Nathan Osman

And once again I got a new phone and managed to forget to unlock the bootloader.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman forget?

Nathan Osman

You know... where you don't remember?

Zacharee1

but is that bad? Can you just unlock it now?

Nathan Osman

01:43

It erases everything.

Zacharee1

01:55

what phone?

darn it

they fixed the overflow giving in Minecraft

so now items don't pop out of the player if their inventory is full in gamemode 0

or maybe

nope

Pablo

@serg @edwinksl any help you guys?

edwinksl

Pablo

Its a web.config prob but dont know how to fix it

Serg

Pablo

right now on windows

edwinksl

why don't you ask on Super User

Pablo

02:24

how?

edwinksl

Pablo

will try it, tomorrow thanks edwinksl

edwinksl

@Videonauth i see you are awake already

Videonauth

yeah well i was awake all the time but my eyes did hurt so i was taking a rest

Serg

T_T i haz perfectly good skriptz , but me no haz lubantu on dual screenz

edwinksl

02:30

i have dual screens (does 1 laptop 1 actual monitor count as dual screens?) but no lubootu :(

Videonauth

you guys confuse me actually :)

edwinksl

lol

@Videonauth btw looks like your answer can't be used on headless ubuntu server ;)

Serg

Confubuntu

ubuntu for confuzed people

Videonauth

in one month we will have even Windowbuntu :(

edwinksl

because upgrades to windows 10 will no longer be free in one month's time?

Videonauth

02:36

No the REdstone (Aniversary Update) will bring Ubuntu for windows as package to the normal windows payload

edwinksl

UH OH

Videonauth

and this will happen on the 2nd of august

edwinksl

users get a root shell by default right?

or at least that was what i saw in some m$ video

Videonauth

yeah kinda

I guess we will get a ton of weird questions then here along with a sh**load of dupes

Serg

OK, how about xubuntu, anyone ?

Videonauth

02:39

Im still on unity :)

edwinksl

loosk like this tag will blow up then askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/ubuntu-on-windows

Videonauth

most likely yes, since as soon you put ubuntu in the google search bar, askubuntu is one of the top hits

edwinksl

AU is on second page for me when i google "ubuntu"

it ranks behind the ubuntu subreddit lol

Serg

Don't forget that google also profiles your searches

edwinksl

yeah

Serg

02:43

your search history will influence the order of entries as well

edwinksl

which is even more surprising

because AU is one of my more highly visited sites

Videonauth

but you mostly dont search through google ?

Zacharee1

@Serg Only Xubanto, soz

Videonauth

if i type only ubuntu and windows its actually on the second entry from the top for me

Zacharee1

AU isn't even on the first page of results for me

Serg

02:44

@Zacharee1 if you on xubanto can u test my scripto ?

Zacharee1

@Serg I can reboot into it, but I want to at least try to sleep

What's the script supposed to do?

Serg

Minimize windows on specific display

Just go to sleep , it's ok

Zacharee1

yea, not worth it >:P

I would try it out otherwise

and maybe I will

I took the caffeinated stuff

Videonauth

@serg why not set up a VirtualBox for dualscreen and test it?

Zacharee1

random lel

Serg

02:47

@Videonauth I have virtualbox , but i don't know how to set up dualscreen on it. It only allows me to enable one screen. Do i need the restricted extras for it ?

Zacharee1

Check the VM settings

Videonauth

Weird i can choose how many screens i want

they both run on xscreen 0

Zacharee1

@Serg was trying to do it from within the VM

Serg

I did that . . . then why i don't see the screen split ?

Videonauth

go full screen

Serg

02:50

no, i did the same thing that videonauth showed

Zacharee1

@Serg did you reboot the VM?

Videonauth

it should then span over your both screens

Serg

yes rebooted multiple times

Videonauth

weird

let me download an xubuntu image and i fiddle around here a bit with virtualbox

edwinksl

ask on AU

Serg

02:55

and shared folder doesn't show up

Videonauth

shared folder is easy install dkms if you not have already and install, btw reinstall tthe virtualbox addons inside the virtualbox

Serg

gonna install the guest additions now, see if that helps . . .

but i don't recall having such issue with other versions of ubuntu

Maybe I should just say "screwit" and write only for unity . . . i just wanna test if that will work on lubantu and stuff

On a side note, computers are awesome . . . .

edwinksl

lol 0.80% store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

we are the 1% guys

Videonauth

03:10

has been more worse tho

Zacharee1

@Videonauth (worse)

Videonauth

2 years ago we only had about 0.2x %

@Zacharee1 thanks

so have the cdimage now going to install a VM

Serg

I wonder why companies don't push for writing games for Linux. I mean, it's more market for them, right ?

Videonauth

the problem is they see those numbers and then decide after calculating that hiring a whole team to convert the games to linux/OpenGl is not worth the effort

But since unity3d and so on slwoly all give you the option for developing cross plattform it might get better

many of the small developer studios already going this route and provide linux running games

but it still will take a while till the big nes adapt

for this i think steamOS is a game changer

edwinksl

thanks gaben

Serg

03:17

Whoever invented fireworks, I hope he gets roasted in hell on a medium hot fire

edwinksl

what happened

looking forward to fireworks on july 4 (and aliens)

Serg

@edwinksl i don't mind fireworks on 4th of july , but stupid people be popping them on all the other days, whole evening

at least yesterday was quiet because of the rain

people are duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum

edwinksl

oh yeah

they sound like gunshots too

annoying

Videonauth

I still dont get the need for fireworks to be honest, each years silvester we fire up tons of money and on the other side people on this world are still starving to death

i refrain already since 30 years from spending money on fireworks at all because of that

edwinksl

agree

Serg

03:23

agree with that too.

Because who cares about other people ？ Let's blow sh*t up and look at the bright colors . . .

which effectively does nothing

everybody wows and ahs and oohs , and then goes home

Zacharee1

Apparently drinking a lot of water can help negate the effects of caffeine

@Serg fireworks are fun

Videonauth

yep, if they would send all the mney to people who might have something from it, building schools and infrastructure there would be far better and this warm fuzzy feeling of having helped will stay longer

Serg

brb , need to go drink a shot

Zacharee1

@Videonauth there you go. Just not spending the money isn't a good thing. Because instead of helping and not having fireworks, you just don't have fireworks.

Videonauth

I have spend in my past 30 years already lots of money on projects like building schools etc.

Zacharee1

03:26

I never got the "don't buy this because there's bad stuff in the world" since it doesn't actually suggest you redirect the funds. It just deprives you of what you wanted to do.

@Videonauth sehr gud

Videonauth

past few years i cant anymore because im on the lowest limit for my self

Zacharee1

OK, good. I thought you were still doing it o_O

Videonauth

no sadly cant anymore

i even spent 1 year in africa in my past to help building myself

only thing i got for it was a bed and food

Zacharee1

you're now one of those poor people who won't set up a crowdfund

if you won't do it, I'll set it up and force you to take the funds :p

If a horse from Nashville can get $9k, you can too

-_-

OT

Videonauth

mhmm

Zacharee1

03:43

The upvote troll is here

edwinksl

Zacharee1

Videonauth

Zacharee1

If every single question in a row has an upvote, even the bad ones

Videonauth

03:51

weird, well you cant change that

Serg

Well, I had returned . . . .sorta . . . Only to say that 3 shots of brandy later my shared folder mounts but doesn't list contents

Zacharee1

04:03

@Serg slow down there buddy. Remember the texts

Serg

I text the remembers

Joking..... I'm still sober....

Zacharee1

sure?

Serg

If I start mixing brandy and wine, that's gonna be a trouble. So far so good

Zacharee1

o_O

edwinksl

O_o

Zacharee1

04:06

I really should sleep

@edwinksl O_O

edwinksl

._.

Serg

Trust me , guys, you haven't seen me drunk. Like really drunk

Zacharee1

@edwinksl .–.

edwinksl

we should host a AU partay

Zacharee1

@Serg we haven't seen you in the first place

@edwinksl ubantu purty

edwinksl

04:07

at your house please @Zacharee1

Serg

@Zacharee1 good point. We should meet up and drink XD

Zacharee1

@Serg I would have to be German for that

@edwinksl wat

when you roll over onto your cat's tail

Serg

@Zacharee1 you already speak some German. Good enough

Zacharee1

@Serg I'm still in the US. The drinking age is enforced

and I don't want to be drunk

I already get enough headaches and dizziness

Serg

shared clipboard doesn't work for my virtualbox

welp, i have no way of transfering my script over to my lubuntu vm

Zacharee1

04:13

lel

file transfer?

Serg

i could git clone my repo . . . .but i wanted to do transfer that internally

Videonauth

did you enable the clipboard sharing in the vm's settings?

Serg

yes, i did

and it still doesn't work

Videonauth

mhmmmm weird

well i just finished installing xubuntu onto a vm

actually installing the additions

Serg

i officially hate lubuntu

Nathan Osman

04:20

How come?

Serg

It doesn't give me dual screen in Virtual Box, and it doesn't show stuff in my shared folder. It mounts the folder, but when i ls stuff , it's just not there

even though i sort of installed guest additions, it still complains

Videonauth

mhmmmm ok which version is your virtualbox? and which version the addons.iso or did you get it provided by the vbox-extpack ?

Serg

5.0.20r106931

Videonauth

hum, you might want to install it from the oracle site

im right now at 5.0.24r108355

Serg

why did i not have any issue like that with regular ubuntu unity then ?

Videonauth

04:27

no clue tbh

i run since the start already the one from the oracle site

@serg

wget -q virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/orcale-virtualbox.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5*
wget download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.24/…

then install the vbox extpack through the virtualbox add ons tap in the settings

i had my fair share to get kali running in virtualbox this is why im running this one

and it did serve me well

after that you not need to search for the iso to mount the additions, you simply choose it from the devices dialog at the bottom there you mount the version included in the extpack

Serg

04:43

Hmmm, I usually just download deb file from the same site . . . .I wonder if my vbox is just outdated

Videonauth

this is why i added the repo in my sources :) so i not have to worry, and as soon you got the extpack installed as well you will even get for this a message as soon you fire up virtualbox

mhmm but i have the same problem on xubuntu i dont get a dualscreen on it

just installed the virtualbox drivers in the software&updates , additional drivers tab

Serg

welp , this is not working out, so . . . .git to the rescue !!!

Videonauth

tbh honest now that i see the xfce DE i not like it, not my kind of game i guess

Zacharee1

IM TIRED BUT NOT AND I HAVE A HEADACHE

AGGHGGHGHHGH

Serg

yeah, i can relate to that @Videonauth overtime i started liking unity and gnome

@Zacharee1 maybe you need to drink

Zacharee1

04:52

Zacharee1

You know what's great?

Serg

Zacharee1

Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen can be taken at the same time
