In EnhanceIO (HDD to SSD disk caching) I had to use python compiler during init-tools (grub boot) to compile program in order to shave 5 seconds off boot. So it compiles fast I learned.
@NathanOsman since you seem to know JS, what would be a good way to GET for new content and append that new content into a scrolling div? 500ms polling doesn't work so well when there are 15 instances
well, so turns out reading files from the server with JS isn't as simple as I thought, I'd need to use AJAX, meaning something else to learn before achieving the dynamic page loading :/
I would center or full-width the menu bar, make the body thinner, maybe add a narrow shadow around the border or make the background color slightly different
i think I'm going to need to ask a question on security SE site. I don't know what to do with this. I have idea for indicator which may need to chmod a root-owned file. Problem is i don't want to have user be spammed with authentication all the time
modifying sudoers file during deb file installation, I'm guessing is bad practice, so that's also bad
Well, I used to use regularly Toshiba Satellite L455D , but it's quite heavy and now the battery doesn't hold well at all. I liked it for the keyboard - quite comfy. I've got Toshiba C55 now , quite light, 15'' screen , but keyboard is pretty much flat,large, and keys are all together - the spacing is too small, so it doesn't feel compfy
I kind of like Acer Chromebooks. I'd love to get one for myself and install Ubuntu and mess around with it
problem is that I can't add second hard drive to it
I can do so with my 15'' Toshiba C55 , though. That's what I have right now, by the way - one SSD with root on it and HDD with bunch of VMs and backups
When I don't actually need a laptop I go into the computer stores and dream about how amazing it would be to have that $3000 alienware something or other. Then I ask the shop assistants about all sorts of tech specs and obsess over things like key spacings, sizes, how much resistance and travel the keys have when typing. Then when I actually need a computer, I am so over all the details, I literally just get the cheapest laptop with a 15" screen.
well, the way Jacob implemented it is via the method i just described - continuously pkill -f notify-osd. Mine is supposed to chmod -x /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd and then pkill -f notify-osd . That blocks notify-osd completely
I've also used the pkill method in my bash script, but i am not happy with it, like i said - it seems too much like a race condition
What I found is . . . notify-osd doesn't start if there's already an instance registered for it . . . so . . . I think, if I can kill the process, then masquerade my own process as notify-osd , then it can be blocked
How can an unprivileged user prevent a D-Bus service from launching? For example, /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service is started by the session bus. There doesn't seem to be a way to "blacklist" it. Am I missing something?
eh, alright I guess. Started two new indicators, trying to find a way to start working on 3rd one. Hopefully will finish them by the end of November , if time allows
doing good. Was working on a project. Found an issue, wrote a question to solve it on SO and bountied it because I was feeling lazy. Nobody answered. Then solved it myself yesterday. Good luck for your indicatorz
@Rinzwind you should be subscribed to RSS feed for that tag ;) that's what i do. I receive emails from stackexchange every day with list of command-line questions
@Rinzwind also , be sure to test it out on spam tagged with command-line. I'm convinced that command-line gold insta-nukes spams tagged with command-line. Happend to me multiple times - once i flag it goes poof
others seem to suggest that gold badge only gives limited dupe voting power, but it can't be coincidence that as soon as i voted on spam with command-line question it was deleted
@Anwar i checked the edit history, and indeed you added "anything generic will do" , but what remained at the top is "I need to test something with Ubuntu's copy progress window." This specific phrase leads people to think that you want the copy dialog from nautilus. That's the main problem there.
Might seem like people don't read your question completely, and some people don't, but your first phrase set the wrong idea , so . . . unfortunately that's the case
@Anwar it's really sort of guess and check with some questions. I had to really fight for one of my questions to remain open on U&L and pretty much say why the question belongs on the site. We're all humans and have to communicate
As far as I remember, you hinted at zenity at that time. But didn't explain it in details and didn't answer. I also didn't test it then. I was going through my questions today to accept acceptable answers and then played with zenity. I should have pinged you maybe before writing, but since you already avoided answering that one, I thought you had some reasons for that.
@Anwar recently I've been more focusing on my classes than on AU stuff, so that's probably the biggest reason. Just wait - there will be more answers now that you've edited it.
Anybody heard about LionSec Linux 5.0 distribution? Are there any websites/forums (except the main distro web) where I can find english reviews regarding LionSec Linux 5.0 distribution? Or maybe someone from you already tested it?
I'm using Ubuntu as a main system since 2 years, but I would like...
@DavidFoerster Yeah, those are awful. But no, flagging them is not really useful. The mods can't do anything more than you can. if you want to be a really, really good user, you can go and include the relevant info from the links into the answer. That's the best a mod could do also.
If it weren't accepted, we could delete it etc, but if it's accepted, it's usually best to leave it IMO. Ideally with the info from the links included.
