Yeah. I feel a lot better when I sleep in the smaller chunks. I think waking up gets you back some of the wasted time in between where you would be having REM cycles.

Q: Running X without root

I have a kiosk-style host running Ubuntu Server 14.04. I'm trying to set it up to play some videos, TV-like. Sometimes it needs to play Youtube playlists and other web-based video streaming services etc., so a browser window seems to be necessary. For this purpose I installed a barebones X.org w...

How goes it @terdon

So it begins ... we just started the next leg of our journey to the wall-e humans.

Fabby

@Pandya: It was meant as a conglomerate of all. and something KISS that we can refer newbies to.

@hbdgaf: You're the perfect medieval city watchman! ;-)

hbdgaf

Did I fart in your general direction or something?

Fabby

1:06 PM

:) You sleep in chunks

Perfect for guarding the city walls! ;-)

(that's how my mind works: it sometimes sees correlations where there are none)

hbdgaf

Oh, that. Yes. I have to for reasons already stated. I think it's because I'm almost always on high alert biologically, but I'm not sure how to "fix" that.

ulidtko

askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/227138 mfw people approve horribly obviously wrong substitution of nautilus -> evolution

Fabby

:D There's nothing to fix!

It's an advantage!

During a zombie apocalypse, you'll be one of the survivors! ;-) >:)

hbdgaf

@ulidtko that one should be seen by a mod. it indicates robo-reviewing.

@Seth ^^ just putting it out there.

@Fabby I've gotten lazy on my cardio. Maybe it will make up for it ;)

ulidtko

do I flag it?

Fabby

1:09 PM

Just roll back.

ulidtko

already done

hbdgaf

No need to flag. I pinged one of the mods. They'll see it now.

Fabby

Everyone is allowed to make mistakes! Even Oli!

>:)

ulidtko

I'm worried that it's too late; there's no notification when someone else edits your posts

hbdgaf

@Fabby That wasn't Oli, it was Olli. Look closely.

ulidtko

1:10 PM

yeah I recognize forgiveness

and yeah, @oli ≠ @olli

:]

Fabby

Everyone is allowed to make mistakes!

ulidtko

agreed.

Fabby

:D :D :D

Thanks for pointing that out though...

Oli

I made a mistake once. I corrected it.

ulidtko

thumbs up

although I'm really mad right now at Gnome guys

they AGAIN broke documentation URLs

with no obvious replacements

hbdgaf

1:13 PM

What is it some people don't understand about 301 redirects... If they did that, then there could be a site crawler that checks links for 301s and auto-fixes links.

ulidtko

there should be some kind of a carma mechanism specifically for punishing people who aggravate link rot.

the point is that there can not be 301s, because they literally remove docs from their site

or lose them somehow

not only URLs change, but content changes too

hbdgaf

It's okay to remove a doc if there's a new version. The problem is you can't find the new doc. So a 301 would work there...

ulidtko

and not that the content changes were in the direction of expanding...

yeah, I can't find the new version.

I doubt that it's even published actually.

hbdgaf

Is this about the nautilus extension thing still?

I think the Gnome folks may be taking out some of the customization stuff on purpose, so themes are harder to manipulate, extensions for some things are harder to get at, etc on purpose. It's not necessarily that they're wiping out documentation. It's that they're trying to make behavior more consistent by making it harder to tweak and accidentally break stuff. I'm not against that, but for someone that doesn't see that's what they're doing, I understand the frustration.

@ulidtko I wonder how many bugs the whole of the Gnome project gets that are user tweaks that turn in to "no repro" on a base install?

ulidtko

yeah, I'm aware of that hot discussion

but here, as an answerer/community supporter, I don't care about their politics. There's demand for extensibility, there's doc (at some point), and now things (silently!) turned into link rot. That's not nice for whatsoever reason.

hbdgaf

1:23 PM

I agree. It would be nicer to have something like a "DEPRECATED" banner at the top.

Is it in the wayback machine?

ulidtko

how about keeping the doc, but placing a big fat warning plate... yeah, exactly what you propose too

@ulidtko I'm not sure that solves it though. If the problem is that it still works... but they don't want people to do it, then actually removing it is really close to the only solution.

@RPi_Awesomeness THAT.IS.AWESOME.

@hbdgaf ikr xD

I gotta find that in actual wallpaper file form, not a screenie...

hbdgaf

On the other hand, there was a news story somewhere that they were switching to a webkit backend, so things could get better?

ulidtko

the brand is damaged forever

they should roll out a new webbrowser brand.

hbdgaf

I'm not sure that's possible. Might be a good idea. Maybe a Bing-browser if they want to couple their search engine to their browser?

@RPi_Awesomeness ^^

Or do you want the internet explorer icon gone too?

ulidtko

not sure if bundling browser+websearch is okay from fair trade perspective

they're in "market dominator" position legally, and are bound by various antitrust stuff

hbdgaf

As long as you're allowed to change the search thing and it's not locked, it's just branding. So, no fair trade impact.

ulidtko

1:32 PM

sounds reasonable

although it still requires some education on users part. Anyone seen people call the big blue "e" as "the internet"? could be same with Bing.

hbdgaf

@ulidtko I think the way they could fix that is to take a horrifyingly large list of sites IE didn't render right. And on launch day for their "new webkit version" make fun of themselves. "Look how awful our last browser was... but seriously guys, we went open standards and it renders right now. Check it out. IE reborn"

Self deprecating humor is often the easiest path to redemption.

ulidtko

yeah, could be a strong and respectable move

hbdgaf

It'll never happen though. Too much like the right thing to do.

ulidtko

hbdgaf

That logic doesn't apply exclusively to MS. It applies across the board.

@blade19899: Do you keep the 0AD page updated??? >:) (upvoted both)

hbdgaf

@ulidtko Take, for example, the HUGE big box store migrating from solaris to opensuse. I like that they did it, but now some of our handheld screens have debugging output about segfaults. So, code that never should have worked in the first place, but somehow did, is now telling on itself. So, it's ALL mixed bag.

It's hard to describe this question. Let's look at an example: The package blender depends i.e. on blender-data.

package-management packaging

@fabby: far too short >:-D you can do better

I would assume GUI/non-GUI a convention: non GUI tools are often re-usable for different GUIs

Hrm. eOS Freya beta doesn't want to shut down after I installed it in vbox.

It's stuck at * Stopping early crypto disks

hbdgaf

2:07 PM

It's probably something that lives on a given disk trying to shut itself down. Happens all the time.

Think: I can't unmount that because it's in use. What's using it? Me.

terdon

@hbdgaf it goes, it goes :)

RPi_Awesomeness

@hbdgaf Yeah.

hbdgaf

@RPi_Awesomeness I would suspect the solution to whatever problem you're having is to create a ramdisk, relocate the process that won't let go of disk there, and wash-rinse-repeat.

RPi_Awesomeness

Well...I'm on eOS Freya..having some issues with the display size though... it's super tiny

Only line i want to edit now is:

In the future that line is gonna be incorrect.

"The official 0 A.D. PPA holds packages only for the supported Ubuntu releases. Not End Of life releases."

That sounds about right.

To editing i go

@Fabby I added some detail to your answer. Hopefully that helps.

It took me 53 revisions, but i think i really hit the nail with the latest one: How do I Install 0 A.D.? revisions 53

minor within the five minute limit

In my website i also added a install from source section, you guys think it would add something to the Q/A here on Ask Ubuntu?

Fabby

I've put it in it's own section and dumbed it down a bit. ;-)

@hbdgaf I didn't want to take out too much of your description because it's excellent, but most users are not developers and developers already know, so would you be terribly offended if i just took out "It's common practice to break headers out in to a -dev package"??? :/

hbdgaf

I won't be offended at all however you change it. I just dropped in what I thought could be said there. If you want to reduce it, that's totally okay. I just put there what I would want to read there.

Fabby

@hbdgaf: as you're gone, I've deleted it, but I will not be terribly offended if you rolled back one version! ;-)

@RPi_Awesomeness Thanks!

RPi_Awesomeness

LibreOffice supports several different types

@blade19899 np :)

@blade19899 You know 0 AD pretty well. Do you think I should install from the PPA, or just go with the default in the repos?

blade19899

@RPi_Awesomeness Repos has alpha 15. PPA has Alpha 17. 17 has a few more features, but, both are still alpha releases.

Meaning both will lag a bit. Its an ongoing problem with 0ad.

I would suggest to download alpha 17, as you can play with the new features. But, don't expect one to be beter than the other

Some of the other regular mods here will be arriving shortly.

I do, thanks for popping in.

On a completely unrelated note: does anyone know what determines the length of time between when a build in a PPA completes and when the packages are published?

I've tried to discern some sort of pattern but it still seems completely random to me.

It can range anywhere from 5-30 minutes, and frankly, the delay is a nuisance.

@NathanOsman I suspect it's just a batch/cron that runs at your max delay interval or cache-ing catching up. I would also suspect glancing at the launchpad source would NOT help since the core source is open, but it's stated pretty outright that most of the "worker glue" and configuration is left out of the source.

Nathan Osman

Yeah.
