I was surprised that no one had answered this one yet: askubuntu.com/questions/760796/…

Videonauth

well i have no clue how to do something bout that , and aswell i not use google chrome

chaskes

Well, the issue was OP didn't know apt-get didn't provide info after update and that it had to be followed by upgrade. It wasn't really about the chrome issue. I was just surprised that after 2000 views it was still unanswered. :)

Videonauth

i whish i could have a peek into byte commanders AU repository

Serg

@Videonauth there's just one file so far , the one he linked

Videonauth

ah ok i thought he did already more scripts

ha nice, sniffing through right now :) better as newspapers :)

a morning coffee, a cigarett, and a good script to read

best breakfast ever :p

Serg

@Videonauth enjoy :) I've quite a few things there , bash, awk, python, java

Videonauth

@serg i surely will, btw what do you think how much hdd spac do i need to make a ubuntu tryout install on my working machine ? need to free some space for it on hdd but not want to shoot my windows yet just in case windows doesnt play so nice

Serg

04:28

@Videonauth install virtualbox , make Ubuntu VM with 16 GB of virtual size . . . even 8 will do. I've 8 GB SSD and I've put Ubuntu there at first, then OpenSuse

Virtual Box is cool because you can have bunch of virtual machines, without installing to HDD directly

Videonauth

well vm runs but refused to install from 16.04 image i had to install 15.10 and upgrade

Serg

Huh, interesting. I've installed 16.04 without any issues. Yesterday installed CentOS overnight

Videonauth

yeah i got some distored graphics

but my work machine is not the newest

Asus ROG Formula II Board wit Intel core2quad Q9550

8 GB ram

nvidia gtx 760 ti wf2oc 4 GB

nvidia gt 610 512 MB (PCI)

Serg

Don't mind me . . . I need to take a second to break down and cry . . . <hysterics>EVERYTHING IS BROKEN AND MY DIJKSTRA ISN:T DONE YET </hysterics>

Videonauth

but theres a rule never touch a running system so i want to make sure before i make a fresh dualboot install where i use windows only for gaming that ubuntu has drivers for all odds and ends

user139252

04:34

@Serg how can I help?

Videonauth

@TheBrownOne maybe send him some tranquilizers ?

Serg

well . . . I don't even know . . .

user139252

Not sure that would help....

user139252

Somebody should buy me a Nexus 6 :p

Serg

@TheBrownOne do you have an amazon wishlist ?

user139252

04:36

Not at the moment, no. Why?

user139252

I actually just cancelled my prime membership, too.

Serg

Well, if you want someone to buy it for you , create a wish-list and if one day a person decides to give you a gift, point them there

user139252

Ah :p

Serg

My wishlist is basically tons of stuff . . .not really a wish list . . . just a list . . .

Videonauth

hehehe im graving actually for this book, its top of my whishlist amazon.de/C-Primer-Plus-Developers-Library/dp/0321776402

Serg

04:48

good one, though i bet you can find pdf online for free

Videonauth

possibly yes but i want it on paper :)

Serg

valid point

I actually want a PyQt book on paper :p

Videonauth

its not that it will teach me much new but its a good book to have as backup to reread some things

i have even the bible of iso streams (The c++ ISostreams handbook) in my collection

this book is somewhat old but still valid

The Tao of programming

> 4.3

The Master was explaining the nature of Tao to one of his novices.

"The Tao is embodied in all software -- regardless of how insignificant," said the Master.

"Is the Tao in a hand-held calculator?" asked the novice.

"It is," came the reply.

"Is the Tao in a video game?" asked the novice.

"It is even in a video game," said the Master.

"Is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?" asked the novice.

The Master coughed and shifted his position slightly. "The lesson is over for today," he said.

@blade19899 OK, so what exactly crashed? Unresponsive system? Any screen artefacts?

First thought, as always, is a heating issue.

blade19899

@terdon Could not log in via ssh, and could not go to the server via browser!

terdon

@blade19899 Oh, so it's a remote server. OK. And now, after a hard restart everything is OK?

Why don't you post a question on U&L?

blade19899

09:39

@terdon Already restarted, WAS examining the logs, but found no usable entries!

terdon

@blade19899 Well, thermal events should be logged if that was the problem. You'll need to go through the various log files and see what happened around the time of the crash. I think the one that looks at heat issues is something like /var/log/*acpi* but I don't remember. Ask on U&L.

@cl-netbox: I get the same output with no errors unless there is a new package version to upgrade to so... So you will need to run it when there is an upgrade available which your machine doesn't know about yet to be sure that you don't get it.

cl-netbox

Did it this morning -> Upgraded the following packages:
distro-info-data (0.28) to 0.28ubuntu0.1
libllvm3.8 (1:3.8-2ubuntu1) to 1:3.8-2ubuntu3 ... no error ...

user136984

16:17

@cl-netbox: But did you run sudo apt update or sudo apt-get update?

user136984

Because maybe the former just doesn't output the error... The fact that you are getting it when running that other command I gave you suggests that you do have the error, partly at least.

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda I usually use apt-get update ... and as I said before : I never had this error ... :)

user136984

@cl-netbox: And you did this morning? And do you know for sure that gnome-software hadn't already run it or something?

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda I don't use GNOME software ... :)

@ParanoidPanda not in my case ... when I start the PC the first thing I do is checking for updates ... :)

@ParanoidPanda yes it is ! :)

user136984

Because they are discussing this issue there...

Jacob Vlijm

@ParanoidPanda check your stuff...

@ParanoidPanda @ByteCommander : I deleted the answer because it didn't solve your problem ... but as I said : I never ever experienced this issue in nine years ... maybe this can help -> wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines ... :)

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda I think yes... Have me a link?

@cl-netbox You are just experiencing it, according to the output above.

user136984

@ByteCommander: Well, there was some talk here, but as I understand it in one of the more general channels too.

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander no I don't when I execute sudo apt update or sudo apt-get update ! :)

Serg

This is beyond frustrating

Byte Commander

@cl-netbox sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists ; sudo apt-get update

cl-netbox

16:42

@Serg and I thought I helped you reducing frustration ... :(

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda No, only have one for a different team...

Serg

@cl-netbox sure helps, but . . . i have a grade on the line here

user136984

@ByteCommander: Well, I can invite you if you can give me an email of yours. If you want that is. :)

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander I don't understand why I should execute sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists when I can run update without any issue ???

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda [my username as single word]@gmx.de

user136984

16:44

@cl-netbox: Because perhaps due to bad timing or something else you are just not running it at the right time... If you run what Byte says and you still don't get the issue then we can probably safely say that you only get something similar minimally. :)

Byte Commander

@cl-netbox Because you need a changed list to run into the AppStream warning through apt-get update. And by removing the lists and forcing them to fully re-download, they surely change. No worries, it's 100% safe.

Tim

@ParanoidPanda Yeah, and I updated and installed synergy so it works

user136984

@Tim: Oh, well that's good! :)

Yeah, not too slow

I mean bad bug to ship but pretty good response

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander @ParanoidPanda okay I'm gonna do it ... please stay tuned ... :)

user136984

Well actually, as soon as upstream knew about it they fixed it basically... It's because nobody at first reported it to upstream that it was so slow with the fixing.

Yes, I think that a good idea, maybe you wait a few minutes though because gnome-software takes a while.

user136984

You might also want to turn automatic updates off (security auto updates are on by default) just so that you don't get any more bad timing... :D

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda I never turn on automatic ... I have set it to inform about new updates :)

user139252

anyone know how to remove the default links in the sidebar of Nautilus?

user139252

16:56

I don't need my Videos or Music folders bookmarked there

cl-netbox

@TheBrownOne It should be in gsettings ... check dconf-editor ... :)

@ByteCommander @ParanoidPanda : now the error is gone ... but I still do not understand why I shall force the error by removing the lists when I have no problem ?

Videonauth

@TheBrownOne ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

remove the corresponding entries

Tim

why slack?

Videonauth

make a backup before

user136984

@cl-netbox: You are just bring on the circumstances which you have accidentally been missing every time you run it, you are not in fact causing yourself to have the error as you are not causing a problem, you are just bringing on the circumstances which come every day but you happen to miss. :)

user136984

17:03

Though seemingly even though you do get the error when running that other code, you don't get the error when we do... Which is most strange...

user139252

@Videonauth Thanks, couldn't find it in dconf :P

Videonauth

npyvw

chaskes

It's not in dconf. It's prob hard-coded build the default links based on the user-dirs

cl-netbox

Hi @Videonauth ! :) You are from NRW ? :)

Videonauth

indeed i am

user139252

17:04

Still there...

cl-netbox

@Videonauth Me as well ! :) though I'm living in BW now ... :)

user139252

Videonauth

mhmm let me see and fiddle @TheBrownOne

user136984

@ByteCommander: You got the Slack email yet? :)

chaskes

Then it just may be hard coded to have those bookmarks. What happens if you set the bookmark location to null in menu -> bookmarks?

cl-netbox

17:07

@Videonauth where ? Ruhrpott ? :)

Videonauth

car licencense plate beginns with KR

cl-netbox

@Videonauth mine was DO ... BVB rules ! :)

Videonauth

hehehe im not so much into soccer

cl-netbox

@Videonauth that's religion ! hahaha ! :)

Videonauth

if you thinnk so then im an atheist twice

user136984

17:10

@cl-netbox: Have they released a qTox for Xenial yet do you know? I haven't heard of anything but just wondering if you had tried again... :)

user136984

Also, v1.4 was just released and they now include a partial changelog! :)

cl-netbox

@Videonauth joke ... but when you are born there - there's nothing you can do about it ... a bit different to Bayer 05 Uerdingen :P

Videonauth

if i would want i could see them train by only walking down my street a bit

user139252

@chaskes It won't let me set it to null, it just resets to the default.

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda checked this morning ... xenial repo still didn't offer anything ... will check again ... :)

@ParanoidPanda : cl@cl-UW-1:~$ apt-cache policy qtox N: Unable to locate package qtox

user136984

17:15

@cl-netbox: :(

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda yes :(

Henry White Hat Hacker

All the answers to my programming question is on stackoverflow.

user136984

It is really unacceptable for it to take so long... Most have it ready even before the version is released... Most have a section for in-development versions anyway... Not just released ones...

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda yes ... so true ... :)

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda Pandamonium? :D

Yes, got it. I was away...

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tox.list
deb https://pkg.tox.chat/debian nightly xenial

But no install candidate yet, I'm still running the old version I got when I was at Wily.

@Seth check this out:

The link now takes you direct to "My Apps"

and works on mobile sizes now!

cl-netbox

Have to go now ... see you tomorrow ... bye :)

Mateo

yay: bugs.launchpad.net/developer-ubuntu-com/+bug/1409492

chaskes

@TheBrownOne Ok, I got it. I looked at the source and was right that it's hard-coded to build bookmark list from user-dirs. Commenting out the dirs in user-dirs doesn't work since the file is re-written from /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults on login. Soloution is to comment out the dirs in both files and the unwanted bookmarks go away.

logout and login of course

user139252

Ahhhh, alrighty.

user139252

Thank you :D

user139252

17:26

I can post a question and you can answer, so that you get rep.

great, thanks.

Q: How to remove unwanted default bookmarks in Nautilus?

Nautilus has some bookmarks in the left-hand bar by default. I do not store any music or videos on my computer, and would like those book marks to disappear. How can I make this happen?

nautilus

hbdgaf

anyone have an opinion on the pyqt vs pyqside comeback thing?

user136984

@ByteCommander Yep! That's me! ;D

Zacharee1

So much sigh: askubuntu.com/questions/762595/…

Videonauth

17:37

@ParanoidPanda the command for doing so

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda And what's that thing about the hungry cooks? o.O

Videonauth

:(){ : | :& );:

Byte Commander

Boom!

Videonauth

erm meant @Zacharee1

chaskes

@TheBrownOne Well, it looks like a dupe but with a slightly different solution (making the .config file read only). Please accept anyway, even if it gets closed. Ack, one thing I just thought of is that this is fine on a personal computer but it will fprevent new users from having those dirs automatically.

user139252

17:39

Yeah, I'm waiting till it lets me accept.

user139252

3 minutes :P

chaskes

thanks!

user136984

@ByteCommander That's my public forwarding address... :D

user136984

It forwards emails sent to it to my primary email address.

Videonauth

so i wasnt that wrong at all

^

Zacharee1

17:42

@Videonauth wat

Videonauth

see the commmand i typed, thats the solution to install games voa terminal :p

user136984

@chaskes: When I change the Anthy typing method from Romaji to Kana is where does everything go? I mean, is there a keyboard layout somewhere that would show me where all the characters are? :)

Videonauth

especially for assasins creed

user136984

@cl-netbox: If they take too much longer why don't you just compile qTox from source?

user136984

Or even I can just package it up for you into a deb file... :)

user136984

17:48

Well, I probably could anyway...

user136984

Please VTC this as no longer able to reproduce.

Videonauth

@ParanoidPanda as you whish

user136984

@Videonauth: Well, you don't have VTC powers yet so you can't... But can flag it I guess.

Videonauth

this i did

Byte Commander

Does anyone else experience this 16.04 Nautilus bug? When you select a line (list view) and then give another window the focus, the line stays orange highlighted as if Nautilus was still focused. But as soon as you hover your mouse over the line, it becomes grey as it should when Nautilus is not focused. (@ParanoidPanda)

user139252

18:03

Let me try

user139252

Yep, just saw that.

Videonauth

@ByteCommander on my machine it switches directly to grey when the window looses focus

user139252

And then it stays grey until you hover over it again when Nautilus comes back into focus

user136984

@NathanOsman: Just had a look at your profile page, why don't you add your chat script to your about section? People would be interested in that and it is relevant here I think... :)

user136984

Also, I hope to soon overtake you in terms of rep! >;P

user136984

18:05

@ByteCommander: I will just check...

user136984

@ByteCommander: What version of Nautilus are you running?

Byte Commander

NAA: askubuntu.com/a/762619/367990

@TheBrownOne Yes, exactly.

@ParanoidPanda nautilus: Installed: 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4

@ParanoidPanda Me? Dream on! >:D ;)

user136984

@ByteCommander: No, I was talking to Nathan. :P

user136984

It would be nice to overtake you too though. >:D

Byte Commander

Wut, he has only 16.8k? He's all-time user number 5, I would have expected a bit more effort... :P

user139252

18:15

Also, the 16.04 terminal doesn't have an option for New Tab

user139252

just New Terminal

Videonauth

@TheBrownOne 16.04 terminal new tab is ctrl+shift+t

user139252

Yes, but I like accessing it from the menu :P

user136984

@ByteCommander: Do you notice anything at all odd in Terminal when highlighting text or executing commands? Because sometimes either it is blank for output when it shouldn't be and then only shows when I do something special or the highlighting doesn't highlight everything or at least it doesn't show you that it does...

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne In Edit→Preferences you can select whether to open new terminals in a new window or tab.

@ParanoidPanda Nope, terminal is one of the few things on 16.04 that haven't failed in anything yet for me...

user136984

18:25

@ByteCommander: Maybe you're just lucky with that then... :P

user136984

So do you recommend that I upgrade to 16.04 soon or wait on 15.10 for a while? :D

user136984

I think I'm going to stick with 15.10 for a while... Maybe until it goes EOL even because 16.04 sounds awfully buggy... And my 16.04 VMs aren't doing too great... :D

user136984

Aren't LTS releases meant to be the most stable of releases? :D

Byte Commander

Yes, I would wait if I was you...

On the other side, you're a great bug reporter! ;D

user136984

So I think then it would turn out better for us all if I stick to 15.10 and stick to finding bugs in my 16.04 VMs... :D

Byte Commander

18:29

Good idea!

user136984

Well, at least the not upgrading part would be better for me... :P

user139252

Whoa, neat. I can use my SSH tunnel to access my home network shares by IP

Byte Commander

Also, has anybody had issues with the latest kernel?

Videonauth

not on my side

Byte Commander

Mine did not boot, I'm running the previous 4.4.0-21 currently.

Videonauth

18:35

if you mean the actual delivered from ubuntu

Byte Commander

Yeah, I have no external kernels.

The other must be 4.2.0.35

Videonauth

well im aswell at 4.4.0-21

weird

Byte Commander

Or GRUB is confusing my Ubuntu and Arch kernels somehow...

back later...

Q: How can I share an internal disk via NFS? (What am I doing wrong?)

I have an NFS server (machine A) that mounts a 4TB internal hard drive at /data/Storage, and exports /data to client (Machine B). If I put a regular file in MachineA:/data, you can see it in MachineB:/space/MachineA But if you navigate to MachineB:/space/MachineA/Storage the folder appears empty...
