I just noticed that with Stack Overflow's tags many of the tags have nice fancy icons: Wondering if we could get some tag bling as well? Certainly some of the browsers/top programs may benefit from this, maybe we could make a short list of some that would benefit. I'm thinking things like Xubu...

Any ideas?

@Mateo Whoa, is that the new silence in the latest Doctor Who? They look a good deal scarier!

@Rinzwind tsk >:D

@Mateo, thanks for sharing.

@Seth the ood

Erg spell correct...

So... hopefully they fast track the change, If you watched this: ubuntuonair.com there was something about a chromium question that had them saying something about "paperwork" and they couldn't say anything about it

Seth

1:45 AM

@Mateo oh, you're right. For some reason I thought the silence had tentacles, but I guess not.

Mateo

they had the long fingers, but I think they eyes looked similar

hm, maybe not quite

ok, that is a creepy face...

Q: How to make Intel fake RAID 0 volume appear on boot with Ubuntu 14.04 in a multi-boot environment?

I have a computer with a Gigabyte GA-Z97N-Gaming 5 mainboard, a 256 GB drive for booting and two 3 TB drives meant to use in a RAID 0 setup with both ext4 and NTFS partitions. We are planning running Xubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8.1 on it. Using dmraid seemed to limit the RAID volume size to 1.5 TB...

Q: How can I effectively purge a manually installed package?

I installed SBCL 1.2.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 by downloading sbcl-1.2.3-x86-64-linux-binary.tar.bz2, and running sudo bash install.sh However, I was curious about how I would be able to uninstall it? It has no Makefile (as it is not a source archive), so make uninstall or anything similar would be i...

@terdon Hi!

I tried your solution, but it doesn't work. :/

Text files are still opened with gEdit.

terdon

@IonicăBizău Hey! It didn't? That's strange, I tried it and it did.

Ionică Bizău

Ok, I will try again.

terdon

@IonicăBizău Well yeah, your script calls gedit, what did you expect? Add a line like echo foo > /tmp/bar to your script and you'll see that it's running.

Ionică Bizău

@terdon Well, actually I made my own editor. :-) That was just an example.

My script is jsubl.

Running jsubl script.js is opened.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=jsubl
Exec=/usr/bin/jsubl %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=text/plain;

This is what I have in /usr/share/applications/jsubl.desktop

terdon

@IonicăBizău OK, and did you change the mimetype default?

Ionică Bizău

2:23 PM

Yes

xdg-mime default /usr/share/application/jsubl.desktop "text/plain"

terdon

And are you sure you tried it on a file that's "text/plain"? Check with xdg-mime query filetype FILE

Ionică Bizău

Ah, you're right! :-)

Awesome.

terdon

Cool! :)

You can add more mimetypes to the .desktop file. For example, this is my emacs':

Ionică Bizău

But I need to open all text files, defining text everything that is readable by simply reading the content.

terdon

MimeType=text/english;text/plain;text/x-makefile;text/x-c++hdr;text/x-c++src;text/x-chdr;text/x-csrc;text/x-java;text/x-moc;text/x-pascal;text/x-tcl;text/x-tex;application/x-shellscript;text/x-c;text/x-c++;

Ionică Bizău

2:28 PM

Also application/javascript.

terdon

Just add whichever ones you want to the MimeType line.

Ionică Bizău

But how to detect all?

For example, how does gedit know what files to open?

terdon

@IonicăBizău It probably has the various mimetypes defined. I don't know since that's not my default editor.

Ionică Bizău

How to list them?

terdon

I would just copy the line I pasted from my emacs.desktop and then whenever you find a file that did not open correctly, manually add its mimetype. You'll get them all eventually.

@IonicăBizău What do you mean?

Ionică Bizău

2:34 PM

You said It probably has the various mimetypes defined. and I want to know if it's possible to list them

terdon

@IonicăBizău grep MimeType /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop

Ionică Bizău

MimeType=text/plain;

terdon

@IonicăBizău Yeah, same here.

Dunno, just add the extra mimetypes, that should work.

Ionică Bizău

Yep. :-) I will try the dirty solution also

I like more the second solution. :-) Thanks!

terdon

Dirty :(

:P

Seth

2:40 PM

I need to resize my partition..

Ionică Bizău

@terdon Yep, but that's actually what I need and it's very simple.

Probably after packaging my editor as application, the user can set it as default app.

soooo I've fucked up

wasn't paying attention and started dd'ing a drive to my pc.

problem is the drive was larger than the space I have left on my pc

ran out of space, now ubuntu won't let me empty the recycle bin (remove the image) so I rebooted, not it's sitting on the login screen not letting me login

( I attempt to login, and the login box disappears like it should, but Unity never comes up )

Whaaaaaat

you were imaging?

Meaning, was it like dd if=/dev/sdN of=/path/to/file.img ?
