Q: Should we blacklist the freeze tag?

muruThe wiki of freeze says: Do not use. This tag is in process of removal. If your software is freezing then you likely need to file a bug, as freeze problems are usually off topic here and will likely be closed. I feel this is similar to the bug or error tags, both of which were blacklist...

you are following some random post, that has scripts to install stuff from source... hardly ubuntu's fault...
did it install within the folder the scripts were run from?
aka - is there a "RoR" file inside the folder you ran the scripts?

Nothing ever seem to install or work as it should though.

@ST34M it's mostly just different. Most of us here have used it for years, so we know where it's different from Windows and how to avoid its common pitfalls, just like someone that uses Windows knows how to avoid its own pitfalls.
really though, blaming the operating system because some 3rd party game was written badly is like blaming Windows because some 3rd party Windows software was written badly ;)

4:21 PM
@terdon so I installed virtualbox from a .deb. Now I am going to install newer version. Do I need to get rid of older version first or it will be overwritten ?
 
terdon
terdon
It will almost certainly be overwritten. All the files should go to the same targets.
 
fossfreedom
fossfreedom
@Serg when I did that I removed the older version first before installing the newer deb.
 
terdon

That's probably better, to be on the safe side. I'd be surprised if they changed any target locations but you never know, I guess.

Got it . . . Thanks,guys !

$ grep autospawn /etc/pulse/client.conf
autospawn = no
; autospawn = yes
 
Takkat
Takkat
@terdon so it does autospawn? Weird
 
terdon
terdon
Apparently, yes.

do you have a custom client.conf in your HOME?

Not that I know of.

@Takkat No ~/.pulse and ~/config/pulse only has:

cookie

e9ec65fd88a04300a02d204ca1e6ff58-stream-volumes.tdb
This is an arch install, by the way. It might be respawning through a service I guess.
 
Takkat
Takkat
are you running pulseaudio system-wide by any chance?
 
terdon
terdon
@Takkat How would I know?
Huh. I have two instances running, one belonging to me and one to gdm: 
$ ps aux | grep pulse
gdm        530  0.0  0.1 565088  4016 ?        Ssl  Jan03   0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no
terdon   10003  0.0  0.3 565400 12452 ?        S<sl 18:33   0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no

Let's kill it then.
Grr. It respawns
 
Takkat

so it has its own client.conf somewhere..

virtualbox updated, cool beans
 
terdon
terdon
@Takkat Not in either of the two places you suggested. I am creating one now with autospawn no. 
$ cat /var/lib/gdm/.config/pulse/client.conf
autospawn = no
 
Fabby
Fabby
Thanks for the migration...

Made no difference. I kill it and it respawns.

OK. I can remove myself from it then.

Back in a bit
@Takkat nope. Same thing. pavucontrol useseless, DE's sound setting only show the (bad) DB live card.
Woah! Hang on. I launched my music player (clementine) from the commandline and saw these messages: 
connect(2) call to /dev/shm/jack-1001/default/jack_0 failed (err=No such file or directory)

wait
 
terdon

I'd rather leave that as a last resort.
 
Takkat

first try simple things...: mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulse.old
then pulseaudio -k to respawn
 
terdon
terdon
Duh, yes, of course. Hang on.
lol. That worked :)
At least, pavucontrol is working.
Yay!
 
Takkat
Takkat
sssshh then the rest will also do.
no wonder all your configs and logs look o.k. ;P
you may even resurrect your old SB card
 
terdon

Weird though. I guess it was one of the ,sink files.
I even see the onboard card now!
 
Takkat
Takkat

yeah modern PA stores a lot of restore options there.
almost no documentation on that.

Now, how can I set the onboard card to be the default one?

@Mateo it was easier with Raspbian. I just set up a cron job to execute my Python gpio script that moves the motors on my (very ugly) rig. It opens the chamber, pulls out the last pod with a hooked claw I made out of paperclips, moves a new one in from a spring loaded k-cup organizer, closes the chamber, and presses the brew button

Took me about 14 hours total to build it, and another 5 coordinating the program with the motor placement

@terdon I see, so basically coffee produced by condensation ?
 
terdon
terdon
@Serg Kinda. The water boils, rises through the middle tube, passes through the coffee under high pressure and then rises to the top chamber. It's basically an espresso. Better and far stronger than any espresso I've tested that hasn't come from a professional machine.
It is usually considered the best you can have in terms of strength and flavor. The French press gives (slightly) more flavor but not as much of a kick.

@terdon Yeah that's right, it's indeed stronger than the expresso you'd have at a bar. They last a lot and they go for the better. Actually hold on, let me see how old is the one I have here. I got it from my parents.
 
terdon
terdon
I think mine was originally bought by my grandfather. I've been using it for ~15 years , since I found it in my parents house once when returning from university. However, some philistine had washed it so it hasn't been in use all that long.
Only 10-15 years or so. Still, it has a nice deposit on it by now.

If it makes you feel better, I am a native speaker. No basically about it. My Dad's American and English is actually my best language.
I grew up speaking both Greek and English at home but have done most of my studies in English.

@terdon Ah, I see, for some reason I thought Greek was the strongest of the two for you. Maybe I assumed that since I know you're in Greece.

@Kos this coffee shop is run by a second generation Italian immigrant and his family, and I'm most of their business :p

I spend a good $50/week there most weeks

@HeatherBrown Hopefully they've lost their accent after two generations :) no seriously, how many coffee do you usually have in a week? :D
@Seth Won't do that. :P

@Mateo It's curious how that is perceived as unusual by Americans / foreigners, here it's like the most common thing :) red is cool. I too have a small colored one (blue) for backup.

@Mateo Nice! Ever tried a cup made with one of those?

yep, its my favorite, smooth and strong
but, takes some more time

Should be approximately the same as the moka, shouldn't it?

similar but it is smoother, has a cloth filter in there
so I don't think it turns to steam yet with it

I just watched a video of a guy using that, I totally missunderstood how that works. I couldn't see steam at any point (aside from a bit in the lower chamber when the water is boiling before reaching the upper chamber).

Can someone upvote this, its been on 25 upvotes for months now, and I'm starting to get annoyed by it.

Too bad Parabola has that annoying pink background. It would have been my favourite live distro so far, but really, that pink hurts my eyes!

@kos can't you script something to change the wallpaper ?

@Serg Yes, I could, but that would require packing the changes into the image. I'm a bit lazy to do that, although yeah, it's bothering me to the point I might do that :)

@Kos I usually stop in for an espresso and fresh baked quiche in the morning before work, grab a coffee on my way home, and sometimes hop over for a calzone at lunch

@blade19899 I was a bit disappointed by the new Sherlock. It didn't feel like the usual

@HeatherBrown Ok I see, much like the bar down the street over here for me. I do everything I can there in the morning and usually come by again at lunch / in the afternoon. I'm their business to them pretty much in the same way.

Q: Is it OK to create the tag "boot-options" now?

Star OSI have a question about boot options in AskUbuntu (Not META). Since boot-options does not exist (even though things like nomodeset exist), can i make one?
