@JorgeCastro done
delete the "2nd post"?
yeah just flag it
nice!
you can also always trim out the "thanks" and if they sign their name too, since the site autosigns it for them anyway
stole my edit again! (kidding)
you can probably get the whole 1000rep from just removing thanks, names, and "ubuntu 11.10" stuff from the titles
@JorgeCastro FYI, if an author needs an answer merged into the question We have a button for thatâ„¢
21:15
wait, WHAT?
that sounds awesome!
Yeah, we have "Convert to edit" button for answers posted by the original author
I've flagged a few of those :P

Thought I'd do a clean install of Oneric because I didn't trust the upgrade, but I'm facing a few problems already - something is disabling the mouse/trackpad of my laptop, I think it's Thunderbird... (happened each time I was deleting emails)
@MarcoCeppi ooooh, that looks nice
I will flag em from now on!
21:18
I keep forgetting we have it, since everyone does a good job of performing the actions of the button :) Hopefully, now that we're so busy - this'll save people some time.

@JorgeCastro @brunopereira81 Yeah, I did that a lot. Until I hit 2K.
Then, I didn't get +2 rep from edits anymore. :(
!!! I already have 2k! dont I get more rep anymore?
@JorgeCastro I feel tricked!
jrg

@brunopereira81 Do tag wikis!
I did a lot of those, and there are still a lot of tags that don't have very good wikis (if at all)
@jrg I'm still getting rep. from tag wiki edits.
jrg
jrg
Cool. I stopped tag wiki edits, don't have the time anymore. :P
21:27
what are tag wikis edits?
@brunopereira81 Edits to wikis for a certain tag.
nice, thx
Er... my flag weight is '518.3176'...?
Why the fraction?
@jrg fine thx, I'm afraid if MarcoCeppi will tell us to go to a private room
my randomness provider system only works in public not in provate
21:31
@jrg care to give an output of your deja-dup --backup so we can fix your issue with it? Im bored atm and looking for epics!
This seems like a dupe...

Q: How to set up Gnome-Shell as the default DE?

romuPretty all in the question. I can choose "Gnome" at login, but I set "automatic login" and always come to Unity...and I do prefer Gnome Shell. Thanks.

jrg
jrg
It is What of, I'm not sure, but it's a dupe
@brunopereira81 ok, time to reconfigure the cronjob
@jrg That's what I'm searching for...
it is a dupe but it doesn't seem to be remembering his choice to use gnome
I wish I could find the dupe...
21:41
@MarcoCeppi at some point of business or accept rate doesn't the community user start bumping 2 questions? like on SO?
This reminds me of memory games I used to play as a child where I would flip over a tile and try to remember where the other tile was.

Q: How do I install and use the latest version of GNOME 3?

Martin ZeltinI followed the instructions for compiling the Gnome 3 Shell and it did compiled with a few errors here and there but it didn't run. I installed Gnome 3 Shell using sudo apt-get install gnome-shell but I got version 2.31.x but the latest is 2.91.5 or something. So is there a way for me to install ...

but that doesn't seem to work for him
looks autologin related
@JorgeCastro "bumping two questions"?
AHA!!

Q: Login screen doesn't remember my choice of desktop enviroment

FlorinI have installed gnome shell, loged in to it, but on boot the computer logs in to a ubuntu session. I have automatic log in enabled. How can I fix this. How can I make ubuntu remember my choice of desktop enviroment.

@brunopereira81 found a few options in djea dup, going to give them a go.
21:46
@MarcoCeppi afaict on SO the community user seems to bump questions more
Probably because their are more questions? IDK the algo for how community does bumping. I can try to find out though - would probably make a great meta post if it's not on M.SO
iirc it was based on traffic
Then we should see more bumps
like, based on the amount of incoming traffic he bumps X questions per hour
I was just wondering
jrg
jrg
@brunopereira81 if I run deja-dup --display=:0 --backup as the cronjob, it says "another backup operation is already running"
21:48
I see a bump from an hour ago
SE doesn't seem to track the bumps in the Activity log though
I need to find a question to bounty!
jrg
jrg
@brunopereira81 afk, let me know if you come up with anything.

Q: "Live" Processor hang under Ubuntu 11.10, how to diagnose/fix?

1kenthomasWe recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 on a virtual server. Since the upgrade, the server will periodically "hang" with processor use at zero (according to monitoring). Monit is still running and sending out notifications, cron will restart Apache etc., but we cannot ssh into the box and http ...

Can you answer this? How to start Rhythmbox minimized? http://askubuntu.com/questions/19107/how-to-start-rhythmbox-minimized #rhythmbox
how do I see what is available in apt-get? I want to see a list of what php packages I can install with apt-get install php5-*
apt-cache search php5-*
or you can use tab-completion :)
@JorgeCastro that lens/pygobject3 bug you linked earlier makes me sad
have you tried out that AU lens branch? I've got the lens to show up, but no search results - I haven't poked at it to see what's going on
it's entirely possible that it's due to how I've restarted unity, it may work on logging out & back in
just doing "unity" outta work
I haven't tried it yet
22:24
it wasn't helped by its setup.py restarting unity when building the package
heh
@StefanoPalazzo needs to do a review and (hopefully) merge the branch
That theory about the cat running over the keyboard?

A: How Do I Get Out Of This Mess Caused By Power failure While Upgrading To 11.10?

Oo NwoyeOk, I am not sure if I should be answering my question or updating it. Let me know which is the proper thing and I will make the ammendment. Here is how i fluked it: When my battery died and I started it again, it showd me a scan disc check screen. After which, it returned the black screen of b...

^--- There's some merit to it apparently.
@JorgeCastro yeah, I need to read up on the API changes & try & get something working :)
@ajmitch What's the problem?
@GeorgeEdison stuff don't work?
I haven't exactly spent much time on it
I suspect that we'll need to wait for that pygobject bug to be fixed
22:27
Oh... I thought you had a question about the API.
@GeorgeEdison just talking about the unity lens API
Oh, that API.
right, context is important :)

I needn't say more about how utterly useless Yahoo Answers is after reading this:
> "Binary programs are for people who can't make up their minds. Forget it, and make a straightinary program."
is it me, or does the bold ubuntu font on the site looks terrible?
nope, it's not me - it's opera :-/
@jrg do you have any pics of the new swag?
@MarcoCeppi ok, I just found all the nautilus-open-terminal duplicates and flagged them
DoR
DoR
23:23
Yahoo Answers is a troll fest.
@DoR It's an absolute mess of useless information.
I'm so glad Stack Exchange isn't like that.
