?? weird. Should I flag that comment?

I dunno

how much weight does "retarded" carry here?

And if that's their reason for why my answer isn't really an answer, then I don't think they really know what they're talking about :p

(See? "they" ;) )

I can't even understand what it's supposed to mean

he's saying "if anyone manages to do what you say in that sentence, they don't qualify to use a computer and shouldn't be allowed to touch one"

lol nice, I was just writing 'he' myself because Dariush is an Iranian boy's name but you never know ^_^

darn it

gonna guess "he" though

who is this?

yeah but it still makes no sense (and yeah my guess would be he too)

Dariush!

who the dash is that

the person who downvoted @Zacharee1 's post and made a weird comment presumably

that was his profile pic

this guy:

he's saying to lose the hyperbole

but 6 other people like it

at least

I can sense what he means.

hey, I said it wouldn't really happen

someone who can manage to blow their computer or otherwise make their system unusable should not try to upgrade it. Should instead let the system upgrade itself on its own (like auto updates or whatever)

but that's the same thing :p

misunderstandings on all accounts.

I wasn't trying to say it could blow up because of the user interaction

Try simplifying your answer so it doesn't have to be read between the lines.

last sentence, the one in bold?

then maybe rearrange it. You see, not everyone reads everything in an answer.

or you can live with the downvote and a semi intelligible comment. meh

they should before they vote

I mean the second paragraph says the first is very unlikely, just that it's possible

> You could could upgrade

I would -1 that.

I saw that

oh dear dear

@jokerdino well I took that out. Does that mean a +1? :3

what good will it do if it's gonna get purged in 3 months time?

OT askubuntu.com/questions/810056/…

Is there any more helpful info I should add to the comment?

well to me it seems like a nice comment

Thanks, I'll leave it at that I think.

If we ignore that it's a 11.04 question, what information can we provide them?

I didn't understand what he was talking about. "No default UI"

oh..wait.. he may be in boot loader stage of syslinux

yeah, that's what I am thinking too

We used boot live command in these cases. I leave a comment there

The OT reason is OT imo in that question

I think my intention was to lead them to a proper path because whether they are installing 11.04 or 16.04, they probably would run into a similar problem.

That's why I wasn't sure whether further info was needed. Thanks for helping!

seems to be a very dangerous post askubuntu.com/review/late-answers/602074

probably... but we can't be sure imo. I see one release worked and another came with these weird problem

19 more delete votes needed :(

@AnwarShah I guess that's a reasonable stance. We should suggest them to try installing a supported release and we can proceed from there.

@jokerdino agreed. 11.04 is EOL anyway

@Zanna yikes

@Zanna I read the question title now.

Why is this closed as Off Topic? askubuntu.com/questions/524462/…

I was reviewing this one askubuntu.com/questions/809954/uninstall-ubuntu-16-04 which points to a question which was closed

@AnwarShah talking about putting OS back on

but we have one related with Windows

is that so? Might be because of popular demand.

@AnwarShah it's not a duplicate of that question. I don't think so.

bbl

i haven't vote as duplicate

and that windows post has a lot of upvotes... askubuntu.com/questions/133533/…

yeah. I was talking about that one

@AnwarShah "Pick up your OS dvd and install it" has nothing to do with UBuntu.

I agree. but it seems we same a windows counterpart of it

and the title phrased exactly same

close it too? >:-D

duped that 2nd one

OP solved the question and leaves the solution in a comment. I've made the comment a CW answer askubuntu.com/q/805592/61218

there cv'd that one too @zanna >:)

having lots of upvotes is no reason not to close it

lots of views also

bbl

haha OK I VTC it too... but many times i marked questions as dupe of that one!

Upvoted your CW @AnwarShah this one that I made in the same kind of situation could use an upvote too askubuntu.com/questions/783587/…

so this is weird

websites where you need the back button annoy me

chineesafhaalpamela.nl

check that one _O-

so I call them for an order...

THAT numbr on the page. I get the fish and chips -next- -door- and they put me through to the chinese takeway to order >:-D

that seems far too complicated _O-

thing is... their wantan soup is so great I accept it :-D

what's with the GIGANTIC font...

and that >:-)

I can handle the font. But click a button and you then must use the backbuttons is so early '90s LAST CENTURY

indeed

haha

an agency I work for got a new website and we all get a page on it... it has this hyperactive panel that maximises on mouseover and minimises otherwise... when maximised you have to scroll down to see all the options, but it's impossible to grab the tiny invisible (literally invisible... black on black maybe) scroller because the panel resizes when you put the pointer there. I emailed the agency and they passed me on to the devs, and they were like "I'll make the scollbar easier to see"

AKA: "We've done this work and have been paid for it now. We will do everything to ensure we do the least work possible from now on. Good day to you. I said Good day!"

:D

I probably shouldn't have replied and said 'could you not just have a button to minimise the panel?' Got no reply, suprisingly!

he got fired ofcourse and we then made a new website. Got paid twice too.

happy days...

since the backend we made was reuseable we did not have to invest a lot of time D:

HUNGRY

gimme my food :P

wantan soup \o/

bb

bon appetite...

@Rinzwind Made with Serif WebPlus X8

It's HTML5 and everything.

@Zanna done

thanks:) one less unanswered question :)

ah, link it to the rev history when doing that.

and maybe even blockquote it

ah thanks! I wondered how to make it right... I'll fix it

@zanna, I got it done. Check through if I managed to miss something.

looks great, thanks a lot for fixing it and educating me on how to handle this situation :D

this revision is pointing to OP's answer in question I think askubuntu.com/revisions/783587/3

@AnwarShah yeah but adds and cuts make it more obvious where an answer was.

Hm, actually I meant to link to the entire history.

but i redirected to 1 revision. i see no adds and cuts!

that sounds good

My bad. Linked to rev 3. No escaping me this week.

see. it's ok now

Thanks for catching it.

sorry for not catching it >_<

catch the nO0bular noobs here :D

that's the revision link again

ooh I got a revival badge for the CW now it got upvoted ^_^ I didn't realise that you could get badges for CWs

the phrase

@AnwarShah lol saw it now

oh yeah :) I enjoyed that language of that post too

I also saw 'I'm noobtacular in Linux' which made me smile

ha ha

@Zanna you seem quite aware of what to do with a lot of things. Almost like you were familiar with the procedure or is this your second account?

@AskUbuntuMeta O.o

I left a comment there

OMG, rinz you lurker.

@jokerdino really? :D no it's not my second account. I try to pay attention. But I'm not always successful >_<

@jokerdino waching judo

He now asking 'How to become SE employee?' :D

@Rinzwind oh man, reminds me of Gwon Han-na of London olympics.

hahaha that post is cracking me up

dutch girl lost :(

yeah, that was 4 years ago.

back when I was a kid.

she lost 0 - 101 >:-D

@AnwarShah lol should have expected that coming.

@Rinzwind you lot will win in cycling anyway, don't worry.

and we should have a guarenteed gold in BMX

oh yeah, forgot I should be cheering against you in hockey

tsk

and even handball. SKorea should prevail.

Go Hanna!

did you watch the waterpolo between AUS and HUN?

Nope, should I?

watch that O O

bbl

yay water fighting

Lol first group game is SK vs NED in Handball women

so

bbl :=)

bbl

@AskUbuntuMeta heh. everyone else contributes seriously and earns money elsewhere.

Ask Ubuntu is playtime

Hooray! My misbehaving Lucid Lynx server VM is now a slightly mischevious Precise Pangolin server, and should hopefully be a well-behaved Trusty Tahr soon. though I've definitely kicked off the upgrade process too close to home time!

hahaha I love the behavioural descriptions

There've been some interesting steps in the process.

excellent!

No login prompt for a couple of old releases until I press Ctrl+Alt+F1. Then precise decided to start generating resolv.conf with 127.0.0.1 in it every reboot, and ignore the nameservers in my interfaces file... but fingers crossed.

fingers crossed for you

fun fact: my keyboard doesn't work in recovery

Oooh, Laptop?

yep

Is it possible to plug in an external, if you have one?

it's OK, I was only exploring, not trying to recover anything updates backups

Sometimes the scare is a good reminder.

I don't have one, but if I had one, it might work ^_^ still backing up

****BARGES INTO THIS ROOM****

HELLO

How forthright!

HI SORRY FOR YOUR DOOR

just out of curiosity, who actually has/uses IPv6?

Nah, too scary

because it's hard to remember, i guess?

In fairness, I like what I've seen of it, all of the information you can get just from the address. Just seems like another thing to add to the pile of things to learn!

you mean the companies using IPV6 ?

it's nice, but the address lengths are very annoying.

but that's an argument for using hostnames for everything

@KazWolfe @EVERYONE help

what happened

also why ping me specifically?

My sister abuse me life in danger help

call the police

we can't do anything from our terminals, unfortunately.

@Serg Help

huh !

but because this is a real case... @NathanOsman @Seth @Oli @StefanoPalazzo

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Nope. You physically call somebody for help if you need it.

sorry for pinging you all, mods, but... read above.

i'm not sure what the procedure is, but as it's been placed here, it now involves SE, so... sorry.

She beat me in my head and said see will kill me!

Isn't that what siblings are for?

call your mom Lol

@HenryWHHackv2.0 If she's not an adult, then contact whoever is in charge of her about this.

If she's an adult, and you have a legitimate fear for your life/body, then call the police.

Hope you're still intact @HenryWHHackv2.0.

pretty sure he is

probably need some fixing after his sister broke him.

Laborious update process complete, I'm off!

Toodlepip!

@jokerdino sudo apt --reinstall install HenryWHHack2

I wouldn't do that.

does reinstalling clear out old configs?

probably not the best topic to joke about rn. We don't know if he is safe and secure.

point taken

but now i'm geniunely curious about that reinstall config thing

configs most often stays

i'll test with nginx on one of the retired prods later.

I don't have siblings so not sure what the procedure should be

o.O

@KazWolfe How to name non-dangerous snakes in a technically correct manner then?

@KazWolfe not much anyone can do other than calm the person down.

Oh wait.

Wrong person.

I already wondered...

Sorry @ByteCommander for the phantom ping.

I always get you two mixed up for some reason.

No problem, happens :)

However, our icons and names are pretty different, so why are you mixing us two up exactly?

Well, Kaz used to have a similar icon.

Accurate timekeeping.

NTP is orders of magnitude less reliable.
