| Pendulum | okay, I have a stupid question about something I really should know. So I told firefox to restart after downloading an update | 16:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Pendulum | except it closed, but never reopened | 16:46 |
| IdleOne | Pendulum: yeah, that happens sometimes | 16:46 |
| Pendulum | so I just tried opening it myself and it's now telling me that there are still running processes | 16:47 |
| Pendulum | so it won't reopen | 16:47 |
| IdleOne | killall firefox | 16:47 |
| Pendulum | thank you :) | 16:47 |
| IdleOne | no problem | 16:47 |
| nigelb | IdleOne: you're waaay too fast | 16:47 |
| IdleOne | haha | 16:47 |
| nigelb | by the time I typed kill, you already typed it out | 16:47 |
| Pendulum | (I was going to try that, but didn't want to try it and cause a bigger problem) | 16:47 |
| IdleOne | I try to do my best :) most of the time I fail but I keep trying | 16:47 |
| Pendulum | I really need to get better command line & bash skills (this is not a "oh you must use the command line for linux" thing, but a "i like the command line" thing) | 16:48 |
| IdleOne | Pendulum: I don't think that killing processes is ever a big issue. unless you have 50 pc's depending on those processes | 16:48 |
| nigelb | or you kill X | 16:48 |
| IdleOne | in a case like firefox----kill away :) | 16:49 |
| IdleOne | Pendulum: besides you should be using Chrome or Chromium | 16:50 |
| IdleOne | :) | 16:50 |
| IdleOne | all the cool kids are doing it | 16:50 |
| nigelb | I'm not cool enough for chrome ;) | 16:51 |
| Pendulum | there are other reasons why I should, but I get nervous to have google have access to even more of my life than they already do ;) | 16:51 |
| === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler | ||
| valorie | Pendulum: use Chromium | 20:57 |
| valorie | there is no phone-home bit in it | 20:57 |
| * valorie likes it, but it hasn't surpassed FF for me yet | 20:58 | |
| Pendulum | heh | 20:58 |
| JanC | valorie: there is some "phone home" stuff in both Chromium & FF default config... | 21:05 |
| valorie | besides say, cookies? | 21:06 |
| valorie | I haven't heard about that | 21:06 |
| JanC | well, the search suggestion stuff, the bad website check, etc. | 21:09 |
| JanC | of course, most people consider that features ☺ | 21:09 |
| valorie | I do, yes | 21:16 |
| valorie | esp. at the price: free | 21:16 |
