For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | Added by Seveas Date: 2006-06-18 21:53:33 Last edited by Myrtti Date: 2008-10-08 17:34:10 Requested 81 times |
| nick | <reply> Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use «/nick <newnick>» for that), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Libera. | Added by LjL Date: 2007-02-09 18:13:37 Last edited by kryten Date: 2021-05-24 22:54:29 Requested 346 times |
| nickfork-#ubuntu-offtopic | a silly little game for offtopic channels ONLY. The way it works is you pick out a random nick from the /names list (works best if they're idle), have a bunch of people switch to something similar (scrambles, reverse, 1337speak), and see how long it takes for the real person to catch on. Have fun! | Added by tonyyarusso Date: 2008-02-20 09:55:16 Last edited by rww Date: 2011-04-06 06:16:22 Requested 14 times |
| nickspam | <reply> You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.

| night | <reply> It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | Added by Hobbsee Date: 2007-05-27 13:30:59 Last edited by Hobbsee Date: 2007-05-27 13:35:36 Requested 105 times |

| nopti | <reply> KPTI is a mitigation for the !Meltdown security issue. With some workloads on some processors, KPTI has a significant performance impact. KPTI can be disabled by adding "nopti" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub. This should only be done if absolutely necessary because it will disable protections against Meltdown and thus allow any malicious user process to read memory and probably escalate to root. | Added by dax Date: 2018-01-10 01:34:24 Last edited by dax Date: 2018-01-10 02:07:38 Requested 18 times |

| nothing broken | <reply> Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. | Added by LjL Date: 2006-09-28 17:58:44 Last edited by LjL Date: 2007-02-12 01:23:56 Requested 267 times |

| notunity-#ubuntu+1 | <deleted><reply> Ubuntu Oneiric uses GNOME 3 with the !Unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell on Oneiric, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".
