I have a weird problem here. I migrated my GF's drive from HDD to SSD. I had to shrink windows partition and move partitions around to fit 750GB HDD to 512GB SSD. I think I did everything fine. Windows and Ubuntu both boot to the login screens. Only Ubuntu doesn't let her log in (both with screen...

Please help me , How can I decode this code 7f45 4c46 0201 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0200 3e00 0100 0000 700b 4000 0000 0000 4000 0000 0000 0000 0033 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 4000 3800 0900 4000 1c00 1b00 0600 0000 0500 0000 4000 0000 0000 0000 4000 4000 0000 0000 4000 4000 0000 0000 f801 0000 ...

command-line bash dmidecode

^- What can be done with this?

@dessert Ah! I was going to post something about that as well! VTC "cannot be reproduced"

you'll not be the only one

1:29 PM

@Fabby sounds reasonable

2:06 PM

@dessert oh fun

@dessert To [my comment](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1040856/i-need-help-how-to-decode-this-file#comment1695337_1040858) on that "decode" question you wrote _"I think that’s fine, questions are not only for OP after all."_
I don't get that. I read the OP's comment as "can you upload the result to dropbox?" or "can I upload a file to dropbox and you decode it for me?". Both are not appropriate, I'd say.

Huh? Where's my formatting gone?

2:21 PM

@PerlDuck doesn’t work with (askubuntu.com…), needs to be (https://askubuntu.com…) I suppose

@PerlDuck I misunderstood your comment, simply :)

PerlDuck

@dessert Ah, ok. I hoped so. Or maybe I misunderstood the OP's question in the preceeding comment. It's not easy to decipher after all.

I think I'll just remove my comment. It's not worth it.

Uhmmmm .... LOL?

Have been running Ubuntu Mate 17.10 and just upgraded to 18.04 LTS. But after upgrading my monitor settings are all wrong and can't set the proper resolution. How can I resolve this?

@ByteCommander Great! That took them a while! I'll have a look later when I have some free time! :D

So apparently there's a Museum Of Failure and they're exhibiting Windows 8...

8:09 PM

I mean...

it's probably worse than the fall of BlackBerry

or HTC's stagnation

What the hell happened to AU meta?

@Fabby why what should be up with it?

@Videonauth That's how it looks to me now.

weird that looks like mobile view

lemme try again.

8:20 PM

this is how it looks to me

@Fabby you must have clicked the "Mobile" link in the footer somehow

scroll down and use "full site"

@TheWanderer thanks.

@Fabby while you’re on it, check this out: meta.askubuntu.com/q/17948/507051 ;P

@dessert You have my upvote already.

that's probably why I clicked "mobile"

:D your fault ;-) @dessert

yay, my fault! :>

:D

@fabby askubuntu.com/questions/1040489/…

you might wanna bookmark those :)

Fabby is a noob

shoo @TheWanderer

:)

no u

start that GoFundMe boi

if you won't, I'm going to start it for you

well, feel free

@Videonauth I was just reading them4

8:30 PM

last one on the main site ist the best one

the TL;DR is very good kali questions might get migrated, but they have to be really good and in depth researched beforehand

what do you use your phone for? @Videonauth

@TheWanderer oh i wrote in length about that in discord :) being reachable on my landline, being rechable on mobile line, 2FA, and occasionally wathing youtubes in bed :D

would you be willing to send me a photo of yourself for the page?

Sebastian Stark

@dessert did you actually dare to run the decode file? (I stopped when I saw it had an ELF header)

@TheWanderer check your inbox

8:42 PM

thx

@SebastianStark no chance

Gmail hates you @Videonauth

always marks your stuff as spam lol

yeah i know

@Videonauth do it in front of a computer or something, with a thumbs up

why?

i have nothing to take a photo with right now o_o

8:44 PM

alright no photo then :p

i sent you link to a photo

that one looks a little weird

oh ok, its how i look

maybe im just a weirdo :D

well yes

but it's also the angle :p

8:46 PM

@TheWanderer Vorlon true form

kevin !!!!!!

I just watched depictable me 1

@TheWanderer ok let me have a look through my actual pictures i have on my machine

this used to be my avatar

@Fabby can you do that with thumbs up?

@Fabby that’s a weird angel

@dessert even weirder angle CC@TheWanderer

nice, how did you get that one Fabby? :D

and good evening!

8:50 PM

@ByteCommander look at lower left corner

is it entirely drawn, or photoshopped?

ah, I see

Heh, remember your "Diving License" typo I spotted? :D

@ByteCommander :D :D :D

8:54 PM

Isnt Ubuntu one dead already since a longer time?

--> askubuntu.com/q/1040982

@TheWanderer Do you know about the screens?

the screens?

user1502040

Does anyone know how to get the tilde character on the UK Dvorak layout? It's shown as a second alternate key, but I've tried all the obvious combinations (ctrl, alt, shift, etc.) to no avail.

@ByteCommander What was that software we installed so we could talk OOB right before my previous machine died?

@Videonauth no, Ubuntu One is still used for signing up with Canonical

8:56 PM

@user1502040 Ubuntu version?

@ByteCommander ah ok

I just recently used it to activate and play around with kernel hot-patching on one of my machines

user1502040

@Fabby 18.04

I think Launchpad uses it as login too

Sebastian Stark

I use it to login to askubuntu

8:57 PM

@ByteCommander errr yes it does kinda, you're right

@user1502040 I'm still on 16.04. Have you ever used that before?

@Fabby OOB?

@ByteCommander Out of Band.

means?

Partly to go with the herd, partly to be more towards the cutting edge, I'd prefer Ubuntu 18.04 over Bodhi Linux. Bodhi boots reasonably quickly, logs in well, etc -- everything it's intended for. Clearly, out of the box Ubuntu bogs down this old MacBook. Having installed Ubuntu, can I perhaps...

ubuntu system-installation kernel-modules macintosh bodhi

Oh, there used to be Skype (shudders), then later Tox (which somehow died too) and the last attempt was Discord.

@ByteCommander well discord seems to do pretty well

tox i still have installed but yes it is really more or the less dead

skype i use regularly too

@ByteCommander Discord! that was it!

lemme install.

I still have both installed, but didn't open either more than once a year, I think

@ByteCommander Skype is still on my phone.

9:02 PM

@Fabby it works well just in browser too

no need to install

going to try that first then

@ByteCommander I installed just because one reason, the website tab in firefox takes around 300 MB memory and the discord ap is happy with about 80 MB

Dunno bout that

but ok i use it daily and frequently

I just like to keep everything in my browser if possible, and just have few applications open

although in browser sometimes server reordering and voice don't work
