on an unrelated note, to anyone here who has had experience with making offers/buying parked domains: please let me know.
i can use help.
01:44
@KazWolfe help with...?
i mean, making offers and buying parked domains is evil.
@ThomasWard pretty much exactly this
guy has auto-renew on so expiration might never happen
@KazWolfe yeah usually i just give up and find other domains. why're you worried about a parked domain anyways?
for a client?
tell them to get a different TLD
nah, for me.
what're you after
discord.
01:55
if it loads :P

Today in "It's easy to screw up Linux"...
I mounted a named device without looking at the tab completion
and then ran chown -R jrg:jrg /mnt/new-volume
it completed
and then i couldn't sudo
because i mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/new-volume as well as to /
So, everything is my permission now! Yay!
Go ahead and laugh. It's really funny actually.

Morning! :)
Got another Ubuntu-installation question

Q: Ubuntu installation succeeded, but HDD boot option disappeared from BIOS

Ionică BizăuIt's an interesting problem I never saw before. The hard disk of this laptop has a harware problem (on a specific sector it got some problems). That's why if I let Ubuntu installation to create the partitions, using the whole space, that fails. However, if I create the partitions, without using...

Maybe you can help... I'm trying for hours
@terdon You helped me before, maybe you can again here :D
Good morning
@IonicăBizău I saw your question, I edited it after all. If I knew, I would have said.
@terdon Ok... Thanks!
08:25
@IonicăBizău hey
@RonnieDroid Hey
@RonnieDroid So, the HDD seems to be fast enough now. I can do searching in nautilus, using the live USB (accessing the mounted location) and it's quite fast.
Also, accessing the background images is fast.
I have no idea why it doesn't boot, tho...
@IonicăBizău what were the partitions you made?
100GB ext4, mount: /
2GB   swap
1GB   EFI
Left more than half unused.
(using 103GB of 500GB)
And is the BIOS not reading it at all or is it just not booting from it?
@IonicăBizău what if the bad sectors are in the beginning of your drive?
The bios does see the hard disk, but doesn't show the boot option.
I tried to add it, but it's still not working
@RonnieDroid I assume in that case, the partitions wouldn't have been created.
When using the entire space, gparted failed to create partitions
08:30
@IonicăBizău not always the case
Aha
I forced UEFI installation.
Not sure if that's related
I always got that warning and clicked the button
(and it worked)
umm, did you try installing Ubuntu in BIOS mode?
@IonicăBizău TBH, it is better if you tell the owner to get a new HDD, or better and SSD as you have already copied most of his data from this HDD, right?
umm, did you try installing Ubuntu in BIOS mode? –– how can I do that?
such hardware will give your problems no matter what
Second option would be easier, yes.
08:36
@IonicăBizău by enabling the legacy mode in the the bios settings
There's no legacy mode option
The closest I found is something *launch ... * or whatever
what laptop is it? what model?
bios launch pxe oprom
can you show me a photo of the BIOS's boot tab?
It's an ASUS X552C
08:39
@IonicăBizău i made a search on Google and it seems it does have legacy mode, it is usually in the boot tab of the bios
OK, I will send a photo
08:54
@RonnieDroid finally uploaded
09:12
@IonicăBizău I can see your hard drive in your boot menu, no problem
Try booting from your live-usb and run boot-repair and see what that will do for you
@IonicăBizău go read my answer here to learn how to use boot-repair or just search for it online :-) . askubuntu.com/a/661954/433732
That's the one I added and doesn't work.
Trying boot repair
Running the recommended commands
09:33
@IonicăBizău yes that's what you need to do
Funny how it says This may take several minutes for all operations.
@IonicăBizău well because it may take several minutes :-D
Ahhhh, it works!!!!!
Going to give you a bounty on that answer, I think the next days
For now an upvote :)
You can post an answer too
@RonnieDroid ^
@IonicăBizău oh it worked, great, happy to help :-). I will post an answer now and you can up-vote it and Mark it as correct :-)
Indeed!
It's the first time when boot repair solves my problem.
You made my day! Phew!
09:46
@IonicăBizău happy to help :-) . Boot-repair always fixes my problems related to booting :-D
@IonicăBizău askubuntu.com/a/931830/433732 I posted an answer
Thanks again!!!!
@IonicăBizău you welcome :-)

Q: Wireless networks not working on ASUS laptop

Ionică BizăuI installed Ubuntu 17.04 on an older laptop. Everything seems to be working fine, except the Wifi. The Wifi networks are not showing in the ifconfig output, nor in the UI. The owner of the laptop said Wifi used to work before, when the laptop was running Windows 10. Relevant output: $ lspci ...

@RonnieDroid If you can solve this one as well, that'd be great! :D
/cc @terdon ^ Not sure if you're good in wifi issues, but just in case

@IonicăBizău I am not sure. But I'll try my best ;-)
@IonicăBizău are you sure secure boot is off? And that wireless card is enabled from the BIOS? Also do what Polot6 asked you to do
@RonnieDroid YOu asked before about secure boot. Where is that option?
11:22
@IonicăBizău in the BIOS
@RonnieDroid I sent a photo before. I don't see the secure boot.
Do you see it?
But, this might help you (I am sure it will as it is very detailed) askubuntu.com/a/235280/433732
@IonicăBizău nope, but look around, you might see it, the manufacturer might call it another thing so read the hints on the right side for weird named options :-P
@IonicăBizău but mostly go with the answer I sent you a link to ;-)
The Wireless I/O is enabled in BIOS
@IonicăBizău good,. Then just follow this answer askubuntu.com/a/235280/433732
11:36

Hey
@RonnieDroid Hi Ron ! :)
@cl-netbox Chris, i now understand why you don't code :-D
@RonnieDroid what ? please explain ! :)
\o
I aint here
me neither
15:04
@cl-netbox why you don't learn a programing language :-D
@RonnieDroid and ? why don't I code or learn to do it ? :D
so i got the .py file from Github, for the must part i can read it, i made a GTK interface using Glaid interface designer, now i don't know how to make them work together, how to specify a function to a button and so on lol
@cl-netbox because it is a pain in the neck :-D

Q: Find and Replace Everything Before a String of Text

Eric BradshawI have a large list of IP addresses (most are IPv4, but a few are IPv6), followed by a space and then a domain name, followed by another space and the same domain name with "www." in front of it. Each instance is on it's own line. The list looks like this (but is much larger): 23.212.109.137 at....

@RonnieDroid yes ... hahaha ... more frustrating that helping users to fix installation issues ... but others love to code ... so everybody does what he can - right ? :)
@cl-netbox Last night i was thinking to myself and i had a decision, i will learn programing soooo well, and take an Phd in physics, then i will make a software that can open portals for time traveling, i will go in time and kill the one who invented the computer :-D :-D
@cl-netbox Yes sure, i love to code, i just don't know how :-P
15:11
@RonnieDroid you are sooo cute ... @ParanoidPanda will love you - I'm sure ! :D
@cl-netbox watt(this is not a typo)? hahahha
@RonnieDroid no ... no typo ! :D :D :D
@cl-netbox yum sounds much better than apt-get, yummmyyy :-P
@RonnieDroid dnf not only sounds, but works even better ! :D
@cl-netbox :-D
15:25
@RonnieDroid jokes aside ... apt is also a very reliable tool - I use it for years and it never let me down. :)
@cl-netbox it is all i have used, and i like it, i am yet to try yum, so i can't judge which one is better (for me).
@RonnieDroid yum was replaced by dnf in fedora ... yum still is the tool used in CentOS or RHEL ... :)
@cl-netbox aha

guys I worked around an Android bug!

A: openOptionsMenu() will not work in appcompat-v7 22.1.0 or newer

TheWandererI think I may have actually found a workaround for this. It involves overriding the openOptionsMenu() method: @Override public void openOptionsMenu() { android.support.v7.widget.ActionMenuView actionMenuView = (android.support.v7.widget.ActionMenuView) mActionBar.getChildAt(2); actionMen...

20:44
ah.... crap.
system just died with an I/O error...
Does anyone have experience with video capture cards that support HDMI input at 1080p?
works fine after a reboot... so, panic mode initiated.
???
Why panic if it works?
because I/O error is usually very bad.
and it was bad enough for my system to drop into read-only mode.
Maybe try memtest?
Could be a bad memory chip.
21:16
@KazWolfe you might find this interesting then: youtube.com/watch?v=1MnZM8Pkvmw
the hell is that key
Did you watch the video?
It's actually pretty clever.
i did.
You don't like it? :P
i want one ten.
21:22
I'm adding a couple random questions to your proposal that I thought of.
Forgive me if they are stupid questions.
looks like quite a fun challenge.
i was thinking of expanding it to physical security (to counter infosec), but we'll see.
then we can include alarm systems/mantraps/etc..
Hmm, yeah, that would be cool.
Dogecoin is in the commitment phase, lol.
physical sec actually could have a healthy amount of scope bleed with infosec and diy, i think.
this has site potential.
i'll give it a bit (like 5 days) and see how the proposal goes though. if it goes well, i won't change scope. if it doesn't, i'll post a meta thingy
21:30
Good idea.
21:42
macOS is the new Internet Explorer. My cross-platform app works great everywhere but macOS where things fall apart all over the place.
you just need to buy a better developer license.
DPI scaling? Tray icon behavior? Widget sizing? TLS? Nope.
those all come in Apple Developer Pro.
Except DPI scaling. You need Apple Developer Premium for that.
Hello guys
I'll be off for a week, don't miss me :-P
21:49
Hey @NathanOsman :-)
I didn't renew my developer license yet this year.
I'm waiting until the next release.
I mean... it is over $100.
you got time today?

Q: Why does my wifi randomly disconnect, and I have to restart to get it back?

K Split XI have a HP EliteBook 8440p. I dualbooted Ubuntu with pre-installed Windows 7. On windows 7, I never had any problems with wifi, but ever since I switched to linux, my wifi would go on and off. Suppose by wifi name is BOB. When I start the computer in ubuntu mode, BOB is on. My wifi signal is ...

@TheWanderer I'll definitely have time with my phone, so I can read over the code.
21:55
Hopefully I can spot what's up with Mr. Cookie.
use jython! \o/
Java barely works for Android programming.
We don't need something even more sketchy.
JYTHON!
21:59
Java Go
@TheWanderer taw
@TheWanderer You fool! You foolish fool! Now they won't fix it because it'll break an app!
22:03
lel
it's been broken since Android 5.1; they ain't fixing it
