@NathanOsman @Seth I shared a video with you on youtube, need to work on the sound, but that is what I put together for that video contest :)

I saw the notif. A bit busy atm but I'll check in 10 or 20. What video contest though?

oh, there was a phone/scope thing

2 days ago, by Mateo

Hey everyone! Ubuntu Phone Video contest: https://www.userfarm.com/en/call/scopes-your-content-wonderland/1408/description thousands of euros in prizes

oh cool.

Didn't see that.

hi @GeorgetheDev

What time is it? @GeorgetheDev

@Mateo It is currently Thu, 30 Jul 2015 00:30:09 GMT.

12:30 AM

Thanks! @GeorgetheDev

;P

woah, Nathan is away, and he left is bot in here...

Penguin Party!

haha

Can Iguanas join?

sure :)

:D

@Mateo Do you want video feedback here on YouTube?

either way

@Mateo So if I understand the contest right you are creating a short video that tries to describe a scope, so to speak?

12:40 AM

yeah, I think.

I know, it's not worded super well :P

I was thinking about putting the the Today text at the beginning

and I shot the video with the mx4 :)

the end was included assets they had for the project

@Mateo That might be a good idea.

I really like the music choice, brings out the wonder really well, the video is good too but the glare from the sun kind of messes with the exposure and causes some rough edges around the leaves.

Doubt there is anything you can do about that however.

Looks great though!

Is there a time lapse effect going there?

should be realtime, although the frame rate might have done an effect unintentionally

I thought it was nice that I didn't hit so much auto focus problems

@Mateo yeah that was pretty good, it seemed to be in focus the entire time.

@Mateo that must be. Sometimes it's hard to tell with leaves and a slight breeze xD

12:51 AM

yeah, they just float all around :)

Cool, thank you for the input @Seth

Loved the video!

np. Good luck!

hi @NathanOsman

@NathanOsman thanks!

was the audio peaking on your speakers

It took a few minutes to bring it up since I'm just on the edge of cell coverage at the moment.

oh, wait... my laptop is set to allow over 100%...

12:56 AM

I didn't notice any audio issues but I wasn't playing it very loud.

1:45 AM

Man, I really wish Windows had a Alt+` equivalent.

@Fabby you are here? :)

I've seen your edit =)

Yes...

How can I be of service, my lord?

o_O

Which edit?

I'm not a lord

@Fabby askubuntu.com/questions/558679/…

@A.B. It's a joke...

It first said: how can I help?

then I edited it to what it is now... It's So extremely polite, it's an insult!

9:55 AM

Always the same, I need reviews =)

Like if you would ask for a coffee

Hey, you're ranked much higher then me now!

I understand the joke =) :P

Ah!

@Fabby I'm on page 2 now askubuntu.com/users?page=2&tab=reputation&filter=all

@Fabby But I have a lot to thank you =)

Oh!

I owe you a lot.

I'm a page 2 girl too now!

@Fabby a page 2 girl, very nice =)

It'll be a while before we get another @Rinzwind... or Oli or... But it looks like you're on your way there!

@ParanoidPanda Your favorite colour is orange.

:D

@ParanoidPanda What did @NathanOsman say about using the sandbox???

user136984

@NathanOsman: I'm glad you finally fixed that thing with @GeorgetheDev.

user136984

@Fabby: Oh, sorry! :)

user136984

11:16 AM

@Fabby: How do you use quilt to apply a patch to a package by the way? :)

The only quilt I know is a blanket...

(sorry)

user136984

Ok... :D

user136984

Because I've been asked to patch the gnome-shell package with some patches I'm not even too sure how to download... :D

Ask @A.B.: he uses Gnome too...

user136984

11:30 AM

@A.B.: Do you know? :)

user136984

Well, actually it doesn't have to even be somebody who uses Gnome Shell, just somebody who has done packaging and patching. :)

@ParanoidPanda duckduckgo.com/…

user136984

@terdon: Yes, I already found this: wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt However I am now confused about how to git the patches, and how to apply them...

user136984

I've got to apply these three patches: bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752739 To the gnome-shell package, which I have got from apt-get source.

user136984

Any ideas? :)

user136984

11:37 AM

I'm not even too sure how to download them...

user136984

I have done some packaging before...

user136984

But never patching...

That sounds like a great question for the site if we don't have one.

user136984

@terdon: Don't you think that it would be closed as 'too broad'? Because I have a lot of problems, with getting the patches using git, not just patching the package...

In theory (though I know very little about this) what is applied is the diff. One of the main jobs of diff is doing this sort of thing. So, just click on the patch name in the link you posted and then follow the guide in the other link you posted to apply.

11:40 AM

@ParanoidPanda what? =)

@ParanoidPanda Why git? Just download them manually from the bug site

user136984

@terdon: The problem is, I'm not sure how...

user136984

Or what file format to save them in...

user136984

And what format to download them in...

user136984

Which page do I go to? Diff? Details? Do I copy and paste into a file? Or what?

11:42 AM

@ParanoidPanda Just click on the patch's name and save it as a text file.

Why would anyone downvote this???

@Fabby maybe opinion based: "is the best application to show how disk space is distributed in the entire system. " =)

Changed! :)

Thanks!

user136984

@terdon: Just as a txt file? Nothing special?

Patch files are always text files I believe

11:52 AM

Another down-vote! WTF is wrong today???

Maybe it's because I'm wearing a tie as I have to go to a job interview!!!

:D

@ParanoidPanda No, nothing special.

user136984

@terdon: This is the first file: bug752739.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/…

@Fabby Next time, wear something that doesn't look like a down arrow.

get reset to next until the next question asked by pam.

user136984

11:54 AM

At the beginning?

@terdon :D Good one!

@ParanoidPanda Yes, I saw. As I said, I don't really know how to do this either. Try it. First with the whole thing, then without the header. Ideally, read up on this first. There are loads of guides out there.

user136984

@A.B.: Do you know if I include the header? :)

@ParanoidPanda sorry, I understand nothing, which header?

@terdon I could just wear my tie around my head and take a selfie and post it here, but I'll refrain from doing so... ;-)

Do I exclude that too @A.B.? :)

no

call it foo or bar or foobar or foo.bar or …

yes

@A.B.: So when you get back, how do I apply these patches? What do I do with them? :D

Where is the js/gdm/authPrompt.js?

12:14 PM

@A.B. @ParanoidPanda one for you guys?

user136984

@A.B.: I can't find it in my system... :D But if you run apt-get source gnome-shell, you get it.

user136984

Is that a bad sign that we can't find it?

Hmm, I assume you have to start your compiler after that.

But it's JavaScript o_O

So what do I do to apply the patches?

user136984

I assume I use quilt...

But how? :)

what is quilt?

@ParanoidPanda Use patch.

user136984

@A.B.: What I've been told to do it with: wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt

Maybe quilt is easier, I don't know. The classic too is patch.

user136984

@terdon: Ok, so how do I use that?

12:21 PM

I agree with @terdon

[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword in title: Shifting and Storage services Provided by Packers and Movers Agencies by sara sharma on askubuntu.com

@ParanoidPanda I don't know. patch file.patch file.orig I think. Just go read a turorial.

user136984

Ok, I'll use patch, it doesn't really make a difference to me what I use, just if I can learn how to use it.

go in the parent folder of js/gdm/authPrompt.js

and start patch < your_patch_file

user136984

I have 3 patch files, so do I do them one by one?

12:23 PM

eg go into foo if the path is foo/js/gdm/authPrompt.js

yes

the oldest patch first

user136984

Ok, I am there.

user136984

So I just do patch < mypatch for each of the files?

yes

user136984

I am not sure which one was the oldest...

user136984

12:27 PM

@ParanoidPanda Look at this line in the files: index a5c6862..6e5c79f 100644

@A.B.

First this index 88d11d7..a5c6862 100644

than this index a5c6862..6e5c79f 100644

and this index 6e5c79f..b57b00b 100644

That's the order

user136984

Ok, thanks! :)

user136984

Ok, I magically had them already numbered in that order! :D

user136984

@A.B.: So what do I run for each? :)

user136984

12:33 PM

I have patch1, patch2, and patch3 all in order of which is oldest (oldest = 1).

user136984

And I am doing this for the authPrompt.js that I got from apt-get source gnome-shell right? :)

user136984

12:45 PM

@A.B.: Do I just run patch < patch1 and then give it the file patch to authPrompt.js? :)

@ParanoidPanda the filename comes from the patch file

1:16 PM

@A.B.: I get this:

user136984

can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:

user136984

So what do I do? :)

hmm, there is an a and a b in the path

user136984

Are they real?

user136984

Because I can't find them...

1:20 PM

As you've downloaded the source code?

user136984

@A.B.: I have downloaded it with apt-get source gnome-shell. And I can't even find all this in my system... And I should have the same version...

@ParanoidPanda the patch doesn't works. I have tried it in the folder gnome-shell-3.14.4/js/gdm`

the output is

patching file authPrompt.js
Hunk #1 FAILED at 405.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file authPrompt.js.rej

user136984

So what should I do?

let me see

change the code by hand. It's only one line per patch

user136984

So what do I need to change? Just the file path?

1:28 PM

Add the lines with + in front and remove the lines with -

maybe you should use the Git version and not the apt-get source version

user136984

Where is the git version?

user136984

I've been trying to locate that...

user136984

Unsuccessfully though...

@ParanoidPanda github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/tree/gnome-3-14

user136984

Ah... So I then just make changes and commit or what?

1:31 PM

github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/archive/gnome-3-14.zip

user136984

Am I still patching the same way?

no, go into the folder gnome-shell-3.14.4/js/gdm and place the patch here

after that patch again with patch < yourpatchfile

No, same error

o_O

user136984

I have cloned: github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell.git

user136984

If that was the right thing to clone...

=)

user136984

1:35 PM

So what is wrong?

no idea currently

user136984

Is there another way we could try?

maybe it's the best to make the changes via an editor

open the original file

and add the lines from the patch marked with a + in front and remove the lines marked with a - in front

user136984

So instead of using a patch I should just make those changes manually?

yes

user136984

1:37 PM

Is that just the manual way of doing what the patching would have done?

user136984

Same result, more work?

user136984

:D

yes

user136984

@A.B.: Ok, I have made all the manual changes, now what? :)

in the git version?

user136984

1:45 PM

Yes

user136984

When do I package it? Or do I not?

user136984

Apparently I need to upload it to a PPA to verify that it is working...

maybe you should use the apt-get source version for your changes. I assume, you have cloned the 3.16 version

user136984

Ah, no, wait!

user136984

I didn't do it to the git version, I got confused, and did it to the apt-get source version! :D

user136984

1:48 PM

So that is definitely the right version. :)

user136984

@A.B.: So now what?

Does Virtualbox support MIPS?

user136984

@A.B.: Do I need to package the whole thing up now then? :)

@ParanoidPanda yes, you have to build a package
