Almost mobile friendly

Zacharee1

@HeatherBrown oh wow. Definitely need to fix that popup :p

The slideshow is meh, but OK

hbdgaf

So, thinks about trying out Archlinux. Anyone have a recommendation on a starting point?

Zacharee1

@hbdgaf give up while you're ahead?

Mateo

@hbdgaf xpressubuntu.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/everyone-say-moo-to-unity ;P

unity on arch ;P

hbdgaf

@Mateo Heh. I'ld be going with the LXQt route... but yes. There is plenty of crossover.

@Zacharee1 After playing with FreeBSD for a couple years, I can't see Arch being any "harder" and the linux hardware support is sort of automatic. That was my chief problem with BSDs.

Mateo

1:34 AM

ah, that would be nice - I tried that one once, I should try lxqt again to see how far they have gotten

hbdgaf

From the looking around I did and what I saw, it was pretty polished and nice/sleek.

Also, how did I not know about Rick and Morty?

kos

@hbdgaf To install it I warmly suggest you to follow the Beginner's guide at ArchWiki: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_guide, it's really well done. I was able to install it correctly at the first shot.

Zacharee1

How are we supposed to know how you didn't know about something we wouldn't know you didn't know about? :p

@hbdgaf How's it going?

Np. It's really well done in my opinion.

o/ @NathanOsman

hbdgaf

@NathanOsman Well-ish. Progress on the card game thing - dbus adapter client server works. Reworking the game loop to not be a game loop... so it's a lot of adding state reporting and making sure the game is in the right state for a "move" or "board setup" to be made.

Nathan Osman

Awesome.

Can't wait to take a look at it.

Zacharee1

1:41 AM

I feel like AU should have some sort of script filter that detects when someone puts "Mint," "Kali," or any other form of Linux besides the Ubuntus that tells the poster that if their question isn't actually about Ubuntu, it belongs on SU or U&L

hbdgaf

When I finish that working, I'll also have a basic pyqt5 gui to run directly on the same box to connect to the dbus junk to play with it. The flask bit will come a little later to run more instances and run it as a web service.

kos

@Zacharee1 There's something similar for tags, but currently it's implemented only for wireless: meta.askubuntu.com/questions/14237/….

Zacharee1

@HeatherBrown this template even has a PHP email thingy built in, so I just have to figure out how to use it

instead of making my own :p

@HeatherBrown ugh. the popup works vertically with a somewhat ugly workaround on mobile, but the bottom gets cut off when the phone is horizontal.

Seth

@Mateo both. The excerpt is the former, and the actual wiki the latter.

Zacharee1

time for bed

Seth

So this tag needs a new excerpt.

Nathan Osman

Interesting.

The Debian root CA must be included in one of the Ubuntu packages.

Because it causes a CA error in Chrome for Android but not in Opera on Ubuntu.

(I'm not necessarily complaining about this, but after what happened with Superfish everyone tends to get a bit nervous about pre-installed root certificates.)

11:53 AM

@Fabby Could you kindly review this answer of mine? askubuntu.com/a/721360/380067, basically I think the method is correct but I have this doubt: does MBR / GPT actually holds informations about the drive's size? Or do tools query the drive's firmware for that information? Because in the first case tools reading the cloned drive would be tricked into thinking the drive has the original drive's size instead of the target drive's size.

Mateo

@ParanoidPanda remember only new stuff - old 15.04 questions were still on topic when asked

user136984

12:53 PM

@Mateo: Yeah, I know, sadly... >:P

user136984

If a version is now EOL, surely we should close old questions that have not yet been answered because the versions are no longer supported?

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda no, I don't think so

Isn't 15.04 still on topic until the 4th though?

user136984

@Zacharee1: It is.

Zacharee1

You're early :p

I don't think unanswered questions about 15.04 should be closed after the 4th, since those people asked before and may still have the problem. Even if they are on EOL, they've looked for a resolution before it becomes EOL and deserve an answer

If that sentence doesn't make sense, tell me :p

Anyone else notice that line breaks in the message box are now fixed on the new mobile? It's nice being able to see text instead of an orange button

user136984

But now that the version has gone EOL, I don't think we should carry on giving people with that version support. If they had asked after the version went EOL they would be told to upgrade in order to receive support and then the question would be closed, I don't see why we should give people with EOL versions support even if they asked the question before support ended for that version.

user136984

12:58 PM

Why not just tell them that it's EOL and to upgrade in order to carry on receiving support and then just close the question?

user136984

I don't know, leaving old ones open has just never made sense to me.

user136984

And there seems to be some difference of opinion in the community about this because I see so many old EOL questions being closed even though they were asked before the version went EOL.

How can I check the percentage of my microphone volume (as set in the settings) from Terminal?

Oli

@ParanoidPanda Some thorough grepping of pactl list sources

user136984

@Oli: Is this a reliable method? And how do the settings check it?

Oli

?

user136984

@Oli: What are you confused about?

Oli

I don't understand either part. It's talking directly to pulseaudio so it's as reliable as Pulseaudio... And what settings?

user136984

1:48 PM

@Oli: In the gnome-control-center section called "Sound" it tells you the current volume level for any input devices. And also allows you to change them.

Oli

@ParanoidPanda That's probably talking to PA directly too (via dbus or somesuch).

user136984

Say I have two input devices, one currently in use, the other not, but could be used, so if I had an in-built microphone and an external one plugged in, would the command you gave tell me about both of them?

Thomas W.

@ParanoidPanda no, you don't. Only for NEW questions posted about 15.04

the older 15.04 questions don't get closed

Oli

That will list all sources, yes. You can (man pactl) do number-based filter but I'm not sure how reliable that is, so you might need to do something clever based on the names of the sources.

user136984

I still don't see why... @ThomasW.

@deostroll: Do you want to hide it or remove it?

deostroll

@ParanoidPanda something like auto-hide if possible

user136984

@deostroll: Yeah, I don't think that is... But then it's been a long time since I ran GNOME 2 and I never really looked into auto-hiding, but rather just complete removal.

@Seth I made a post on that question with an answer

cl-netbox

@Seth @ThomasW. : Generally I recommend to perform a clean install of systems instead of upgrades to avoid these kind of trouble things ... :)

Thomas W.

@cl-netbox Indeed, however MANY people just want to upgrade in place, so we cater to those people and state that while we don't recommend it, they are able to do so at their own risk

cl-netbox

4:31 PM

@ThomasW. I will never understand this : it is way more work and it takes way more time to always fix broken things deep inside as to once install a fresh system that runs fine for 6 months then ... and it doesn't take that much time to install and configure it ... by the way ... +1 for your answer ! :)

Thomas W.

@cl-netbox The users want the solution that works fastest for them with the least effort

for standard users, nuking and reinstalling after backing up their data is more time consuming than just upgrading

I see it all the time

cl-netbox

@ThomasW. they must know themselves ... when upgrades always would work perfectly I would agree, but experience shows that there are always broken things ... some more serious, some less ! :)

Thomas W.

@cl-netbox go read /r/Ubuntu and all the other Ubuntu message boards - identify how many users ask basic basic questions that they could answer EASY with Google. Then determine how many of those people are likely new users. Equate "New Users" with "Lazy" in 95% of cases and you then know how many people don't know what us power users know.

most users don't care to know things, they just want things to work

if you've ever worked help desk you learn this on day one

@ThomasW. True! But my background I got to repair many different types of systems, Apple, HP, Compaq, Toshiba, etc. And the customer base that seemed the most frustrated when things went bad was the Apple customers.

GeoMint

@ThomasW. he said he uses crouton.

Crouton: Crouton actually uses a “chroot” environment to run both Chrome OS and Ubuntu at the same time. Ubuntu runs alongside Chrome OS, so you can switch between Chrome OS and your standard Linux desktop environment with a keyboard shortcut. This gives you the ability to take advantage of both environments without any rebooting needed. Crouton allows you to use Chrome OS while having a standard Linux environment with all its command-line tools and desktop applications a few keystrokes away.
