@StephenMyall what skips?
@msPeachy when a LPQ you have already taken action on re appears (I just skip) what else can be done
@StephenMyall can you hit the close queue? We're down to like 50 something on those
and it only takes like 10 minutes to max your votes on that one
@Mitch Please don't do double-tap tag-wiki edits. If you edit in one line, then edit in a paragraph...it's just confusing. The longer descriptions with sources are almost always very nice.
I sent a mail to a bunch of 3k+ users to hit the queue hard and we went from like 400 to 50 in 3 days
2
@JorgeCastro you need3k for that do you not, its disabled to me
15:04
ah bummer, 400 short
@JorgeCastro Yep, i ve been spend too much time on rep-free activities :-) Will get there soon
it's ok, all the real glory is in maintenance. :)
@JorgeCastro and the odd badge Got a weird one today "Necromancer" never heard the term before
How to configure NTP time synchronization on a server? http://askubuntu.com/q/178968?atw=1 #server
that's a good one
15:09
@izx Sorry . I tend to treat people like computers T_T specially when talking to them through one.
@msPeachy good to hear that the gpg errors are gone. that 404 means there is no package for quantal.
you can either disable the ppa or edit it to use precise package
@jokerdino where have you been???
@msPeachy sorry. network timed out + supper + talk about the exothermic hell.
lol, jk. Yes, fossfreedom helped me out.
ah, good then. sorry I couldn't say brb. The network timed out for quite some time.
15:13
@StephenMyall You got a couple of upvotes and an edit from me on one of your questions. feel free to take some of the content from the links and add to the question. i'm confident it would net you some more points...
@jokerdino it's okay really, no apologies needed

A: How can I configure the guest user to only be able to run Firefox?

Stephen MyallI'm not sure how possible your request is given the guest session is recreated every time as a "default new user" I also don’t know a method of turning this behaviour off (hopefully someone else will come along and answer that piece) A plausible workaround though, is to remove the Guest account...

@msPeachy ok then.
gosh just reached my vote limit with that ^^, will continue the review tom
good night ma'am.
15:17
I ain't leaving yet
lol
oh oops
Hi all :)
@jokerdino @msPeachy @aking1012 hey :D
15:18
@jokerdino will hit the First and Late Answers queue for the year! I love flagging...lol
@RolandTaylor hey hey
@msPeachy holy
What are your review stats atm?
@RolandTaylor o/
@jokerdino I've reviewed 4274, why?
@msPeachy That beats mine by a thousand. :/
15:20
More than a thousand actually.
how did she...
Last time I checked, Roland didn't cross the first thousand :P
@jokerdino lol, really? I tend to focus on the answers and do flagging, just too bad some comments and not really answer answers flags are sometimes rejected, but that's okay really.
@RobinJ maybe you should pop in to chat so there isn't a discussion on keeping the site clean in comments...

Q: About the Comment system in New Review BETA feature

tijybbaReview system looks good in controlling spam and low quality contents . I am aware it is still in BETA. While reviewing i came across an answer whose author had less Reps to comment originally , hence seems to have posted it as answer . Thus reviewing enables me to post comment below it as , ...

15:22
@msPeachy That's okay really. Just a drop in the ocean.
Am I right/justified in thinking maybe this should be solved then merged or duped? or I'm out of line:

Q: Slow for no apparent reason

RobinJUbuntu is becoming slow for no apparent reason. I'd like some help with analysing and fixing this issue. Usually when a system slows down, that's because the software is using too much system resources, but my CPU and RAM usage usually doesn't even reach 40%. Still, the system starts slowing dow...

@jokerdino yeah I get how the system works
@aking1012 more ram, buggy drivers, no space, etc
i dont know if it is duped but i dont think it is a great question
yeah. i was more thinking, regardless of cause - get as many possible solutions on the "it's slow" question as possible
15:26
@aking1012 oh, canonical question in the making?
already made i think:
109
Q: How can I improve overall system performance?

Decio LiraWhat are your tips for improving overall system performance on ubuntu? Inspired by this question I realized that some default settings may be rather conservative on Ubuntu and that it's possible to tweak it with little or no risk if you wish to make it faster. This is not meant to be application...

9 hours ago, by izx
@msPeachy/Roland appearance/disappearance seem to be in sync...hmmm :P
@izx you jelly?
@aking1012 shrug. don't know :/
@RolandTaylor LOL
@msPeachy ;)
15:29
@jokerdino it has something like 25k views and it's already CW so it's an awesome candidate
@aking1012 well, i don't have any close votes for the day :/
@RolandTaylor well I didn't actually disappeared when he said that, I was busy editing and then your messenger came around saying you couldn't come back into the chat.
@jokerdino np. i was hoping to get the idea across in a comment or two, but it seems i can't communicate "single destination point" adequately or "dupe/close" seems derogatory for some reason
Hi all,

I am not sure how to review the answer here http://askubuntu.com/questions/113488/touchpad-on-gateway-lt2802u-netbook-doesnt-work, it was posted by Trusted user , looks good but suspect it as comment .
@msPeachy oh lol
I had said I would brb, but then my family went in, so in order not to disturb them I went in too :P
15:33
@aking1012 he probably wants a solution that works for him and not a generic answer I think.
@tijybba It looks like a not so bad answer.
@jokerdino i understand, that's why my ideal solution would be answer then merge
@tijybba its ok - but the Q should be eventually closed as too localised since the OP has long gone.
@jokerdino how do I check my review stats?
@tijybba i'ld leave it. personally i would have put it as a comment, but being a response to a 1-rep...it could get an upvote and pseudo-close if there is no accept
@aking1012 That would work fine actually.
15:34
@RolandTaylor Oh I see, well anyway, he was just kidding.
ty
Oh that statistic isn't accurate for my all time stats lol
It's funny how stats can give such a skewed picture :D
It only represents the review queue stats IIRC.
And only the old one.
@jokerdino that's my stat
@msPeachy Haha it shows your stat ofcourse.
I note that I have actioned on more reviews than mspeachy. I win.
15:36
LOL
Yep thanks , i will leave it 'Not sure` for now.
@jokerdino I only used to check for flags and manually peruse the site otherwise :P
well, I usually don't leave comments since @EliahKagan is all over the place
That's really sad that it makes me look like I did nothing
and I do focus on flagging then editing.
15:37
@RolandTaylor It used to be my flag mine as well.
But these days the queue is empty because of Eliah and msPeachy.
@JorgeCastro yeah, tried it. no issues so far except the known keyboard applet crash.
@jokerdino lol
@htorque nice, good to hear! Man, it will suck to update a bunch of stuff
@RolandTaylor No kidding!
@jokerdino lol
15:38
@jokerdino I'm actually happy they are around :)
the whole gconf -> gsettings transition will :P
@RolandTaylor course you are
lol
@msPeachy once you review, it can't be seen by anyone else.
@RolandTaylor I am not. It hurts my flagging count.
@htorque How many are still stuck in gconf now?
tons
@aking1012 sidetracked on the phone, thanks will take a look :-)
15:40
@jokerdino I know, at least 2 reviews and then it is out of the queue?
@htorque :/
@msPeachy yes
@jokerdino well I'm okay with it because I got accustomed to my hard work going unnoticed in real life :P
The point really isn't to be noticed, but to just get the job done.

@jokerdino I hate to do the review when I've reached my vote limit, will take a break and eat
@RolandTaylor I see.
@RolandTaylor Well, I don't post a screenshot of my review stat every week or so.
15:41
Only once a month.
@msPeachy happy eating.
I don't post a screenshot of my review stat...
ever.
@msPeachy okie Kumquat :D
Morning
@RolandTaylor what you mean you don't do it for the glory?

15:42
I convinced myself everyone (including me) is a hypocrite one way or the other. So I'll let it pass.
nothing on the fridge that's ready-to-eat except apples
@RolandTaylor why do you keep calling me Kumquat?
@msPeachy :funnyface:
@msPeachy lol because it's another fruit - long story lol
@RolandTaylor a fruit which you've never had
We (my guild) used to have "pet names" for each other in Battleswarm - and they were all fruit :P
15:46
Roland was/is a badass gamer.
your name "Peachy" reminds me of that - so I gave you a pet name - in fruit
@jokerdino lol actually yeah I was lol :D
I was one of the top bugs on Battleswarm
And before the game ended, I was the last bug standing - when all the other top bugs left
I was also the only one to get that high without ever once cheating
@RolandTaylor so you're saying I'm your pet?
@msPeachy lol nooooooooo
hahahaha
@msPeachy lol he won't admit it :P
15:48
you are his koolaid
@aking1012 well of course I do
btw, let me make this clear
@jokerdino :D
i really don't like the fruit peaches.
@jokerdino That's not true
15:48
@RolandTaylor just jk
@jokerdino oh that
:P
I only gave @msPeachy a pet name because her name reminded me of the names we used to have
@jokerdino how about apples?
@msPeachy Apples I like.
@RolandTaylor it's okay, I was just having you a hard time, I get it....
you know me
15:50
They were: Grape, Watermelon, Orange, Pineapple, Kumquat, Peach (IIRC)
@msPeachy lol
@jokerdino me too, I just had a mango crepe
My penchant for explaining things gets on my family and friends' nerves lol
:P
hm
I think Roland was the first super high rep user that I interacted with.
@RolandTaylor there are times when you shouldn't explain things, but you should always explain things to me, lol

15:52
need to reboot, brb
@aking1012 that's I
@msPeachy lol you would get annoyed after a while trust me :P
nitstorm formatted my first question, Jorge added a screenshot and upvoted my answer. jrg downvoted my one other answer and scared me. Roland was nice to me earlier on.
Trying to find the links.
Great answer! However, the last part is a bit misleading - those are shortcuts for GNOME (Unity, GNOME Shell, or GNOME Classic) desktops, not for the Shell itself. He means a "cheat sheet" kind of list, listing all the GNOME Shell specific shortcuts (there is one for Unity here). — Roland Taylor Oct 16 '11 at 11:27
-1, that link's instructions won't work properly for 11.10 and gtk3. — jrg Oct 17 '11 at 11:49
@jokerdino wow I was amazingly friendly back then
The rest two I mentioned don't have any interaction. Links for sharing - askubuntu.com/questions/65969/… and askubuntu.com/questions/63844/how-to-recover-grub2
@RolandTaylor You probably were. Your next comment about "massive" rep was what caught me in AU.
btw, i was pretty scared of jrg's face back then.
I only started to know more when he followed me on Twitter after I was talking to conscioususer and me4oslav about polly's svg icon.
ok. too much crap. Time's up here.
@jokerdino where was it?
15:59
@RolandTaylor the comment in the same answer
Add the details of that cheatsheet to your answer for massive rep ;). — Roland Taylor Oct 16 '11 at 15:20
night night bro
@jokerdino ohhh
nighty
byee
thanks for the shadow upvotes o.O
15 rep for recollecting the past :P
Bye @jokerdino and thanks for the memories :D
@RolandTaylor :D
16:01
oh how sweet
lol
past and memories...
oh noes!
@msPeachy can see my former nice side :O
I won't seem like a heartless tyrant anymore!
my cover is blown :D
I'm leaving!
@RolandTaylor LOL
@msPeachy :P
16:02
@RolandTaylor seen your nice side long time ago
well not that long but yeah
@msPeachy you're **
lol
@hakermania your.
@hakermania I'm a?
hackermania loves to troll with false corrections to our English grammar.
ohhh
16:04
@RolandTaylor I love it
It started when I corrected one of his actual mistakes.
:D
lies
izx
izx
@RolandTaylor No thank you, me vertebrate ;)
@izx ahh a chordate :D
16:06
@izx ROFL, you're funny
@hakermania *lying
@hakermania *xD
@RolandTaylor I didn't say that you are lying. I just said 'lies' (plural of lie)
@hakermania *did not
@RolandTaylor διδ νοτ *

16:16
@izx how do you delete a message (& why?)
izx
izx
@hakermania Click on the down arrow, and you'll see a delete option (within 2 minutes of posting)...it's because there is a public transcript of all chat rooms, and you may not want some things to stick around forever ;)
@izx Aha. But I didn't even see the message. Was it for me or roland?
izx
izx
Both...
@izx I didn't read it. Why don't you wait more before you delete something?

Happens every time :)
izx
izx
16:22
@hakermania Blame the system, not me :P
waves to everybody
Hello all
@AmithKK hi
now he waves
but still with the "Hello all"
@msPeachy lol this is sad :D
@izx the system can't make you delete anything...
@AmithKK hi
@RolandTaylor :) I'm smiling though
@AmithKK Hey kiddo
izx
izx
16:31
@RolandTaylor Big Brother is always watching...
@izx so what did you say that needed to be deleted?
izx
izx
@RolandTaylor Someone needs to keep the kids in check!
(Or what is it that makes you say things that need to be deleted so quickly so often)
izx
izx
Sensitivity towards others ;)
hmm
I still don't get it

Hi, I have bought a computer. But, it comes with an operating system -windows 7-. ( built in ) I want install Ubuntu 12.04, but I have one problem =>if windows 7 is deleted on hard disk, I cannot reinstall the windows 7 ( if I need at future ). I dont want install Ubuntu inside windows 7 over using virtual box. What should I do ?
@gcc dual boot.
It's covered on this site how to do it.
izx
izx
@gcc If you need in future make recovery disks.
@RolandTaylor If we must put a name to it...*foot-in-mouth disease* :P

gcc
@RolandTaylor in which site?
16:36
Hello @RolandTaylor @hakermania @msPeachy

Q: How do I set up a dual boot Windows and Ubuntu?

WilliamI currently have Windows 7 on my computer and I want to install Ubuntu alongside Windows safely. Could someone please provide a good tutorial? Thanks!

@MarcoCeppi thanks I was looking for that question
@MarcoCeppi Side topic, I got a new SSD and installed Ubuntu leaving space for Windows... is it a bad idea to install Windows after installing ubuntu?
@Greg yes
not unless you're prepared to wrestle with Grub
I think I'll just leave Windows off my machine ... better
What can't you do with Wine these days anyway?
16:38
stay sober ;)
gcc
gcc
@Greg why is it a bad idea ?
muhahaha
@MarcoCeppi rofl
@gcc I am not prepared to wrestle with a Grub.
@gcc When you install Ubuntu over Windows, Ubuntu takes care to check if you have other operating systems installed
When you install Windows over anything else, it just goes in to clobber mode because they assume you won't have any other operating systems
16:39
You don't want to mess with Grub. He's one bad ass.
As a result you'll be able to boot in to Windows without any problem; however, getting back in to Ubuntu will require a bit of work
Grub ^^
izx
izx
@Greg How about a jabberwock?
izx
izx
16:41
That's a nice model!
@gcc so it's possible to install windows after you install Ubuntu, but you'll need to quite a bit of work to get the dual-boot working again. If you're doing Ubuntu over Windows, you'll be fine.
gcc
gcc
@MarcoCeppi thanks
O_o
How did you get my pet's picture?
Thief!
izx
izx
@RolandTaylor Keeping pet dragons is illegal. You have been warned.
16:47
@izx technically, he's not a dragon :D
But okay I'll take the warning :)
I dare anyone to try to enforce the law
izx
izx
ROFL...or what, you'll call "the people who know people who know people?"
Yeah, colour it in
@AmithKK time consuming :P
izx
izx
@AmithKK Haha!
@RolandTaylor Use crayons ;)
16:50
@izx hahaha nah
I don't have the time to buy them, print that, and then colour it :P
(I've already scanned and cleaned it up)
izx
izx
A better excuse is what I used to say to my art teachers...
Everything looks more beautiful in black and white, why ruin it?
:D
izx
izx
That worked until one said "Fine, use only black and white, shade it in."
^--- there - shaded :P
(Took lots of time to do that one)
(also, for those who know me - YES I KNOW IT'S OLD)
BBT
Good Night
