Q: How do I install package as a root?

Alex MaslakovI'm trying to install phusion passenger. passenger-install-nginx-module Eventually I got an error Permission problems This installer must be able to write to the following directory: /opt/nginx But it can't do that, because you're running the installer as alex. Please re-run this instal...

i need someone's judgment ;p
Can I ever install package without root?
08:24
Can you answer this? Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit system freezes http://askubuntu.com/questions/166540/ubuntu-12-04-64-bit-system-freezes?atw=1 #64bit
@jokerdino oh yes, may be he means "the root" of the tree or root of equation
should the plagiarised answer be downvoted?
izx
izx
@jokerdino It needs to be installed as a branch, or a leaf. Sorry.
@izx :D
izx
izx
Which is the plagiarized answer? "I'm wrong"?
08:26
imwrng
@TheInterrupter No, We can't answer freezed question
mrng?
izx
izx
rng?
where did he get it from?
izx
izx
I suggest DV and Eliah-style note
@izx Thanks for the mentioning of Eliah's notes
I love to read his notes
Great!!
izx
izx
Why? Do you take a swig of $DRINK whenever his name is mentioned? :P
ok this is what happened: he answered wrong twice, i found the answer on SO, commented on the question, OP said that linked answer worked on his answer, i deleted my comment and added my answer.
@izx What type of a drink?
izx
izx
OK, I voted to delete that answer since it's plagiarized and wrong -- need two 20k'ers or a mod to finish the deed
@Mitch I don't know what @Anwar prefers, hence the variable ;)
08:29
@jokerdino If the answer is correct, I don't DV.
but it's just me
@izx We don't drink in Ramadan in day
izx
izx
It's wrong...if right, just add EK-note.
@AnwarShah it is wrong too.
izx
izx
Plus he concludes with you can edit my Answer to improve the answer . Glad u got it . – imwrng
Hello all
izx
izx
ta!
08:30
hi
@jokerdino then a DV is the best solution even without an EK note
Hey @izx @Mitch @jokerdino
@AnwarShah I DV already
-2 means ?
08:32
i downvoted, added a comment, found a working solution, added the answer, properly attributed. blockquoted.
my internet connection is lagging ;p
izx
izx
haha
@AnwarShah Looks like you replaced ubuntu's notify-osd with something like xfce4-notify
@AmithKK Test
he hasn't starred any message. o.O
Yeah
hey @Mitch i know you are eager to add tag wikis to new tags. but can you please be sensible on the prospective tags?
eg, edit, untagged don't really need a tag wiki
if lots of your edits are rejected, you will be suspended from submitting edits.
izx
izx
08:54
Which reminds me @Mitch, I rejected your wiki edits yesterday and untagged the Q because there was only one...we can't have one for each game :)
to be fair, we should be just using the games tag.
This system is weird
You get the power to approve edit suggestions at 2k but you have to wait till you get to 10k to get access to the queue
@AmithKK 5k
3k+ more to go?

Will do thanks @jokerdino @izx
@AnwarShah askubuntu.com/posts/168432/revisions You are creating new tags huh?
izx
izx
This Passenger guy is beginning to annoy me: You are following a tutorial for Mac, which clearly says start nginx directly with sudo and stop with killall, and then you ask why it isn't installed as a service!? – izx
izx
izx
I have started taking the "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful" guideline for DVing questions more seriously...
09:13
i just downvote saying it is "not useful" ;p
izx
izx
NARQ this please, I wasted time looking at his log but the error he mentions is NOT in there :/

Q: HELP!! invalid arch independent ELF magic

LorenzoI don't kwnow what to do with: "invalid arch independent ELF magic" My log of boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116899/

What "wise" advice: I recommend running with two physical hard disks. One is used for the operating system, and the other is used for all your personal files. It's much easier to do things like installations, etc.
@jokerdino No, a typo
alright
and I don't like creating tags
izx
izx
@Anwar: he was probably joking :)
09:19
yes i was.
i see a bunch of new tags that i dislike much
I knew!
just killed ubuntu-12.04 tag
kill the ibm tag
izx
izx
What has Big Blue ever done to you? :/
@AnwarShah kill it before Mitch creates a tag wiki ;p
Mr Emerson Hsieh: Creates a tag and adds a tag wiki.

09:33
earned 34 reputation from suggested edits <-- kinda sad I didn't get on the suggested edit gravy train while I could :/
I have milked quite a bit :P

Q: How does the site look like to a moderator?

Amith KKThe site has special features for moderators. Can I see how the site looks like to the average moderator(tools and stuff)

lol
izx
izx
Still, you would fail in the dairy business:
*Emerson Hsieh had 219 edit suggestions approved, and 21 edit suggestions rejected.*
this is my most upvoted question on meta
@izx woah.
438+
izx
izx
09:38
I wonder if anyone has ever come close to the 1000 edit rep cap before getting enough rep to get out of the dairy business...

Q: Tag for Macbook Pros with retina displays?

Emerson HsiehWhat is the tag for Macbook Pros with retina displays? In this case, I created retina-display. Any better ideas?

@izx i might go for it in SO.
izx
izx
I wonder if I should create a 1024x768 tag. Or maybe a 3840x1200.
@AskUbuntuMeta U mad bro?
@izx i just removed the tag from one question :P
izx
izx
The appropriate tag is
09:44
good call.
i don't think we would need a retina display tag though
izx
izx
0
A: Tag for Macbook Pros with retina displays?

izxMaybe the tag is too specific, or just untimely. Perhaps we should wait for a relevant non-hypothetical question before creating the tag, e.g. what problems Ubuntu is having on someone's Macbook that are related to the retina display -- specifically, the retina part? In general, I think resoluti...

izx
izx
I think Emerson should take his RDF glasses off...:p
wait, why do we have a range of macbook tags?
macbook, macbook-air and macbook-pro
Hi again! where is @AnwarShah
09:50
@jokerdino Oh why can't we have a tag?
@AmithKK i am wondering why we have an apple tag now.
Because ubuntu can run on apple's hardware?
izx
izx
I think a is fine, since is well-used and populated
i see people tagging apple and the product as well.
izx
izx
@jokerdino: your application for the Tag Police has been accepted :p
09:52
@izx :PP
izx
izx
THere needs to be a simpler way to mass tag-edit
like the inline expansions we have in the review queue
@izx Yeah, It's called "Being a moderator and knowing how to write overly-complicated userscripts"
(Sorry if that sounded rude)
say something rude and say "sorry if that sounded rude."
izx
izx
^^^ that can be condensed into one step by simply prefacing with With all due respect, ... ;)
that would work.

you did.
superuser.com/questions/221510/… aking wrote this answer?!
i mean, copied the answer
izx
izx
It's attributed upfront, and he explains why he did the c&p in the comments...
it looks weird.
the formatting.
izx
izx
I wanted to comment that "The US Navy called and they want their tag back." but you deprived me of that small joy in life :p
@izx aww, you can have your joy back.
10:26
@Prasad hi.
@izx I have 197 suggestions, AFAIK, only 1 was rejected
Tell me anyone, how to remove these <put...your favorite slang here..> entries from here

izx

@jokerdino what to do if i want it after login?
so is it working or not?
@AnwarShah turn on desktop handling?
11:58
@jokerdino sure, of course working
@jokerdino It is turned on
@jokerdino I toggled that settings again, and now it disabled
Opened nautilus and enabled again!
What to do ?
ok. relax a bit
the specialist is thinking
i am guessing you need to add nautilus to startup apps.
what a solutino!!
then anytime i start, nautilus will open?
hold on
add something like nautilus -n
12:04
Ok. but why this tricks needed
I am trying my own solutino.. wait...

@izx nop. cause he didn't give me the bounty he promised
;P
yeah he is annoyed because I didn't give MY rep to HIM.
:P
I fixed a great problem for @Prasad , but I earned no rep
@jokerdino Then why you promised so?
well in any case, i haven't seen any solution.
12:10
I gave a solution to Prasad
But, As you didn't offer the bounty, I didn't give our preciousssss solution :P
i will happily use unity
OK, np and nm
izx

SampoThis answer focuses on exchanging HDD platters, you really should try all other methods before this, some listed here: Try to figure out what part is most probably broken, spend most of your spare time to do this.

@jokerdino bah, Marco never reads these things anyways... :)
izx
izx
@BrunoPereira Yes, these things remind me of compiling kernels way back, you go get a nice cup of coffee or even take a nap :D (note to marco: not juju specifically :p)
@BrunoPereira yeah unless we tag him in :P
