no, it's not like asking "...better than". I'm asking about updates ("more advanced"). See the difference? 13.04 is getting updates earlier.

The Lord of Time

"ubuntu gnome" is the official name of "ubuntu gnome remix" now

Lucio

Did I miss something here?

The Lord of Time

/me knows a few of the devs on there because of his bugcontrol connections

between "gnome remix" and "gnome" names for the releases, the changes are generally overall better. there's no real change in how "advanced" they are, they're still basically the same.

i nominate @Lucio to go through this and make it flow better and make it easier to understand:

A: the owner of files in 13.04

There is no other user just Joe. This is inconsistent as the actual user name is shown when using the command ls -l I/we already new that the files in our home folder belonged to "Me" In the reply above it would have previously shown as cyrex as the Owner. What I actually did was run nautilus as...

because all I see there is a wall of text

and nobody'll read that, especially not newbies

@Bennypr0fane you should have said "more updated" rather than "more advanced"

in the Linux world, "advanced" generally means more technical-ish

Lucio

@TheLordofTime Is that a response to my previous question or it has nothing to be with it?

The Lord of Time

not "more up to date"

@Lucio nothing to do with it

Lucio

10:04 PM

The Lord of Time

you were just the last one who's done editing to talk

so i nominated you :p

Lucio

The Lord of Time

/me runs on a multi-threaded thought process which sometimes occludes such distinctions between existing comments and unrelated ones.

mateo_salta

Yeah, i think i remember another comment that used to be ther that oil responded to.

Time travelers for you...

Lucio

@TheLordofTime Deal with it.

The Lord of Time

10:11 PM

@Lucio actually, I quite like catching people offguard with the stream of multi-threaded thoughts.

it makes life interesting :P

Lucio

@TheLordofTime mmmm.. Operative Systems..

mateo_salta

Nooo, my tablet dosn't have a backtick to add code

The Lord of Time

@mateo_salta <pre></pre> tags

mateo_salta

Crisis averted, there is also the <$> button.

Lucio

Haha, watch this great edit! Awesome

added 2 characters in body

Call me V

10:22 PM

@TheLordofTime please god use 4 spaces instead of tabs

The Lord of Time

@CallmeV can I just use this:

Lucio

@CallmeV Have you some annoying result with it?

The Lord of Time

<pre>
OMGWATBLAHFOOBAR
EHRIOWE$HRIOEW$HRP:$RW
THIS IS SAMPLE TEXT OH MY GOODNESS
</pre>

/me hates using tabs or spaces and prefers HTML code. :P

Lucio

Sorry, but I couldn't resist..

The Lord of Time

@Lucio 'tis better than nothing

Lucio

10:25 PM

@TheLordofTime Yeah, and now I will delete some repeated sentence there.

The Lord of Time

okay, enough fun for now.

Lucio

Just waiting to delete it.

X software has a idiotic idea <-- Is this allowed here?

The Lord of Time

link?

@Lucio (generally it's "not constructive" or "offtopic" usually the first though)

Lucio

@TheLordofTime Here

I downvoted it

The Lord of Time

@Lucio and I mass-revised it, downvoted it, and gave a pseudo-slap comment.

Lucio

10:37 PM

So, not an answer?

Oli

Guys... Weigh up the utility of your actions. Two edits: one to format it, the other to censor it... But nobody thinks to port it to be an actual answer?

And the trifecta: some sarcasm!

Lucio

googling trifecta

No results found for 'trifecta'..

Call me V

10:54 PM

on the pre tag thing i was encouraged not to use it because it doesn't get indexed properly

Seth

@Suhaib How do you know this answer is for 11.10?

A: How can I change the icon of an application in the Unity launcher?

For Ubuntu 11.10 The first thing you would need to do is take a .png icon file that you would like to use and copy it to the respective ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/ directory. This will contain the following directories (which are the dimensions of the icons) : 16x16/apps/ 32x32/apps/ 48x48/a...

Or rather, only for 11.10?

Suhaib

@Seth OP said 11.10.

aanswer same day too

Seth

Oh OK. Somehow I missed that when I read the question.

Oli

@Suhaib Don't all those files and locations exist in newer versions of Ubuntu?

Seth

Try to be a little more descriptive in your edit summaries though ;)

Suhaib

11:03 PM

@Oli, If you mean in the same path. then no.

Seth

@Lucio merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trifecta

@BrunoPereira Hey! Long time no see.

Suhaib

anyone have experience in changing the icon ?

I have 64 ,32 and 16

Which one should I use ?

The Lord of Time

16's a small one, 16x16 pixels is like the FAVICONS on sites

@Suhaib 16 is 16x16 (small)

32 is 32x32 (also small, but not as)

64 is 64x64 (meh)

where're you using the icon?

desktop screen? Launcher? favicon?

the icon for /dev/null?

Suhaib

@TheLordofTime, aha, I thought I have to put each size in its specific folder

The Lord of Time

yeah pretty much

but i've seen icons for apps that only have 32x32 size at most

so they have 16x16 and 32x32 (but not 64x64)

Suhaib

11:08 PM

ya, for example unity web apps like facebook, it uses 48 only. So that doesn't mean we have to put all the sizes right ?

The Lord of Time

no, i don't think so, but i usually don't have to create icons for my stuff, because most of my stuff's CLI only :p

Suhaib

ya same thing here. But there is this low resolution Icon that is bugging me alot lately :-s

Lucio

11:30 PM

Why is the next question closed? How to read ext4 partitions in Windows?

I understand that the answer should be a procedure from Windows, but.. finding an excuse

well, look the votes.

IMO it is very in-topic. Anyway it has been answered and accepted and upvoted, everything..

The Lord of Time

@Lucio because it's a windows question, not directly related to Ubuntu.

it's asking general linux ext4 not Ubuntu

Lucio

not directly

The Lord of Time

(which is why I VTC:OT'd it)

Lucio

but Ubuntu use ext4

The Lord of Time

if you think it should be reopened cast a reopen vote

(or ask someone to. it won't be me though)

Lucio

11:36 PM

I was just guessing.

I think that this has been previously asked but I don't find the correct dupe:

Q: How can I share files between xp and Ubuntu 12.04?

I am new to Ubuntu.Trying to share files between os's dual boot xp ubuntu 12.04.Are there programs to load on each os to do this?

The Lord of Time

i need to stop being a sucker for rock music, and videos made on Source FilmMaker

/me found a music video on steam that fits those criterion

Call me V

@TheLordofTime svg icons ftw

FEichinger

11:53 PM

@Lucio Wait ... When did our oneboxing change?

Call me V

yerp, i have a loopsong youtube.com/watch?v=6bMLrA_0O5I

Seth

@FEichinger How did it change?

Oh I see.. An orange font.

Eww.
