@FaheemMitha hey, how are things?

Faheem Mitha

12:57 AM

@slm I'm doing Ok. How are you? Not seen you around much.

@FaheemMitha Been busy with a new job and moving to NC

5 hours later…

Faheem Mitha

7:47 AM

@slm Oh, right. You've already moved, right? I think you were either going there, or had gone there, when we last spoke.

Anyone here using a ssh server on Android? I was wondering if login via ssh has access to things like photos taken. If not, it probably would not be very useful.

@FaheemMitha yeah I've used ssh to get into my android. You can see the file as you've described. I usually use sirdroid or WiFi file transfer instead though

@FaheemMitha I'm in the process of moving, looking for a house and selling mine

Faheem Mitha

@slm Oh, so you've not moved to NC yet?

Do you mind if I ask who you are working for? Not Red Hat, I suppose?

@slm Ok. Is there any reason to prefer one of the Android ssh server packages over another? On Linux it's simple, there is only one choice. :-)

@FaheemMitha now not moved yet. Sure I work for Teradata. I've not seen any real diffs b/w them

@FaheemMitha I use only the free $$ ones

Faheem Mitha

11:36 AM

@slm if you mean the ssh servers, that still leaves a bunch of choices.

Faheem Mitha

11:48 AM

@slm btw, you must be an early riser. It's like 7 am on the East Coast.

I voted for 3.(big numbers) :(

Faheem Mitha

2:57 PM

@casey voted where?

casey

Torvalds put up a poll on g+ a while back

Faheem Mitha

@casey I'm sure he doesn't pay any attention to that.

He probably just did it to amuse himself and watch people running to vote.

casey

@FaheemMitha the 4.0 name "NAME = Hurr durr I'ma sheep" came from the poll he put alongside the version numbering poll

@FaheemMitha lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/22/203

where he acknowledges the will of the people on his G+ poll for version numbering

Faheem Mitha

3:38 PM

@casey that's really sounds unlike Torvalds. Maybe he's planning to run for president.

Q: KDE opens .deb files with ar instead of a package manager

I just installed Debian for the first time. I use KDE. I'm trying to install Google Chrome and Steam. I download the installation package, then I double-click it. Instead of installing, both display the error Failed to execute child process "ar" no file or directory

^^^^ Can someone who's familiar with KDE please answer this? There's an accepted answer now which is grossly misleading

A: KDE opens .deb files with ar instead of a package manager

You can change which program opens a file when you single/double-click it in KDE by: Temporarily, for this open only: Right click, Open With, select program Permanently: Right click, Properties. On the General tab, File Type Options. Change the order of apps under "Application Preference Order"...
