@Videonauth It takes only two clicks with the autocomments script.. I'm doing it because I sometimes see people downvoting spam (downvoted beyond -6, so someone is downvoting, and not flagging) so you're saying it's not worth it to do that ?

Yes, it will get deleted, but if more people flag it as spam, it will get deleted more quickly

@Videonauth I don't know either.
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
@AndroidDev Make a backup of your script and make a new one with this content paste.ubuntu.com/17208339
 
user136984
@AndroidDev: It's not really specific to PPAs, that's just a means for distribution... But I assume you mean you don't have any Debian packaging experience either then.
 
Android Dev
Android Dev
@ParanoidPanda Unfortunately, no :(
@Videonauth So "sudo mv /usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status /usr/bin/ubuntu-support-status.bak"?
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
@AndroidDev yes
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
@AndroidDev no - unfortunately not ... but I disabled apport anyway because it often shows crashes which are no crashes at all -> gksudo gedit /etc/default/apport : enabled=0 :)

so you can revert later this is only for testing if the 16.04 script will run

@cl-netbox I get "apport-check-resume" crashes often.

Oh dear, I barely slept last night at all, went to bed at about half 1am, couldn't get to sleep until about 4am, that's when the birds started signing! They sang for about 3 hours! And after they finally stopped and I thought I would be able to finally go to sleep, a Wood Pigeon started shouting down my street! I never knew a Wood Pigeon could be so loud and echoey! :D

I think I did manage to get about 3 and a half hours sleep though... After the birds stopped...

@AndroidDev Note that on a trusty host I have where ubuntu-support-status doesn't throw a traceback, the following files exist:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64441 Oct 22 23:53 /var/lib/apt/lists/ubuntu-mirror.nxnw.org_ubuntu_dists_trusty-security_InRelease

@cl-netbox: Yes, that would do. :D
 
Videonauth
Videonauth
can you check if those files exist for your distro
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
@AndroidDev most easy way : restore the backup ... run dist-upgrade ... and you will be fine ... takes less time than figuring out the cause ... :)
 
Android Dev

@Videonauth Nope.

but if you can test it in a VM on an other machine before do this first , but thnen with a full updated version

use command line its more performant somehow

@AndroidDev better use apt update | apt dist-upgrade

@Videonauth depends.
I feel systemd makes it so
but oldschool linux was pretty simple
and if you're fine with picking packages very carefully, you can build pretty small linux systems

@AndroidDev yes - but is was 2/3 (23.000 points !!!) ... and this only because I upvoted good and useful answers that were written by some friends ... just because being written by friends ... :(

somehow i have the feeling that around 60% of all error questions on the site occur because people following outdated how to or didn't upgrade their machines

@Videonauth agree ... and additionally : not properly prepared and performed system installations ... so we land at about 90 % ! :D

@Lucio Well I am in the final stretch of my education but college is far easier now than it was before. Nevertheless I am on quite frequently here during the days - only a few classes, even distribution across the week with lots of free time available even after studies so it's definitely a better situation than years ago

how do I access my Ubuntu VHD files on windows 10 while the instance is running in virtual box?
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
3:13 PM
@JustinKaz from Hyper-V manager ?
 
JustinKaz
JustinKaz
whats hyer-v?
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
@JustinKaz Windows virt manager ... how do you wanna access the file ?
 
JustinKaz
JustinKaz
I'm on windows 10... not windows server :(
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
@JustinKaz so how do you wanna access the vhd ?
 
JustinKaz
JustinKaz
on file explorer so I can copy and paste my development files into the dev enviroment
and modify the files their to config faster than nano will let me
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
3:16 PM
@JustinKaz as the vhd is mounted in vbox, that won't work ... shutdown the instance
 
JustinKaz
JustinKaz
how do I edit the files while its running can I sent ubuntu to do file share of the entire file system?
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
@JustinKaz you can edit them only from within vbox guest ... and in case ext-pack is installed copy them to Windows
 
JustinKaz
JustinKaz
so how bout file share?
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
@JustinKaz as I said : ext-pack - vbox guest additions have to be installed in ubuntu guest
 
JustinKaz
JustinKaz
ok and that will let me modify and copy files
 
cl-netbox
cl-netbox
3:23 PM
@JustinKaz depends ... when you mean files that need elevated privileges : from Windows no - from within ubuntu yes ... but it is quite unclear what you really want to do though ... :)
 
JustinKaz
JustinKaz
I have php files I backup on google Drive on windows, of which I'll edit on windows but I want to put them on the server and than I want to be able to modify the apache config files anytime I want.

Q: Is the openjdk-r ppa trustworthy enough to install on server?

WangWe are running ubuntu 14.04, which still does not have openjdk8 yet. And I doubt they are going to fix this very soon. We need jdk8 very badly. Is this openjdk-r ppa safe enough?

Hi all ! I have a Geforce 8800GTX, which I can't get to work. Tried it with Ubuntu Mate off a usb stick, as well as mint from a hard drive - in both cases, it almost gets to the desktop (panels are visible, wallpaper not) and then freezes the system. Tried booting with nouveau.modeset=0, which works, but (apparently) no 3d acceleration or native resolution. Any ideas ?
got it from the junkyard, so the hardware could well be dodgy, but it almost works..
Should I try the proprietary drivers ?
 
Rinzwind
Rinzwind
yes if normal driver does not try the prop
 
cl-netbox

@JonasCz Install the NVIDIA drivers 340 : sudo apt install nvidia-340 ... reboot the system
Hi @rinz ! :D

Okay, I'll have a try with the proprietary drivers. Kinda wanted to avoid those, but i'll have a go later. It came with a dual cpu mobo, was probably top-end system at the time.. With 11 fans, it sounds like a jumbo jet taking off though

@Seth Because the accepted answer suggests that's on topic and unless I'm really off the mark, the question has nothing to do with Ubuntu.
@Seth Oh, citing it is ludicrous but, either way, the question isn't on topic, is it?
 
chaskes
chaskes
How to cite Ubuntu? No, I don't think it was on topic either.

@chaskes not bad, not good, just normal ... what about you ?

@terdon I would guess not.
I thought maybe he was asking us if Ubuntu wanted to be cited.. but like I said, I have no idea how it works, so I left it ;)

@Zacharee1 You can use apache virtual hosts and the proxypass module to filter out requests to specific domains to different servers on the local network.
