I have Ubuntu 16.04 using UEFI and Unity. My problem is that I can't stop the screen from seemingly suspend. It happens every time I close the lid or lock the screen, in which case it takes about 10s to dim out, and when I open the lid or press a key, if I have locked the screen without closing t...

Hi all!

@Fabby Do you mean the Brandenburg Gate? I never heard it called "arch" [sic!] or "arc" in English.

@Takkat: Occasionally.

Manuel Rodriguez

@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L Welcome to the help desk, at first I create ticket for you ... Oh no it was a joke ;-) I've read your message carefully and as far as i understand you are trying to use Artificial Intelligence to turning off the secure boot on your friends notebook, is that correct?

terdon

@ManuelRodriguez The UbuntuQuestionsonU&L user is just a bot that reposts questions tagged with ubuntu on Unix & Linux in this chat room. It won't reply to you :)

@terdon That is nice to know. Thank you terdon. I hope you're a real human ... isn't it?

terdon

@ManuelRodriguez beeep

Sorry :) Yes, everyone else here (at the moment) is a real human.

Well, either real or a very good imitation. I have my doubts about @Rinzwind.

Manuel Rodriguez

@terdon My original intention was to figure out the problem with the Ubuntu 18.08 LTS install problem on the friend's notebook. But anyway. There is test available to determine if somebody is real or a bot, called Turing test ...

@DavidFoerster Hey David ! :) Alles paletti ... und bei Dir ?

David Foerster

@cl-netbox Great! I met an awesome woman at that wedding. :>

cl-netbox

@DavidFoerster Hope you enjoyed the vacation ! :)

@DavidFoerster Is she your woman now ? :D :D :D

David Foerster

Well… it looks like that will be the case soon.^^

cl-netbox

@DavidFoerster Cool ! :) Congratulations in advance ! :)

David Foerster

Oh, you meant "woman" as in wife, didn't you? In that case, no. Neither of us intends to marry atm.

Manuel Rodriguez

@DavidFoerster Hi David, we don't know each other but a warm welcome to my (sic;) chat. According to your profile, you're a poweruser with many useful postings in the past.

David Foerster

@ManuelRodriguez Thanks for the welcome. It looks like people think that, yes.

You're no member of AU at all (yet) though. :-P

cl-netbox

@Rinzwind Well, you will only need to wait another maximum 25 days ... :D :D :D

David Foerster

Still, welcome to the AU chat!

Manuel Rodriguez

@DavidFoerster That is true and I have no excuse. And I must admit, that I didn't have Ubuntu installed right now. But in the past I liked the Operating system and the community behind it very much.

cl-netbox

15:02

A warm welcome from me too @ManuelRodriguez ! :)

David Foerster

@ManuelRodriguez I agree. That's one reason why I chose it when made the switch to Linux.

Rinzwind

I changed to Ubuntu cuz Windows ME sucked :=)

Manuel Rodriguez

@DavidFoerster Probably you're referencing to the community. I'm a fan of the Debconf and Ubucon meeting videos which are available on the web and are showing a very private insight into Open Source development.

Rinzwind

and Ubuntu was the 1st to have a good working installation :D In Suse 4.6 I had to pick every package including libraries manually. That so did not work for me :X

cl-netbox

@DavidFoerster No, I meant "girl friend" - that's what I understood in first place ... in Dortmund (Ruhrgebiet) people always say "Frau" rather than "Freundin" ... :)

Rinzy ! :) Good afternoon @Rinzwind ! :)

boxy \o

Sorry had to reset my locale back to english :=)

You can blame @terdon for that

Manuel Rodriguez

@Rinzwind Because you mentioned “boxy”, which was a female internet troll in the 2000s. I'm asking me how would a robot troll look like. That is not a human but a machine who is trolling the internet. It could be a combination of a chatbot who is posting “I'm not a robot” and a Shannon machine who is switching themself off ... But by the way, this is a bit of a digression,

Rinzwind

@ManuelRodriguez cl-netbox is boxy :=) If you want you can be added too :=) How does Many sound?

Manuel Rodriguez

@Rinzwind Oh yes, please add me. I've no idea about what you're talking but I would like to be part of a list of famous Artificial Intelligence researchers and Ubuntu fanboys.

cl-netbox

@Rinzwind What about "Roddy" @ManuelRodriguez ? :D :D :D

@ManuelRodriguez you sure that we all are "ubuntu fanboys" ? :D :D :D

Hi @Seth ! :) Nice to see you ! :) Everything okay (as good as possible) ?

David Foerster

15:31

@Rinzwind I simply went from Win 98 to Win 2k. :-D

Manuel Rodriguez

@cl-netbox Let me explain it from the other point of view. In the Ubuntu operating system the gforth Forth interpreter is preinstalled, right? And if you're starting Forth and enter a short program which utilize the stack, you are able to run Forth under Linux, right? And Forth is the most piece of software ever invented. Now the conclusion is, that we are all Ubuntu fanboys, because all in the chat like Forth. It is so easy ...

David Foerster

@ManuelRodriguez That "troll" was named boxxy (with double x).

cl-netbox

@DavidFoerster exactly ... and I am the boxy with triple XXX where @Rinzwind wiped the two XX's out ... hahaha :D :D :D

David Foerster

I'm off to play some Half-Life to get my dopamine level back to something more workable. :-D

@dessert It wasn't my fault to miss the word "sophisticated" which is equal to advanced and elegant, but the keyboard driver of my operating system has deleted the adjective by himself. It was some kind of virus which has attacked the USB cable during the last Javascript live session.

@ManuelRodriguez I like it better this way, an adjective only kills the suspence.

The Ubuntu bot has posted a new issue from the Unix&Linux forum with the title “Ubuntu not replying to ARP requests”:
There is a client which has on their stackoverflow profile page the slogan that “he is batman” and he is playing around with the ARP protocol. The client with the big questionmark on his forehead is using a combination between Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 and has absolutely no idea which hardware was built into his computer. Any advice for further investigation?
