anyone got a dupe target for this?

Jacob Vlijm

06:37

@Zanna doesn't ring a bell...

Zanna

can it be answered?

Jacob Vlijm

From 2012.... Will soon be kind of history I am afraid. I have no clue.

Zanna

if you can't answer it, I doubt anyone can. Maybe it is no-repro

Jacob Vlijm

Haha, I am not sure I deserve the honour, but I am pretty sure it will never get an answer...

I went with you.

Zanna

thank you :)

How long do we wait to burn safety? Is that enough consensus? @muru?

@Zanna I was hoping for a mod to make a synonym

I am not sure what they should be doing to fix it askubuntu.com/questions/900753/…

Jos

If it's really /var/www/html it is completely unrelated.

Also they claim that the "wifi is not being detected at all" while it's clearly in the script output. I'm wondering if he shouldn't simply do sudo ifdown wlp7s0:avahi.

melic

@muru saved my day while I am a total rokiee :D

my problem seemed apt repos and corrupted keys ; after many pages I visited I decided to share my problem and @muru discovered my bin/sh folder gone somehow and we fixed it. everything works fine right now ... simple but important..

@TheXed Your prayers to impeach Trump became possible with bombing of Syria on false grounds. Additionally no Congressional approval.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Isn't US bombing on Syria already?

@cl-netbox Is it morning there?

cl-netbox

@Anwar no, here is early afternoon - 13.40 German time :)

While some still believe that it will be impossible for a small team to keep the development of the Unity 8 and Ubuntu Touch alive after Canonical's decision to abandon both projects, UBports founder Marius Gripsgård thinks different.

" - SOFTPEDIA, Unity 8 Now Has a New Home over at UBports, Development Will Start Very Soon

ZaHeeR

@Anwar thanks .. you have a good memory

Unity 8 will die either way

Anwar

@ZaHeeR i think it's average. but thanks for the compliments :)

bbl...

ZaHeeR

11:47

the idea of convergence is hard to work

terdon

And a bad, bad idea to begin with.

ZaHeeR

yeah

blade19899

@ZaHeeR Unity 8, maybe. But, I hope Unity 7 will stay for much longer... The Unity interface feels right at home on laptops.

terdon

Instead of designing one interface that kinda works for all devices, let's design many interfaces that work wonderfully on different devices.

blade19899

GNOME3, is a monster on laptop screen-sizes!

ZaHeeR

11:50

@blade19899 I think much depends upon how much you got use to any interface

terdon

@blade19899 GNOME3 is a monster. Period.

Well, no, scratch that. I haven't tried it for a couple of years now. It might have improved.

At least it doesn't have the unity crap of those ugly, huge, designed-for-touch-screen boxes and the despicable iUbuntu-mac-wannabe-fan-boi menu. Grrrr

ZaHeeR

Gnome 3 is better for 4k display that I know .. but hard to multi task for me

blade19899

@terdon Still looks relatively the same: gnome.org/gnome-3

terdon

@blade19899 Can you still only have one window focused?

ZaHeeR

mac mac everywhere

blade19899

11:52

@terdon No idea :P - My desktop on Mate.

@terdon Those menus worked perfectly with lower screen sizes.

terdon

@blade19899 Yeah, Mate is quite good. I used that for a while but then moved to cinnamon which, to my mind, is a perfect balance between gnome2 and gnome3.

If you like mate, you will probably love cinnamon.

blade19899

I don't care if a feature was designed by Windows, Mac OS X, or other Linux distros. If the features is a great idea, then I don't care.

ZaHeeR

@blade19899 exactly .. me too

blade19899

This is open-source we all use each others work to create something of our own.

terdon

@blade19899 It's not the size. I find the menus very hard to use. I hate that they disappear when not focused and I hate that I can't have a menu per app. And yes, I know that you can fix that somehow, but still.

ZaHeeR

11:54

I like the taskbar of windows and close, minimize ..maximize button of mac

terdon

@blade19899 Of course! I just happen to think it's a horrible idea. The OSX desktop has some great features but the single menu ain't one of them.

blade19899

@terdon It's literally a click of a button, and the menus wont disappear.

terdon

@blade19899 Will they be attached to their window though?

blade19899

@terdon Yeah

terdon

OK, that's good.

blade19899

11:56

@terdon To each his own. I don't really like GNOME, but I don't bash it, because other people love it.

I don't understand why people have so much hate for Unity?? - If you don't care for it, use something else. Why spew so much hatred, when there are dozens of others interfaces out there. If you don't like one, choose another.

terdon

Oh, sure. I'm not really being serious with these rants. If it works for you, then great. I think it's great that all these different options are around. I just felt a little betrayed by gnome when they completely changed everything I had been using for years. But hey, that's why I switched to cinnamon.

ZaHeeR

@blade19899 welcome to linux world

blade19899

@terdon Might give Budgie Desktop a try, or just switch completely to SolusOS

terdon

Budgie looks good but, I think, doesn't do "focus follows mouse" and that's a deal breaker for me.

If I can't configure my DE to automatically focus the window my mous is on and to not raise windows that are focused, I can't use it.

blade19899

@terdon Feature request to the Developer?

terdon

11:59

Not sure that budgie can't do this, though, I just sort of vaguely think so. I may well be wrong.

Deepin can't and that's a shame 'cause it looked really cool.

blade19899

Budgie is gnome based, so this might work: worldofgnome.org/…

terdon

Yeah, if it uses dconf, that should work.

Q: AskUbuntu site security

I am concerned about the site security of AskUbuntu. I am not sure everything possible is done to protect my private user data. Canonical is presenting itself to support free and open software. Part of that idea is to prevent that closed source software is doing things that users would not expect...

discussion security

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix while it might be another nail in the impeachment drum...as unpopular as it was I think it was the right call, and if the world should be pissed at anyone it should be the Assad regime and Russia. Russia is either letting them make WMD's under everyone's nose, or giving them to Assad...and everyone knows the UN can't do anything about it because of Russia...Someone has to step up and help these people.

Assad is a maniac and a war criminal, something needs to be done with him, but Trump knows the US doesn't want to get into another war. I just wish he would have gone through the proper channels or made a formal declaration of war.

Journeyman Geek

12:21

@TheXed though, trump's basically thinking its a great distraction from everyone hating him

TheXed

@JourneymanGeek no we still hate him.

Rinzwind

@terdon "In fact, this site is part of a while network of Q&A sites (the Stack Exchange network) and Ask Ubuntu is just one site among many. "
Does not compute ^

i -> o

Journeyman Geek

whole not while? p

also. man the chap is a wee bit ...

@Rinzwind ?

Right

Fixed, thanks.

Mark Shuttleworth shared this on Google+ a few minutes ago -> plus.google.com/+MarkShuttleworthCanonical/posts/7LYubpaHUHH

Journeyman Geek

erm. He does realise this runs on windows right? ;p

I coulda sworn their load balancers were ubuntu but it seems they are centos

cl-netbox

... we have the ability to move quickly to support the Ubuntu GNOME community with all the resources of Canonical to focus on stability, upgrades, integration and experience.

reads as if ubuntu GNOME could take the lead for ubuntu desktop ...

blade19899

I don't like this change.

terdon

@JourneymanGeek "this"?

cl-netbox

same with me

terdon

12:40

@JourneymanGeek Ah, sorry, I thought you were referring to the Shuttleworth post.

Journeyman Geek

@terdon SE as a whole ;p

terdon

Yeah. Don't remind me. They must be the only serious tech company to run windows servers in the world.

cl-netbox

@terdon windows server ? does any real company run that ? :D

terdon

SE

cl-netbox

what ???

Zanna

12:45

hahaha craziness

cl-netbox

@Zanna Good afternoon ! :) Everything fine Zanna ?

Journeyman Geek

nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/…

They also use fastly as a CDN

(also, SE is awesomely open about things like this)

terdon

To give credit where credit is due, they're awesomely open about most things.

Journeyman Geek

yup

Zanna

@cl-netbox Good afternoon. I'm ok, thanks, hope all's well with you

Rinzwind

12:53

@JourneymanGeek it does

TheXed

@cl-netbox to answer your question, my school runs strictly Windows servers...

terdon

@TheXed But is your school a "serious tech company"?

Many run windows servers, but usually not places that are jam packed with extremely knowledgeable geeks.

Rinzwind

@terdon as they run windows servers....I would say yes!

terdon

uhuh

TheXed

@terdon no just me....

Rinzwind

12:56

@terdon YES THEY DO. They have a windows server as a honey pot and keep it quiet they are running slack :D

cl-netbox

@Zanna yes all's well so far ... except the fact that many people lost their jobs after the unity decision :(

terdon

@cl-netbox They did? Why?

cl-netbox

@TheXed is there a technical reason ?

TheXed

@terdon they don't need people to develop it anymore....

@cl-netbox technical reason for what?

cl-netbox

@terdon I posted this yesterday here already ... please wait, I search the article again ...

TheXed

12:57

@terdon they just need people to maintain current versions, so they have to either re-assign current developers, or get rid of them.

Rinzwind

@terdon Canonical needs investers (besides Mark) and they want to invest IF Canonical trims down its projects.

terdon

I would just be surprised if they fire devs instead of reassigning them.

TheXed

@cl-netbox but I imagine many of these dev's are very talented and will find jobs elsewhere...

lewis4u

i have a question about LXDM it seems to me that it is also not developed any more....it is continued with LXQt....so what if i continue to use LXDM is that bad? i mean what could happen in worst case

TheXed

or who knows, fork the project and start their own company...

Rinzwind

12:59

Forking software is so 1980s. Why not knife it and leave it be?

TheXed

@Rinzwind not sure...we have to wait and see, right?

cl-netbox

@terdon they fire devs and replace them with service and sales / marketing people :(

TheXed

@cl-netbox so it would behoove a developer to have some sales/marketing experience...

cl-netbox

@terdon Here is the article -> theregister.co.uk/2017/04/06/…

TheXed

That is if they want to keep a job after their project gets shutters....

terdon

13:03

> Unity 8 was axed after seven years' investment because it's been determined it could not make money.

And that, dear friends, is why I don't like it when private companies get behind FOSS projects :(

TheXed

@terdon because ultimately the goal is to be profitable?

They just didn't make it shitty enough so they could sell support for it...

terdon

@TheXed Yep. Which makes perfect sense for a company, it just doesn't sit well with me when it comes to FOSS.

TheXed

@terdon Sure, loosing your position you had for the last 7 years sucks...I know this from personal experience...but there are opportunities for these people...maybe things they haven't ever considered...there certainly was for me...but I had to wait and be patient...

Journeyman Geek

@terdon eh

Maybe. But imo, canonical's tendency to reinvent most wheels was more of an issue

cl-netbox

@TheXed to use windows server instead of linux (debian / redhat / ubuntu) server ... -> chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/36568684#36568684

TheXed

13:12

@cl-netbox oh sure, because when I started this job and even before, (I don't know who originally set up the network) every device was a windows machine, so between file sharing, and active directory it just made sense...

But now that we have 90% Chromebooks, we only have limited file sharing (for autocad lab) active directory for those users, and DHCP...

but it would be a lot of work and money to transition now...

terdon

@JourneymanGeek Which, again, probably came from canonical's need to have a "brand identity" or whatever vacuous marketingspeak term fits.

TheXed

But I have scaled down the amount of servers that we maintain from 6 to 2

In this building anyways...

Journeyman Geek

@terdon which worked, in a sense

cl-netbox

@TheXed Thanks for the explanation ... now I understand why the school uses windows server ... but a transition shouldn't be that expensive - you could set up CentOS server, right ?

terdon

@JourneymanGeek It did, yes.

Journeyman Geek

13:16

And a lot of stuff we take for granted came out of commercial projects.

cl-netbox

@JourneymanGeek true

@JourneymanGeek also true ... imho

terdon

@JourneymanGeek It did. But a lot of it didn't. Meh, I dunno, I was just always uncomfortable with the idea of having a for-profit organization behind my OS. Too many temptations to do things in order to make money instead of in order to make a better OS.

For some things, I want the corporation, but not for this.

Journeyman Geek

@terdon the big two linux distros have corporations behind it

terdon

One of the main reasons I don't use Ubuntu or Fedora, for example. Although I also freely admit that RedHat and Canonical do a lot of good and have some serious weight to push around.

Journeyman Geek

(heck, centos got borked into RH corporate)

On the other hand, they get a few things right. I can get a fedora or red hat box usable in a quarter day.

Can't do that with say gentoo.

terdon

13:21

@JourneymanGeek Not according to distrowatch where the top two are Mint and Debian. Ubuntu hasn't been in the top for a few years now

Journeyman Geek

@terdon I've not seen that many debian systems in a while

terdon

@JourneymanGeek They do, absolutely. Not that though. You can get Debian, Arch, Mint, and most distros except Gentoo usable in a quarter day.

Journeyman Geek

and well

There's probably no money in desktops

terdon

@JourneymanGeek Me neither, but that's what distrowatch says.

cl-netbox

@terdon I can follow your opinion, but would we be where we are without Canonical and redhat ? I guess not ... today linux systems and especially desktops are very competetive ... this was not the case before they invested and payed full time devs. :)

Journeyman Geek

13:22

@cl-netbox well....

Canonical's Debian's downstream

terdon

@cl-netbox Without Canonical, sure, why not? I was happily using a Linux desktop for years before they came along.

Journeyman Geek

(also, I wonder what about snap)

terdon

They have helped though, that's true.

Journeyman Geek

But really, what Ubuntu did is get people to try it.

terdon

Yep. It brought Linux to the mainstream and that is (mostly) a good thing.

cl-netbox

13:23

yes exactly

terdon

Although I still get annoyed at all the script kiddies who use Ubuntu as a synonym of Linux.

Journeyman Geek

@terdon its ok. They all run Kali now.

cl-netbox

agree

terdon

@JourneymanGeek Ugh.

cl-netbox

??? kali ??? I guess you mean arch ? @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

13:24

(heh, actually, I still need to do two more things with the new fedora build)

terdon

@cl-netbox No, he means Kali. That's what all the script kiddies run.

Journeyman Geek

@cl-netbox naw, arch is the people who think gentoo is too mainstream

terdon

@JourneymanGeek lol, I would say it's the other way around.

Journeyman Geek

More seriously though

Its a tool

cl-netbox

@terdon isn't kali more something like a hacker's paradise ? :D

terdon

13:25

Anyway, I'm not saying it's an objectively bad thing to have a corp behind your OS, I just don't want one behind the OS I'm using. If you don't mind, more power to you.

cl-netbox

@terdon I can understand what you mean :)

terdon

@cl-netbox Pen-tester's paradise, yes. Which is why all these clueless kids think that installing it will make them l33t.

cl-netbox

hahaha

@JourneymanGeek what are those two things ?

Journeyman Geek

@cl-netbox set up the thing I use for sending notifications from my linux box when a torrent's completed, and mount a directory on my NAS to store said "linux live cds" on

cl-netbox

aha

TheXed

13:30

@cl-netbox expensive as in the school would have to pay me to make the transition, and they hardly want to pay me as it is...

Journeyman Geek

Oh and backups

cl-netbox

Anyway @terdon I once checked kali and was not much impressed ... most of the things included there I won't ever need ... :D

terdon

@cl-netbox Of course not. It's a tool for a specific job.

cl-netbox

@TheXed okay ... then they have to live with their nice windows thingie :D

TheXed

@cl-netbox right...

@cl-netbox I am not saying I like it, I am just saying it is the way it is...

cl-netbox

13:32

@TheXed absolutely got it ... they are the bosses ... ! :D

TheXed

Anyways in this article basically Mark said we are killing research and development, and are not going to do anything new and exciting from here on out....just going to maintain what we have, trim the fat, and fatten my pocket book.

We are no longer going to be innovators in the FOSS world...

at least that is what I took from the article...

Rinzwind

He could also ditch Ubuntu totally and point us to Debian :P

cl-netbox

What I wanted to say @terdon ... when GNOME 2 was replaced by GNOME 3 I first didn't like it as well, same with Unity ... but once I got used to use it, I liked it ... it is normal that people stick to things they know (and use for a long time) ... so you should give GNOME 3 a new try ... I use it on fedora and it works nicely. :)

@Rinzwind Rinzy ! :)

Rinzwind

I hate big popups on my screen. I like my sidebar

terdon

@cl-netbox I did give it a try. I've been a user of KDE, WindowMaker, Gnome2, Cinnamon and have also tried gnome3, deepin, unity. . .

nm-applet is being a weirdo . . .

I'm connected . . . But instead it thinks my networking is disabled

Also, @JacobVlijm nicely found duplicate ! +1

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy theory of computation?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@Anwar Digital Circuits 3, need that for verilog programming

We've got traffic light control project

so need FSM for that

Anwar

@terdon's persistent cinnamon promotion caused me to install it. I'll find some cinna bug for him :D

terdon

@Anwar Have fun!

And I'm sure you'll find some.

Anwar

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy sounds interesting. FSM was fun but forgot everything I think now

@terdon 1 annoying bug was the transition between menu categories weren't smooth. I always though they should have some invisible padding to them

Same goes to Gnome3's applications menu. Can't use it

Oh? Seems fine on my machine. But I never use the menu, anyway. That's what gnome-do is for.

Does anyone think this isn't primarily opinion based?
