Ask Ubuntu General Room

guys, I've seem this answer and liked the idea of adding an nautilus action without installing another program, but I cant find any .local/share/file-manager folder

did they take it away on some nautilus update?

@dessert yeah, I think I'll have to wait and see :p

would be really happy if I could collaborate with that project though

Rinzwind

6:48 PM

@IanC hmmm I would assume I had to create it if it was missing

and also see the comments on the answer: should work with gnome 3+

IanC

I'll try to create the file and see if it works

Videonauth

Thats the spirit!!!!

IanC

didn't work :/

will research further later

.local/share/nautilus/scripts would be just fine, if it showed the scripts when I clicked on the folder too instead of directly on a file

well deserved @oli :=)

I shall join you in 25k :D

terdon

@Oli Whohooo! Well done!

Oh hey, who's your ISP @Oli? I'm moving to London next month and trying to choose. I'd go for aa.net.uk (they have their own IRC channel! Aaaaa!) but they have a monthly cap and ain't cheap, so I'm looking at Zen. Do you have an opinion on them?

TheWanderer

@Oli you need 4 downvotes

Rinzwind

@terdon I was the one giving him his last 4 upvotes >;-D

TheWanderer

Serial voting!

SHOGGGGGGG

No, Gatwick.

wat

Paris Orly Airport (French: Aéroport de Paris-Orly) (IATA: ORY, ICAO: LFPO) is an international airport located partially in Orly and partially in Villeneuve-le-Roi, 7 NM (13 km; 8.1 mi) south of Paris, France. It serves as a secondary hub for domestic and overseas territories flights of Air France and as the homebase for Transavia France. Flights operate to destinations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, North America and Southeast Asia. Prior to the construction of Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly was the main airport of Paris. Even with the shift of most international traffic...

TheWanderer

oh

terdon

Sorry, I can't help it. My mind works this way.

TheWanderer

7:37 PM

lol

terdon

Well, "works".

TheWanderer

OK Fabby

Oli

@terdon Urm, find out who operates LLU at your soon-to-be local exchange. And see if you can get cable. There is value from the smaller ISPs but you really pay for it. The big ones are good enough™ unless you need static IPs or... well... need anything more than your grandma would.

Rinzwind

@terdon I call that "malfunctions like that"

terdon

@Oli I need stability and tech support people who know more than I do.

@Rinzwind :P

@terdon And the moon on a stick? You're asking a lot.

Q: Remove everything except apt and network manager

So I want to be a little over the edge here and remove everything from my Ubuntu based distribution while only keeping apt, network manager(if possible, to support download stuff later) and the linux kernel and start off from there. I know that downloading a network image and installing it fresh...

terdon

@Oli Well, Zen and AA seem to both offer good tech support. Actual humans. In the same country.

Oli

Zen probably are a good bet —no direct experience, just seen happy people— but I've really no idea what sort of speeds they'd be able to deliver without unbundled access.

Videonauth

@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L Oh my ....

Rinzwind

7:40 PM

@terdon I can do tech support! :=)

terdon

@Rinzwind Heh true. But you don't have access to the equipment.

Oli

Doesn't he?

TheWanderer

@terdon oh he'll get access, alright

Videonauth

uh whats apt purge ... do?

TheWanderer

he'll get access

terdon

7:41 PM

@Oli Fair enough. I'm not all that bothered about speed to be honest. I just want to be able to stream the odd netflix and download every now and then. My main thing is stability since I'll be working at home, connecting to work over ssh.

Rinzwind

@terdon oh? >:)

terdon

hehe

TheWanderer

@Videonauth I think they just meant use apt purge and replace ... with whatever

terdon

Ah crap,. have to run.

TheWanderer

@terdon cause @Rinzwind is coming?

Videonauth

7:41 PM

@TheWanderer ah ok well it actually would fit all three letered application names

Rinzwind

Ill be in London too x-mas weekend

TheWanderer

lol

that would remove apt

Videonauth

if apt cant parse it as normal text it reverts to regex

Oli

@terdon BT still operate all the hardware at street level and there's no guarantee they won't spill their coffee all over the street-level circuit (happened to us about a decade ago).

TheWanderer

When internet friends meet IRL, does that count as a crossover episode?

@Oli How

how do you spill coffee on an exchange circuit

just

Rinzwind

7:43 PM

@TheWanderer friends? you all are merely my rep counters

TheWanderer

o

Oli

Virgin (cable) own the lot but they're are notoriously bad at fixing things quickly.

Videonauth

@Rinzwind you mean you are my rep buffer ;) ?

Rinzwind

:D

@Oli virgin needs a girlfriend :=D

TheWanderer

jesus rinz

Rinzwind

7:46 PM

@TheWanderer hey just matching @terdon brain wave level >:-D

TheWanderer

no you're lower

Videonauth

@TheWanderer LOL. To proove my above statement type `apt policy ...``(yes with three dots as elipsis)

@terdon that comment i mentioned earlier is dangerous, if the OP runs this as command he is super hosed :P

he could have wrote apt purge * as well would not make much of a difference

@terdon the result of `sudo apt purge ...``^^

TheWanderer

3GB lol

Videonauth

yep the complete system in fact, just hosed my one VM (luckily i have a snapshot of it)

PS Isn't that Romanesco stuff a kind of cauliflower rather than broccoli? I peeped into here yesterday to be pedantic about that after spying on the transcript, but everyone was talking about a certain troll and I didn't want to cause further upset with random (or maybe I mean fractal?) cruciferous veg comments

Videonauth

Romanesco broccoli

Romanesco broccoli, also known as Roman cauliflower, Broccolo Romanesco, Romanesque cauliflower or simply Romanesco is an edible flower bud of the species Brassica oleracea. First documented in Italy, it is chartreuse in color. Romanesco has a striking appearance because its form is a natural approximation of a fractal. When compared to a traditional cauliflower, its texture as a vegetable is far more crunchy, and its flavor is not as assertive, being delicate and nutty. The Romanesco has been grown in Italy since the 16th century. == Description == Romanesco superficially resembles a cauliflower...

yep it is a cauliflower

Zanna

so it's both?

or I'm just wrong?

Videonauth

the higher classification is: wild cabbage

all i can tell is that it is very tasty :)

Zanna

8:49 PM

agreed, that stuff is fantastic

dessert

@Zanna you too wear the candlestick! =)

Videonauth

Fabby :)

Fabby

You talking about veggies with Zanna?

You have hidden depths, my friend...

dessert

@Zanna today I learned “all to [adjective]” from you :>

Videonauth

:) not many people know me thorough i guess :)

Seth

8:58 PM

anyone know what the default mint terminal is?

Videonauth

dunno, it smells minty :P

Zanna

er doesn't it depend on the DE?

JohnP

Pi package is out for delivery.

@Seth York.

Zanna

@dessert it looks more impressive on your dessert though

Seth

@JohnP huh, never heard of that emulator.

@Zanna probably. I'm sure Mint MATE uses mate-terminal.

Zanna

9:02 PM

@dessert thinks I might have made a typo...

@Seth haha yeah... My dad installed Mint KDE for me, and it used Konsole... so what's the default terminal emulator in Cinnamon?

dessert

> It's all to easy to break your system with chown and chmod.

Zanna

@dessert that should be too!

let me fix it...

thanks for catching that

dessert

@Zanna Aw damn, I actually was quite impressed there… But still it sounds exactly like the German equivalent “allzu”. :)

Zanna

sorry for the bad grammar and disappointment

JohnP

@seth ^^^

Mint, ok, so it was a stretch.

Videonauth

9:06 PM

@JohnP woot? debian? :P

Seth

@Zanna ahh, yeah. I guess I mean cinnamon then.

@JohnP ohhhhh... haha

wheee. I posted an answer for the first time in a while.

Zanna

I'll boot up my Dad's Mint Cinnamon system and have a look

@dessert For what?

@Seth yay

It feels so good :D

9:07 PM

^_^

JohnP

@Seth Have an upvote. That way I get a hat. :)

dessert

@Fabby he hit 200k rep recently

Seth

@JohnP lol

Fabby

Wow! Does he get another t-Shirt then?

@Videonauth another star!

Videonauth

i have known you would agree with that

Zanna

9:10 PM

There is a bug and sudo apt autoremove probably will remove your current and running kernel. — Bruno Karklis 1 hour ago

JohnP

Although I think there is a rep threshold to get the candles hat.

Is Raspbian ÔT? askubuntu.com/questions/987854/…

Zanna

@Seth It's GNOME terminal apparently

@dessert it's off-topic

Videonauth

@dessert its øff tøpic duh

JohnP

@Videonauth Migrate to unix/linux? @Seth

dessert

9:13 PM

thanks, I get confused with the whole pi stuff…

Seth

@Zanna Okay thanks.

Videonauth

@dessert well pi not actualy means not ubuntu, be carefull there are ubuntu images too for the PI but the username is then not pi afaik

Seth

done

raspbian is debian.

Zanna

whoosh

@Seth :)

bedtime here

JohnP

ok, I can now leave work and go start playing with my new pi that should arrive about 10 mins before I do.

Fabby

9:17 PM

Good night!

Videonauth

sleep well

dessert

I'm installing xenial server edition and just received a message that translates to:

> it seems like this installation of Debian is the only one on this computer

uh-oh

Videonauth

wrong iso man, wrong iso :P

dessert

not a chance

Videonauth

did you just download that iso?

dessert

9:29 PM

@Videonauth yes, from releases.ubuntu.com/16.04, this one: releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04.3-server-i386.iso

Videonauth

now i have to check that lol

Videonauth

9:40 PM

weird i dont see that message

TheWanderer

"but there's at least a teraflop of data to go through"

uhhh

dessert

@Videonauth You did select German, did you? ;P

Videonauth

@dessert uhm i never select german as language on OS installs

but well german keyboard layout and timezone

dessert

@Videonauth then you never get to see the interesting things :D

TheWanderer

Ubuntu may not be able to sleep on my laptop, but I LOVE having all the panels

dessert

9:46 PM

@Videonauth I wrote “a message that translates to” above – sorry for the confusion.

Videonauth

ah ok lol

well maybe an oversight in the translation

@Zanna well i can soon tell you if 17.10 is affected by that :)

Nope not affected on 17.10

IanC

10:01 PM

cool, I got nautilus-actions working, was reluctant to install it but sounds like a good addon to have

I'm starting to loose faith my Pull Request will be merged :/

apparently there's another one there, since Dec 4, 2015..

either the author didn't like the request, or he isn't really checking on this project lately

dessert

Am I understanding this right: If I want to run a java program on my headless server and want to use X11 Forwarding to have its GUI on a remote machine I still need to install openjdk-8-jre on the server, not openjdk-8-jre-headless?

Videonauth

@IanC i tend to think of the latter to be honest, i not wanna know how many dead projects linger on github

IanC

I hope he sees the notification and get curious to see what is there, it's a small change so it wouldn't cost much for him to check it

and it was my chance to collaborate with a medium sized project :/

Videonauth

and if not well you still have your fork of the changed code you can use and even distribute

IanC

well, later I'll go back to working on the website I'm using that component on
