Has anyone else tried the Vivaldi browser?

Yep

@terdon no Chrome sync, and I need my Chrome sync. It's nice though.

@terdon downloading :)

any perks?

I like it when the deb has "stable" in the name :=)

hmm no icon on the launcher after install?

I liked it

I already hate it >:-D too many options at the beginning _O--------------

should I go for red or black :P

muru

5:35 PM

I want to say: "English, please.": askubuntu.com/questions/789386/…

but then half the post is already in English thanks to the technical output

bing as a default search engine :P

boo!

@muru ¿Español, eh?

muru

Que? (Or something)

ooh nice webpanels :P

@Rinzwind Looks good so far. I only just downloaded it myself.

5:40 PM

So how is Vivaldi related to Opera again?

Vivaldi is a freeware web browser developed by Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by Opera Software co-founder and former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Tatsuki Tomita.[5][6]

1 annoying thing: askubuntu reload sometimes flashes the page

and what is keeping my T-Bone steak from arriving :P

my rep has 666 in it. ebil me :=)

@Rinzwind they have to harvest the T-Bone live :P

@Rinzwind Working As Intended?

@terdon the icon on the launcher seems a bit fuzzy

@ThomasW. dont think I see that on chromium :P

@Rinzwind I wouldn't know, no launcher :)

5:45 PM

@terdon says the AU wannebe mod :+)

@Rinzwind Hey, I could be using Ubuntu and a proper DE!

"do you run ubuntu" should be a moderator question :=D

OK, I'm not, but I could be!

@Rinzwind Perhaps, but not "do you use ~~that crappy DE~~ unity?"

I like it.

Argh, no SE chat helper extension. That's going to be a deal breaker.

5:46 PM

damn twice the ping is annoying :D
(one from ff and 1 from v)

@Rinzwind ouch

ping ping

@Rinzwind Now it's a ping-pong

@Rinzwind Oh, sorry @Rinzwind, I didn't do that on purpose. Really, @Rinzwind, I didn't.

fine no more vivaldi for me >:-D

5:47 PM

And yes, that's what I consider humor.

@terdon nice spanish askubuntu.com/questions/789386/…

no hablas espagnol :=)

@edwinksl I spent 7 years in Spain, you tend to pick up the language in that time :)

brag brag brag :=)

donde esta la bibliotecha?

5:49 PM

we are learning more and more about our new mod

@Rinzwind I believe you meant eres un pretensioso de mierda

@edwinksl he so aint becomming a mod >:D

@edwinksl he speaks a ton of languages

Modspeak, for one.

Perl?

5:50 PM

For another

Although I'm wrestling Python these days.

Damned significant whitespace.

TBONE INCOMMING >:)

@Rinzwind Why do you have all the fun? Same country, only a cowardly little rain here...

Steak?

@Rinzwind parteh

@terdon yes

5:51 PM

@Rinzwind pics or it didn't happen

Mmmmm

@JacobVlijm Yeah, well, at least you don't need to do this for your laptop to work:

yesterday, by terdon

@JacobVlijm been raining all day

@terdon Drying? you dropped it in the tub?

@JacobVlijm No, overheating.

@terdon saw it yesterday :)

5:53 PM

@terdon I have a laptop cooling pad I have to use to prevent overheats heh

@terdon of course, it's a Dell.

crappy hardware he means @JacobVlijm

so I feel your pain

@jokerdino More to the point, it's a ~5 year old Dell. I'm quite impressed with it, actually.

i use a dell too and it feels like a toaster

5:54 PM

It's a high-end dell, the hardware is really not bad.

I had a Dell.

@terdon you need a new wallpaper

Burnt my fingers and now on Lenovo.

@jokerdino Which one? I'm thinking of buying one. I had a t4500 which was the best laptop I've ever owned by far.

But the idiots changed the keyboard... sigh

It's a G500s.

Named it after my sister.

Q: Dual Boot - Windows 10 / Ubuntu 16.04

5:56 PM

Ha! That guy definitely knows it!

0

My Lenovo Thinkpad has Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04. I installed Ubuntu first followed by Windows. So system is booting to Windows. Now I have to reinstall GRUB2 using boot-repair for making dual boot work. I am doubtful whether this will work because today morning for the same system configurati...

dual-boot grub2

If your sister's name is G500, she's going to have an awful time in school.

Oh no!

That typo got edited...

askubuntu.com/revisions/789406/1

> Dual Boot - Windows 0 / Ubuntu 16.04

@ByteCommander lol

munching. bbl

oh

6:10 PM

I have a G510.

You've both gone for the Gs, huh?

Why?

You want the large screen?

Sister was not willing to pay for a ThinkPad.

Fair enough

I think the elections room is much too crowded.

gg askubuntu.com/q/789415/15003

6:19 PM

Why would that have removed ls though?

@terdon cheap

@Seth That's a good reason.

I got a refurbed one with an i7, 8GB of RAM and 1TB disk for $450 USD

Woah!!!

That's a great deal if it works OK

I paid for it in other areas, but $500 was my budget so I didn't do too bad.

@terdon It has worked great so far. Very quiet.

6:22 PM

T-Bone is now an ex T-Bone

@terdon is it because he/she is the root directory at the time of typing that rm -r

@edwinksl So? That would remove the various /lib dirs but not anything from /bin

By the way @edwinksl please don't leave useless comments like this:

Your system seems pretty bricked. — edwinksl 6 mins ago

@terdon fine

6:50 PM

Something here is not quite right...

@NathanOsman good to know they are solderable

Videonauth

@terdon how many languages yre you fluently speaking?

I'm still disappointed Amazon doesn't sell the Chromecast.

@Rinzwind an X bone

Curse you Verizon!

Q: What other linux distros i can install over Ubuntu?

7:01 PM

0

After going through the third and quite expensive (office down for days) nightmare of updating to a higher major version Ubuntu with the same result: nothing works anymore, and even if: it's usually slower or completely unusable or buggy, I am wondering now what I can install over Ubuntu but keep...

updates uninstall debian

Jun 21 '15 at 15:41, by terdon

@A.B. English, Greek, Spanish, French and Catalan in order of fluency.

S4 could be unlocked on 4.2.2, but now it can't

Videonauth

ah ok

custom ROMs can be installed, but only TW ones

blegh

Catalan, nice

7:17 PM

@Rinzwind Whoa, now he becomes insulting!

@Rinzwind. sorry for you being not able to understand the question. its pretty simple: what distro you could install over Ubuntu without formatting. Looks like a question for people who know such things.... — xamiro 7 mins ago

Mateo

wow, installing fresh would be the best way...

just copy the personal files off first

respect, first you guys screw your users with buggy software and non-sense every linux guru is crying at since long and then you slap people in top who want's to save their ass by getting away from that crap. not bad, very creative "running away" , like always. i am feeling ashamed being linux user if the outcome is your usual arrogant and ignorant bs. you guys should get kicked right in the face. that are real people you f** over and over. shame on you guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!! — xamiro 3 mins ago

This quy really requests the hammer.

Flagged comment as offensive.

I can't figure out what he's saying

he's basically ranting

in "Screw you all" rant mode

basically?

7:24 PM

pretty much, yes.

he's angry, taking it out on us

literally :p

I don't call some of his comments "literally ranting" moreso "flat out attacking" which is not a rant :P

well....

ugh servers are expensive as hell

lol

7:26 PM

needs $4500

attacks can be rants

@ThomasW. lol good luck with that

@ThomasW. needs $45000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

ooo

$796 is better than $4500 lol

wat

Henry WH Hack

Hello Everybody I just got the Notable Question barge and I did not have to do anything to get it but wait for a question to get 2,000 views. :)

Sorry!

7:30 PM

gratz

USB Bank?

@Zacharee1 DIY server thanks to a buddy with 128GB RAM :P

expensive but more affordable than $4500 :P

Has anyone seen a USB-C OTG y-adapter cable?

I've seen USB-C OTG cables. I've seen USB 2.0 OTG y-adapters.

@ThomasW. you're getting a server with 128GB RAM for $800?

Just not something that combines the two :D

@ThomasW. Drools...

7:35 PM

@Zacharee1 no, I am building a server with 128GB RAM

to become my THIRD hypervisor

ohh

@NathanOsman dual xeons too

should add to the drooling :P

stahp

behold the hypervisor I shall call BEHEMOTH

my two current systems are each with 24GB RAM - this will outclass it

i just need... $800 :P

I was looking on e-bay the other day at used 2U servers.

But... man. They are noisy.

7:36 PM

@NathanOsman yes they are, though I"m hunting tower-formfactor

not racked

Yeah, more like a workstation?

pretty much, but with the power of a server inside it

my one hypervisor is a refurb'd HP workstation

my second one has no case, but is basically an OEM server box strewn out on top of the chassis for a dead server now

the third one will outclass them both, and be a "WORSHIP ME!" kind of computer that all the others will cower away from in fear of its power >:D

the evil part: I have to set up vCenter to manage them all together >.<

Mateo

@NathanOsman like this amazon.com/Adapter-Macbook-Chromebook-Surface-Supportted/dp/…

which requires a fourth box

@Mateo Indeed. Except it needs to ship to Canada :D

@ThomasW. how much does that cost.

7:42 PM

As you all may have noticed already, my Stack Exchange network accounts have all been deleted. I recently came to a decision about some things in my life, and I'm turning in some new directions. I enjoyed my time around the network, and I did make a few friends here.

Where was that?

email

noobs. noobs. all I see is noobs :D

@Zacharee1 stupid. why not just leave and leave the accounts as is.

@NathanOsman Expensive, but I get it through my University so... $0

>:)

@Rinzwind o_O

7:43 PM

@Rinzwind the content has probably been disassociated.

Yuck! You expect a Linux question and you get the reflection of hairy armpits in an old-school screen photo >:P askubuntu.com/q/789404/367990

@Zacharee1 were you supposed to share that?

@NathanOsman yes

@NathanOsman yeah.

@Zacharee1 should be "no". email is private ;-)

I took out the beginning of the message:

Hey Zach,

I just wanted you to pass along a message to everyone else on Ask Ubuntu. Reword it, simplify it, whatever you want to do. Anyway, here it is.

7:45 PM

@Zacharee1 but not the username at the end
