@TheBrownOne Hi

Why my answers are getting down voted? I am pretty sure that they are the answers of highest quality and only those who are unable to understand it will down vote it.

SQuirel

idk

rancho

Is there any moderator over here? I am spending hours searching google and my answers are getting downvoted.

SQuirel

Nathan's a mod

And nathan's the friendliest mod there is too!

Hello friends :D

Hello

Hi :D

1:26 AM

Place is so quiet

Severus Tux

yup, its the same most of the time

atleast during this time

user139252

@NathanOsman @Seth I'm able to use X2Go to launch a 0ad host on an AWS instance...

Henry WH Hack

@SQuirel Hello. :)

user139252

@NathanOsman @Seth Nope, scratch that. It didn't work.

user139252

X2Go seems to have trouble with OpenGL

@HenryWHHack hi

Mateo

hello from unity 8!

SQuirel

Hello from TTY1 :D

I wish... :(

chaskes

1:53 AM

@Mateo Nice! Now charge your battery. :)

Mateo

yep ;)

huh, well that is a bug then

just plugged in - should show charging

oh, there it goes, strange

so mostly works, inconensistant bugs are the hardest to figure out

you can install apps from the store now with a bit of work

chaskes

I'll wait until 16.10 (or whenever ;) but it looks exciting

Severus Tux

@Mateo Hi ;) you didn't tell me how to take screenshots with cursor ;)

Mateo

there is an option - then you do fullscreen timed, and crop it later

Severus Tux

I just press prt sc and it clicks. where are options ? you use Ubuntu unity rt ?

Mateo

2:01 AM

the "screenshot" app

should be able to type screenshot in the dash

Severus Tux

Oh.. I never saw that :D Thankyou

did that, but still not getting the pointer

it only comes If I set delay ???

Mateo

must be a bug then...

chaskes

try running it from the command line. that seems to solve similar problems

Severus Tux

you use 16.04 ?

Mateo

I always use a few sec delay - so I can get the cursor in place

@SeverusTux Just started today :p

on unity 8 right now

Severus Tux

2:06 AM

Wow! unity 8

Mateo

so for unity 8 just hold down volume up and down at the same time :)

Severus Tux

how is that ? I only saw some videos ..

Mateo

It is getting there bit by bit

the tablet if further along, but you can tell there is a lot of work constantly going into it

Severus Tux

yes, you use touchscreen laptop ? coz I read that they have provided better support for touchscreens on u8

Mateo

nope no touchscreen

Severus Tux

2:09 AM

ah..

Mateo

they have fixed many of the mouse issues since

and the alt+tab, and meta key shortcuts are there now

2

Severus Tux

cool :O

Mateo

the content-exchange thing is a briliant idea, it really makes file managment between apps great

I just selected a screenshot from the gallery app to put here - so you pic the app that sends the content - before it was only a simple file selector

so this is what I see after hitting upload here:

so "choose from" comes up, they you can choose to send it downloads from the browser, choose the file manager, or just get a picture straight from the gallery

Severus Tux

Its similar to ubuntu touch...

Mateo

that is the point ;)

it is the "desktop" mode of the phones/tablets

they are working towards having the same thing on phone/tablet/desktop

and so when you plug your phone into a big screen you get a full desktop

Severus Tux

2:20 AM

launcher set to autohide by default ?

Mateo

yeah, there is a setting to change that

and the icon size, I just need to look that up on here

did that to the tablet first thing for dekstop mode

James

Can I finally run a desktop off my phone?

Is this what I'm seeing?

Mateo

this is a deksotp on my laptop ;P

hold on let me dig up a pic of my nexus 4 I tried a bit back

James

Oh. :(

Well I want Ubuntu for android

Mateo

the first question is almost yes ;)

James

2:23 AM

Go run my phone, and then load up a docking station

Then bam, monitors and keyboards and real computers

Mateo

Jan 11 at 23:35, by Mateo

Severus Tux

wooowww...!!

Mateo

then the touchscreen on the phone becomes your mouse/keyboard now too

or you can attach one

James

Sweet

Severus Tux

Is that HDMI?

how does it detect ?

should we set it manually ?

Will it work smoothly ?? I mean the RAM, processor.. all sufficient ??

Mateo

2:30 AM

it is MHL which sends hdmi over the usb-otg connection

Severus Tux

guys,, is this link working for you ? elections.stackexchange.com/#askubuntu

@James I've got a user privately emailing me about being downvoted.

Mateo

@James you might like that video ;)

Nathan Osman

2:35 AM

Would you or any other mods want a copy of the email?

Mateo

once they get a few more key things in place, it's going to be like a tsunami ;)

Severus Tux

2:51 AM

@Mateo I reported that bug :

Seth

@NathanOsman telegram? (or gchat if you don't have that)

Nathan Osman

Q: How to find difference in options that were used for ext4 partitions?

I have some set of scripts that create qcow2 file with grub legacy (0.97) with special patch to boot from ext4 and ext4 file system for '/'. When I run those scripts on Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 the VMs works in KVM. But for Centos 7 the grub legacy doesn't load from ext4. The '/' is creating with mkf...

ubuntu centos ext4 kvm qemu

Nathan Osman

@TheBrownOne I might have an idea...

I can get a 6-core machine with 8 GB of RAM for €0.020 / hr.

That should probably be enough to handle the load even with software rendering if I shrink the window down to a tiny size.

I might try that next week.

Don't forget, I did actually get it running on a Digital Ocean droplet. Only problem was that it didn't have enough memory or processing power to make the game playable.

user139252

How did you connect to the GUI?

user139252

I'm using X2Go, which apparently doesn't support OpenGL applications.

@NathanOsman after seeing many of his edits, I think he does something like this : checks if there is any "16.04" in the question is yes, add the tag "16.04". a lot of similar edits. Now I am skipping those edits
