Pichi Wuana

I'm trying to do the levels in OverTheWire that they are about SSH and security. After I logged in in their SSH server when I want to do different things I get permission denied... Any help?

Serg

@PichiWuana you can't do what the admin haven't permitted you to do. simple as that

Serg

01:15

dammit ! My script doesn't handle sigterm if it's called from a different script

edwinksl

are you planning to make a PPA for all your indicators

Zacharee1

Thank you, this is a much better answer than the one in the duplicate question. The "always on top" trick is clever and will be a decent workaround. — CaldwellYSR 24 mins ago

@Zacharee1 ooooooooooh, i see

Zacharee1

02:10

lol

@edwinksl xD

Serg

Sudoku desu !

Zacharee1

@Serg how'd'you keep managing to get on Webupd8?

who's nilarimogard?

oh, it's webupd8

so you applied to the PPA?

Serg

@Zacharee1 honestly , I've no idea. Andrew, the guy who runs the site, just starred one of my github repos one day, andI was like . . . something is gonna go down here. . . Next thing I know he got my disable_super_key.py script featured. I guess from time to time he searches AU for good answers and features them. As for the PPA, that's his thing. He made deb package and pushed it off to his PPA. Which is fine with me - my code is under MIT license,so if he wants to edit it - more power to him

Zacharee1

huh

cool

Serg

Funny thing, i was thinking to ask him for review a few days earlier before he did it

Zacharee1

02:15

but pushing the bugs to you, I see :p

@Serg well it all worked out

edwinksl

@Serg did he fork your repo? or did he just copypasta that one py file?

Zacharee1

yer famus, sergiy

@Serg you should start monetizing these

or at least ask for donations

@Serg what's your screen res?

Serg

@edwinksl he didn't fork, he just copy pasted the code. Which is alright - MIT license

@Zacharee1 um . . .just buildin monitor or with dual screen ?

Zacharee1

@Serg the screenshot one

edwinksl

@Serg oh i am not worried about the license. i am just wondering how he updates the file because now he has to check your repo manually for updates

Serg

02:18

@Zacharee1 from the answer earlier ? That's a crop . When I do screenshot i capture full screen, so have to crop it later

@edwinksl he watches the repo, probably that's how

Zacharee1

@Serg yeah, but what's your screen res?

Serg

1366x768 with just laptop screen. 2390x768 with VGA monitor attached @Zacharee1

Actually, i do want to set up paypal link for donations

I am broke and need muney

Zacharee1

@Serg well I can take a screenshot on a 1080p monitor, if you want a slightly higher res shot

edwinksl

wtf someone is spamming edits that just add tags

Serg

@Zacharee1 well, i'm fine with that right now. If I ever need higher res, I'll ask you, if that's ok

Zacharee1

02:22

@edwinksl I saw that. He's adding them because solutions might involve the tag

that guy right

edwinksl

jodamo or something

Zacharee1

@Serg yurp

edwinksl

Zacharee1

@edwinksl all I get are Minecraft videos

edwinksl

Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia - Official Acoustic Music Video - Madilyn Bailey - on iTunes

Zacharee1

I'm pretty sure my sister listens to her covers, since they're free with Prime

670k up / 13k down

very good ratio

Serg

terminate() or kill() method doesn't work if you call a subprocess with shell=True apparently FECK

edwinksl

03:05

@Zacharee1 lol yeah i can't remember what i actually clicked to go from madeline to this

Zacharee1

@edwinksl I'm gonna guess HOME >> SEARCH >> titanium covers

because that's the only plausible explanation

edwinksl

lmao no

Zacharee1

now go listen to the original :p

edwinksl

i prefer this cover to the original ._.

Zacharee1

This guy still hasn't deleted his answer askubuntu.com/questions/445670/ubuntu-chrome-os-look/…

Zacharee1

Unclear/too board/EOL askubuntu.com/questions/816520/…

@edwinksl TO META

where are our trumpeters?

edwinksl

03:14

probably meta.se. there might be dupes though, better check first

Zacharee1

Q: "Share" dialog disappears in review queues

Earlier today I was reviewing some questions and answers on Ask Ubuntu. I was finding a lot of NAAs (not an answer), so I was sharing them in AU chat for others to flag. Since I needed to share a link, I chose to click the Share button and copy the link the modal dialog gave me. It worked once o...

Anyone want to explain this?

Q: Ubuntu 16.04 is broken as far as our Epson printers are concerned

I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed on two computers, have not had any printing problems until I upgraded to 16.04, now not able to print. Epson XP-960 is useless due to the release of a broken version of Ubuntu, any hope for the future?

drivers 16.04

No, your Epson printers are broken as far as Ubuntu is concerned...

Serg

@Zacharee1 which bug?

Zacharee1

Scroll up to my Meta.se post

edwinksl

03:41

Zacharee1

Serg

I'll let you know in10 mins

Zacharee1

Nathan Osman

@edwinksl Printers are universally evil.
