She has no clue about any of it probably.
 
can anyone of you start\ "font viewer" from DASH?
@AndroidDev CV it. she uses W10 askubuntu.com/questions/804454/…
and now back to font viewer: does that work for anyone for you when started from dash?
@Serg cv it please :-) she's got W10
 
In News: Reddit moderators banned 2,200 accounts during Donald Trump’s AMA yesterday
 
@CodeX all of them hopefully were trump supporters
 
@Serg Nope "subscribers accused Reddit administrators of censoring the Trump session by artificially inflating (upvoting), or deflating (downvoting) the vote counts, as well as shielding it from the front page — a move that would have brought the mostly-liberal Reddit en masse to take over the Q&A session."
 
@CodeX that's is 376m-2200 too few >:-D
 
8:08 PM
xD "One Redditor asked why Trump refused to share his tax returns before promptly being banned."
 
@CodeX there could be Hillary account amongst them
 
@Rinzwind Lol could be
 
> Mods banned any account created within the past month, and any that asked questions they felt were hostile, although there were no clear-cut guidelines of what constituted a hostile question.
So basically if a mod was pro-Trump , they banned everyone who asked Trump "sensetive" questions
 
@Rinzwind this is probably unilluminating, but using MATE, when I open font viewer by enabling the launcher and clicking on it, it dies... I see the command it's using is mate-font-viewer %u and when I run that I get Could not load face 'file:///home/zanna/%25u' (when I run mate-font-viewer it asks for an argument)
 
Typical corrupt politics.
 
8:10 PM
Welcome to Soviet Russia, ladies and gents
 
Sick new paint-job on that truck
 
RIP font viewer
 
the problem is ... it comes from BOTH sides this time. And it is exposed rather quickly.
Did you see that dude(a math professor I think it was) about the election results?
 
@Rinzwind It always comes from both sides.
 
8:13 PM
maybe. but if it did in the past it did not show up on the news (???)
 
of course it didn't. The news is controlled.
 
Hillary side xD
 
not this time :)
 
here ->
A shift of 2% in votes is considered fraud. In most of the NYC it shifted 12% in favor of Hillary
(oops) >:)
 
8:17 PM
Well that is hardly proof, but I do not doubt it.
 
any launchpad experts here?
is this good enough: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-font-viewer/+bug/1607937
My 1st sony.... eh bugreport
 
Also affects project (?) Also affects distribution/package
Which one do i click ?
 
@Serg depends on what this is about >:-D
 
nvm, got it
 
ok >:-D
 
8:26 PM
@Rinzwind confirmed your bug
 
cool
now we are 2! >:)
 
if only i could stop being sleep deprived and with crazy schedule that'd be great
 
ooh a sollution in the answers
 
ARGH.
That moment where you mis-click and delete the wrong file.
 
can I add to this bug @Serg :X
 
8:30 PM
@Rinzwind looks like you have hit the rep cap
 
I love you, trash bin.
 
sure did! >:)
 
@Rinzwind add what ? You could add comments . . . i'm actually not the best person to ask about launchpad , i barely figured out how to sign UCOC
(Ubuntu Code Of Conduct)
 
aha wanted to add to the bug. and dont see a "edit bug" :P
 
I wanna have coffe and i wanna have 12 hour nap , and i want to be in China right now . . . i am very very conflicted and torn
Warning: when Serg is tired and sleep deprived he becomes whiny and totally unproductive . . .
 
8:33 PM
Careful, don't drink too much coffee.
 
@edwinksl 226 >:-)
see you lot we can fix bugs too on AU >;-D
 
Has anyone ever wonder why I always talk about killing myself?
 
Uh... nope.
 
suicidal ?
 
kill processes not people!
 
8:42 PM
@NathanOsman I have stress.
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 How come?
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 get a dog and pokemon go :-X 1 hell of a stress reliever _O-
 
@NathanOsman I'm always around an annoying child I hate children!
 
LOL
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 You have to learn how to outsmart children >:)
 
8:44 PM
@NathanOsman ?
 
sorry, had to restart my Unity. I borked something just now
 
where am I
 
@CodeX in 2016 :p
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 If they are annoying you, then you need to come up with creative ways of getting them to not annoy you without them knowing that you're doing that.
 
@Serg xD
 
8:46 PM
@CodeX that assumes you are. Have you proven that yet?
 
@Rinzwind no .. is there a script to prove that
 
no but I know the outcome of the script >:-)
it would be: 42
 
genius
Like the bluetooth lady
~SwiftKey has shut down the cloud synchronization feature of its keyboard app after people reported seeing strangers' email addresses and phone numbers on their phone screens.
 
lol
 
@Serg ...security.googleblog.com/2016/07/… HSTS @ParanoidPanda was talking about
 
8:58 PM
GdkX11 is somehow weird and buggy
 
back 2morow
 
@Rinzwind If your answer here had 6 votes less or my answer had 12 votes more, I would get a gold badge for it...
Good night though :)
 
I was planning on removing that as soon as the upvote is gone >:)
there 11 to go
 
I still need to edit my answer
 
gone :D
 
9:09 PM
Aiming for the populist gold badge
thanks btw
 
it's a tough one :)
 
Anybody has dual screen right now ?
 
Nope.
 
Testing without extra hardware is pain in the lower portion of the body
 
Well, If you shipped a second monitor over here, I would be glad to help you testing whatever you like...
 
9:19 PM
I don't have money to even ship another monitor to myself :)
The one I am using is actually a VGA display from old HP Pavilion that my friend gave away to me, because it was horribly slow and they got iPad, so they had no need for old rusty desktop anymore
 
i want to remove all directories from within directory ParentA except directory childB and all its children
 
@JoeSaad don't mind posting that as a question on the site instead of chat ?
 
A has many directories which i want to remove, but i don't want to remove directory B and its descendents
 
^ what Serg said
 
@Serg oh ok i can do that
 
9:25 PM
I'm imagining you with an entire lab just for solving other folks' AU problems there @Serg :)
 
@Zanna yup, and that's bascially gonna be my room . . . servers and monitors on the left, bed and cookies on the right. Pile of books and clothes in the middle
@JoeSaad have you posted yet ?
 
here's the question
 
dedication :) :) actually (kind of embarrassingly) I installed MATE partly to finish answering a question (OP randomly moved to MATE and so the original solution didn't work) and I'm kind of still using it because there don't seem to be many MATE users answering a lot on AU... I prefer using Xubuntu and I want to explore more
 
9:41 PM
@JoeSaad posted an answer. Not quite sure why it complains later after directory is removed, but it works
Aha, found solution to that
 
none of the directories are empty
 
beautiful :)
 
no
this didn't work
 
Interesting. Any error message ?
 
it removed my children directories of the one i don't want to remove
i.e. it removed ac1 and ac2
no error messages
find: ./yeast: No such file or directory
find: ./zip-object: No such file or directory
find: ./zone.js: No such file or directory
it kept saying no such file or directory for all
 
9:46 PM
Yeah, because it cached those files before removal for listing, but after they're gone, it cannot stat them
ok, need to adjust the command . . .
 
it kepts its files though but removed ac1 and ac2
 
How exactly did you format the command ? Because that directory should not have been listed. By the way, did you try the command with or without -maxdepth 1 ? I've edited it a few minutes earlier, so you may have tried older one
 
i tried the command just as written in the answer
find . -mindepth 1 -type d -not ( -name "@spacore" ) -exec rm -rf {} \;
without maxdepth
i'll try it with max depth now
 
@JoeSaad take out -exec part
let's just see what it gives you
find . -mindepth 1 -type d -not \( -name "@spacore" \)
Works for me alright
$ LC_ALL=C find ~/TESTDIR -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -not \( -name "@spacore" \)
/home/xieerqi/TESTDIR/removeA
/home/xieerqi/TESTDIR/removeB

DIR:/TESTDIR|15:53|skolodya@ubuntu:
$ ls
file1  file2  removeA/  removeB/  @spacore/
 
works for me too as currently posted in the answer
 
9:55 PM
i'm in the parent directory now
 
OK , so do find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -not \( -name "@spacore" \)
 
if i remove the -exec part, nothing happens
 
@JoeSaad yes, we want to troubleshoot it first why it lists @spacore
the goal is to avoid @spacore being listed
 
ok, let me perform the delete now
 
Wait on the deletion
 
9:57 PM
yes it is not listed
 
OK, so now add the -exec rm -rf {} \; part
 
works like a charm
 
:D yay
 
i just marked it resolved
thanks a lot
 
Saw that. Always welcome ^_^
 
10:07 PM
I have a working etcd cluster! Woo!
 
applauding virtually
 
@NathanOsman you've successfully Linuxed
 
Now to deploy stuffs.
 
@Zacharee1 and I'm in the process of successful ubunutting :D
 
yay
 
10:14 PM
@Serg I know I'm half an hour late to the party, but I found an easier solution to delete the folders using your other best friend Bash...
 
@ByteCommander extglob ?
 
Nope, for and test
Posted an answer.
It's definitely shorter than your find command.
 
@ByteCommander sure is shorter, and sure would work . . .except for one butt . . .
 
which but(t)?
 
@Serg HE TOUCHED THE BUTT
 
10:20 PM
Awwww, no! Please!
 
lol
 
How old are you? 8?
 
maybe
 
If there are files there in that parent directory . . . your command will remove them . . . if OP wants to delete only directories , but keep files, your for loop will nuke everything that is not named "survived_dir"
DIR:/xieerqi|16:12|skolodya@ubuntu:
$ touch FILETESTO

DIR:/xieerqi|16:19|skolodya@ubuntu:
$ rm -rf FILETESTO
Yes, rm -rf FILE works on files
 
@NathanOsman Docker
 
10:20 PM
 
lol
 
BUTT another butt !!! OP didn't request that . . .
 
Yup, sure. Isn't it supposed to do that? Let me read again...
 
@Serg BUT
 
therefore i leave that case as only hypothetical thingy
and you already haz my upgoat
I rest my case, and take my smoke leave . . . with a phone . . .so i am not leaving
 
10:23 PM
:-/
Get a girlfriend that makes you quit smoking...
 
he did, but she's in China
 
My gf does want me to quit smoking . . . but she's also very very understandable . . . so we compromise on smoking less
 
lol
 
@HenryWHHackv2.0 yes, i am haz a girlfriend, and me no grammar well ,
 
10:27 PM
@Serg You have a girlfriend holy moderators! :O
 
ikr, it finally happened. . . .well sort of. . . . it's a complicated story
 
Two butts fighting over a dollar! — Arronical yesterday
 
gosh, i need to hold on at least 4 more hours before i pass out
 
o.O @Serg @Zacharee1 ^
 
wat
 
10:29 PM
@ByteCommander yea, i saw that one
funny as heck
@Zacharee1 its from bash script ))$((
 
lol
 
meanwhile, i gotta finish my script for window moving between dual screens. DOES ANYONE have a dual screen ? help me test it
 
qms.host is normally $111 per year. It's on sale for $.88 - good idea or bad idea?
 
.88 per month ?
 
Per year.
But probably only for the first year.
 
10:33 PM
88cents?
that's quite a sale
 
welp, good deal but i have no idea what qms.host does so don't take my words as advice
 
he wants it for his domain
quickmediasolutions
 
It's a good deal but then if I use it (perhaps as a URL shortener) then I am stuck paying lots more next year.
 
@NathanOsman use q-m-s.host so it isn't a special domain anymore
three letter domains are really expensive
or something like that
 
myqms.xyz
How 'bout that?
The regular price is only $13/yr.
 
10:35 PM
sure
 
Or can anyone think of something better or shorter?
 
qmsc?
 
myqms.co is $13, regular $30.
Is the .co worth more?
 
dunno
 
13$ per year aint bad
 
10:39 PM
myqms.me?
 
redundant
 
Are there no free ones, like .to?
 
tk
but three letters still costs a lot
 
oh right. It was tk
 
@ByteCommander point OP to some links about Virtual Box installation or VMware askubuntu.com/a/804690/295286
 
10:41 PM
@NathanOsman why not myqms.tk?
 
Those domains are looked down on more than .xyz
 
TK's making a rise
you could also do .ml, .ga, .cf or .gq
 
@Serg Could do that, but I'm feeling a bit lazy. And Elder Geek already offers links in his answer, so I don't want to steal them...
 
@ByteCommander his links point to virtualbox download site. I meant askubuntu posts with instructions on installing Ubuntu in virtualbox.
 
@NathanOsman I know! myqms.INFO
:D
 
10:46 PM
It's not even available :D
 
really? o_O
someone wanted that?
What's it say @Germans?
> ZUGRIFF NICHT ERLAUBT

Die angeforderte Seite darf nicht angezeigt werden.
 
I can have qms.top for $3000.
 
O_o
 
@Zacharee1 ACCESS DENIED - The requested site may not be displayed.
 
thanks
I think it might AdBlock, but every video I load in YouTube shows a quick image of Hillary Clinton
 
10:51 PM
o.O
That's subliminal advertising!
 
Someone already took qms.lol???
 
There are psychological studies that seeing images of something flashing up for a short, barely visible moment increases your demand for that.
 
And qms.rip... hm...
 
The studies used pictures of Coke though, not Clinton...
 
@NathanOsman dare I say... lol, rip
@ByteCommander I heard about those
 
10:56 PM
qms.dog
 
is there .doge?
 
such host, much domain, wow
 
yes
 
What about qms.adult?
Or qms.airforce?
 
oh, yes
adult is perfect for what Nathan is doing
 
10:59 PM
qms.faith maybe?
Or qms.ninja?
 
@ByteCommander Nope. Nope. Nope.
 
I don't think Nathan's running a church
and he wants short stuff
@NathanOsman if you like that, you might as well go with .xxx
 
nathan.party is legit available.
 
lol
 
qms.webcam will cost you over 2.6k€ per year
 
11:02 PM
my question has gained 2500 views ( and thus Notable Question badge ) . . . yay
 
@Serg yay
@ByteCommander oohlala
 
What about qms.codes, qms.network or qms.zone?
 
@ByteCommander SHORT domains
 
The codes one is 40€/year on gandi.net
 
like three chars or fewer
 
11:04 PM
no qms.farm or qms.coffee then?
 
lol
 
i want .serg domain
or .xrq
 
There is qms.wtf for almost 30€
They also have qms.fail xD
 
how about qms.ftw ?
 
qms.pizza
Ugh... Take this one if you want to make sure nobody can type your URL: qms.みんな
2
 
11:08 PM
lol
 
unless you have plenty of users in japan
panda would def visit
 
Get the domain qms.porn for only 100€/year!
 
lol
 
qms.uno might be interesting for only <13€/yr
 
and speaking of defs , i just want to point out that python's def func(): is much more lovely and concise than public static void some_method ( ):
 
11:10 PM
There's qms.bar and qms.beer
and qms.sucks
 
xieerqi.lol
4.14 for a year
 
Oh my gosh... >.<
in Charcoal HQ, 2 mins ago, by SmokeDetector
[ SmokeDetector ] Offensive answer detected: Is auto-fellatio haram? by Aaliyah on islam.stackexchange.com
Why, why WHY?
 
serg exe stopped responding, lol error
 
@ByteCommander o_O
 
Sometimes people seem to think they're alone on the interwebz.
Whoa, this whole Islam site is really surprising me.
Looks like even playing chess is forbidden for Muslims o.O islam.stackexchange.com/q/1864/17909
 
11:28 PM
@RPiAwesomeness do you have dual screen setup ?
 
same goes for music...
I wonder what a strictly believing Muslim is allowed to do the whole day except praying...
 
Wasn't like this in the past, I suppose. Omar Khayam was great scientist , loved wine , wrote poetry
 
The more questions I read on Islam, the more I must think that most users there are extremists I would better not want to meet in a dark alley...
I'm really sorry if anybody feels upset now, but from my personal point of view that's all hilarious.
