arch one q? whats that >:)

1:50 PM

arch , ,,, one Question to you

if you want to change the prompt see .bashrc
There is a line with PS1 in it where you can edit it

I never used arch ;-)

0_0 but you said... wait a sec

I said what? :D

Q: Why does bashrc check whether the current shell is interactive?

25

On my Arch install, /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/skel/.bashrc contain these lines: # If not running interactively, don't do anything [[ $- != *i* ]] && return On Debian, /etc/bash.bashrc has: # If not running interactively, don't do anything [ -z "$PS1" ] && return And /etc/skel/.bashrc: # If...

"On my Arch install..."

@Rinzwind As you are good with arch, one question : I see many guys using a fancy prompt which has a line .. sth like :

----[severus@Tux ~]$
|_______>

I am searching this everywhere but no good results. You have any Idea ?

lol

1:55 PM

@Rinzwind wanna review?

Q: How can I run script the next time my computer is online

who wants this one

0

Suppose you are offline without internet connection and you want a command to be executed the next time you are online. What would you do? I currently use at <time>

command-line execute-command

seems to easy to me: make a script to start your browser and put the command you want to start before it and replace the normal command with script

go ahead

idk how to do it

2:01 PM

@Zacharee1 eh, breakfast time. this is when i afk...

Q: Offering actual money as a bounty?

actually, one more link before i truly afk

-46

I have an idea for dealing with a question you badly want to be answered, which no one will answer, even after you've offered a large bounty: cash. Users can offer cash, and whoever has the accepted answer can be paid, possibly via PayPal. Does this sound like a good idea?

feature-request status-declined bounty money-making

rinzy could have been really rich

lolz

@edwinksl me likes money

@Rinzwind @terdon See this guy's prompt : youtu.be/0TvMRPyPJGk?t=111 ; that's actually not so good. some guys have smaller and simpler one with that line.

2:06 PM

some examples of prompts thegeekstuff.com/2008/09/…

this ...

PS1='\[\e[1;33m\]\u@\h \w ->\n\[\e[1;36m\] \@ \d\$\[\e[m\] '

does this ...

This is not an EOL question. It was asked before 15.10 went EOL askubuntu.com/review/close/621335

indeed. voted to leave open

@Rinzwind it's most likely a dupe

We have 506 3k+ users

Can we like mass ping them or something? :p

2:29 PM

nope

- you can't ping anyone that never went into chat from chat.

- you can only ping a few from comments

- there is no wildcard for names

@Rinzwind I know..

hence the :p

but when you ping "oli" anyone with a name starting with "oli" gets pinged _O-

I think that bug is still there :X

Well, if they have a chat account, you can always just go and invite them to a specific chat room through it.

@Rinzwind yes, that looks better .

gasp I've beaten @chaskes in rep

hueheuhue

@Zacharee1 Good job!

good question, but n00b mistake :p askubuntu.com/questions/829120/…

3:55 PM

@SeverusTux awesome :)

:D

@SeverusTux I agree. now do a test: what happens when the dir is longer than 80 chars

On small window its bad :(

1xCV needed askubuntu.com/questions/829120/…

4:00 PM

@SeverusTux can you manipulate \w to only take the last part of the dir?

Yes, just "\W" instead of "\w"

might look better

Yes, but I want it detailed. The problem with \w in default one was that as prompt grow bigger, space to write command shrink. But here its overcome by having prompt below. (That too with a cool arrow :P )

So @Seth what do you think of the V20? I'm really excited for it

@Zacharee1 meh. Seems like a nice phone.

4:06 PM

meh? why?

Once you get in phablet range I really don't care :P

sigh

I'm happy for LG

they seem to have finally gotten the phone right

I am planning to buy a Kindle Ebook-reader. Anyone here use it ? how does SE sites look on it ?

@SeverusTux Its great for reading

terribad for internet

Too much drm

4:10 PM

If you can remind me in 12 hours..

My friend has a great alternative, let me ask him about it...

@Zanna eh, I just load mobi on it

the hardware is excellent

on Kindles??

I hardly use the amazon store

Ahhh

4:11 PM

@SeverusTux there used to be a site on it. Not sure if it is still around.

the ebookssite?

yeah

Ebooks

wow

@SeverusTux basically most web content isn't designed to render on e-ink and the browser is... wierd

as an ebook reader I like my old model paperwhite loads

yeah, I saw it on some review videos, I hoped AU would look good. All others I use on my laptop.

4:13 PM

I'll check it out tommorrow for you. ;p

for me, SE comes under educational category :P so I thought It would be good to have it on Kindle.

thanks :)

to bed with me right now ;)

@JourneymanGeek cya

good night :)

Ohww... how could I not know Ebooks SE where NathanOsman is one of the 3 mods

4:30 PM

So guys

You know how, when you visit an SE site you haven't used in a while, that notification bar comes down welcoming you back?

What if we also made a reminder in the same style that tells 3k+ users to review (esp CVs) if they haven't in a few days

did i mention how much i hate cars ?

@kush you probably are better off asking a question on the main site. There's not a lot of kde users in chat, mostly gnome and unity, some mate folks

@Serg I suspect it is pebkac though :(

:) I don't know what that is though

I wish I could just use "disks" and be done with it

don't know how to get to it in kde

@Serg can you find out what the package for "disks" is called in apt? maybe I could just install that? I don't think I will get used to kde

5:04 PM

@kush you mean gnome-disks ? yeah, run apt-cache search gnome-disks, what does that say ?

nothing :P

oh so kde won't hate me for installing a gnome app

wow this was so easy

thank you

That reminds me of something I was supposed to write up.

Which reminds me, I've tons of things to write up, but i haz headachez

6:02 PM

I didn't delete any files from /usr/share/glib and then nautilus became this ugly. halp! plz!

@Serg 我也有头疼. It's a terrible allergy day over here.

@chaskes 昨天我妈的车坏了，我怕很严重的事情，所以我昨晚喝酒了．I think that plus my typical sinus issues that i have, plus the fact that i just now having breakfast - all those add up to my headache . That and feeling totally worthless, because people care about what you can do, and judge you for what you can't . . . even if it's not something you study

yeah . . . deep thoughts . . .

@Serg কেউ কি এই ভাষা বুঝতে পারছেন?

@Anwar google translate does understand this language :p

what does it say?

6:06 PM

bengali?

yes.

I can usually recognize scripts :)

@Serg yeah. Google proved very good at that

Google translate has come a long way

6:09 PM

in the past it was bad

@Anwar not me, but that script is so beautiful...

@Zanna Thanks. Indeed it is

i just used google translate to get general idea, and fix things up. Now big chunk of sentences don't even need fixing

@Serg Hang in there. Contact me through launchpad if you ever need to.

OK will do.

6:12 PM

@Anwar I live in Tower Hamlets, apparently 1/3 of the people in my area are Bengali...

@Serg I used google translate. sorry for that. hope it'll be over

@jokerdino hugs

@Zanna is that near Heston?

@Zanna oh ok

@jokerdino Heston?

Blumenthal?

Hounslow Brownslow IDK.

6:15 PM

Lol

Heston

Heston is a suburban area of the London Borough of Hounslow, west London. The residential settlement covers a slightly smaller area than its predecessor farming village, 10.8 miles (17.4 km) west south-west of Charing Cross and adjoins the M4 motorway but has no junction with it; Heston also adjoins the Great West Road, a dual carriageway, mostly west of the 'Golden Mile' headquarters section of it. == History == The village of Heston is north of Hounslow, and has been settled since Saxon times. A charter of Henry II gives the name as Hestune, meaning "enclosed settlement", which is justified by...

Clearly far away places.

@Zanna hmm...I knew UK is one of the top country for Bengali immigrants

It's near hackney (food growing networks, anarcha eco feminist vegan cafes) and bethnal green (small artist studios, good graffiti) whitechapel (great art gallery, East London Mosque, Indian sweet shops)

@jokerdino yeah I am in east london

we need to get the close queue to 20k

how about a global close on anything with an EOL tag?

Nathan Osman

I can confirm my app works - I accidentally tweeted to my main Twitter account after forgetting that the queue was live.

Tip #729 - don't use your own credentials for debugging.

i counter that with tip #730: Use your own credentials for debugging. You have more incentive to write good code.

Nathan Osman

But it worked :D

The problem wasn't the code.

The problem was the fact that it worked.

@NathanOsman lol

@KazWolfe that'll happen when you reach 20k

Tip 731: Only test on prod if you have a death wish

7:48 PM

Tip 732: Kaz has a death wish

@Zacharee1 so.... soon?

opposite

@Zacharee1 when did i ever test on prod? I crashed prod a few times by accident, but usually it's other devs.

lol

and, eh. I think I'll hit 20 within a year or so?

definitely will if i actually try
