[01:40] hey, if I delete my /proc/ directory, will my computer still boot? [01:41] I'm just wondering because I heard it is full of generated files [01:45] I don't think you'll be able to [01:46] They aren't "files" as you would think of them. They aren't on disk. It just a directory full of pretend files that the kernel creates to give/receive information. [01:47] So theoretically, if you were able to delete any of them, the kernel would recreate them upon the next boot. [01:58] ah [01:58] thanks ryclik [01:59] No problem [02:12] I might just fire up ubuntu in a VM and start destroying it for practice [02:12] like killing important files and recover them or something [02:28] DazPetty: running rm -rf * is pretty fun in a vm [02:29] as its running try to use the system normally as it disintegrates. The only things left after it's done are the processes which were lucky enough to be loaded into RAM [02:29] haha cool idea [02:30] create snapshots so you don't need to worry about reinstalling while you're experimenting [02:30] ahh good idea [02:31] I do this whenever I decide to install a new distro. Just nuke the old one and watch it die lol [03:00] [03:44] ok hey i just upload this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyqt9Fqn_6M to show u how my computer atcs on its own, its hard to explain and making a vid was the only kind of thing i could come up wth [04:01] HELP [04:01] I JUST FUCKING RM'D EVERYTHING [04:01] IT'S ALL GONE [04:01] I AM PANICKING [04:01] you're also lying and trolling [04:01] I HAD VERY IMPORTANT GAY PORN ON THERE ELKY [04:01] r u going to help me unrm [04:02] elky: it says this command does not exist [04:15] vid just added https://youtu.be/apQkQcDpMkM [19:08] hi! anybody here?

I may configure nautilus but it have no efect when i have "selest files# manager [19:16] oO [19:16] i would try upstream in #ubuntu or nautilus specific support [19:18] and maybe #lubuntu for pcmanfm specific issues [19:19] Ok! Thank You! [20:07] howdy [20:07] How do I fix screen tearing? [20:08] CountryfiedLinux, depends on your gfx card and driver used [20:08] mrkramps, Intel [20:09] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#Tear-free_video [20:12] mrkramps, It looks like that folder doesn't exist on my system. [20:12] I meant Unit193 sorry mrkramps [20:12] hey there, I'm new to linux. just installed xubuntu 14.04 on old pc. I'm trying to get Skype. I'm installing it, but it just won't start. I looked at many forums, tried different ways, but it just won't start. Terminal says aborted (core dumped). It'd be really glad if someone could help. Thanks [20:12] !skype [20:12] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [20:12] xubuntu71w: i try different versions.. i'll get the .deb from the site [20:13] CountryfiedLinux: You can create it. [20:13] CountryfiedLinux, create folder and file [20:13] sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [20:13] ok thanks [20:13] create the file.. you are likely looking for x11, and not X11 [20:14] X11 should be there.. [20:14] the wiki says X11 [20:14] holstein: /etc/X11/ [20:14] CountryfiedLinux: it *is* X11.. but, you should have X11.. that "folder" should exist.. [20:14] had been so forever i guess [20:15] im gussing you are searching /etc/x11.. but, no need to guess.. the command mrkramps gave will work.. ^ [20:15] CountryfiedLinux, btw. what model of intel card you have? [20:16] oops [20:16] It's xorg.conf that isn't there. I'll create it. [20:16] CountryfiedLinux, xorg.conf is deprecated [20:16] that's what the wiki says to do [20:17] ist says xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf [20:18] I don't have any kind of xorg folder in etc/X11 [20:18] but I can create it. [20:18] CountryfiedLinux, and you still have to create it, see above [20:22] ok thank you [20:25] I'm trying to open that directory with Pluma and it's popped up saying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf is a directory. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. [20:26] I know it's a directory because I just made it. [20:27] 20-intel.conf should be a file, _not_ a directory [20:28] oh ok thanks. [20:28] I'll try again. [20:31] OK do I reboot for changes to take effect or just logout? [20:32] just logout [20:32] ok thanks [21:48] I am running Kubuntu 15.04. How can I add the Xubuntu 15.04 repositories to use Xfce with "ubuntu"#? [21:50] netstar, the repositories are the same.
