Q: Renaming the current directory from a shell - possible?

12:20 AM

I got curious:

Is it possible to rename the current working directory from within a shell (Bash in my particular case)? If I attempt to do this the straightforward way, I end up with an error: nathan@nathan-desktop:/tmp/test$ mv . test2 mv: cannot move ‘.’ to ‘test2’: Device or resource busy Is there another...

Q: Ubuntu experience on a Chromebook

So I want to buy a cheap laptop, just to code and I need Ubuntu for that. So I thought about Chromebooks, but some questions came to my mind: 1. Which methods are available to install ubuntu on a chromebook? 2. Is it just a virtual machine or a full installation?, therefore, is it able t...

ubuntu kubuntu chrome-book

1:16 AM

@AskUbuntuMeta Yikes! I am double checking all my AU URLs now D:

huh, chromium is messed up on my pi2... I'll try a new image and see if it fixes it

1:32 AM

Fedora is lightyears ahead of Ubuntu in providing packages with cross-compiled builds of popular open-source libraries for Windows.

I'm installing a cross-compiled static build of Qt now.

yeah, they are usually on the edge of things

was a bit too bleeding edge for me as a desktop user

ah man, just formated an sd card... pi2 has microsd

o/ @hbdgaf how goes things

You mean with systemd? :P

@Mateo Well, we're through inventory... and we frontloaded so many hours trying to get ready - now they're all "just stay home". Makes you wonder why you tried so hard to get ready...

@NathanOsman I just called Fedora - RHEL community alpha/bug troubleshooting edition

hmm, inventory

@hbdgaf Lol. That sounds eerily accurate.

1:44 AM

yeah, I was on fedora from v4-9

then moved over to ubuntu around 9.04

fedora 8 I liked a lot

@Mateo upside, we showed a 7% reduction in shrink. only the second store in the region to post a reduction in shrink this year. downside, it's still early and the year - and it was sort of flat in relation to sales.

morning fellows

o/ @Lucio

nice, finding stuff is good

not as good as it being out there and selling... but good

Why the git package depends on perl I'll never know.

1:47 AM

maybe for regular expressions?

Ah, good idea.

That would make sense.

@Mateo Yeah. The RGIS regional mgr guy was like "We're going to count half a million less in product this year than last." - Hourly RGIS guy "Damn. We'll be out of here by 2." - Me "You can expect that trend to continue. There's a lot of pressure to stay out of the back room from our current store mgr. Upside less product to count. Downside - you're scared to order"

Have somebody managed to get into the answer here? I'm still scrolling..

our local wallyworld was a mess last I went

Ours is pretty clean/tight. In-stock is suffering a little, but it's all pretty neat.

1:54 AM

@Lucio edit approved ;)

and community won one more time :)

ok, let's try snappy!

I hate to do this but is truthful. A "whatever please help me!" title got several views in a matter of seconds. Not mentioning the nice comments with emoticons on it.

Seriously? how can I fix that? — Duckey 46 mins ago

That is when the OP got close votes. He should have said "seriously please help me!".

ooh, this is cool, dual system partitions:

Does anyone know if there is a way to divide a square in half in Inkscape?

I can't seem to figure out how to divide it perfectly in half

2:04 AM

@Lucio The OP can't see close votes, so they don't even know about that..

Also, \o

But with the lines connected to the midpoints on the sides of the square/diamond

@RPiAwesomeness I wonder if that would be on-topic on Graphic Design...

This will be neat for a question sometime if anyone wants to play with it.

@Seth Probably

@RPiAwesomeness I'm impressed by your technique.

2:05 AM

@Lucio :D

@Seth hi Seth!

@NathanOsman Does NitroShare not run on Windows 10?

'cause having Windows XP screenshots on your site ... isn't exactly up to date and wouldn't make me feel like the software is up to date and modern...

smacktls.com

and he comes another month where we can talk about OpenSSL flaws :S

@hbdgaf we need that on the offices.

I have discovered that streaming music via Spotify takes up at least 70 kB/s

@RPiAwesomeness did chromium and youtube work on your pi2?

2:16 AM

@hbdgaf do you remember our talk about dumplings?

I think so, why?

I'm missing one important word in my cooking dictionary

And what word is that?

The dumpling has seals. According the stuff will the style of the seal change.

How do you call the thing that makes the seal exist?

In Spanish this is "masa"

Ahh, yeah. That's different than what americans call dumplings. Let me check.

2:21 AM

The only thing that you see from the outside when you didn't started eaten them

Do you mean dough?

oh, that sounds feasible

yep

See if this sounds right chow.com/recipes/28052-basic-dumpling-dough

@Lucio Did I tell you I want to try out Japanese style omelettes, but I have to buy a rectangular pan to do so...

A new word from that article, master. "Mastering a dumplings for this nigh" :P

@hbdgaf no, tell me about it

Crockpot slow-cooked carmelized bell peppers and onions in fat rendered from bacon. The onion pepper mixture rolled in to the Japanese style omelette. The omelette sliced diagonally as you would sashimi or sushi salmon. The rings arranged like a pinwheel. Topped with a bit of bacon jam (diluted to make it more of a fluid). Served in a ring of home fries. Should be interesting eventually. Just had to write down an awesome breakfast idea. I, at least, think it would be delicious.

2:24 AM

you type fast

I had it copied from somewhere else

This is the style of omelette: youtube.com/watch?v=8TW-4Pv3U3Y

The way I saw it prepared was more of a roll though.

@RPiAwesomeness: those screenshots aren't final.

It does run on Windows 10.

(I verified this myself.)

intresting:

so no real gui on the snappy device

What Is Software Testing? Hilarious Hyderabad Trainer.. must watch

Say, I think @hbdgaf and @Lucio might get a kick out of this:

►

@Mateo Wait, it has a gui? I just assumed it was all cli..

@Seth Repeat after me: He has started a cult.

2:33 AM

@Seth a web interface

@hbdgaf hahahahaha! That's good!

@Mateo Really? I wonder how that works..

which is cool, has a few mwc demos on it

Might work well for kiosk..

so you set up your device, put it in a closet somewhere, and just hook it up via the web

ooo, just what I needed ;)

So much for a static build:

2:37 AM

@Mateo neat!

@NathanOsman The case of the missing DLL!

There shouldn't be any missing in a static build :|

So obviously it isn't using the static .a files.

Maybe one of the extensions you're using isn't compatible with a static build and tries to do a DllLoad no matter what?

@hbdgaf sweet!

@Seth I'm taking this as my background daily track. 8 hours repeating those 8 mins.

Are you getting my point or not?

@hbdgaf This is on Fedora, so who knows what manner of trickery is going on here.

(Obviously by that I meant they were built on Fedora. The screenshot is from my XP VM.)

@hbdgaf you are making me harm. Can't take rolls out of my head after my last travel.

the video has finished and the dude was still predicating

2:46 AM

I stopped watching after people started chanting what he said.

Had too much of a Jim Jones vibe for me.

don't know that guy.

hey, one more food question

kk

Feb 24 at 3:13, by Lucio

how do you call the type of this food?

you were absent that day :(

I have no earthly idea what to call that. The presentation is good though.

ROTFL

2:49 AM

Maybe a stuffed bread?

lol nop

You can call it embutido. :)

word added to my mental rolodex of food.

@hbdgaf that is usually something that you take for diner

Yeah, after seeing the recipe it's totally not a bread. It's an odd shaped meatloaf.

I don't know if I want to listen to classical or basshunter... weird place to be I guess.

@NathanOsman If you figure out what witchery is at work, it might be interesting to hear about.

@hbdgaf it is not something that you will buy somewhere. The best possible way to get it is to making them yourself, or going to a relative house ;)

2:54 AM

I think on Fedora, both the static and shared Qt libs are present, so it just uses the shared ones by default.

And about music, I been using spotify lately.

Definitely. Did you see Oli (aka the one who shall not be pinged)'s DIY sous-vide?

@Lucio I don't even spotify. I find youtube playlists and toggle around or whatever on trntbl.me

"The one who shall not be pinged?" Challenge accepted. @Oli

You know what I meant...

@hbdgaf in desktop hell yeah. for a mobile that is not even an option :/

2:57 AM

@hbdgaf mmm, I tired out the recipe he linked

how'ld it go? i'm thinking of getting a hot-plate and a thick walled pot i put on CVP a while ago just to try it as a cooking style. I can't rig my stove that way though, since it's gas.

@NathanOsman you just edited it, so you ping hammered him...

I get REALLY irritable when people do that to me.

o/ @Chan-HoSuh

huh, cool. desktop in a browser:

Is that unity3d running that? I know the sencha team did a thin desktop in JS, but I didn't expect the unity team to do that.

lol

Chan-Ho Suh

\o @hbdgaf

3:08 AM

can you imagine a whole GNU like platform built on js

every time i do, the irrational typing engine makes me cry a little.

Chan-Ho Suh

the popularity of Javascript nowadays is amazing

closing eyes. time to sleep

good night fellows

night @Lucio - be back soon.

and thanks for increase the dictionary Andrew :)

3:22 AM

np

4:03 AM

@hbdgaf I think it was just js, that is within a browser on another computer that is connected to the pi

@hbdgaf it turned out really good, but I had it easy since we have a convection oven, just got the water up to temp and it was good to go.

nuked the accounts

I'll report the posts to the smoke detector folks so the regex can be updated.

Which Fedora package provides libstdc++.so.6?

Wrong room :P

5

:P

@NathanOsman It looks like compat-libstdc++-33 provides the .5 version.. Maybe something similar for .6?

I'm suer yum has some kind of search function that would help you find it.

Apparently it was the libstdc++ package.

I'm so used to Ubuntu packages having the major version number at the end :P

4:57 AM

aha pkgs.org/fedora-22/fedora-i386/…

@NathanOsman yeah ;P

Still getting errors. Have to build CMake 3.2 myself I guess.

And yum doesn't even cache packages! I sure miss my Ubuntu :(
