Serg

edwinksl

pretty good for r/ubuntu that doesn't have that many subscribers

Serg

and I see OP is in the comments

edwinksl

21:32

indeed

Serg

I think this guy is ex-RHEL or something like that askubuntu.com/q/486833/295286

He's looking for csh in /bin

So i think he's from distro that has csh as interactive shell by default

Zanna

hahaha 6 upvotes for you need to install the software fam ^_^

it's a great, thorough answer, but the gist of it is... if you wannit, you gotta get it

Journeyman Geek

rhel dosen't do csh by default

I think OS X did once

only place I've seen that did csh by default was my old workplace

Serg

@JourneymanGeek FreeBSD uses it as default , freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-users/shells.html

hmmm, why did i think of RHEL ?

edwinksl

@Zanna or if OP had github.com/nvbn/thefuck, then OP could easily install the missing package with one word

Serg

21:40

classic ^

Journeyman Geek

lol

CodeX

genius

Zanna

hahahahahaha ^_^

CodeX

Serg

Zanna

21:47

Anwar

CodeX

Zanna

hmm... I should definitely make an alias for that @Serg

Android Dev

Anybody here good with video driver problems?

jeremy

hey guys

Android Dev

21:51

@jeremy hello

CodeX

hello

Anwar

edwinksl

@Zanna if you remember that peter mortensen guy with his edits, here is something to read blog.superuser.com/2011/04/27/peter-mortensen-editor-in-chief

Android Dev

@edwinksl I remember him

jeremy

i'm trying to install brcmfmac driver from here, any ideas what this means:

> For SDIO driver you need to copy the nvram for your system and place it in /lib/firmware/brcm. The nvram file name depends on the chip you have. The kernel log will tell you the exact file name. For the USB driver no nvram file is needed.

CodeX

21:52

rather then saying anybody good with x y z .. you can just ask the question .. no reply = no one knows

Zanna

yes I know exactly what to do with that @jeremy

shall we go to a different room?

jeremy

yes

Android Dev

I'm having a problem with screen tearing on YouTube. I have yet to notice it anywhere else. I have a GTX 650 with the Nvidia drivers.

Anybody know how to fix it?

If so please ping me...

edwinksl

nope, i use a potato intel gpu...

CodeX

yeah browser uses intel gpu

what happens if you disable Hardware acceleration

Serg

22:03

I once had this peculiar issue, where the new wireless card would make any sort of video or music playback stutter. Plug back the old wireless card and it works flawlessly.

and it wasn't like video play back on the web. Even local videos would stutter

CodeX

I had that issue in mint .. but not in Ubuntu

probably they were using different kernels

Serg

well, damn you, heemayl ! Posted answer in all languages . . . i was about to do python . . .

( disclaimer , I'm not actually mad - i'm being sassy )

edwinksl

5 languages, good stuff

Zanna

22:19

edwinksl

Q: How heavy is elementaryOS over classic Ubuntu?

I feel that with all the additional apps pre-installed, and relying heavily on deriving elements from Ubuntu and Gnome, elementary must be heavy. So I would like to know an as-quantitative-as-possible analysis of how heavy the OS is on RAM (and may be the system in overall) compared to Classic-U...
