Kaz Wolfe

It's POSIX compliant and can do most everything

Seth

it also weighs 113MB.

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth I use EMACS because I'm willing to spare the resources for a good (and usable!) editor.

Seth

I prefer to keep the resources and have a good, usable editor ;)

Kaz Wolfe

A good editor should let me open the file and edit IMMEDIATELY. And then let me use extra features if I want

In VIm, editing is an extra feature

Zacharee1

12:40 AM

I prefer Notepad.exe

Still beats Vim

each of my systems have different colors so I can tell them apart at a glance.

It was so peaceful while i was in China, now back to all the drama

Videonauth

Thank you

Serg

12:52 AM

My best friend wants me to go to hospital tomorrow with her ( for baby checkup , she's pregnant )

And i don't wanna, because of my lower back pain

Kaz Wolfe

yeah if you guys have a cool PS1, share it!

Serg

So she proceeds to the usual routine of saying how bad i am

chaskes

One could argue that purging vim-tiny and therefore the metapackage ubuntu-minimal is not the best idea.

Kaz Wolfe

eh. my system's done much worse]

chaskes

@Serg What's up with your back

Zacharee1

12:55 AM

@Serg friend, eh?

Serg

@chaskes was doing deadlift in middle school, took too much weight. Now almost every year i have lower back pain. Last year got pinched nerve so had to go to chiropractor.

@Zacharee1 yup, that's my best friend

used to like her, but because i don't qualify to her standards, i never became her bf, even though i do most of the bf type of things

chaskes

@Serg Wow. I wish I had some good advice for you. That's tough. I also have a lot of lower back pain.

Serg

I already have reconsidered a lot of stuff

As for lower back, that's like forever. I'm screwed for life

chaskes

On a happier note, did you ever look at the free Chinese language comics at Dark Horse?

Serg

Nope, i need to revisit it

chaskes

1:09 AM

In the free section at digital.darkhorse.com . You may need to register

Serg

I've been watching tv series and movies though. letv. com is a good place for that

I'm in Debian without flash so I'll have to watch a little later. :)

Hello everyone :)

Hi, severus

chaskes

@JourneymanGeek You mean debian? Just use testing or unstable.

Severus Tux

@Videonauth nice :) But still its not unlimited :P

Videonauth

ok was just a try

Journeyman Geek

@chaskes true. Even testing is behind what I'm used toi

Severus Tux

lemme try that

Videonauth

1:20 AM

did you source the .bashrc again after changing it ?

Q: How to set unlimited scrolling on a TTY?

On a TTY ( ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 ), I use Shift+page up to scroll up and Shift+page down to scroll down. But the problem is, the scrolling is limited to certain number of lines. How can I get unlimited scrolling on a TTY ?

I am trying to get unlimited scrolling on a TTY. Any quick hacks ?

Q: 15.04 - Compiler can't find libswresample library

I'm currently trying to compile this teamspeak bot on Ubuntu 15.04. My issue is that when trying to compile it, I get the following error: CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.0/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:136 (message): Could NOT find FFmpeg (missing: SWRESAMPLE_LIBRARIES SWRES...

15.04 ffmpeg

nice -.- so 5 people couldn't think or read

Zacharee1

1:24 AM

I still don't see why it should be open

Videonauth

because it would be the same problem in 15.10 or 16.04 or 16.10 oh wait theat would then be OT again

applies as well for 14.04 12.04 etc

Zacharee1

But do we know that?

Videonauth

its about how to compile

reading

thinking

then deciding

;) i even put a comment below that question why i didnt vote to close

Zacharee1

I think missing libraries could have something to do with the version

Videonauth

well ill find out later today, because im to lazy right now to set up VM's to check out the procedure

edwinksl

1:27 AM

@Videonauth don't be lazy xD

Severus Tux

@Serg How do I print numbers in descending order ?
Like ... `seq 000 999` prints 000 to 999 is different lines, Do you know any way to print from 999 to 000 ?

edwinksl

my guess: seq 999 000

Serg

@SeverusTux seq 000 999 | tac

$ seq 000 999 | tac | head
999
998
997
996
995
994
993
992
991
990

edwinksl

lol tac, brilliant name

Severus Tux

:D Thanks, I was doing some for loop for that. tac... nice :D

Serg

1:29 AM

seq 999 -1 000

this can do too

Severus Tux

wow ! thats perfect :D

Serg

@Videonauth nominated for reopening. Libraires can be installed via apt-get

$ apt-cache search swresample
libavresample-dev - FFmpeg compatibility library for resampling - development files
libavresample-ffmpeg2 - FFmpeg compatibility library for resampling - runtime files
libswresample-dev - FFmpeg library for audio resampling, rematrixing etc. - development files
libswresample-ffmpeg1 - FFmpeg library for audio resampling, rematrixing etc. - runtime files

Installing from source just requires finding out which libs are missing and installing them

Severus Tux

Oh..my . :( , I can scroll only 141 lines on my TTY :(

Videonauth

@Serg yep thought of that

Serg

139 lines for me

also my cursor disappeared after i returned from tty

odd

Q: How to restart only missing/invisible mouse pointer/cursor?

For some reason, the mouse pointer on my Ubuntu 10.04 PC disappears after the computer is woken up from suspend. That PC is missing a keyboard, so I can fix this by logging via ssh, and issuing: sudo service gdm restart ... however, this basically restarts gnome, and will close any applicatio...

Or just try sudo service lightdm restart , it might help

Serg

@SeverusTux that did the trick ,thank you

Severus Tux

:D

Oh... somebody answered my question :) (But I dont quite understand it :P )

edwinksl

pros need no cursors ;)

Serg

@SeverusTux removing and inserting psmouse module is what i needed , already gave that answer upgoat.

Videonauth

@NathanOsman this site seems to be the most accurate if you're really interested in it --> bbc.com/news/politics/eu_referendum/results

edwinksl

1:41 AM

@Kaz that question you linked to lol. "i don't want to hear i don't need to defrag" xD

I M U S T D E F R A G

Kaz Wolfe

yep

Videonauth

you normally don't need to defrag as often as you need to in windows, it takes a loooong looong time to get an ext4 drive badly fragmented

Nathan Osman

@Videonauth cool. That looks useful.

Videonauth

there is some similar from the guardian, but it is time wise a bit behind the bbc site

it will be a very close call i guess

and still too many votes not counted in

Nathan Osman

Yeah. I'm curious to hear what @Oli thinks.

Severus Tux

1:48 AM

Does anyone know how to do this --askubuntu.com/a/790811/497359 ? If so, please tell me how to do it :)

Videonauth

@NathanOsman IMO the UK would regret it if they leave the EU, they are fairly dependent on the imports from gremany/france/spain etc. an exit would probably invoke import/export taxes for them

chaskes

I had been thinking this was a kernel setting as well, but I don't know how to change it.

Seth

@SeverusTux Arch wiki to the rescue ;) wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_parameters

see also: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Scrollback_buffer

arch tuts work as far as long you not need to make changes in mkinitpcio which does not exist in ubuntu

if you find something worth downvoting, sure

but that unsung hero badge xD

it's relevant

Serg

I've not seen any of your answers , and besides i am not a type of person who downvotes for no reason

Anywho, that was a joke

Kaz Wolfe

i know

i responded srsly

does anyone have a data explorer query for answers to users who have never accepted and are low-rep?

edwinksl

@KazWolfe what are you planning to do with that?

Kaz Wolfe

2:10 AM

See what answers of mine were just silently lost

like 1-rep answers that were just ignored

edwinksl

i see you got a few accepted answers with 0 votes

OP must be sleeping on the job

Kaz Wolfe

i'm looking for the other way around -- I'm the only answer, low rep OP, OP has never accepted before, low votes

edwinksl

yeah plenty of people do that, pretty annoying since we can't know if the answer ever worked for the OP

chaskes

There must be thousands, maybe tens of thousands overall

Kaz Wolfe

that's why i want a query

@Videonauth @edwinksl Thanks :) muru's answer solved my problem.

Serg

2:43 AM

@SeverusTux I'm afraid increasing scrolling in TTY is not a very easy task.I've been trying to mess with kernel parameters just now and nothing came out of it. I would suggest you use byobu or screen

Severus Tux

@Serg I got 1600 lines :D

edwinksl

@Serg apparently just need to change one line in /etc/default/grub

so our tux now can scroll like mad

Serg

@edwinksl did that just now, i couldn't scroll at all

edwinksl

hmm

Serg

Serg

Lemme try, brb after reboot

edwinksl

@SeverusTux in muru we trust

Severus Tux

:D :D yes

@Serg you need to restart. ( I did not check before restarting )

But it seems logical... edited /etc/default/grub , followed by sudo update-grub so.. next step is reboot :P . Or should it work without restart ?

Serg

Well, then . . .muru get's my upgoat

Leaving is good for them.

Videonauth

This has to be prooven in the long run

they import loads of stuff from rest of europe for which they had no import/export taxes for, this will change then

and I am not so sure if they will benefit from raised costs for foodstuffs etc

the posh people may not care, but the rest will suffer

Nathan Osman

Oh they'll suffer all right. I think it may teach them a valuable lesson.
