12:00 AM
@jrg it doesn't seem to be working for the hiring folks though...evidently they're not UI ppl
and i have digressed in to grossly off-topic, so i'm shutting up
 
@mateo_salta Okay.
@jrg Do you use Stack Overflow Careers at all?
 
12:24 AM
It is upsetting me how much duplicity in ideas is occurring for the app-showdown in conjunction with all "not you do it" re-work of previous projects being on topic
It seems to me like reworking an old idea is fine as long as you're not the progenitor of the idea
 
12:44 AM
@GeorgeEdison hmm, looks like i got it running from qt creator
 
@mateo_salta Wow... awesome!
You sir, are my hero for the day :)
 
I'm not sure what to do from here
 
I'll ping someone who might be able to help.
 
I think i need to find where it built it
 
@jrg: mateosalta was able to get it running. What should he do to get it packaged, etc.?
@mateo_salta I really appreciate this by the way.
 
12:46 AM
sure thing, it was a bit different the building in linux
 
jrg
@aking1012 Well, want me to send your resume to some IT sec people around here? I know you're looking...
@GeorgeEdison I'm not sure what the options are in QT creator mac.
let me do some googling and then I can help
@GeorgeEdison and yes I do use SO careers.
 
sure
oh, there is a build project button, I hit the run one to get that far
 
@mateo_salta If you click run it automatically builds the project first.
 
jrg
particularly this section - qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/…
 
@jrg That's an excellent find.
 
12:50 AM
oh, so in QTDIR/bin/macdeployqt.
wher is qtdir?
 
jrg
I think wherever QT creator is installed.
i don't have a mac in front of me otherwise I'd be looking, sorry.
 
understandable
ok, found it with the search, so not where they said
alright here is the usage, "acdeployqt app-bundle [options]

Options:
-verbose=<0-3> : 0 = no output, 1 = error/warning (default), 2 = normal, 3 = debug
-no-plugins : Skip plugin deployment
-dmg : Create a .dmg disk image
-no-strip : Don't run 'strip' on the binaries
-use-debug-libs : Deploy with debug versions of frameworks and plugins (implies -no-strip)
-executable=<path> : Let the given executable use the deployed frameworks too

macdeployqt takes an application bundle as input and makes it
 
jrg
I would suggest -no-strip and no -dmg (at least for the first go around)
 
Also, it mentions something about adding third party libraries - so that would include QJson.
 
yeah, I had to build and instal that, so it should do the plugins, unless using the -no-plugins, or do I need to specify that
 
jrg
1:02 AM
it should do the plugins.
unless you use -no-plugins
 
any one knows sml here?
 
@jrg I don't think QJson is a plugin though... is it?
I don't really know though.
 
also, what to use for app-bundle?
 
jrg
@GeorgeEdison I don't know, I don't do QT. :P
 
In Qt terminology, a plugin is something else. So I'm going to guess no.
 
1:07 AM
any one knows sml here?
functional programming....
 
@GeorgeEdison , so it is just the folder that has the build, sounds like, "A bundle is a directory structure that appears as a single entity when viewed in the Finder. A bundle for an application typcially contains the executable and all the resources it needs."
 
jrg
OH, that kind of a bundle.
 
yeah, the terms are bit confusing
 
jrg
yeah, it's the .app thing that apple has set up.
that's fine.
 
should work once we figure what they say is what
 
jrg
1:16 AM
Ugh, I hate email. I hate checking it, I hate reading it and I hate running mail servers.
@mateosalta have you tried the Mac build yet?
 
yeah on the app, got this output, looks like it can't find json
mateo:nitroshare-build-desktop-Qt_4_8_2_in_PATH__System__Debug mateo_salta$ macdeployqt nitroshare.app -no-stripERROR: no file at "/usr/lib/libqjson.0.dylib"
oh, I probally need to do sudo for something like this...
 
bob
hi. i'm using ubuntu 12.04 unity 3d. I am having troubles to lock vlc to the left panel. It doesn't behave the same way other applications do. For example, (left) clicking on it doesn't bring it to front, but creates a new instance. Any way around that ?
 
1:37 AM
hmm, from the errors it acts like it is already done from the qt creator, I'm going to the package the app as .dmg another way and see it it was all self contained.
 
jrg
@aking1012 I just ran into that formatting thing where the only way to format a heavily commented (with #) code block is to put it into blockquotes.
I should report that as a bug to John Gruber.
 
@JorgeCastro they ditched it - meta.stackoverflow.com/a/136810/177471
 
jrg
How am I supposed to feed my ego if I can't share my awesome answers with a few clicks?!
 
lol, I didn't use it that often.
I usually just get the link and share it.
 
jrg
same here.
 
1:53 AM
right. we won't have much of a problem then.
 
What's with all the cat gifs?
 
good morning
 
good morning
 
jrg
@GeorgeEdison I think I broke stacktack's wordpress plugin. - 2buntu.com/?p=3139&preview=true
 
2:02 AM
One sec. I'll take a peek.
 
jrg
ok.
(when you get the chance, it isn't urgent. far from it. :P)
 
Actually it isn't StackTack :(
 
jrg
oh? What did I break then?
 
Something has messed up the JavaScript on the page.
(It seems.)
 
Stop box from expanding horizontally http://askubuntu.com/questions/155214/stop-box-from-expanding-horizontally?atw=1 #python
 
2:04 AM
I'm investigating further.
 
jrg
Oh, we ran into this before...
it's the compressor.
 
bob
I'm having problems with vlc, it doesn't play mp4. Is that normal ?
 
For some reason jQuery is getting included after the jQuery Syntax plugin.
Obviously the order needs to be reversed.
 
jrg
I can't find where that setting is.
 
ok, I think I have it, I need someone else with a mac to test, skydrive.live.com/…
its a simple, drag the app to applications installer since it looks like qt made the application to stand alone
 
jrg
2:14 AM
ok
 
hopefully
 
jrg
i'll see if i can borrow some usage time on the iMac tomorrow afternoon, i'll get back to you.
(I already grabbed a copy of the dmg)
 
If it didn't include the dependencies, I'm afraid it may be way over my head
 
jrg
qtcreator is pretty smart from what i've seen, i don't think there will be an issue.
 
@mateo_salta Thank you so much for doing that.
Once we get it tested, I'll upload it to Launchpad.
 
2:17 AM
sure, they made the tools easy to use, and you documented what to install on you readme, so it was almost self explanatory
note to others, if i didn't do it right to also install the "qt libraries" for the qmake tool , qt.nokia.com/downloads not just the sdk, and to install cmake ( cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html) in order to make qjson qjson.sourceforge.net/get_it/unix.html ( and mac uses ls instead of dir )
 
@bob it should be able to play mp4
 
bob
and how about playing .part mp4 files ? (mp4 files as they are being downloaded)
 
that doesn't sound like a good idea.
 
anyone knows ml programming?
 
I added a glossy layer to the share box.
Next up: a nice looking progress bar.

Q: Where can I change the color of the Title Bar in Ubuntu Linux 12 via CSS files?

davidWhere can I change the color of the Title Bar in Ubuntu Linux 12 via CSS files? I edited my Ubuntu from /usr/share/themes/Classic-Ambience-Green/GTK-3.0/settings.ini and /usr/share/themes/Classic-Ambience-Green/GTK-3.0/gtk.css and it works fine after relog. But the only one thing ...

 
is that what you use for shell scripts?
 
lmk when the stacktack is fixed.
 
@jokerdino It isn't broken :P
 
ah, but I can't see it working o.O
 
2:30 AM
Something else is messed up on the page.
 
hmm
2buntu.com/2011/11/13/… I just tucked in the link at the bottom and it doesn't help
jrg, you are up next ;p
 
jrg
@jokerdino i just lost 50 rep, of course I'm next. ;P
 
I need to start getting rep again

@RolandTaylor you don't have to. package some and send them my way ;p
 
:D
I've done one bounty in all my time here.
 
2:39 AM
two you mean
scratch that. you did one so far
 
yawns
 
if anyone feels crappy - askubuntu.com/posts/94225/edit
and heya @LordofTime
ooh, one upvote and two badges. (thanks @RolandTaylor I assume)
 
@jokerdino not me I was on G+
 
maybe it just happened.
thanks mysterious upvoter then.
 
@jokerdino awesome formatting
 
2:46 AM
@tachyons xD
to be honest, it would have been much better if he hadn't formatted anything at all
all those html tags make me want to cringe
 
the end. it is coming. blame HTML.
 
:D
markdown FTW!
 
i belive its a direct copy-paste
@jokerdino if i'm using <span>s or <h4>, that doesnt exist in markdown
(nor does <h3>)
 
yeah it could be.
i would actually delete it as low quality
 
i'm too lazy to flag it
/me is annoyed at the world
 
2:51 AM
@jrg @GeorgeEdison, too bad I don't have 2 mac's on the same network, or I would test it out, do you think it would send between a mac and linux?
the preferences with the task bar icon look nice on it
 
looks like he just copied the source of some web page
 
indeed
 
Hmm waiting for my 100th badge.
 
@mateo_salta Yes.
It will work fine on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
It's cross-platform.
I have a Windows installer if you're interested.
 
cool, I can send it from my linux box to the mac
send me a link to the windows
I should try it between a mac and windows too
 
2:59 AM
i am gonna take a nap. bye
 
There's the Windows installer.
 
oh, right next to the tar.gz awesome
 
3:20 AM
that is one awesome program @GeorgeEdison , it worked mac to windows, something that I noticed is I have black backgrounds, and It is hard to see on dark backgrounds, do you think it is possible to do a slight glow effect
 
I actually just made some adjustments to it. I have a small clip here: plus.google.com/109692134350783862945/posts/TNHCNhLzNyW
I'm not 100% sure if that will fix the problem though - but it might.
...but thank you so much for testing it - I'm so relieved to hear it works.
 
cool, I'm going to try it with linux and mac next, also my windows pc is xp, and it dosn't want to display over the windows, not sure if that was purposeful on the windows one
 
At this point, I programmed it to stay underneath other Windows.
Kind of like a "desktop widget".
 
makes sense

Q: How to set a root password on Ubuntu?

ZigndInstead of letting you set a password for root during install Ubuntu set it to * for no password and disables the actual account login, however even with this being said you can still use root in ubuntu by sudo. So how to set a root password on Ubuntu?

 
izx
3:36 AM
@fossfreedom Many thanks for the tip, DM; the comments do often contain bits of info clarifying the question. Will look back and also keep in mind for future "vandalism" ;) BTW, sorry for the late reply, was impossible to do from mobile chat view.
@UbuntuQuestionsonUL It's a self-QA farm-rep! UL users consider downvoting...
 
Ok @GeorgeEdison the build i packaged with the qt developer won't receive files from linux or windows, good news is that the build that I made with Xcode worked perfectly
so I'll repackage that one, and post that, so the one @jrg has probably won't receive files

Q: How can I bump my question here?

RajaHi is there BUMP feature to up a old question which was not solved ?

 
4:00 AM
@mateo_salta Okay, thanks.
 
@GeorgeEdison , done skydrive.live.com/… @jrg this is a new version, I put the readme and license in the .dmg as well
 
Hello all
 
well its been fun, I'm going to sleep. let me know how things go.
 
@GeorgeEdison Can you use images on the launcher?
 
Like an icon?
 
4:11 AM
Yeah
You need a better icon
 
I just did :)
What kind of icon would you suggest?
 
nice can it pull the icon of the folder its directed to?
 
A cool Networking type icon..
Or rather, you can provide some info there
 
@mateo_salta Unfortunately no.
 
Like to which computer its transferring
 
4:13 AM
@AmithKK Hmm... well eventually that's what will be where the "share box" is now.
You'll be able to have a box for each machine and its name will be there instead.

@AnwarShah That was for the "root password" question. My little tag-sigh :) Feel free to delete, of course.

@izx, i love the idea of creating funny tag. I was sure, you will delete that later.
it can remain for a day or two, but not more, as apparently no one will use them.

creating funny tags is a culpable offense which will only terminate in permanent suspension from the site.

Well, I have been told several times that I can ask questions about Ubuntu development here and about half the site seem to disagree. Make your mind up.

You can ask the questions. But I am not particularly sure why your question got downvoted though.
well, if you are worried, delete your question and reask it again.
