@HeatherBrown how does one set up a secure domain like that? You even have official certificates

Q: Minecraft Won't Boot

I installed Java 8 from the java.com, and I got Minecraft from minecraft.net. But Java will not boot the game! I have clicked on the "run as a program" button and it stays checked, but it never does anything. It just sits there for hours and hours doing nothing. If I uncheck the "run as a program...

@Zacharee1 yeah, I've got it set up to auto get and renew certificates for any server hosted here

Zacharee1

@HeatherBrown nice! and thanks

It's great that there's a free SSL (?) certificate authority now.

ugh

Multi-page websites are much easier to edit

the JS might have something to do with it, but there doesn't seem to be much there

I love these: astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome

Let's Encrypt's certificates are signed by TrustID CA

just one last thing to figure out with this desktop/phone, there is a settings file to change the grid units - but that needs a reboot - I think you might be able to change the grid units with something like gsettings, because now that I have a nice desktop size everything is too small on the phone ;P

We all know that any command succeeded by ampersand (&) makes it run in background. So, my question is can we use it instead of demonizing tools?

user136984

How come 12.04.5 LTS is going to still be alive after 14.04.3 LTS goes EOL?

user136984

Because the first goes EOL a year after the second, how is that right?

user136984

When are we finally going to let 12.04 go? It's about time I think...

Oli

@ParanoidPanda I assume because 14.04**.3** will be replaced with a .4 and then a .5

@ParanoidPanda It's an LTS, it gets the full 5 years. That's the point of them.

user136984

Oh, right, so will these versions ever die?

user136984

Oh, I didn't realise it was 5 years...

user136984

13:47

So do they all go up to .5 and then that's the final one before they go EOL? Is that how it works?

user136984

So we're going to have 3 LTSs going at the same time soon then...

Oli

No, I don't think there's a limit to the number of point releases... They happen as they need to.

user136984

And does that increase the length of its support each time or was it always going to be ending in 2017?

Oli

For 14.04, .1 was a bundle of standard package updates but .2 onwards have been HWE releases (new kernel from the next releases, etc).

No the latest they'll be supported is 5 years. And some of the HWE upgrades have shorter support periods so you need to upgrade within those (or downgrade back to original).

user136984

Right, no, sorry, the fact that it gives the EOLs for the HWEs made it look as if each one had made it slightly longer leading up to 2017 for the final one...

Question for the scripting people: askubuntu.com/q/722997/367990 I need to run tasks on temperature sensor changes (start or continue it when the temp is below x°C, pause it when the temp rises above y°C.)

kos

15:44

@ByteCommander How about #1 like: start the command and pause it immediately if a temperature is over the threshold? Otherwise you'll need a loop to start the command and another loop to do the check. I guess it's more or less the same?

user139252

@ByteCommander I'm writing a somewhat kludge solution

Byte Commander

@kos Yes, that's ok. Just make sure: temp<x°C --> command running / temp >y°C --> command paused. x will be around 50°C and y around 75°C.

user136984

Oh, I'll give it the border and see how it looks...

kos

@Serg There were some minor syntax errors, but other than that it works well. The only thing is you'll need a trap as well, otherwise some processes won't be terminated upon CTRL+C (e.g. yes), and I wouldn't kill $(pgrep $CMD): if you have another identical process that would kill both of them. It would be safer to kill the process' specific PID.

Also I think Byte Commander wanted to restart the process as soon as the temperature goes below another threshold: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/26948581#26948581.

user139252

@ParanoidPanda It's too... messy

kos

20:03

However that is useful in case one wants to start / stop it based on a single threshold, I think you should post it regardless. Here's the version with the corrections (but the kill $(pgrep $CMD) thing): I changed the indentation to another style because I have trouble understanding if / then / while / done on different lines:

#!/bin/bash
CMD="yes"
CRIT=55
$CMD & # spawn a process; replace with your own command
trap 'kill $(pgrep $CMD); exit' 2
while true; do
	CURRENT=($(sensors | awk -F'+' '/°C/{gsub(/°C .*/,"");printf "%d ",$2} '))
	if [ ${CURRENT[0]} -lt $CRIT  ] && [ ${CURRENT[1]} -lt $CRIT ] && [ ${CURRENT[2]} -lt $CRIT  ]; then
		STATE=$(ps -e -o comm,state,pid | awk -v proc=$CMD '$1~proc {if ($2=="S") {print "1"} else{print "0"};exit}')

@Fabby: I don't want to say that yours is 'messy', but if mine is, and mine is very similar to yours, then yours is too because they are almost the same in terms of most of the structure...

user136984

@HeatherBrown: Look, we all took up the challenged to design it, so just because I finished after the others did doesn't mean I should have just given up, after so much hard work and time, I thought I should at least publish it... You may think it's messy, and it's not perfect, but there's no problem in me putting it on the ad Meta post, the community will vote for what it wants, and it's nice to give it a little choice.

Fabby

@kos :D

@hbdgaf :-) Thanks!

@Rinzwind Thanks! :-)

user136984

@Fabby: Do you at all at least like mine then? Or does everyone hate it? :P

Nathan Osman

@Fabby the image is an unusual size (528x526).

Fabby

20:18

@hbdgaf Nice! I think @Serg will like it as well!

user136984

@Fabby @Nathan: It is not accepted by the system unless it matches the size of 300x250.

user136984

It's in the question.

hbdgaf

@Fabby Probably. Just got back with the last of the groceries. Would you believe they were out of green onions and fresh cilantro at the same time?

Nathan Osman

600x500 is also accepted now.

Rinzwind

@Juan for Ubuntu? Or in general? The general one got released in januari.

Fabby

20:19

@kos No big deal... will get onto it after replyingg to all...

@ParanoidPanda I took @ByteCommander's original design...

@ParanoidPanda KISS: Keep it Simply Stupid also is a good credo to design stuff...

user136984

Ok, well, I like mine, and I think I actually kept closer to his original idea because he wanted to have the chat in the background like I put it...

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda Yeah, I hear you, and I'm not saying it's ugly, but @Byecommander kept it simpler then yours... All I did was add the avatars and the RTFM (which is going to be removed in a few minutes)

@ParanoidPanda To be honest: the previous one was better...

hbdgaf

@Fabby The facepalm gravatar was enough. The RTFM might have been over the top.

kos

You guys are having the craziest stuff for dinner. /me is having a leftover of pasta from lunch. But I guess I'll throw a salad on the side since I feel like overindulging.

blade19899

New 0day vulnerability out for linux. Fix: update your system..... lol

Fabby

20:24

@hbdgaf :O Where do you live? Africa? >:-) ;-)

@ParanoidPanda I'll change that too...

hbdgaf

@Fabby A small suburb in NC. So, same thing.

user136984

@Fabby: What do you think of the "YOU" thing? Because I was wondering what I should put there, and then just decided that it was nice to say that that's where your avatar would go...

hbdgaf

Mosquitoes you can swat with tennis rackets and power as reliable as one would expect in India ;)

Fabby

@NathanOsman congrats!!!

Juan

@Rinzwind I use Ubuntu and Lubuntu. My question is because there is some web page that are talking about this since December 2015, but in my PC there is no any message about it.

user136984

20:25

But I don't know if that turned out any good, it looks more like one of those animated adverts way you click to shoot a plane and get iPhone malware... :P

user139252

@ParanoidPanda I wasn't meaning to tell you it was inherently bad. It wasn't my taste. I did not mean for you to take offense.

Fabby

@hbdgaf :D

@ParanoidPanda That part I really like! better then my narcissistic self!

user139252

@Kos I just had a freshly baked calzone

Fabby

Back to work

Rinzwind

@Juan oh... we will get it in april ;)

(with the new 16.04)

user136984

20:28

@Fabby: Do you think that the background stuff was a bit much though? Because I wasn't sure about that and could still remove it if you think best...

Rinzwind

or probably not 4.4 to be precise... but most likely a higher number

Juan

@ Rinzwind I see! Thanks a lot for your data!!! Greetings & Blessings from Chile!!!

user136984

I've got it in a GIMP file all with layers and everything...

Rinzwind

@Juan well blessing back from a chilly Holland :X It's -10 here

celcius that is :P

Juan

Woah!!! here we have a very warm summer, 32 celcius degrees!!!

@Rinzwind I have to go out, now. Blessings!!!

Rinzwind

20:31

:)

its winter here you have summer ;)

kos

@HeatherBrown Thanks for beating the dead horse!

Fabby

new version

@HeatherBrown home-made? restaurant? delivery???? ;-)

@ParanoidPanda yeah, probably...

@ParanoidPanda I made it in GIMP using a single layer.

@kos I thought you thanked @HeatherBrown for being the dead horse! :D :D :D (or how misunderstandings start...)

@hbdgaf isn't the word "amazeballs" rude as well? (On a scale of 0 to 10 where 0=I hate you, 10=I love you, how "rude" is it?)

(sorry for asking, but never heard that one before...)

hbdgaf

It's a superlative not a pejorative.

Seth

I wouldn't say it is rude, but it probably gets a 3 on the scale as far as vulgarity goes.

hbdgaf

Yes, it is a bit vulgar

Seth

20:40

@Fabby Did you redo the entire image from scratch?

Fabby

@Seth No, I just took @ByteCommander's original, saved everyone's avatar, scaled avatars, added RTFM, removed RTFM and added "Welcome!"

Seth

ah, ok :D

user139252

@Fabby Restaurant

Fabby

(and scaled the entire thing again to 600x500)

Seth

@ByteCommander Really should have used GIMP and layers :P

user139252

20:42

@Kos I am beating a dead horse? Oh no!

Fabby

@Seth :D :D :D

(people sticking their head around the corner and asking if I've lost it completely as I'm laughing out loud out of the blue...)

user136984

@Fabby: So do you think that this is better?

Fabby

BRB

user136984

hbdgaf

Who knew this was a thing?

user139252

20:44

@ParanoidPanda The blurry background wasn't my issue. My issue is those weirdly textured speech bubbles

user136984

@HeatherBrown: Ah, yes that I had some trouble with... I couldn't actually get it to look nice with just a normal outline, so I decided to go with something more fun! :D

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda ew :p

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda No!!! the wavy bubbles!

they make it messy!

@HeatherBrown :D Great minds etc...

Q: messed up partitions during mint installation

So i don't really know how to put it. I was using a windows10/ubuntu 14 LTS dualboot, when I decided to swap out ubuntu for mint. I downloaded the .iso, made a live-usb, started mint from the usb, pressed install, the installer told me there is ubuntu on my system already. I clicked to replace Ub...

ubuntu linux-mint windows dual-boot

Zacharee1

@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L That ain't Ubuntu

user136984

20:56

@Fabby: They are not wavy, they are pixelated! What do you expect at that image size?

Zacharee1

lol

kos

Debates about semantics are my favourites.

user136984

@Fabby: How did you manage to make your speech bubbles?
