If the meeting agenda is on how to spell nVIDIA you'll ace it!

:D I never thought i would ever get an upvote on this one

@ByteCommander are you the one who watches Dr. Who?

I'm going for a smike before meeting starts!

BBL8R

@Fabby technically it is possible in Ubuntu, but it's complicated and doesn't work with many cards

@Zacharee1 Yup, but @Rinzwind does too.

He's the one that made me watch it.

Christmas Special is out

it's weird, but it has a preview for the next episode, so they're finally continuing the series

@Zacharee1 most cards cannot do HotSpot... But you ...

I've just seen last years Christmas special with Santa and those dream monsters.

...mmmh. 2 modules bound to the same card couldwork...

Smoke!!! BRB

@Fabby could emulate how Windows does it

@ByteCommander I don't remember any of it ;p

There are those monsters that sit in your face and inject you a drug that makes you dream while they suck out your brain.

uhhhh

This is a weirdfile! From an obfuscated php virus file, that outputs it

Bye!

@ByteCommander @WinEunuuchs2Unix @Zacharee1 : Can you please explain to me why this question is off-topic -> askubuntu.com/questions/864858/… ?

@Zacharee1 Internet sharing?

@cl-netbox Cubic appears to be a program to create ISO's. Although they can create a Ubuntu ISO they can create it for other distro's as well. Plus they could create ISO's for non-Linux OS's using Cubic. Isn't such a program off-topic here?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix They created an Ubuntu ISO that has the proprietary nVidia drivers that get installed on run, in order to support their graphics card. They're having issues with that driver and logging in. The question isn't about the program, and they didn't ship their own Ubuntu, they just added a package to the ISO. How's that offtopic?

I don't see it as offtopic, IMO

@ThomasWard Thank you Thomas ! :)

ahhh, empty flags queue again :)

Well, idk. VTRed.

you're always allowed to open a Meta question on it though

which would be better xD

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Thanks for your explanation ... but then every question about how to install a program is off-topic - right ? :)

@cl-netbox Truth be told when others have already nominated a question for CV I don't research it as deeply as when I'm the first or second on board the CV train... Why do you think it should be reopened?

hi

@ThomasWard No way to retract CV but if some vote to reopen I'll jump on the reopen band wagon. Keep in mind that if custom kernels are OT just when they are newer and fix existing bugs, then custom ISO's, which can be drastically different and EXTREMELY CUSTOM, being on topic seems contradictory.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Thank you for your honest words ! :) I am just aware that the race for "VTC" takes up speed more and more ... especially here in the chat room ... and I guess that many others do the same that you did ! Am I totally wrong or shouldn't we first of all try to carefully check the real validity of questions and answers ?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix That's something I'd bring up in Meta, then. I'm happy to leave as is for now

until Meta brings it up

@cl-netbox how the heck is that off-topic

my opinion means squat, the community's opinion is more important :)

@Seth so you agree with me it's on topic?

yes

@Seth ask @WinEunuuchs2Unix, @ByteCommander, and @Zacharee1

@cl-netbox Open Source is all about building upon the works of others... I think that spirit may (subconsciously at least) have an impact in CV's too.

Sorry guys... Probably was late when I VTCed that. :P

@Seth yes Seth ... that's why I asked ! Thank you ! :)

@cl-netbox yes and it's annoying me. closing questions is not a useful goal. Answering them is.

^^^^ Using Bytes legal defense in my affidavit too :)

@Seth Thanks again ! Because that's why I joined AU in first place ! :)

hey, mistakes happen. God knows I've made my fair share. Lets just make sure we aren't turning closing questions into a goal here, because that should never happen :-)

@Seth And now you expressed my feelings perfectly ! :)

Gee reducing CV queue is a goal here.... naaaa never seen that in this chat room ;)

Anyway why doesn't someone migrate that question to meta, copy and paste the text above into answer and solicit more community input on if question should be reopened? (being one of the accused I can't do it :p)

@WinEunuuchs2Unix It's got nothing to do with you ... but there are others who are talking about closing here and closing there all the time ... :)

@cl-netbox Gee Really?... haven't seen a thing * whistles *

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Sorry, don't understand ... I just took this as an example ... You can find so many questions being dupe closed with a comment pointing to way outdated Qs and As, right as if this would be the main goal of AU ! :)

what'd I flag that as? o_O

oh

@cl-netbox I was being facetious... sorry bad humour is my calling-card... I agree about CV'ing to an old dupe, ie this is a 16.04 problem and the dup is from 12.04, is concerning.

so we support custom Ubuntu ISOs like that?

^^^ my legal defense too

Meeting finished

@Zacharee1 It's a grey area (CC @WinEunuuchs2Unix)

yep 50 shades of grey

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Everything okay ... no problem ... hope that other members read our discussion about the general VTC topics too ! :)

well guys, 3 more days with rep like today and im able to see the flag que too

@cl-netbox It was a good discussion with lots of thought-provoking ideas. It would be a good meta topic I think.

@Videonauth nope

huh ?

... reply to earlier message

test new hat

@Videonauth well guy, more days with rep like today and I am getting ... nowhere ... hahaha ! :D

test

Ah!

It's there!

Grinch!

@Videonauth flag queue for mods

well access to moderator tools im currently 270 rep away

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Thanks for the positive response ! :)

@KazWolfe Starred!

@Seth Tried that! Lost 15000 rep. :-)

@Fabby What shall I say my friend ??? Lost ... :D :D :D

@Serg a scientific theory. Just like the difference between a hole and a black hole (CC@Seth) ;) :P :D

@cl-netbox yup!

Smoke! BRB.

So. 2016, a summary: Death. Death. Death. Brexit. Death. Death. President Trump. Death. Death. Christm...Nope. Death.

hope its over soon

7 teenage refugees in Berlin tried to set a sleeping homeless man on fire...Man oh man.

yes, sad it is

@WinEunuuchs2Unix One of the most shocking news this year for me !

If this is any indication future for Germany looks bleak... thanks a lot Merkyl

@Videonauth :D :D :D

Mrs Glue-Fingers ? yes time she leaves office

She's hoping to get 12 years in...is running for re-election

Can I vote in Germany as a EU citizen living there???

@Videonauth it's not the same thing

Sure, just hack the voting database.

I'll vote her out!

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Don't get me wrong : It is not because refugees have done it, we have many, many, many german monsters who do similar things ...

@Fabby not sure about that

They should put signs up at the German border "Full/Voll"

@cl-netbox German monsters have a sense of status/nobility that can make them think that way... Refugees / economic migrants should be trying harder to fit in... then their kids get the sense of entititlement... but not the first generation.

Same thing everywhere:

1st generation: happy to be there

2nd generation: not feeling welcome

3rd generation: integrated

another 75 years...

>:-)

SMOKE!

and as for the asking for more cctv coverage, no one asked me

@WinEunuuchs2Unix For me it is completely unimportant where someone comes from ... you are accidentally born somewhere ... important is the character of every single human being ...

thats only the rich ones who have a saying in anything they want it to get more CONTROL

Comission against fake news, my @r.s.e., all about to initiate a censoring mechanism

good ok thats my opinion about it

KSA & Qatar may have been good at bribing Obama, Clinton and McCain to do their bidding in Syria proxy invasion, but they'll have a harder time bribing Trump I think.

let's save the political stuff for Politics.SE, mmkay?

* Cast in spell by Sith Dark Lord keyboard remains silent *

To be fair, this is the "general" room :D

Yeah I though the only thing off-topic here was Ubuntu :p

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yes, agree - sometimes it seems so ! :D

Anyway you look at it, this is a great chat room to drop into whilst you are playing around on your computer doing other things... then toggle back in here from time to time to see if there is anything interesting going on.

mmm, food

@NathanOsman True, but I've had this discussion amongst friends, and it escalated to a barfight

sooo........

drunk conspiracy theorists are drunk

:P

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yes, that's true, so let's concentrate on the positive aspects and help other users on Ask Ubuntu who come here looking for assistance ! :)

ANYWAYS, so who wants to learn what I discovered about OpenVPN and PEBKAC config errors

me

@Fabby ................................................................................‌​.................................................................................‌​.....................................

@Serg DerpWolf!

@Zanna typing the configs is important, and typing them correctly is more important xD

@Zacharee1 DERPMAN!

bows Hullo

@ThomasWard lol good to know

i think i'm lucky. My mom packed me leftovers, and they are delicious

free lunch, for the win

@Fabby nah, the joke there was that on youtube there is a channel called "Game Theorists" and the host ends every video with phrase: " But hey it's just a theory . . . a game theory" . . . That's what Seth did there, and I get his reference ;)

Meanwhile, the DerpWolf is listening to Hyuna's "Morning Glody", having coffee and fried dumplings

@Serg :D :D :D

@jokerdino UTT made "21 must have ubuntu apps": omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/12/21-must-have-apps-ubuntu

@Seth Nice ! :) Congrats ! :)

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I have a BQ Aquaris Ubuntu phone (currently running Android as I needed Slack, which didn't exist for even Ubuntu at the time, let alone Ubuntu Touch)

Woah, it's #5 even.

It must mean people are using it.

@jokerdino Great ! Congrats to you too ! :)

I haven't done a thing to it for so many years now. So, no congrats to me.

@Fabby Alcatel One Touch Idol 3, 5'5" here... although The Source tried to sell me a 10" Samsung Tablet on mobility plan for $25 last week.

@jokerdino I told you :)

@jokerdino Sure they do - I guess all unity users have it installed.

I have it installed

@jokerdino you're one of the original devs that got it going, so yes, congrats to you :)

thats sad --> rt.com/news/371953-child-abuse-helpline-ireland An Irish child helpline received more than 1,000 calls on Christmas Day, with children reporting domestic violence and alcohol abuse in their homes.

@jokerdino Then don't forget to remove that annoying webapps-common dependency ! :D

a new hacker in the making --> huffingtonpost.com/2016/12/27/… Genius 6-Year-Old Uses Sleeping Mom's Thumbprint To Buy Presents On Amazon

@jokerdino I didn't know it was yours and I had it installed on 14.04. Unsure now and cannot chaeck as Ubuntu Laptop 3500Km from me.

@Seth seconded

@cl-netbox haha oh yea, I must get to it.

@jokerdino I might need to change my priorities. I wanted to get setup.py fixed first, but that's not happening. Maybe putting in some logic so that it doesn't crash and burn when the schemas don't exist should be next.

@Fabby It was made by the team, I was part of it. :)

:thumbsup:

@Seth yeah whatever we have is not enough to prevent it from crashing :/

@jokerdino Mahesh got it working on a few select schemas iirc, shouldn't be too hard to extend that.

good afternoon

temperatures around here are probably around 35ºC, which would be awesome if there were any waves

o/

@IanC southern hemisphere?

Brazil

yeah, south america @Seth

Ahh, ok. It's 5º here :P

I'm about to find out how cold it's outside, because SMOKE

+1ºC

@Serg, I'm about to log in tox, mind if I get a word with you there?

@IanC sure, in a minute

@Seth damn, I was complaining about 7ºC on winter dawns here! :p

where are you?

Heatwave - 5º here which is 13º warmer than yesterday.

Which is extremely warm for the time of year... Normally -20ºC.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix @Seth trying to look at the bright side, at least it's a good time in the year for snowboarding there? :)

@IanC I am confuzzled, but my profile seems to be completely clear, i.e. I see no contacts in contact list. Add me again

I'll add, still looking for the tox executable @Serg

I think I have your ID btw, if it didn't change

@IanC Never tried snowboarding...downhill skiing is a blast though.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I tried it, found it very cool, if I lived in a cold place I'd definitely do it a lot

Well,there's all config and history files, but my tox doesn't display any contacts . That's so bizarre

@IanC Washington, USA

@IanC I like the cold, so yes :)

@Serg I just got online, any signs?

never done snowboarding though. Or skiing for that matter :(

My contact list was collapsed into showing "online contacts" only -____-

gosh, i need more coffee

@Seth you should try it! The one thing that surprised me though is that snow isn't as soft as it looks on TV :p

so it kind of hurts falling while skiing/snowboarding

@Seth It's overrated: lots of effort for very little thrill... I like the après-ski though. :)

Shutting down...

Taxi has arrived.

4h flight to Siberia to catch.

ouch

It's only -10ºC now

Last week it was -38 there.

(-40ºF = -40ºC)

Talk to you tomorrow!

Awwwwww. Princess Leia died :(((((( Carrie Fisher R.I.P.

@Seth "Washington, USA" is kind of um...open to interpretation?... Washington State or Washington, DC would be preferable before "USA". :)

This whole year has been a huge disappointment

@Videonauth So next year can only be better!

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Don't let the DC people get away with calling it "Washington". We're the real Washington ;)

hehe

Carrie Fisher died :(

it feels like 2016 will kill everyone before it leaves..

Washington state is beautiful, spent some time in small town called Republic working for a gold mine.

@Seth ...

@Fabby I really really hope so

@Zacharee1 I do too!

@WinEunuuchs2Unix It is. I love it :)

@Videonauth it's coming

reminds me to hand imy patent fo filtering oxygen from the air (also called breathing)

I just installed nvidia-304.134 for my hybrid GeForce GT650M... but I'm too scared to reboot now :p

what? Princess Leia died? I thought she was out of danger after the heart attack :/

@IanC huffingtonpost.com/2016/12/27/…

@IanC be back to tox in minute, smoking outside

@Serg alright!

@Videonauth man, I didn't know she was still hospitalized :/

may she rest in peace

RIP

Damn pressure gauge, i need to find it somehow, or get a new one

I went over all of my usual stuff, and can't find it

Hello all!

hey @ElderGeek!

I'm voting to re-open askubuntu.com/questions/861333/… as the called duplicate doesn't answer the question.

o/

@ElderGeek and open it is

Thank you!

@ElderGeek your answer is for gnome right?

@Zanna - testing various flavours now. Will expand with full list

I think it only needs to be for gnome...

@Zanna Oh well, Gnome and Unity.... Overkill?

Richard Adams, author of "Watership Down," died December 24 at age 96, his family revealed Tuesday cnn.it/2inYs17

@ElderGeek hmm the question is about gnome, but it the answer includes unity I would consider that a bonus :D

have a +1

Hey, Serg will downvote it haha

@Videonauth reddit.com/r/Fuck2016

this year really sucks in many ways

@Zanna adding Kubuntu.... ;-)

Bad juju, my ssd cant boot

@IanC had to leave tox , disk issues

Yikes! I hope you have backups @Serg

@Serg cool, not sure you got the last messages, but I talk to you later! Gotta go for work

@ElderGeek em . . .i dont . . .Thats one of the problems

@Serg much important data on the ssd?

damn, a bit late here, see you all later! Have a nice evening

Not really. Most of my scrips and indicators are all on github or AU. I also have copy of matlab installed which cost me a bit and my tail implementation and gpg key , thats the only 3 important things @IanC

Bye see ya

@jokerdino hahaha

@Videonauth That's why git reset exists!
