I hate when books are far from me when I need them
I can answer this.
bets is a duplicated
04:13
In DB is hard to find a dupe.
And no, it is no.
that is awful
It's... long...
lol
too long
That query have more characters than the db itself.
Is there a chat room for DBA.se?

You know that pretty much every user agent can be spoofed right? — Braiam 1 min ago
> News! 2011-Dec-18: Version 0.97.2 has been released.
hum...
Oh gosh, I'm developing a project called "Scheduling Task" and now I found this:
At least I am not infringing trademark names :/
04:59
Isn't there a inbuilt translator in firefox?
@AdityaPatil I think no
If I try Ubuntu 64 bit and 32 bit using usb drive(same drive) and test it and I find that, say 64 bit works faster than 32 bit in the live run.Then will 64 bit be faster than 32 bit even when it will be installed to HDD?
05:16
Yes.
Although there is likely to be very little difference in performance between the two architectures.
good night people
@Lucio: Good night.

Q: inotifywait not working when folder is deleted and re-created

oshirowanenI am trying to use inotifywait to monitor a folder: inotifywait -m -r /home/oshiro/Desktop/work_folder The command works and if I create files in that folder, all seems to work correctly.

Q: How do I understand Boot Repair log?

DanatelaI'd like to be more helpful in situations when people post their Boot Repair logs but it's contents not always clear for me. To become more enlightened I'd like to see answers on these questions: What commands are run to gather system information and what's their purpose? What's the best practi...

@Dan yes :=)
@Danatela why ask about bootlog on meta? Meta is for questions on how to use AU, not on how to use a tool in Ubuntu
Dan
Dan
@Danatela I'll probably ask it later on meta, just too lazy at this instant :P
@Rinzwind But wouldn't it become like any other package that can be asked about?
@Rinzwind should I ask it on main site instead?
@Danatela yes if worded as a problem ;-)
Dan
Dan
ah nevermind, once it's shut down, the storage servers will be off so it will no longer work at all so yeah I guess OT is probably the way to go. :P
09:03
@Dan no since this will be removed from the system (I guess this means someone that installs 12.04 will no longer have it installed too)
(so only users that installed it prior to removing it will have it installed)
yeah I agree: it will be the easiest way to approach this :D
(besides the normal: so U1 is gone what do I use now? questions we will get that already have a dupe)
@Rinzwind, but I think there should be an instruction on how to help people and don't know how to reword it as a problem

Q: Where can I find openbox logs?

HaloxI have a multi head openbox setup with fglrx as my drive. I chosen openbox from the gnome login screen of 12.10. My openbox crashes when I click to desktop left or right, but this does not happens always but rarely. Yet loosing all desktop if pretty irritating. Where can I find crash log of t...

i have written a big tutorial on takkat's idea(self discovered) and I can't post it, why?????
@AdityaPatil I rather than a "tutorial" just answer the question at hand
Why can't I post the answer? what are the possible reasons?
It should tells you "why"
No it isn't, just the Post you answer is lightened
4 images is too much?
I would say why images in first place
13:52
Mitch marked it duplicate!!!!
Mitch will win this fight >:)
Why did @mitch answer the question? he could have marked it dup at first.
@AdityaPatil me? Ideas? That's new ;)
@Takkat I created a pirated(Unless your ideas are GNU GPL) version of your idea
<-- bloody work here I miss all the good
ah - now I see that.... there was very little magic to that idea.

speaking of images and such, found this yesterday (not mine, nor do i have any affiliation with its creator) but I think it deserves some recognition :P

Q: Lets clean up U1 images

BraiamWell, Ubuntu One is being shutdown and all the information will be deleted so that means that all our posts that use U1 images instead of imgur will be lost. Below there's a link that would search some of them. Remember that there are also text files that needs to be included in the posts or reup...

@Dan now if they had also converted this to a vector SVG it may be even better :)
@Braiam Why does the url in meta post search "some of them" and not all?
@AdityaPatil because search sucks, and I should instead use SEDE and do a query
14:15
@Braiam we could use google
@AdityaPatil I answered before noticing the Dup. Answer deleted.
@Mitch OK.tell me, where to upload files? this ubuntuone.com/6djZAI8Ykkp9W5lGmHzMLS file needs to be uploaded elsewhere.
and here is the post askubuntu.com/a/193722/184942
You can try DropBox.
@AdityaPatil just copy the link, click "upload image", then use "From the web" paste the link, tada!
Dan
Dan
it's not an image
14:21
@Braiam someone can automate that for images :=)
@Dan everything is an image :=)
@Rinzwind @Braiam It's not image. it's a shared file of about 9 kb
@AdityaPatil it's text?
@AdityaPatil as I said: everthing is an image >:D files are images too <:D
googledrive might be an option too
Dan
Dan
@Rinzwind well how would you upload it to imgur? :p
if you use gmail and android on your phone storing files with them should not be a problem
14:24
@Rinzwind 42?
@Dan they only accept images ending with jpg png or gif so rename the file _O-
(lol)
Dan
Dan
@Rinzwind Tried that, doesn't work :p
@AdityaPatil 10? not 42?
Dan
Dan
i believe the answer to everything is 42, not everything is 42 :p
there is the ninja!
@Dan tell that to imgur maybe they accept that as a valid reason >:-D
14:26
@Rinzwind 42?
@AdityaPatil tsk.
Dan
Dan
yep 42

I remembered a nice joke." There are 10 type of people in world, those who know binary and those who don't "

That is not a joke. It is A Truth.
and when quantum computing is active it will be "There are 11 type of people in world, those who know binary and those who don't and those who are in doubt".

Does the issue in this question still exist? Someone who uses juju needs to check it and if the issue has died, we could close the question.
Hello!
@Dan WHAT?
Will U1 go off?

Dan
15:01
@Lucio yep
And Its code will be released as open source after than

who offers 25-50 GB storage? canonical says that others do so.
You can get 1T for free for pictures
Dan
Dan
I have 50GB from Box for free
My backup implementation is based on U1.

Canonical is shutting down the Ubuntu One file services. Make sure you get your files off before June.

@Seth What does the star on that message mean? Why is it different than the others?
some special announcement moderator super duper mega star?
even if we don't star it, will be on top

@Dan: it's a pin star. That stays on the wall for a week or two
Dan
Dan
aha ok
16:10
A Drive gives you 50GB free.
16:21
@Mitch Do they have a Linux client?
@Mitch So does box
> i have been running trusty since the first alpha release, pulling daily updates.
16:23
I remember, there was a invite only offer
@AvinashRaj We aren't closing trusty questions anymore.
so now trusty questions are become ontopic.
@AvinashRaj Pretty much yep. As long as it isn't a bug.
@MinatoNamikaze That only gets me 10...
@Seth It expired after 3 tries. It used to get you 50 :P
16:26
Ah. So you only do get 10 ;)
retracted
@Seth I can give you 50 if you'd like
just tell me your box id
@MinatoNamikaze Hmm. Maybe someday I'll take advantage of that :P
But I'm not ready to atm.
It is free for me. xD
@Seth No Linux client or other client for that matter, its web based.
16:30
Oh.
Dan
Dan
you can mount box as a directory in ubuntu, there is a question about that here in askubuntu, 1 sec

Q: Mount your Box account or sync a folder with it

SPSI'd want Box Cloud storage as automatically mounted in Ubuntu or sync this with a folder in my Home. For the first one, I followed this tutorial but when I restarted I tried to mount but it says: /sbin/mount.davfs: Mounting failed. 302 Found For the second one I created a folder in my Home, ...

they offer a webdav solution
@Mitch why you close this askubuntu.com/questions/443086/… ?
i think it's not version dependent one.
I already provide answer for a question similar to the above.

@Seth you upvoted this answer ^^
maybe.. maybe not ;)
it's actually a bounty question.But the op forget about that. So i didn't get 50 rep bounty for the above answer.

16:44
@terdon What can i do to restrict my hands from upvoting your answer?
Testing
ok it works
cool!
I just earned enough to chat and I wanted to see what it is all about...

Enjoy your stay at the Stack Exchange Enrichment Center
Can someone throw a comments as answers comment on this answer?
@MinatoNamikaze ???
@Dan nice :-)
@AvinashRaj Nothing I hope :) WHat do you mean?
@ElliotLabs He's just trying to make a joke.
16:48
@Seth oh ok... lol
Good explanation :-)
@terdon
This chat center is cool! I will return when I have a new question! thanks!
\o @Aditya
@AvinashRaj The OP stated that it worked in 13.10, but not in 14.04, and hence its OT.
@Braiam: What's the rationale for making the images smaller in this question? Smaller images makes it difficult to comprehend what the image is all about...
@Seth Hi
@Seth Are you still dual-booting your smartphone - Windows-cum-Android?
16:53
@Mitch hmm, i already put my answer's link as a comment on that question.So no probs :-)
@Aditya It's still around here somewhere.. I never used it as a phone, just as a tinkering device.
We get into the finals :-)
@Aditya I'm with Braiam on this one, larger images make it hard to view on small sceens/phones and it takes longer to load. The image is perfectly clear when smaller.
@AvinashRaj Yup...
The development on the Android half kinda fell apart I think.. but it still works.. slowly.
16:54
@ElliotLabs It's a Portal Joke :)
@terdon Then I need an eye-checkup I guess... But on my desktop it becomes difficult to comprehend, one needs to make an effort - specially for Roland's answer
@terdon Following that logic we'd have to make all images smaller.. That makes no sense.
@terdon stackoverflow.com/a/22859981/3297613 in this answer, command i gave was successfully extecuted but it says N: Unable to locate package {} at the end. How do i remove that?
@terdon I suggest you use Opera Max.
Depends on the image. Personally, since the imgur gives three sizes automatically, I'll use the smallest that is legible.
16:56
@AvinashRaj Done.
It would be cool if SE could auto make the images smaller on mobile though.
They do!
@Seth Just add an s or m to the image name before the extension.
@MinatoNamikaze What's that? And they look fine on my screen, I was thinking of phones.
@terdon Yeah I know about that.
@terdon It's this app that compresses all non-secure traffic on a phone
@MinatoNamikaze Ah cool.
16:58
Acts like a local VPN
@AvinashRaj {} is not default, you need the -I {} for xargs to work with it.
It does wonders on a 3G connection :P
BBT
Good Night
apt-cache search all | awk -F' - ' '{ print $1}' | grep terminal | xargs -I {} apt-cache show {}

why was my flag declined to clean the comments here? askubuntu.com/questions/173094/…
I don't have the capacity to tell you 100%, but people take not so kindly to deleting of their comments. So, most of the time flagging of comments is for really long troubleshooting conversations in comments or arguments that got really out of control.
Dan
Dan
I only flagged them, because they were somewhat redundant since the content of the comments were added to the answer later on
I've cleaned them up. Dunno why the flag was declined. Sorry about that.
Dan
Dan
cool, no problems

@Dan you got lots of problems :=)

@Aditya what is the rationale to make 40% of the post height composed of images?
@terdon is this still unclear for you? askubuntu.com/q/442535/169736
@AvinashRaj why this is OT? askubuntu.com/q/442535/169736
anyone have any thoughts on this:
I might move the how to install ffmpeg from ppa to the end. As a "If you're really in to swimming against the tide, and you already read all these things... then you can do this." Instead of putting it all the way at the front. Like, encourage using things that are in main/uni/multi if you can avoid PPAs. — hbdgaf 43 secs ago
is 14.04 released, or still beta

banks are paying exorbitant fees to microsoft to keep their ATMs up and running...

@Seth will you add 14.04 tag to all questions that has somewhere 14.04 even if the version number has nothing to do?
