TheWanderer

Thomas Ward

Tribble

Tribbles are a fictional alien species in the Star Trek universe. They were conceived by screenwriter David Gerrold, and first appeared in a 1967 episode titled "The Trouble with Tribbles". They are depicted as small, furry, gentle, attractive, and slow-moving; often purring when when stroked. Though appearing infrequently on-screen, they have become a popular feature of the Star Trek universe, featuring in their own eponymous official card game, and even lending their name to a family of proteins which are associated with the biology of the fruit fly. == Representation == Tribbles were first shown...

TheWanderer

oh ok

Thomas Ward

17:11

fuzzball that eats everything

and reproduces insanely quickly

TheWanderer

my cat's name is fuzzball

although it's the other cat that eats everything

Thomas Ward

your cat doesn't spawn four of itself whenever it eats a tiny crumb of food

tribbles do.

TheWanderer

you don't know what my cat does

Thomas Ward

looks through the gateway Yes I do.

closes the gateway before you see it

Byte Commander

What about a box of Adiposes instead?

TheWanderer

17:22

Byte Commander

Not exactly. I thought of these...

TheWanderer

@ByteCommander think about what they are though

Byte Commander

Just that they eat you and not you them.

Kaz Wolfe

Q: How Do I Revert Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Its Original State? Is a Clean Install Necessary?

I just installed Ubuntu Linux (16.04 LTS) for the first time last night, and I already seemed to have messed up the OS. For all purposes, this is the first time I've used Linux. Basically, I followed some Linux blogger's instructions on how to remove guest account access, which turned out to be b...

@KazWolfe you won't want to wait too long before updating your Area51 proposal since they delete ones that fail to meet a specific threshold after a few days.

@NathanOsman i'm thinking of opening a different proposal for that, actually.

locks as a topic can survive just fine.

terdon

22:00

@KazWolfe Is it worth the hassle? Why not just go for NTFS and be sure it's portable? Is the gain of exFAT worth it?

Or maybe exfat is as portable. Don't know.

Kaz Wolfe

@terdon exfat is supposed to be as portable.

ntfs is a great partition type, shame it's so broken and made for windows.

TheWanderer

that's racist

terdon

@KazWolfe OK.

userDepth

22:29

hey, anyone with experience using chroot?

Kaz Wolfe

some, why?

userDepth

I'm following a guide to install Ubuntu on a F2FS partition and it requires the use of chroot

the system used a separate /boot partition and from chroot Grub is updated in the last step

I'm thinking I should mount the /boot partition inside chroot in order to make update-grub write the changes there

but the guide is unclear there

Ced

How am I supposed to install this ? forum.unity3d.com/threads/…

the link to the installer is this beta.unity3d.com/download/427038f4b57e/public_download.html

userDepth

Did you see the DEB package link?

Ced

I downloaded the .deb file and right clicked and open with software install

Then clicked install but nothing happens

Is this what Im supposed to do ?

userDepth

22:39

DPKG says : dpkg-deb: error: 'unity-editor-5.1.0f3+2015082501_amd64.deb' is not a debian format archive

We should report this to the release publisher

oh ! I'm sorry I didn't finished downloading the DEB files

let's wait it to finish

Ced

yeah it's quite heavy

And my connection is not at it's best with that server

Just use the command line.

Kaz Wolfe

oh, thanks a lot unity

userDepth

22:43

Yes, that's what I want to do : sudo dpkg -i unity-editor-5.1.0f3+2015082501_amd64.deb

@terdon I tried but had the error: Errors were encountered while processing:

I've been for quite long is my computer and night is coming soon

Ced

You are experienced with unity 3d ?

userDepth

I'll check that out ;)

Kaz Wolfe

hey @terdon why does unity de suck so much with detecting external drives?

userDepth

No I haven't used Unity 3D

terdon

@KazWolfe I have no idea why unity sucks so much./

Oh, you meant with something specific?

Same answer.

Sorry, not a fan of unity.

Kaz Wolfe

22:49

tldr it's not detecting my external drive as an external drive

and i have no idea how to fix that.

terdon

Although, to be fair, I don't really see how it could be blamed on the DE.

userDepth

I have dependency problems for Unity 3D @ 16.04

terdon

This sort of thing is done via FUSE and gvfs.

I have an answer somewhere about this. Hang on.

Ced

So it's their .deb package that is faulty ?

terdon

Mine is accepted but I think some of the others are better if I remember correctly.

@Ced No, it sounds like you need other things that aren't included. This sort of thing is better asked on the main site. Post a question, show the exact error you get and a link to the deb file.

Ced

22:51

allright

Kaz Wolfe

hm... this is probably worth a question.

Ced

23:05

@userDepth when you have downloaded the file to make the installation work I did this:

sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg -i filename.deb

userDepth

I installed all dependencies also

I'm waiting for it to finish loading

It says "Connecting"

@Ced When I try to login it says that the service is not working

Ced

@userDepth it's working for me, I had to create an account though

userDepth

Did you have to ditch your account?

Ced

23:16

It's the first time I'm using unity 3D, I had no prior account

but I doubt you'd have to ditch yours

Since the registration is done on a website, it doesn't matter it should work for you as well

mmm ok

Well it says to try again later
