@hbdgaf hm, maybe looks like someone is keeping a ppa up ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/03/…

CBenni

Uh, if I have a program running in a ssh window

and I kill the ssh connection, does that cancel the program?

hbdgaf

Yes. This is why people use screen.

CBenni

uuuh, whats that then :D

Essentially GNU Screen is a windowing system for the console.

interesting.

Jorge Castro

use tmux, not screen

it's much better, maintained, etc.

hbdgaf

^^ yes, tmux is better.

my gray was showing... sorry.

CBenni

22:13

any way to install tmux via apt-get?`

Ubuntu Questions on U&L

Q: java plugin does not work in chromium-browser (all possible attempts exhausted)

I was using google chrome browser on Ubuntu 12.04 machine, recently I needed to switch to chromium-browser. I am using the version that is available on the Ubuntu software centre. The problem is that I can't make java applets to load any more. Here is my situation -- I am using vanilla jdk (j...

CBenni

or do I have to download the zip archive from sourceforge, upload it to my server and then install it there?

hbdgaf

schadenfreude@oubliette:~$ apt-cache search tmux
tmux - terminal multiplexer

yes... evidently there is...

CBenni

mmmh

root@CBenni:~# apt-get tmux
E: Invalid operation tmux

hbdgaf

anyone use one of those dual drive esata docking ports? I just got one and man is it effed up... whichever drive I plug in first, it intercepts and lies claiming the drive has a wonky firmware revision that does not support ncq, 6 gbps, or correctly return SMART info

Jorge Castro

I have a single drive one that works pretty decently

psusi

23:03

I got the rosewil dual port one and it looks like I'm going to have to return it

without the one drive supporting NCQ, the performance goes to hell when you access both drives at the same time.. and the SMART monitoring is kind of important too

Q: Ubuntu ISO Download source

Usually when I download a Ubuntu ISO from Ubuntu.com, I got it from *.Ubuntu.com path, a while ago; when I started the 14.04 Download, I got redirected to http://d3g7pb956c5s5x.cloudfront.net/ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso Is there any change in Ubuntu Back-ends? or this just temporarily for the...

hey

hi guys please help me with this :( askubuntu.com/questions/449235/browsing-is-painfully-slow

i've tried everything

Mateo

hm, using wireless?

mrSuperEvening

no. and my internet connection is very good.

everything else runs so smoothly

Mateo

hm, anything else change - new router, different cable hooked up. Maybe if it is the program try reinstalling the program?

mrSuperEvening

23:16

i came home for spring break and I use parents' internet, but they have so much better internet than what I have

but it started here

Mateo

do you have the connection on auto - any dns changes ( I set mine to google's dns 8.8.8.8 with dchp for the address)

mrSuperEvening

@Mateo I am sorry, I don't know how to check it...

mojo706

@Mateo know of a way to reset terminal to default colors? I messed mine up

Mateo

@mojo706 good question

mrSuperEvening

@mojo706 add this to /home/yourusername/.bashrc

export PS1='\[\033[00;35m\]\u\[\033[00m\]@\[\033[00;35m\]\H\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[00;33m\]\W\[\033[00m\] \$\[\033[00;34m '

mojo706

23:20

Im using zsh as default terminal

Mateo

@mojo706 aw, and I just took this screenshot:

mrSuperEvening

@Mateo where can I check it?

mojo706

mine looks like some natural disaster

mrSuperEvening

maybe i need to update dns or something i don't know

mojo706

ok I'll use the long route continue as you were

Mateo

23:24

@mrSuperEvening up on the network thing - edit connections - auto ethernet - edit - ipv4 settings - click the box that says "Automatic (DCHP)" go to the next one for addresses only - then enter 8.8.8.8 in the "DNS servers" box to try the google dns

hbdgaf

i never use router based dhcp. the router always chokes for software that tries to auto-resolve high numbers of connections. skip the cache and just use real dns.

Mateo

that should rule out if the dns is the problem, I have known some routers not like even giving dns to some machines

hbdgaf

yeah, and it's common. it's like burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me, burn me three times youtube.com/watch?v=2YY0xw5r1ro

Andrew

Is it "Gnome-Shell" or "Gnome Shell"?

mrSuperEvening

holy shit I think it became faster

what about ipn6?

Mateo

23:29

@hbdgaf yep, the router at our church can't handle more than 10-15 devices, so I set a static address and a dns.

@mrSuperEvening don't worry about that

@mrSuperEvening bet the dns the internet company gave you was congested ;)

mrSuperEvening

@Mateo yeah, I think it definitely sped up! thank you! any other things I should know or try?

so it was slow because my ISP was taking too long to get DNS data?

Braiam

I use OpenDNS + filtering for myself

mojo706

hbdgaf

When I was setting up for people that didn't like Google, I used the 4.4. ones.

mrSuperEvening

i am an idiot and i don't understand anything. why can't ISP get correct DNS data fast?

Braiam

23:35

@mrSuperEvening money...

and they are not geeky

Mateo

@mrSuperEvening I view it as a "translator" you type - www.blahblahblah.com - It has to find that domain name and get you to the right place, So everyone on you Internet compyany using the same dns's at certain times.... so a slow dns and just opening webpages gets slow ~ close enough in my analogy?

Braiam

+ idiotic routers dns

mrSuperEvening

damn you all know so much and i know nothing

awesome, everything's so fast now

mojo706

@hey everyone's been there

and @Braiam can be intimidating with his level of knowledge

Braiam

@mojo706 nah, I only know only the important bits

mojo706

23:48

@Braiam then there must be a tonne of important bits :)

Andrew

Does Unity requires 3D graphics card and hardware acceleration to run

mojo706

what unity is this you are enquiring about?

Andrew

If you cannot run Unity 3D, your machine should still be able to run the 2D version of Unity. They are very similar aside from minor differences in appearance, and that you might get better performance while running Unity 2D.

I am updating some infoation about... on here

mojo706

carry on
