yeah, no, I prefer unclear since that Q lacks information. We should stop babysitting people duplicating stuff since it causes more problem than solutions @hbdgaf google.com/…
or could be he's typing the wrong password, or trying to connect to the wrong AP, or his wireless card having problems with WPA, or <put another reason here>
@terdon yeah. it was for a question here about plymouth not supporting animated gifs instead of pngs... to which my answer was "No. You can't". And Mateo suggested a five dollar app or whatever... so here we go.
I will hate this change. That's all I have to say. I agree with @MonicaCellio, this, like the recent closing changes (with regard to TL at least), was made to circumvent a problem, not fix it. That's not good. The 10k flag tool is quite useful on some of the medium sites, it really does help prioritize. I'm really sick of you removing whole features just because they don't work on SO. Stack Overflow is the exception, not the rule! — Seth2 mins ago
bleh.
@Braiam /me thinks that might be a good idea, but removing the flag queue is a bad idea IMO.
I also think showing the 10k flag queue to the 10k users helps the site in other ways, it gives them a good bird eyes view of what happens on the site and I do find the invalid flags useful (not to mention it's easier to decide if 5 other 10/20k users also agree with you on a flag)
Anyway, got to run again. Like Shog suggested, I'll add an answer to that post later and link it here.
I'm sure most of you have seen these "Babaji" posts around AU or the internet. My question is:
Why is there no filter to autodelete Babaji?
Pros:
Moderators won't spend so much time/effort on combating this
Users use less flags
Nobody ever sees spam, increasing overall quality of site

I am running my shell script on machineA which copies the files from machineB and machineC to machineA.
If the file is not there in machineB, then it should be there in machineC for sure. So I will try to copy from machineB first, if it is not there in machineB then I will go to machineC to copy...
You should use ./ (current dir) prefix when you execute a script:
cd /home/myname/Music/iTunesToRhythm-master/
./iTunesToRhythm.py -w -a /path/to/iTunes\ Music\ Library.xml ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml
or
./iTunesToRhythm.py -w -a "/path/to/iTunes Music Library.xml" ~/.local/share/rh...
ok i am trying to use the iTunesToRhythm script which can be found here: https://github.com/esalgado/iTunesToRhythm seems pretty stright forward, but i am getting an error
Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -c, --confirm confirm every match -w, --writechanges write changes to destination file -a, --disambiguate prompt user to resolve ambiguities -l, --fastandloose ignore differences in files name when a file size
input was : fiver@LALA-LAND:~/Music/iTunesToRhythm-master$ ./iTunesToRhythm.py -w -a /media/MEDIA 1/SOUNDS/I Tunes/lybrary.xml ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml
if ls -l /media/MEDIA\ 1/SOUNDS/I\ Tunes/Library.xml returns a result and ls -l ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml also returns a result then something is wrong with the script - suggest raise an issue on the github project
@KalamalkaKid Ubuntu is not hard. It is different and you are not used to some things fossy and me take for granted ;-) (like Ubuntu being case sensitive (windows is not)) and how to look at errors (that windows hides from you)).
Just stick to it :D it took me 1/2 a year to get the hang of it all (and I had prior experience with xenix and unix :D )
and I do not know if you rememeber it yourself but windows did not come to you immediatly too. That will also have had you run around in circles
its frustrating when develkopes dont do commonsense things like keep the home button and up button in the nautilus and people like me who are new spend 5 hours trying to figure that stuff out, just like this, i have wasted another 6-7 hours trying to figure out how to load a playlist file, which should be as easy as anything.
There are no straight answers for any of it online. Go google it yourself, you will see how ambiguous it is. There is NO media player for ubuntu that simply lets you import a XML file
thats redicujous
sorry i am nto aiming htis at you, please dont take it personally, but its jsut laugahble how counter intuitive so much of it is
Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -c, --confirm confirm every match -w, --writechanges write changes to destination file -a, --disambiguate prompt user to resolve ambiguities -l, --fastandloose ignore differences in files name when a file size match is made against a single song. Will not resolve multiple matches --noplaycounts do not update play counts
@KalamalkaKid "an XML file" isn't a format, it's just a markup language that allows you to store all sorts of formats... And yes, there are lots of players that will import other libraries. Banshee and Amarok even have built-in imports for iTunes.
is there anyway someone could help me with this> http://www.njamin.org/blog/tutorials/import-itunes-library-into-rhythmbox-ratings-and-playcounts-included-121.php
? just use the export playlists function in itunes as a m3u file and then import that in rhythmbox - just need to remember to change the windows paths to linux path names
is it safe to rename my main media drive (at this point its a fairly new intallation so Im not worried about anything that points to files) currently the name is MEDIA 1 and that space is going to cause headaches. Is it easy to rename?
sounds fairly interesting - might look at this sometime to create a rhythmbox plugin to do just this, if there isnt already something similar out there.
remember - developers are people as well. Stuff doesnt get created unless someone has an interest and is willing to write stuff. Stuff doesnt get written out of thin-air.
@ Dan this seems to look promising, but there doesnt seem to be much doucmentation or instructions. Its hard for someone liek me who doenst know much about UBUNTU
sudfiver@LALA-LAND:~$ cd /media/MEDIA 1/SOUNDS/itunes bash: cd: /media/MEDIA: No such file or directory fiver@LALA-LAND:~$ cd/media/MEDIA 1/SOUNDS/itunes bash: cd/media/MEDIA: No such file or directory fiver@LALA-LAND:~$
and you ranted about Ubuntu a while back but I have to say that you do not read what is posted. That to me seems to indicate Ubuntu is the probleme here.
Would it be a good idea to install 14.04 as a fresh install when it is released? My installation has been the same sine 10.10 (My /home is on a separate partition, so I theoretically wouldn't lose anything)
@Dan that depends on you and if you are desperately need a cleanup and remove cruft. If it works - why bother - just backup what you have and then upgrade.
@Oli I found one of your old comment where you have said "When you want to challenge a password you just subject it to the same hashing algorithm and if the hashes match, the passwords are 99.9999999% likely to be the same." It's not 100%, does this mean that two passwords can have same hash?
I'm not sure how likely it is but you could run every [a-zA-Z0-9@_-+=!£$] combination for 1-10 characters through md5sum and then do a sort | uniq -c on that. Probably wouldn't even take that long on modern hardware.
(you might want to add a few more characters but I'd stop short of using everything... people are pretty boring)
I need to monitor 2 servers' (Ubuntu and CentOS) CPU usage by users. For example:
user1 5%
user2 10%

Is there a tool similar to top or htop that can do that?
Thanks.
@MinatoNamikaze I think Malaysian govt is hiding something, and US govt knows something about the plane they don't want people to know.If not, why did us called there destroyers back from the mission?
I'm looking for an advanced torrent client for Android with the following features:

I've searched a lot, but all the torrent...
I cloned the git repository of xbindkeys using:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/xbindkeys.git
I want to compile it. How can I do this? Where can I find the compile instructions?
What are the dependencies?
I have write a website,what confused me is when i run the website,first i need start the the app,
so there are 3 ways:
sudo python xxx.py
python xxx.py
xxx.py
I didn't clear with how to use each of them,the NO.3 method currently in my computer dosen't work well
@Rinzwind Thanks... I guess confusion is clear.... We can still execute apt-get without using sudo.. That executes and shows us the help text... To run apt-get update/upgrade/whatever we need superuser permission... apt-get itself doesn't need superuser permission... Similar is the case with python.. We can use it and execute it without being sudo... Right?
@Rinzwind I could give you a really boring answer to that. It would send all of us to sleep and that might be dangerous (some of you might be operating cranes, driving ambulances or even running with scissors). For the sake of public health, let's just pretend that unicorns invented compilers.
@Utkarsh Because Amith's been annoying us for a lot longer than you have. Through his contributions to chat, he has unofficially earnt the privilege to delete the occasional silly message. You'll note he hasn't deleted an entire page of messages, just the one. So pipe down.

Actually Babaji successfully advertises even though we delete his posts.Because they are always available on google search.search for babaji askubuntu and you can see his number everywhere.
@Oli On 17 March, 8PM (IST) ago, I deleted one of my message which told about a wiki page about holi and then removed it beacuse i don't wanted to seed that off topic message in the transcript. then, second message i deleted because fossfreedom had changed the topic. They were just two! and you suspended me for 4 hours? I didn't got a warning even on that week too
It seems I can shutdown using sudo shutdown by specifying a time or minutes.
Is there a way to specify datetime for shutdown?
