@Zacharee1 Isn't the only non-code block part of that answer actually part of the error message - it just wasn't code block indented? If so, the answer is just saying "Read the error message" Which isn't really an answer.

@ParanoidPanda it depends. Some of the things it does (i.e. pull a Q via the API) will effect views, but not always.

@ParanoidPanda You could do it with parasite chipx86.github.io/gtkparasite

@Zacharee1 @Seth if you review this deletion recommendation - see the why on my saying "delete" askubuntu.com/review/low-quality-posts/516656

So I heard @SmokeDetector isn't actually SE. What is it then?

@ParanoidPanda I haven't played with parasite in years, but it does let you jump in to the gtk namespace and make arbitrary calls. So, you could theoretically call anything a Gtk button could.

@Zacharee1 github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector

Who made it?

Night PP

@Zacharee1 tells you on the github landing page... >.>

normalhuman?

Looks like. That's just me though.

lol

^^ was my first mental response.

@Zacharee1 what's up?

Also...

^--- Is that bad design?

(Showing the progress as text.)

What is it?

QtMacExtras doesn't provide access to a progress bar - only the ability to set "badges".

@Zacharee1 Pretend the icon on the left is NitroShare.

I like it

Ah

And pretend the number is the progress of all current transfers.

Yeah, it looks good

K.

what's NitroShare?

Lol.

nitroshare.net

OOO

What?

I LIKE

:p

I'm glad to hear that :)

Can anyone read German?

@NathanOsman I think most of the Germans are sleeping.

:(

but consider asking in the other room.

looks like Chrome translates it really well though.

Yeah.

@Seth Of course Chrome does. German is very similar to English, except for the stupid verbs thing

Safari really isn't all that bad, TBH.

I might even prefer it to other browsers on OS X.

This is the most disturbing spam email I have ever received. Ever.

O_o

WOW

that is.. creepy.

Extremely creepy.

Things like that give Tor a bad name.

Do you mind if I share the image?

btw, I think I should stop following Chipotle on twitter. Every time I look at my twitter feed I get hungry and my mouth starts watering -.-

@Seth Sure.

@NathanOsman Maybe looking in Spam isn't the best idea...

honestly, that's creepier than that one spammer that watched the chat feeds and replied to our comments.

well. maybe not quite.

@Seth wut

Was that the Indian Hacker Team?

@NathanOsman Until you use it on a system with less than 5GB RAM :p

@NathanOsman yeah

@Zacharee1 Mine has 4 GB.

BURN :p

Also, my inbox got lighter.

Clicks "Delete"...

that reminds me of this..

Just try using it with a lot of tabs and other programs. Even Apple fanatics agree it's worse than Chrome in terms of RAM usage

@Seth lolol

@NathanOsman That's a great feeling

and yes I did just scroll to the very end of Snowden's twitter profile to find that.

@Seth He should pin it :P

@NathanOsman yeah lol

Wait, 47 GIGS OF TEXT?!?!

oh they replied twitter.com/ChipotleTweets/status/691083732636323840. Should I ask them if they're treating? :P

@Zacharee1 when you're a global superstar..

lol

@Seth yees

@Zacharee1 twitter.com/thatcoderiguana/status/691084427653320704 noonebox

A "xyz has favorited your tweet" email is around 33.7kb.

@NathanOsman 50GB is still quite a few emails :p

He would only need to have received 139,465 of those emails to reach 47GB.

^--- math FTW :P

lol I was just going to go do the math xD

@NathanOsman nice

@NathanOsman I get something different

1,462,405.69733

But text compresses well, so in practice, it should occupy less space.

"Only 139k"

◔_◔

only

ONLY

4,700,000,000 / 33,700 = 139,465.87537

ONLY

@NathanOsman I used x1024

Metric prefixes FTW, then :P

47*1024*1024/33.7

@NathanOsman more likely to be counted in 1024 :p

@Seth lol, @thatcoderiguana

*cough* Windows *cough*

@NathanOsman What?

wait, did you guys actually get a twitter email and measure its size?

Windows messes that up.

@Seth I didn't...

@Seth I checked one of mine.

@NathanOsman What do you mean?

@Zacharee1 They show metric prefixes but use base 2 prefixes internally.

fun

Which is why people were always complaining about hard drives having less space than advertised.

That and the overhead of the filesystem :P

Mac actually says a 500GB drive is 503GB

I read that as "but it also coughs strangely" the first time lol.

I should probably go make dinner.

I had a taco for dinner.

@Seth or wait for Chipotle to give you a gift cert

@NathanOsman one?

Yes.

that saddens me

ideas? askubuntu.com/questions/724767/…

I had 4 tacos, with pomegranate seeds, and feta

4? Wow.

@Mateo just the seeds? :p

well, they were the small shells

Pomegranate seeds are awesome though.

@Zacharee1 haha, good idea :P

@NathanOsman a taco? o_O

I hope you mean with the fruit included

@Seth exactly what I thought

When I make tacos I usually end up eating like 8.

@Seth this

nope, they take them out and put them in cups, without the rest of the fruit

work had leftover

Maybe there's a cultural barrier here. When I say taco, I'm thinking of something with a diameter of 15 inches unrolled.

Not some tiny finger food thing.

@NathanOsman ahh, you mean a real soft taco

Think large pancake rolled up.

@Zacharee1 Exactly.

ahhh, ok.

like a burrito?

@NathanOsman I love those, and I understand why you had one now :p

@Mateo yeah

We call those burritos. Or occasionally "soft tacos".

Ah.

See, up here we call those "tacos" :P

@NathanOsman I thought you meant the normal ~6" diameter soft shells

Burrito:

taco:

visualsonline.cancer.gov/…

Shell can be soft

Do you want to build a Snowden?

SIGH

238 rep to go

I really wish when people asked questions that they would take the time to avoid typos. It can make stuff hard to understand.

ok, last tweet!

@Seth here's a thought - why do we not close questions specific to EOL releases ? I mean, there's questions popping in from time to time and bumped up by the Community bot that are from like 13.10 or 11.10

It would decrease the lever of unanswered from 70,000 by half at least

@Serg do you remember the person who was trying to install 6.10?

@Zacharee1 O.O i think i missed that. Why would they want to install 6.10 ? I mean , in virtual box it's fine, like @NathanOsman has Win98 , but . . . seriously ?

They thought they needed it because their computer was old

Reasonable thought . . . Trying to match the computer and the software release time . . . But in reality Linux kernel only keeps improving functionality

exactly

Speaking of virtual box . . . You guys think MS-DOS would run there ? I bet it would in QUEMU :p

@Serg it might be tricky doing a 16-bit or less OS on a 64 bit computer

Oh, by the way, I found the April fools joke from last year: MS-DOS for mobile devices

lol

@Serg actually, we do. If you find an old question about a now EoL release that is unanswered please vote to close it! It's also helpful if you leave a comment like "please upgrade to a supported release and report back if your problem still exists". Just be careful, not everything that mentions an EoL release should be closed. If they're asking "how do I change my PS1" for e.g., that doesn't need to be closed. Just edit out the bit about the release.

(of course, that particular example would be a duplicate, but you get the idea)

@Seth yes, I close those that pop up recently, but what about those from like 2013, 2012 that still lurk on the pages like 215 of the "Unanswered" tab ?

@Serg are the answered? yes? Not a problem. No answered? -> Can you answer them? yes? Good. No? -> Is it obviously not related to release? yes? move on. no? VTC. Does that make sense?1

Gotcha

so if it's old and EoL and you can't answer it, just close it.

There are a few cases where that's not quite right, but close enough.

that moment when someone with almost polar opposite political views follows you on twitter o_O

They're spying on you lol

Meh, I've whole bunch of people on facebook, I might disagree with what they post, but i still consider them friends . . .

yeah, but this is a total stranger afaik.

and most people are too afraid of other people's opinions to care to view them.

[ SmokeDetector ] Blacklisted user: What is the command line equivalent for the update manager? by QuestionReality on askubuntu.com

Hey, it's QR again @SmokeDetector

That answer is from Nov of last year

@Serg but @Tim ediited it recently

And QR had their rant after that post

@Zacharee1 k . . .Tim's edit consists only of highlighting the code , i see.

I think @SmokeDetector scans questions under Active, so it would make sense that it would see it

Ok . . .Should I ask this as a question: How would i add the ubuntu kernel ppa so I can get newest kernel with updates ?

kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline

idk

HI guys

I have one question:

Where to ask opinion based question about Ubuntu?

Like "Which is better Grub or Burg"?

or LILO

@NathanOsman Ooo, Mac OS X Yosemite . . . I wanna :p

@Vishwa I would change the question into something less opinion based. " What are the advantages of using different boot loader over Grub ? " or " How does using different bootloader other than grub may benefit the user experience " ?

@Serg nice, would you please edit it in a better way?

@Serg coz, English is my 3rd language .lol

@Serg I ment this askubuntu.com/questions/724922/…

@Serg no, that's El Capitan.

@Vishwa edited your question a little.You had 3 questions in one, which is not very liked around here

I'm confuzzd

Why does it work with find but not with shell ?

DIR:/TESTDIR
skolodya@ubuntu:$ find . -type f -exec rename 's/A/TEST/' {} +

DIR:/TESTDIR
skolodya@ubuntu:$ ls
jekylTESTNDhide  tomTESTNDjerry

DIR:/TESTDIR
skolodya@ubuntu:$ rename 's/TESTND/YOLO' jekylTESTNDhide tomTESTNDjerry
/bin/mksh: rename: syntax error

DIR:/TESTDIR
skolodya@ubuntu:$ rename 's/TESTND/YOLO' jekylTESTNDhide tomTESTNDjerry

Ok, I forgot slash . . . but it still doesn't work ?

DIR:/TESTDIR
skolodya@ubuntu:$ rename 's/TESTND/YOLO/' jekylTESTNDhide tomTESTNDjerry
/bin/mksh: rename: syntax error

@Serg Thanks :)

@Vishwa welcome :)

AAARG, I wish it was saying which syntax error i am dealing with here

@Oli I know you've been using rename a lot , can you please explain this behavior above when you have time ? ^

Nevermind . . . mksh has a 'rename' builtin

funny enough , backslash doesn't help avoiding using the built in

DIR:/TESTDIR
skolodya@ubuntu:$ \rename -v s/'HELP'/'YOLO'/  ./jekylHELPhide
/bin/mksh: rename: syntax error

Off to bed, adios

Is paste.ubuntu.com = pastebin.ubuntu.com or not?

@edward torvalds u there ?

hi

hi

Here is something no one has said in a while: I'm kinda loving gnome3....

what kind of information do u need

@Artnect please open new terminal and copy paste env LANG="fa_IR" evince & then press Ctrl + O and open that file and try searching

@blade19899 me too, gnome 3.18 is beautiful

@edward torvalds it didnt work

@edward torvalds it is still doing a reserve search

@Artnect is it possible for you to change your default language english to your own langauge? NOTE: in case of arabic and farsi your desktop will be flipped horizontally

> GNOME Shell 3.10.4

I´m on Ubuntu trusty Tahr.

@edward torvalds i dont really need my native language except in pdf files : /

ok let me think

@blade19899 this is my desktop : plus.google.com/+EdwardTorvalds/posts/JUoLZ4Mwj9w

@edward torvalds isn't there any way to make document viewer search left to right instead of right to left ?

@Artnect please give me some time to think, about right to left noted

@edwardtorvalds I'm on gnome classic. Looks better IMHO...

@blade19899 is there major change in look from 3.10 to 3.18

?

@edwardtorvalds I dunno. THeme looks different from your screenshot. I haven't used 3.18.

@blade19899 i prefer xubuntu's xfce rather than gnome

If it isn't available in the LTS repos, I tend to ignore it.

Hello :)

hi

@Artnect I might try Xubuntu someday! When I have a new machine to play with...

take a look to this picture : imgshare.ir/di/CMNK/35-pm.png

@edwardtorvalds : Hi ! :) On my debian 8 VM since of yesterday I have a problem : when I click on terminal ... nothing happens - it does not open ... do you have an idea how to solve this ?

@Artnect Hi ! :)

i dunno why linux is full of problems ^_^

@cl-netbox I know, that happened to me too, you have to set locale first

@edwardtorvalds Ah great - please give me the commands. :)

@Artnect Linux is not full of problems, it is very less people takes the responsibility to set it up properly

@edwardtorvalds its less than 1 month and i have reinstalled it 3 times by unkown problems : /

@Artnect you might say Ubuntu is full of problems, that is why I dont use it any more :)

@cl-netbox got the link?

@edwardtorvalds yes thanks ... reading ... :)

@cl-netbox also this wiki.debian.org/ChangeLanguage

@edwardtorvalds do u know anything in programming ?

@Artnect depends of programming langauge

@edwardtorvalds c

@Artnect sure, ask

@edwardtorvalds im just a begginer and wantet to learn about micocontrollers programming i mean embedded systems

@edwardtorvalds my first project is about to make a pulse in timers pin with self-choice duty cycle

@Artnect I have done this project in college, you can use Microchips' microcontrollers microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/products/picmicrocontrollers and I learnt about it from this book: goodreads.com/book/show/…

@Artnect microcontroller programming can be done by both Assembly language and C (choice depends on you). BTW this is the IDE for it : microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/family/mplabx (it is a free software)

@edwardtorvalds thanks its ordered to be ARM nxp micros do u have any info about them ?

pic and avr are getting abit old

NO

they are great

i can really call ARM a revolutionnary

@Artnect in fact there are Operating Systems for microcontrollers called RetroBSD

anyway your choice

@cl-netbox how did it go?

@edwardtorvalds did u find anything about that document problem ?

@edwardtorvalds I am still reading ... my system language is set to english - my keyboard is set to german and I want to set language formats to german as well ... :)

@Artnect working on it

@cl-netbox Hello :)

@Neil Hey Hello - welcome back my friend ! :)

@Artnect you should wait for someone to answer, I have no idea

@edwardtorvalds some time this happens when i use my proxy. i just needed to restart HAVP.

@Neil I removed cache and restart the browser didnt help

@Neil found why... Ghostery was blocking the images :)

@edwardtorvalds ok thanks

@edwardtorvalds Ghostery ?

@Neil chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ghostery/…

@edwardtorvalds sounds like privacy badger.

@Artnect here?

@Neil yes

@Artnect you should try the answer to your question

@edwardtorvalds yes

@edwardtorvalds which one ?!

aha sorry got it

@Artnect foxitsoftware.com/downloads

@edwardtorvalds im getting errors while installing it by this askubuntu.com/questions/602861/…

No such file or directory

@Artnect do you have .deb file or .tar.gz ?

gz

@edwardtorvalds downloaded from official site

@Artnect try this answer? askubuntu.com/a/679213/294611

@edwardtorvalds i tried it actually

@Artnect why dont you download .deb file? do you know what architecture your computer is?

no ^_^

give the address of deb pls

@Artnect help.ubuntu.com/community/Foxit

@Artnect can you open .tar.gz file? show me its contents

@edwardtorvalds a file which its name is FoxitReader.enu.setup.x64.1.0.1.0925(r189237)

@Artnect what is its extension, it should have extension like filename.deb or filename.tar.gz

full name FoxitReader.enu.setup.x64.1.0.1.0925(r189237).run

i extract it

@Artnect dont extract it

@Artnect open terminal type chmod +x FoxitReader.enu.setup.x64.1.0.1.0925(r189237).run then ./FoxitReader.enu.setup.x64.1.0.1.0925(r189237).run

@edwardtorvalds just to see the inner of it

got this output bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

@Artnect type ./F then press TAB

@edwardtorvalds and this for the 2th one : bash: syntax error near unexpected token `r189237'

@edwardtorvalds : I am getting stuck : /etc/default/locale is already set to LANG=en_US.UTF-8" ??? I never had this in fedora ...

@cl-netbox what is the output of locale ?

@Artnect what are you doing now?

@edwardtorvalds please wait ... I have to switch to tty ... with virt-manager send key ... :)

@edwardtorvalds retrying the commands

@edwardtorvalds : everything set to en_US.UTF-8 except LC_ALL=

@cl-netbox then it is OK

@cl-netbox try rebooting?

@edwardtorvalds already did this 10 times ... :) will do it again ...

haha

@edwardtorvalds i get this output when tried last command : bash: ./FoxitReader.enu.setup.1.0.0.0909.run: No such file or directory

@cl-netbox I had same problem terminal so I set my locale and problem was solved. yours maybe different, try posting question

i mean this one ./FoxitReader.enu.setup.1.0.0.0909.run

@Artnect you have to cd in to the directory where it is downloaded

@edwardtorvalds please give me the command to (re)set locale again. :)

god wont me read a pdf file lol :D

@edwardtorvalds it is in download folder i didnt change the directory

@cl-netbox if it is set then no need to reset

@Artnect cd Downloads

@edwardtorvalds Yes I assumed this ... but thank you for helping me nevertheless ! :)

@cl-netbox yea the 11 time dose the trick.

@edwardtorvalds i have done this before as u see here : allireza@allireza-Satellite-P755:~/Downloads$

@Artnect try renaming it from file manager and them run it as ./foxit.run

@Neil I am about to put this fr...ing debian VM into the trash ... and then empty trash !!! :D

@edwardtorvalds it worked !

@cl-netbox i think you wasted time. trying the same thing 9 times.

:D

@Neil I know ... :D

@Artnect tell me if you have any installation problems

@edwardtorvalds :D :D :D ... fedora 23 with GNOME 3.18 is better anyway ... :D

@cl-netbox Arch Linux + gnome 3.18 much better

reporting from my mobile computer!! ;)

@edwardtorvalds HaHaHa - guess what ? There is something way better than all others ... this thing is called ... right ... UBUNTU !!! :D

@edwardtorvalds my problem totally solved its working fine but this application has really a trouble design : /

@Artnect accept that guys answer

i did it so

good

thank u too

@Artnect /.FoxitReader.enu.setup.x64.1.0.1.0925(r189237).run won't work because of the parentheses. I don't know what idiot developer chose that name but there you go. The simplest thing is to try ./FoxitR and then hit TAB. EIther that, ot escape the parentheses yourself: ./FoxitReader.enu.setup.x64.1.0.1.0925\(r189237\).run

@terdon I told him so

Ah, sorry, missed that.

@terdon anyway his problem is solved now

@Mateo some one got a better monitor than me

this one is at church

is there any way to report this problem ?
