@WinEunuuchs2Unix actually figured out how to hide it. I can still post it though

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Just curious as I was planning systray / app indicator tonight using Sysmonitor Indicator which you read about 6-8 months ago according to comment you made.

Serg

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Oh a Mandarin icon?.... hmmm

Serg

at least getting to this icon to show up was giant PITA

WinEunuuchs2Unix

my display will be text only based on question asked by user here where you commented webupt8 had a story which they did: askubuntu.com/questions/740683/…

Serg

00:04

I used to slightly complain about fcitx method, but it seems a littl ebetter now

WinEunuuchs2Unix

displaying on the systray using bash will be wonderful for me!

Serg

Clicking on tutorial on youtube. title in English, video in Indian/Pakistani/something middle eastern . . . . dammit

Journeyman Geek

lol

David Foerster

Ugh, I'm back-porting a newer OpenJFX to Trusty. Most of the build time is spent on huge library dependencies that already exist in the repositories. :-/

Never mind… there's no libwebkit. Every toolkit (GTK, Qt, JFX) has its own port of WebKit.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

00:31

^^^ Sounds horribly complicated. I just got bash to send text to systray. Rather than boring old "Hello World!" I went with "Hi" :)

Zacharee1

Serg

You know you've been doing homework and designing a digital counter to output first 7 primes, and then 2 hours before class you realize you've been doing it the wrong way ? Yup . . . I am experiencing that exact same thing right now

@Zacharee1 ooo, purrty cowlors

Zacharee1

yehs

@WinEunuuchs2Unix do you understand this code snippet?

.method public static init(Landroid/content/Context;)V
    .locals 7
    .param p0, "context"    # Landroid/content/Context;

    .prologue
    const/16 v6, 0x53

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Primes as in 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13?

Serg

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yes, but in binary , using flip-flop circuits

WinEunuuchs2Unix

00:35

@Zacharee1 Gimme a break... Here's the code I just wrote:

rick@dell:~/bin$ cat indicator-sysmonitor-display
#!/bin/bash

echo "Hi"

exit 0

Zacharee1

I'm asking if you understand it

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I guess I could read it...

... "line 36" is defined or invoked twice.

just some random variable declarations and functions to me.... sorry :(

@Zacharee1 what was the point of this exercise? ^^^

Zacharee1

it's Smali

supposed to be like Assembly

WinEunuuchs2Unix

You realized my last big ASSEMBLER program was in 1984 and since then I've only done a little in-line code for Quick Basic back in the late 80's / early 90's. Never did get the quick boot going where BIOS POST is bypassed on reboot.

Plus maybe a little in-line assembly code for C# in the mid 90's.

Zacharee1

00:55

nubcakery

WHY CANT LG JUST RELEASE PROPER SOURCES?

GAH

WinEunuuchs2Unix

hehe.... I'm a self-proclaimed nubcake... @Nathan bailed me out last night telling me root user using sudo is like a NOOP.

Zacharee1

wat

WinEunuuchs2Unix

You weren't here last night.

it was a question and answer thing and I had to quickly delete my answer thanks to Nathan's help blush

Nathan Osman

To be clear, it's not harmful, just redundant.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

then we all vote closed the question hehe

Nathan Osman

00:57

It's like saying "root user elevating to root".

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Yes NOOP isn't harmful... it took me 5 months to learn Bash's NOOP is :

Nathan Osman

Python is the only language (other than assembly) that has a keyword for NOOP, that I know of.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I wanted to post a question today "How do I create user Root, and what password do I use?"

Journeyman Geek

The root user exists

just has no password

WinEunuuchs2Unix

crap... isn't that a security hole in Ubuntu?

Journeyman Geek

00:59

nope

You need a root user for many things

WinEunuuchs2Unix

so I can sign on with user ID "root" and use no password on my desktop?

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix it's not that it's just open for anyone to login....

Journeyman Geek

root on desktop....

Zacharee1

it doesn't have a password, so until one is set, it can't be logged into

Journeyman Geek

let me get the rolled up newspaper.

Zacharee1

01:00

and you need sudo to set a password

WinEunuuchs2Unix

greeter not desktop

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Well, not quite.

Zacharee1

sudo passwd root

Journeyman Geek

Even then you can set specific things not to allow root login

Zacharee1

orly @NathanOsman

Nathan Osman

01:00

Apps that are setuid root could be used to gain root privileges.

sudo just happens to be one of them.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman well fine, but that's not logging in as the root user, that's using Dirty Cow :p

Nathan Osman

You shouldn't ever be able to log in as the root user.

Just elevate when necessary to do stuffs.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Dirty COW... not Cow = MOOOO

Zacharee1

unless you sudo passwd root

Journeyman Geek

s/be/need

Nathan Osman

01:01

@Zacharee1 root is the default, so:

sudo passwd

Zacharee1

ok fine

sudo passwd

Nathan Osman

:D

Zacharee1

when you lose the argument so you need to correct semantics

WinEunuuchs2Unix

what is my sudo passwd on default install?

Nathan Osman

Lol.

Zacharee1

01:02

:p

@WinEunuuchs2Unix nada

Journeyman Geek

@WinEunuuchs2Unix if you run a web server, it needs to be started as root (cause low port) then drops down to www-data or nobody

Nathan Osman

@WinEunuuchs2Unix A default Ubuntu install?

Journeyman Geek

smacks @WinEunuuchs2Unix with a rolled up newspaper

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman default Windows install of course

Nathan Osman

Or just Linux in general?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

01:02

yes I only setup my own name on Ubuntu.

Journeyman Geek

sudo passwd is a pair of commands.

passwd is an arguement for sudo

Nathan Osman

Sidenote: The list of users is in /etc/passwd, which for historical purposes used to also contain user passwords.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

so is -i and -s

Zacharee1

hackers are also an arguments for sudo

@NathanOsman in plain text?

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Well, I kind of doubt it.

Zacharee1

01:03

ok good

WinEunuuchs2Unix

rick@dell:~/bin$ cat /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin
bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/usr/sbin/nologin

uucp:x:10:10:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/usr/sbin/nologin

Nathan Osman

But passwords have been moved to /etc/shadow and are hashed.

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 I think they were hashed

Zacharee1

whew

now that would've been a security hole

Nathan Osman

/etc/passwd is world-readable though.

Zacharee1

01:04

or more like a security cave

Nathan Osman

So I doubt they were plaintext :P

Zacharee1

you'd have to be a nubcake to put something like fastboot oem dm-verity-disable in your bootloader code...oh wait

it really feels like OnePlus just pushed out a ROM build that was lying around, wihtout getting it ready for production

Nathan Osman

Somehow I get the feeling we're not talking about sudo anymore...

Zacharee1

because there are a lot of stupid security holes being found on the OP3/T

@NathanOsman hue

WinEunuuchs2Unix

how do you sign on as root?

Nathan Osman

01:06

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You don't login as root. You elevate.

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix sudo passwd root!!!!!

Nathan Osman

Login as your normal user and then use sudo to elevate.

If you must login as root, at least do:

sudo su

Zacharee1

no

sudo -i

scrub :p

sudo -

Nathan Osman

Linux principle: do as few things as root as possible.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

sudo -i just gives # it doesn't change to root@hostname

Zacharee1

01:07

@NathanOsman rm?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix # usually means root user

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 grep?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman git?

(gud)

ugh

I need a theme for my Spanish essay

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 wget icanhazexplanation.com?

Zacharee1

something I can either write an article or blog about

@NathanOsman $_POST ihavenofreakingclue.net

Rinzwind

@NathanOsman they where in the old days. but back then passwd was not world readable ;)

Nathan Osman

01:08

@Zacharee1 Light diffraction.

Or, in plain English, "Hue".

Zacharee1

it's 400 words at most

maybe something simpler

evolution of internet memes? lol

WinEunuuchs2Unix

spanish word for google.

Zacharee1

Google

Rinzwind

by the way there is a reason for it

"Any utility that inspects file metadata needs to be able to read /etc/passwd (and /etc/group) in order to be able to resolve the numerical IDs used by the kernel and its subsystems to the human-friendly names that we rely on. Tools that need to find your home directory (mail delivery agents, etc) look that information up in /etc/passwd, and inet miniservers like fingerd look up your details in /etc/passwd."

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Write about snow.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

01:09

no silly....the essay would by your proposal for spanish word for google.

Nathan Osman

I've become an expert on snow lately.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

google = to look at something

get spanish words

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman of course, you're Canadian

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I'm in canada too

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 You get snow down there too.

Zacharee1

01:10

@WinEunuuchs2Unix mirar a algo?

@NathanOsman 3in

my chats are being throttled

thanks, Obama

Nathan Osman

It's a trap!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

mirar a algo sounds like a great spanish name for google... now you have 397 more words to explain why!

Zacharee1

@WinEunuuchs2Unix this is basically a short report

need three sources for something

Nathan Osman

"muchacho de agua"

What is that in English? (I'm testing myself.)

Zacharee1

~guy~ of water?

Nathan Osman

01:11

It was supposed to be waterboy.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I'm one source, Nathan is another source... we'll use Rinzy as a third source against his will.

Nathan Osman

My Spanish really isn't all that bueno.

No wait.

Zacharee1

no

Seth

translate: muchacho de agua

(from Spanish) water boy

Nathan Osman

That isn't right.

Seth

01:12

bing likes it.

Nathan Osman

\o/

Zacharee1

@Seth Bing lol

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Any product from Microsoft should be called "Bling".

Seth

Google Translate says "water boy"

Rinzwind

Aguatero is waterboy :=)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

01:14

They say Bill Gates is on track to become world's first Trillionaire but I don't believe them.

Nathan Osman

If I ever write a game with a rogue AI, I'm naming it Bing. It will appear innocent to its creators until towards the end of the game, when it will turn on its creators and begin enriching uranium at rate too fast for its human operators to intervene at which point Bing will hold the city hostage until more uranium is mined and it can stockpile large nuclear weapons and...

What were we talking about again?

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind water carrier

WinEunuuchs2Unix

speaking of water...shower time...bbl

Nathan Osman

I should be thinking about supper...

Prolly pizza.

Zacharee1

@Seth well muchacho is really a "youngster"

I'd say niño is better

Nathan Osman

01:15

I thought it was literally "boy"?

@Zacharee1 Good point.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman it's slang -- also for servant or maid

Rinzwind

nino is better yes

Nathan Osman

@Rinzwind You're Dutch, I thought!

Rinzwind

and no I ant gonna search for the ñ :P

Zacharee1

right, the Dutch aren't allowed to learn Spanish

Rinzwind

01:16

@NathanOsman yes sir

Nathan Osman

And you know Spanish?

Rinzwind

yes sir

Nathan Osman

Here I can barely master English...

And enough Spanish to find a washroom.

Zacharee1

silly Canadians

@NathanOsman how do you say it?

Nathan Osman

"donde esta el bano"

Or some such thing

Zacharee1

01:17

está

baño

Rinzwind

dutch, english, german, french, japanese, spanish in the order @NathanOsman
but I also know how to google :+)

Zacharee1

otherwise it'd be where this the bathroom

Rinzwind

thing is; italian, spanish, portuguese and french are a lot similar.

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Okay, when I am asking someone, I'll be sure to mention there's a diacritic on the letter.

Zacharee1

very @Rinzwind

@NathanOsman well you'll either be putting emphasis on the first or second syllable

Rinzwind

01:19

so learning one of these helps a lot getting to know the other 3

Zacharee1

EH-stah (esta) -- eh-STAH (está)

Nathan Osman

I knew how to say, just not how to transcribe it.

Serg

@Zacharee1 eh-STAPH-IT

Zacharee1

@Serg ñó

Nathan Osman

Hue.

Serg

01:20

是, ^_^

Nathan Osman

Lots of people forget the diaeresis on the second "o" in "coöperate".

Zacharee1

umlaut?

Nathan Osman

Same thing.

Rinzwind

@NathanOsman learn Esperanto and you get by in Italy, Spain,Portugal and France.
Plus is it an easy to learn language

Nathan Osman

I am a pedant :D

Zacharee1

01:21

since when does English have diacritics?

Nathan Osman

@Rinzwind Learn Latin and you can at least converse with priests everywhere :P

Zacharee1

yay

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 only in Germany and Holland it is an umlaut

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Since English adopted foreign words.

Zacharee1

well I learned a bit of German, and that's where I learned the word

Serg

01:21

I effectivelly have 1 hour to finish my homework and I'm still half way through problem 1 and half through problem 2

Rinzwind

@NathanOsman nobody knows who to pronounce latin (all of them are guessing >:) )

Serg

I need to start cloning myself so that I can do my homework more effectively

Zacharee1

I like how @Videonauth's chat bubble showed up right as @Rinzwind mentioned Germany

Nathan Osman

@Rinzwind Easy enough to fix. Just listen to a tape from around 400 A.D. and you've solved the problem.

Zacharee1

wait wat

Serg

01:22

Ja, Deutschland !

Zacharee1

@Serg nein

Deutschland

Serg

Nobody saw anything

Nathan Osman

Of all foreign languages, I've probably been exposed to German the most.

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 here is a list: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:English_words_with_diacritics

Zacharee1

Christ

Rinzwind

01:23

@NathanOsman me too. I live 10 miles away from German border

Zacharee1

I mean Chríst

@Rinzwind ...

Serg

@NathanOsman most of those don't seem to be english though

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 I do!

Videonauth

Of all alien languages i was exposed to german the most sadly ;p

Rinzwind

my flat where I live was in the news today :D

Zacharee1

01:24

@Rinzwind Does German really count as a foreign language if you speak Dutch?

Nathan Osman

Most of those words and phrases show up in the arts, not normal everyday usage.

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 yes. English and either German or French was mandatory at school as a foreign language

Nathan Osman

"raison d'être", for example.

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind but German is so similar

Videonauth

@Zacharee1 yes it does, same vice versa, they are quite similar in writing but in actual speaking its pretty hard to understand each other

Zacharee1

01:25

sounds like Italian vs Spanish

@NathanOsman wat mean

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 I don't often hear that phrase in a conversation.

But I have heard it used in songs.

Zacharee1

purpose

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 not really. The way sentences are set up is really off between the 2

Zacharee1

literally, reason to be o_O

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 prolly French origins.

Rinzwind

01:26

if you look at it like that Dutch and English are closer to eachother

Videonauth

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman it's literally French lol

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Hue.

Videonauth

python on its way to 5,67 GB ram usage

Nathan Osman

@Videonauth I once had a rogue Python script that gobbled up all my memory.

Zacharee1

01:27

not Chrome?

Videonauth

nah in this case its expected and intended

Zacharee1

more fractals?

Videonauth

yes

mandelbrot set, at 20k by 20k pixels and with an iteration depth of 1.6*10²⁶

Nathan Osman

Hey, new reality TV idea - Chrome vs. the World. Teams take turns writing apps. Then the apps are loaded (one at a time) onto a PC and run alongside Chrome. The goal is to use more memory than Chrome.

Chrome, would prolly always win though.

Nathan Osman

01:43

Le silence.

Videonauth

dang i ned moar RAM :(

MemoryError ....

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Hey @Videonauth haven't seen you in a Fortnight+

I'll send you my 8 GB when I upgrade to 16GB

Videonauth

i have 8 GB but didn't expect the ram need to be doubled when i want to output my mandelbrot set to mathplotlib

calculation done in 12053.310277999999 s (all in vain)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

maybe the program needs to be tweaked... msg to developer?

Videonauth

ok, send message to self*

sets status: wont fix

:D

WinEunuuchs2Unix

01:47

You wrote a library of math routines?

Videonauth

i wrote the mandelbrot routine

and im sure after 2 weeks of tweaking i have really codegolfed it and streamlined it, but ist simply to much data to hold in 8 GB ram and 8 GB swap

guess i have to tone that down a bit in calculation size

WinEunuuchs2Unix

set swap to 63 GB then?

let the OOM Killer and reaper figure it all out :)

Videonauth

i probably will double the swap partition yes

was a whole lot of data tho

WinEunuuchs2Unix

When I did my fill up ram tests though... Swap only hit 65% when RAM hit 95%+ and malloc () stopped new processes from starting up.

Thomas Ward

kaboom >:D

Videonauth

01:52

well time to restart the machine, it seems it messed up badly at the time it has crashed i have now 6 GB in use with merely only FF running

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Fire Fox?

There are bug reports of Firefox eating up RAM like @ThomasWard at a death ray laser store

Thomas Ward

pfft

those stores buy their equipment from me lol

Nathan Osman

Lol.

Videonauth

LOL

nah i got FF pretty good in check

Nathan Osman

TMW you have a tab open so long it pops up a message telling you the site has been upgraded.

Videonauth

02:04

well i go to bed now, lowered my calculation goals and rerun this while im relaxing

and this time saving the result as an SVG file before trying to push it directly to mathplotlib

WinEunuuchs2Unix

belated LOL

Videonauth

:)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Well have a good sleep and good luck with your RAM.... As you go to sleep instead of counting sheep you should count rams....

Videonauth

yes maybe we can do a collection to get me finally a board where i can use more than 8 GB total :))

WinEunuuchs2Unix

My laptop is supposed to be 8 GB, but lots of posters say you can install 16 GB.

Videonauth

02:13

but to be honest, even if i would have 1 TB ram i would probably run out of memory :p

WinEunuuchs2Unix

You can address up to 128 TB in Linux.

Videonauth

i know but there is only a few boards out there which actually only support 1 TB

:)

and they are pricy

WinEunuuchs2Unix

rick@dell:~/bin$ ll /proc/kcore
-r-------- 1 root root 140737477881856 Feb  9 19:14 /proc/kcore

I'd use a 1 TB SSD... PCI 2

^^^ I bet they are "steaming"

Videonauth

02:20

hehehehe

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Anyway the 9th district appeals court has upheld the ban on Trumps travel ban (according to Al-Jazeera) so they can still go to the states.

Videonauth

Well, I for now have banned the US of A from the list of destinations i would like to travel to :)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Funny thing is had Trump wanted to bomb those seven nations and kill people there it would be no problem.... but to stop them from travelling to USA is against the constitution.... go figure!

Journeyman Geek

"no problem" isn't true

ArtOfCode

I suspect the first part of that statement is more speculation than fact.

Journeyman Geek

02:23

Yup

Videonauth

cant tell much about this tho

Journeyman Geek

If a US president. ANY president wanted to declare a proper war he needs congress to agree

the war on terror is vaguely an overgrown militarised police action, and was kinda not done very well

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Iraq no declaration, Afghanistan no delcaration, Libya no declaration... the secret is "we are going to save the people from government".

Journeyman Geek

erm

the US never invaded libya

WinEunuuchs2Unix

bombed the living daylights out of it.

Journeyman Geek

02:25

That happens a lot

WinEunuuchs2Unix

And you don't call that war?

Journeyman Geek

Under many presidencies

that's a good question. But that's something that happens a lot under many presidents.

ArtOfCode

Those all fell under the "War on Terror", which Congress did agree to.

Loophole.

Journeyman Geek

And there's often a concequence.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

There were loopholes in the UNSC resolutions as well.

Journeyman Geek

02:27

and this is why good laws and other official things need to be scoped narrowly. I would say intelligently, but sneaking in things is pretty much a sport in washington I am told.

Thomas Ward

what's UNSC again?

ArtOfCode

security council

Thomas Ward

ah

WinEunuuchs2Unix

United Nations Security Council

Journeyman Geek

UN security council

ArtOfCode

02:28

ninja'd you both

Thomas Ward

whenever I hear "UNSC" I start thinking from Halo.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

notes typing speed

Thomas Ward

I usually never see it abbreviated

Journeyman Geek

lol

Thomas Ward

throws sticks at @WinEunuuchs2Unix

Journeyman Geek

02:28

I have a bit of drama I'm looking at elsewhere

WinEunuuchs2Unix

you didn't ninja cause you didn't capitalize and missed out "United Nations".

ArtOfCode

@WinEunuuchs2Unix that ain't what ninja'ing is, though :P

Thomas Ward

sigh more drama

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I thought it meant being first?

ArtOfCode

it's purely about posting the message first, as long as it conveys enough information

Videonauth

02:29

usage of abrevations reminds me all the time of that great scene in 'good morning vietnam' movie LOL

WinEunuuchs2Unix

haha ninja'd you :p

Journeyman Geek

@ThomasWard nothing you guys need to deal with ;p

Thomas Ward

as opposed to earlier :P

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Good sci-fi movie recommendations anyone?

Journeyman Geek

Would a series do?

Thomas Ward

02:38

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Depends what movie era you're after, and if you want pure scifi or scifi/action or what

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Journeyman a series is ok if it isn't Xed's "Mr. Robot" which I watched already.

@ThomasWard Any sci-fi would do as long as I haven't seen it and it's not Hollywood B movie.

Thomas Ward

yes but do you want pure scifi, or a subgenre of scifi, or what?

Journeyman Geek

@WinEunuuchs2Unix the expanse is really good

Thomas Ward

you can't just say "sci-fi movie"

Journeyman Geek

"semi" hard sci fi

WinEunuuchs2Unix

02:40

soft-Sci Fi... I'm still kind of innocent :p

Journeyman Geek

If you wanted something fun, killjoys and dark matter are closer to classic 90s sci fi in style

WinEunuuchs2Unix

never heard of killjoys I'll look that one up.

Journeyman Geek

(soft scifi - basically magic antigravity and other technologies not unlike magic)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I do think of witchcraft as sci-fi I guess.

no "killjoys" or "Kill Joys"... is the spelling correct?

found them "killjoys", "Killjoy 3" and "Kiljoy goes to hell".

Thomas Ward

so you want fantasy/sci-fi

Journeyman Geek

02:44

Killjoys (TV series)

Yeah I like fantasy too.

@JourneymanGeek I think "killjoys" will be a good series to watch but I'm subjective to binge watching so I won't start it tonight.

I saw "Passengers" the other night it was pretty good.

Does this never end? Now I'm fighting CSS over magically appearing scrollbars.

anyone know why emacs has a version 46? Is that why Ubuntu keep replacing the emacs I build with emacs 24?

~/emacs$ sudo apt-cache policy emacs
emacs:
  Installed: 26.0.50.aaron-1
  Candidate: 46.1
  Version table:
     46.1 500
        500 us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
        500 us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages
 *** 26.0.50.aaron-1 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

@AaronHall latest version according to GNU page is 25. Either the package in repository is wrong, or there's a special reason for that

Also, HDMI to VGA converter didn't do jack . . .My laptop still makes both VGA screens the same

I guess I need to contact the guy responsible?

Here's the package: launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/arm64/emacs/46.1

synaptic seems to be telling me that's the package that will be installed - I think it's automatically removing my built emacs as the old one.

This is how bad my debugging session has become: I'm now doing visual diffs between the page and my attempt to reproduce the bug in JSFiddle.

I hope Rob Browning isn't a super big-shot. I sent him an email asking if I should escalate his versioning to Canonical.
