answer? askubuntu.com/a/520156/61218

@edwinksl why actually?

edwinksl

@Anwar no idea. i don't even know who made that in the first place. i just messaged the sub's mods though, so let's see what happens.

Anwar

let me know if you find anything new

edwinksl

will do

Good afternoon ! :)

Anwar

NAA askubuntu.com/a/424229/61218

Serg

Wooo, apparently there is a fix for my docker issues, which is apparently was caused by filesystem mounting and the fix is on the way to Ubuntu Snappy . I contacted the docker team on launchpad and they responded @NathanOsman

Anwar

@Serg your solution here didn't work for me askubuntu.com/questions/542922/…. I want to disable the dns from my ISP

@cl-netbox good afternoon!

cl-netbox

@Anwar Hi Anwar ! :) How are you ? :)

Anwar

I'm fine. Thanks for asking

Serg

3:22 PM

@Anwar see this askubuntu.com/a/855192/295286 That older answer needs to be updated and i wrote it way back when i knew very little. The dhclient method works all the time

cl-netbox

@Anwar That is good - indeed ! :)

Anwar

My provider is 3G and there is not DHCP only option in gui

cl-netbox

@Serg Are you feeling better today ? Back to 100 % health ? :)

Serg

@Anwar also, if you want to set static dns for all computers in your home, just change dhcp options on your router.

Anwar

Thanks. but I don't have a router.

Serg

3:25 PM

@cl-netbox Yes, back to 90% health. Still need to get better about my sleep and try not to get sick because its cold in Denver

@Anwar what do you have ?

Anwar

I use a 3G USB modem

cl-netbox

@Serg Drink some hot tea - that helps against the cold ! :) By the way ... it's cold here too ! :)

Serg

Oh, never used one of those. So yeah, just see my newer answer , that one always works.

@cl-netbox will do :)

cl-netbox

:)

Anwar

@Serg nothing happened :(

Serg

3:35 PM

@Anwar Did you reconnect ? How exactly you tested the solution ?

Anwar

I disconnected and reconnected

Serg

Ok. What does nmcli dev show | grep DNS tell you ?

Anwar

the two dns provided by the ISP

do you need them?

Serg

No, not necessary

Show me your /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf file. Did you put ; at the end of line ? iP coma separated ?

@Anwar

Anwar

Oh. yes. hold a sec

# Configuration file for /sbin/dhclient.
#
# This is a sample configuration file for dhclient. See dhclient.conf's
#	man page for more information about the syntax of this file
#	and a more comprehensive list of the parameters understood by
#	dhclient.
#
# Normally, if the DHCP server provides reasonable information and does
#	not leave anything out (like the domain name, for example), then
#	few changes must be made to this file, if any.

@Seth not fond of reddit, but my kudu is awesome, haven't had a problem with it

plus tried to buy the m3800 from dell that they were advertising with ubuntu before buying from system76 - and dell really has the worst service ever

Mark Yisri

Anyone here using a Beaglebone Black?

Or using WordPress on Ubuntu?

Anwar

4:30 PM

what's the problem with wordpress

root

can anyone link some reading material on what happens to the X server when switching to a different virtual terminal?

I'm looking for information on if the GUI is suspended, continues running as if it were "minimized", ect

Anwar

4:53 PM

People just want to pass knowledge. They don't even mind if it is irrelevant link

Serg

5:06 PM

@root i answered something like this a while back. GUI is not suspended, its just the virtual terminals are given control over stdin and stdout

@Anwar sorry for delay, i was in class. Your file looks OK. Not quite sure what exactly is the issue. I would suggest posting question about it.

IanC

@Zanna I found a LP player a little less expensive for my father! I'm not trying to figure out if his LPs would work on it, turns out there are different rotations for a LP (33rpm, 45rpm and 78rpm), and this one only plays 33rpm

Anwar

@Serg Don't worry. It's not urgent. Thanks. I'll think about it if I don't find any clue

IanC

it looks like 33rpm is the most common, and most likely what he has, but for the money I'll have to pay for it I better be sure :p @Zanna

Zanna

@IanC yeah it will be really a pain if he can't play all his precious vinyl right?

IanC

would be really awkward haha

well, I'm almost sure it would work, but I'm asking my mom if she can find one of his LPs to check if it says something

terdon

5:16 PM

@IanC Are all his LPs the same size?

IanC

@terdon I don't think so, and some of them are supposed to be played in different speeds

like, those old Jukeboxes usually play 45rpm from what I read

there are 78rpm that were used for recording a single song

terdon

Yes. That's why I asked if they're the same size. If they were, you could have assumed your father only had 33s.

IanC

oh, you meant my fathers LPs?

I think they are all the same size

terdon

Check. That way you know if he needs the different speeds.

Although, it does seem a shame to buy a player that can't play the others.

78 you can almost certainly ignore, but 33s were quite common in the 50s and 60s for singles.

IanC

I think here in Brazil the 45rpms didn't really spread, I'm making some research

Serg

5:24 PM

VTC dupe askubuntu.com/q/855422/295286

IanC

well, I'll go out have some lunch or buy some groceries

maybe I'll have an idea on how to find out about those LPs without burning the surprise @Zanna @terdon :p

see you all later!

Zanna

@IanC boa sorte!

root

@Serg when I'm playing a first-person game, make my character jump in the air, and switch to another virtual terminal, when I switch back my character is still in the air and begins to fall

it seems as though the game is suspended (there is no pause)

Serg

5:39 PM

@root thats interesting observation. i will have to make a bit of research then. Things like downloading files dont get stopped for me, i.e., browser doesnt seem to be suspended. I dont recall what it does with youtube videos. Perhaps try that. As far as i recall, they continue playing one i log into tty

root

hmm ok. if you come across any informational links, send them my way

I'll test with youtube in a few hours

Mark Yisri

@ThomasWard are you around?

@terdon Thomas Ward previously mentioned that explicit write in chat rooms could only be enabled by a moderator.

I am not a moderator, but I can enable the explicit write in my own room!

Is this a bug, possibly related to my Meta question here

terdon

@MarkYisri For whom?

Mark Yisri

A user already on chat

terdon

Not a bug. Neither is your meta post.

Chat rep is network-wide rep.

That's why I have >200K

a

Mark Yisri

5:45 PM

@terdon Okay, thanks for the clarification.

terdon

I only have 40k or so here.

Serg

T.T i only have like 36k here

terdon

As fro explicit write, sure you as room owner can give it to anyone who can already chat (has >20 rep system-wide). It takes a mod to give explicit write access to a user who doesn't have the minimum rep required to chat.

cl-netbox

@terdon only ! hahaha ... good evening terdon ! :)

terdon

o/

Mark Yisri

5:46 PM

@terdon I see, thanks for the clarification!

terdon

@cl-netbox Well, only compared to 202k!

@MarkYisri You're welcome.

cl-netbox

@terdon 200 is well deserved in your case ! :)

terdon

Much of it is silly +100 from creating accounts on various sites.

I only have a serious presence in U&L, AU, SU, ELU, Biology and, to a lesser extent SO and SFF.

Serg

I need to spend more time on U&L. i only got 1.8k there

cl-netbox

@Serg Most of your answers on AU would be suitable there, because a whole bunch of questions on AU would be better asked on U&L - right @terdon ? :)

terdon

5:55 PM

better? No. Just as good, sure.

Mark Yisri

Which was created first?

Serg

U&L

Mark Yisri

So then why did they make Ask Ubuntu in the first place?

Because the Ubuntu team wanted it?

Serg

Because community requested it on Area51

And there was not much opposition to it, so yeah . . .

cl-netbox

@terdon Well so many questions and answers are not ubuntu specific, they not even include the word ubuntu ... so that's why I said it. :)

terdon

5:57 PM

There is very, very little that is specific to Ubuntu.

Serg

At lesst thats what i know from reading a couple Jeff Atwood blogs. I was not there when AU was created

cl-netbox

@terdon Exactly ! This is what I meant ... :)

Mark Yisri

That might be similar to super User and this new Ask Microsoft proposal that's being made. But it looks like it isn't going to run.

jokerdino

some questions about Launchpad, U1 and PPA making might be specific to Ask Ubuntu

terdon

Yeah. Canonical services and any changes in Ubuntu's kernel and that's about it, I think.

Serg

5:58 PM

I came on board to AU 2 years ago. I was poking around Ubuntu for like 4 months or more, then registered to answer a question about USB

jokerdino

and not to forget the Unity config questions, but lately they are also shipped in other distros I think.

terdon

@jokerdino It's always been installable on other distros.

cl-netbox

@MarkYisri Isn't superuser about MS Windows ? So another one would be a dupe - right ? Or did I misunderstand ? :) Good evening Mark ! :)

jokerdino

yeah, I remember when there were people using Unity tweak tool in Arch.

terdon

That's in keeping with the famous UNIX philosophy axiom:

> It is not UNIX’s job to stop you from shooting your foot. If you so choose to do so [sic], then it is UNIX’s job to deliver Mr. Bullet to Mr Foot in the most efficient way it knows.

Mark Yisri

6:00 PM

@cl-netbox Good evening! (although it's 1 pm where I am (EST))

terdon

It's It is not Linux’s job to stop you from ~~shooting your foot~~ installing Unity. If you choose to do so, then it is Linux's job to deliver Mz. Unity to Mr Foot in the most efficient way it knows.

cl-netbox

@MarkYisri so then good afternoon Mark ! :)

Serg

@terdon a bit outdated philosophy imho

cl-netbox

@jokerdino What should this be good for ? UTT in arch ... hmmm ... Hi @jokerdino ! :)
