Zanna

parsing html with regex?

Anwar

^beautiful. what does it say?

Kaz Wolfe

no, reading from the Forum Necronomicon again.

every forum mod has a copy :D

Serg

that just says Trump sucks in demonic

Kaz Wolfe

7:15 AM

no, that's easier.

like, a lot easier

do you want me to translate it?

Serg

also, anybody want an extra rep ? remember that filesystem usage indicator ? well, there's another indicator that has been created, it's on omgubuntu. Feel free to take advantage of it and post an answer

Kaz Wolfe

but i already gave a bounty to you for it

Anwar

feeling lazy

Serg

Not my indicator

Anwar

wait...bounty question?

Serg

7:18 AM

haha

Zanna

I don't like to get rep for others' work

Kaz Wolfe

@Anwar lol

Serg

@Anwar motivated all of a sudden ?

Kaz Wolfe

that got your attention fast

Serg

that cracked me up

Anwar

7:19 AM

@Serg yeah :)

Serg

no, the indicator is by another dev, it's written in vala, and was reviewed on omgubuntu

also, yay, i got my -1 back from 2 year old spam answer

Kaz Wolfe

(seriously, i'm fluent in both New Satanic and Old Satanic so... i can translate)

Zanna

@Serg haha awesome

Serg

ok, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow there's exam, so . . . keep the fingers crossed for me guys

Zanna

I keep trying to get my rep to be a round number by giving one downvote, but they keep coming back ^_^ better do something else to change it...

@Serg best of luck!

Kaz Wolfe

7:21 AM

@Zanna downvote one of my answers

it won't disappear any time soon.

Zanna

@KazWolfe nah I don't think they deserve it

Kaz Wolfe

but you'll make this wolf sad so.....

you can accept answers and get strategic upvotes

Zanna

it has to be a judicious downvote

I can also do tag wiki edits... gonna do that

If I get 4 points that would fix it

Kaz Wolfe

i'll go wait in the review board

Anwar

don't look at reps too much ... lol

Serg

7:23 AM

downvotes dont make me sad anymore, just curious why

Anwar

don't even want to know 'why' :)

Zanna

@Anwar hahaha yeah I stopped looking much a while ago really, just laughing how that +1 keeps coming :) I want to edit tag wikis anyway

also I like to go and nuke the random new tags...

Kaz Wolfe

gah, i keep forgetting i don't have a good voice ;-;

Anwar

I downloaded a new telegu font but still blocks in npp!!

Kaz Wolfe

but i want to do covers of songs ;-;

Zanna

7:27 AM

@Anwar I wonder if it helps to install language and generate a locale for it :S

Anwar

hmm. but kaz can view it in npp

Serg

Aaaand the updates to my udisks-indicator are there, now you can unmount stuff

and on that glorious note, bye

Anwar

yeah. It's working

but the answer is totally about using npp!

Zanna

what's working?

Edity

back

Anwar

7:35 AM

telegu font in npp

@Edity now go back :)

Zanna

oh what did you do?

Anwar

nothing. I thought the string i was inputting was not proper phonetic. used another option and it works. Or May be it's because I changed the font and restart the npp.

Let me retest

first one

Edity

@Anwar .......

Goodnight everyone

shutdown -h now

Anwar

@Edity night

Kaz Wolfe

holy crap a good mic makes so much difference for recording

Anwar

7:48 AM

what are you recording?

Kaz Wolfe

just voice samples

working on some voice acting for a couple pet projects

Anwar

oh.

Nathan Osman

Lol. One user who is incredibly frustrated with GNOME developers: "LibreGNOME anyone? Eh, eh?"

Go for it buddy!

SmokeDetector

@Anwar seen your answer now!

Rinzwind

8:01 AM

@NathanOsman bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650371#c57 O The only sensible comment in the whole thread up to there

Serg

9:52 AM

worst day to have insomnia

duck

also mobile ui completely bugged out

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Mostly non-Latin answer, non-English link in answer, non-Latin link in answer: How to to use gcc with LAPACK and external header file? by Mohamed Sameer on askubuntu.com

Serg

maybe mods can forward this to site devs ?

terdon

@Serg They'll just ask us to post a bug report on meta.

Serg

k ....

:33135489

why i could not write just now ?

what, the whole mobile SE is buggy now ?

also, bug report is on meta

wait, i think it's chrome problem

Q: Mobile site UI buggy

Basically the text of top menu and tags is outside its supposed placement. Browser: chrome Device: OnePlus Two

Zanna

Isn't that more for MSE than AU meta?

terdon

@Zanna Could be but the SE devs check child metas with bug and some others.

jokerdino

Holy big image batman.

Use i.stack.imgur.com/mLcoRl.png please.

Rinzwind

@Serg that's 1 big ass pixs :P

terdon

@Serg I fixed that for you

Rinzwind

10:18 AM

terdy! :=)

jokerdino

m is too small. Use ell

terdon

Pro tip for those unaware of it: you can add an m, l or s to the end of an imgur image (just before the extension so that foo.png becomes foom.png) to get medium, large and small image sizes respectively.

3

@jokerdino Fair enough. Done

jokerdino

Thanks.

terdon

Why do we have both bug and bug-reports? Should we just delete bug-reports or is there some distinction I'm missing?

jokerdino

bug-reports is about the bugs that get asked in the main site.

Rinzwind

10:22 AM

a bug is not a bug-report :=D
and a bug-report contains a bug

terdon

@jokerdino Ah!

OK, so I'll remove that one from Serg's, uhm, bug report.

Rinzwind

LOL

3 people here did not spot the obvious answer: askubuntu.com/questions/840878/… :P

hey that was not an invite to upvote :(

blade19899

@Rinzwind To bad. You still got one!

Rinzwind

<3

you all must hate Oli :D :D

Serg

i think chrome devs screwed something up

other sites are distorted for me too

@terdon thanks for edits and tips

terdon

10:42 AM

np

Serg

even reboot didn't help . . .

Zacharee1

10:56 AM

Brr it's cold

Kind of wish my phone still had TouchWiz so I could use it as a heater

Zanna

@terdon ah thanks :) That's good to know

terdon

@Zacharee1 accuweather.com/en/gr/athens/182536/weather-forecast/182536

22 degrees Celsius. . .

(72 F)

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda :) :) :)

Zacharee1

11:17 AM

@terdon eeeeeeeevilllllll

terdon

>:)

Zacharee1

It's -1 here :(

terdon

@Zacharee1 I'd ask if you mean C or F but either way, that's way too cold for October!

Poor you!

Zacharee1

Assume C

My phone's in Spanish and AccuWeather is in Celsius

terdon

@Zacharee1 Menos mal.

Zacharee1

11:22 AM

@terdon sí, pero no es bueno

terdon

No. That's still bloody freezing. Worse, even! What do you get in January then? -20?

Zacharee1

This is really cold

Last December it was like 18.

Carried through to Jan and Feb

Fabby

Back to work: lunch break over.

Rinzwind

11:47 AM

who is the regex/sed expert?

I want this ->

added in front of this

<table:named-expressions/>

Serg

12:07 PM

you want arrow in front ?

sed 's/^
<table:named-expressions\/>/->
<table:named-expressions\/>/g'

typed out on mobile so probably incorrect

Zanna

12:25 PM

@Rinzwind sed 's#<table:named-expressions/>#->&#'

use a different separator so you don't need to escape /

Rinzwind

<table:table-row table:style-name="ro1">
<table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"><text:p>a2a2a2</text:p>
</table:table-cell><table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string">
<text:p>b2b2b2</text:p>
</table:table-cell></table:table-row>

@Serg it was waiting for a retry :X

@Zanna retry it >:-)

Trying this now ->

sed 's#<table:named-expressions/>#<table:table-row table:style-name="ro1"><table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"><text:p>a2a2a2</text:p></table:table-cell><table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"><text:p>b2b2b2</text:p></table:table-cell></table:table-row>&#'

what is the &? @Zanna

Zanna

the & is the pattern that was matched before

replace with itself

I only added ->, apart from that you want the pattern from the search

Rinzwind

it does get added to the file

but the ods when zipped does not show it when opend :(

darn it

YES GOT IT

Zanna

12:46 PM

oh it's that question... wow I didn't think that was gonna be possible... awesome...

Rinzwind

hehehehe

I bet it wont attract that many upvotes compared to the time spent on it

Zanna

1:01 PM

@Rinzwind there you go...

Rinzwind

<3

terdon

@Rinzwind next time, just do sed '/<table:named-expressions\/>/s/^/->/

That's /foo/s/foo/bar/ so, "substitute foo with bar on lines matching foo"

Zanna

aha find this line and substitute start-of-line with thing-you-want-to-prepend... but I didn't know what he wanted to match was at the start of the line

Rinzwind

@terdon reread the q... I did not want a > ... I want thatwhole text underneath

terdon

> who is the regex/sed expert?
I want this ->
added in front of this
<table:named-expressions/>

That's what I was answering.

Rinzwind

1:15 PM

@terdon in my screen there is a shitload of xml in between ;-)

terdon

But my approach assumes that the target string is at the beginning of the line.

Rinzwind

--->>> sed 's#</table:table><table:named-expressions/>#<table:table-row table:style-name="ro1"><table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"><text:p>a3a3a3</text:p></table:table-cell><table:tab‌le-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"><text:p>b3b3b3</text:p></table:table-cell></table:ta‌ble-row>&#' content.xml > content2.xml

is what it needed to be:D

the xml I posted in the q got mangled :X

terdon

Ah!

If I were you, I'd use variables to make it more readable:

$ cat file
</table:table><table:named-expressions/>
$ from="</table:table><table:named-expressions/>"
$ to="<table:table-row table:style-name="ro1"><table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"><text:p>a3a3a3</text:p></table:table-cell><table:tab‌le-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"><text:p>b3b3b3</text:p></table:table-cell></table:ta‌ble-row>"
$ sed "s#$from#$to$from#" file
<table:table-row table:style-name=ro1><table:table-cell office:value-type=string calcext:value-type=string><text:p>a3a3a3</text:p></table:table-cell><table:tab‌le-…

Rinzwind

nice :)

does it error out when there is a # in the strings? :X

and how does this not error out on the "'s in the "to" string?

@terdon ^^

terdon

@Rinzwind Yes, I expect so.

Zanna

1:28 PM

hmm I've been quoting my variables in sed like 's/'"$old"'/'"$new"'/'

terdon

@Rinzwind Probably because they are just around simple strings, so it doesn't matter that they end up unquoted.

Rinzwind

ok

terdon

@Zanna Yeah, that will work too.

Rinzwind

Ill trust you on that @terdon >:)

Zanna

but you saved me a lot of keystrokes there @terdon if it's safe lol

Rinzwind

1:29 PM

lol

Wear and tear of a keyboard is an issue? @Zanna

Zanna

haha no, just laziness

Rinzwind

Q: Edit Libreoffice-Files from Command Line

I want to add lines to a libreoffice calc table from command line. But I have no idea how. I just figured out how to start libreoffice from command line. For example what iam looking for: -The test.ods-file before Name Text Hans Bla Christian BlaBlub I enter... ubuntu> [a command...

command-line libreoffice

I mentioned Terdon :=D

I hate it when the Q gets more upvoted then me and the answer works :(

:)

hi

hi Anwar :)

1:37 PM

i hate Mondays and Wednesdays

Rinzwind

\o

TheXed

okay question...

Rinzwind

@Serg sushidays are the best days

Serg

yep

Anwar

Maybe it's because I answered the question. But I can't see how this q is POB

TheXed

1:37 PM

So I have a camera hooked up to a pi, and it streams to the interwebs...

Anwar

@Serg why?

TheXed

but it is only actually uploading data when being requested by a client, correct?

Serg

@Anwar i cant get any good sleep on those days. Last Monday i had 1 hour of sleep. Well guess how much i got tonight ? same

Anwar

but first, why is chat sound not working here?

@Serg hmm... have you found any reason behind this?

Serg

some goofball is messing around with opening issues and pull requests on Linus's GitHub. He doesn't know commits to GitHub don't get merged into kernel, ever

@Anwar no. Just general insomnia

and i have exam in control systems today

i am so pissed

Anwar

Oh. try to be disconnected from outside world for a while. It might help.

Q: Security Camera Data Usage

So I have set up a webcam with https://kerberos.io/, on my Rpi due to some recent vandalism and opened up the appropriate ports to view my camera while away from home. I know there are other things that affect the bandwidth usage such as amounts of activity and resolution and a few other things....

webcam internet

If anyone wants some easy points...

Serg

being disconnected probably will drive me even more crazy.

Anwar

ha ha.

Serg

what i really need is different schedule. Or a vacation. or both

Anwar

a vacation i think.

trying to restore old kde4 oxygen look and feel in kde5

TheXed

1:53 PM

@Serg I tried to give you different living quarters...but you wouldn't take me up on the offer...

Serg

@TheXed like i said, ain't got money to move

TheXed

Lame...

Zacharee1

I just got +20 on a Jan 22 answer about visual fatigue

so confused until I saw the NAA from an hour ago

still a little confused though

Serg

@Zacharee1 does chrome on mobile freak out for you as well or is it just me ? started after update

Anwar

Restored almost all, except the panel

Zacharee1

1:55 PM

@Serg I use the app. Lemme check

TheXed

Anyone watching the Windows 10 event today?

Zacharee1

where am I looking @Serg

Serg

@Zacharee1 just the main site

or meta

Zacharee1

but what's wrong

Q: Mobile site UI buggy

Basically the text of top menu and tags is outside its supposed placement. Browser: Chrome Device: OnePlus Two Issue seems specific to Chrome, as Firefox displays the site normally.

support bug

see screenshot

Zacharee1

1:57 PM

your DPI is wayyyyyy up

that's the issue

Serg

it's perfectly fine in Firefox

and it was ok before

Zacharee1

Firefox might adjust padding on sites

Serg

and i don't recall changing any dpi settings in chrome. more less, I've no clue where they are

Zacharee1

No, the phone itself has a high DPI setting

elements are huge

Serg

that makes no sense

i didn't change any DPI settings

and i didn't upgrade the system yet. only Chrome got update

Anwar

2:01 PM

Is it possible that installing bluetooth driver would solve problems with bluetooth in Ubuntu?

jokerdino

Yes

Rinzwind

@Anwar how can someone answer no to that? >:-D

Anwar

ah. I missed an essential word there

Rinzwind

:D

Anwar

read it as installing bluetooth driver in Windows...

Rinzwind

2:08 PM

and the answer to that addendum is: no

jokerdino

Yes, I have had it happen to me once.

Anwar

^ I think same

Rinzwind

If a windows driver fixes an ubuntu problem the problem is in the BIOS and the fix would be changing that setting in BIOS

Anwar

Bluetooth drivers may include firmware updates/patches

Rinzwind

but then the fix is NOT the driver ;-)

then the fix is a firmware update.

Anwar

2:10 PM

yes.

Rinzwind

and you can update the firmware without the driver I'd assume ;-)

Anwar

Yes again.

Rinzwind

>:)

Anwar

But you might not get the firmware updates runnable in Ubuntu/Linux

Rinzwind

so I still claim "No" @jokerdino >:)

@Anwar the general idea of updating firmware is to use freedos when using Linux

Anwar

2:12 PM

Actually I'm trying to see if this answer is valid or not askubuntu.com/a/371325/61218

jokerdino

@Rinzwind :(

Rinzwind

LOL

if he claims it worked ..... :X
I doubt it though :P

more likely: a software lock from BIOS that got reset with the update of the driver. and now ubuntu works

hmmmm now I got a problem

Anwar

what was that?

Rinzwind

@Anwar well now I am heading towards a "yes" with that comment and I dont want jokerdino to realize that >:)

Anwar

ha ha

Thanks @both of you

Zanna

2:27 PM

windows driver for bluetooth works for folks with my device too... unless I missed the point here...

Rinzwind

hehehehehe ->

~$ sudo
The program 'sudo' can be found in the following packages:
* sudo
* sudo-ldap
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

The irony D:

TheXed

hmmm 3D for everyone :-)

Anwar

@Rinzwind never noticed!

Rinzwind

@Anwar you can remove sudo ... but you need sudo to install sudo >:)

Anwar

2:44 PM

I'm in an infinite loop now!

blade19899

I'm starting a nameserver migration soon; does anyone have a good video, book, online explanation about everything DNS, NS, Internet?!

Anwar

What is ChrUbuntu?

Rinzwind

@Anwar counterpart of Satanic Ubuntu

:P

Anwar

an ubuntu based distro?

jokerdino

chromebook ubuntu

Anwar

2:54 PM

or some scripts to help install ubuntu on Chromebook?

Android Dev

@jokerdino - Why can't I flag an answer as VLQ anymore?

Anwar

@jokerdino a full-fledged distro or helper scripts only?

jokerdino

@Anwar helper I think.. look up crouton

@AndroidDev because they are too old?

Anwar

I think so

> ChrUbuntu is a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04, the latest Long Term Service release customized to run on Chromebooks.

Rinzwind

tsk 12.04

4 year old OS's are ancient :P

Android Dev

3:00 PM

@jokerdino So you can't flag old answers as link-only?

Anwar

No

blade19899

So, no one? :/

Android Dev

@Anwar O_o why?

@blade19899 Wikipedia?

Anwar

@AndroidDev Because SE stuff decided that as such. I don't support that idea though

Zanna

@AndroidDev if it's link only it is NAA

Android Dev

3:04 PM

@Zanna Well I tried that with an answer, and it was declined with the "flags shouldn't be used to indicate technical inaccuracies"

Zanna

@AndroidDev Was it really link only? Or just wrong?

Android Dev

@Zanna It was this: askubuntu.com/questions/775078/lib32bz2-1-0-missing-on-16-04/…

Anwar

never heard of MigrateWubi. what was that?

Zanna

@AndroidDev ah, tricky one... presumably the link is the actual thing you download...

Anwar

yes. in that case it's not link only

Android Dev

3:10 PM

@Anwar David Foerster thought it was

Anwar

Then he wronged there I'd say. One cannot include a package in their answer...

Q: Mint "tag warning" proposal
