Nathan Osman

I am in Canada :P

If anyone has recommendations for a good solder to use (and whether I should get flux too) that would be awesome.

I'll be AFK until supper time.

Q: How do I make login screen appear after plymouth has finished?

Firstly I am running Kubuntu 16.04 and whilst I know there is an "Ask Ubuntu" instance of SE I suspect this might not be something purely for the Ubunutu family and therefore of more benefit to the wider Linux world. If I was completely wrong in this please feel free to move it to "Ask Ubuntu". ...

Sandro

is there anybody

whats your idea about manjaro @NathanOsman

speed is important for me

Seth

7:46 PM

@NathanOsman as in brand, or metal?

Sandro

I'm still in doubt

which distribute to use. some of my friend insist on me to use manjaro because i am a developer and no need to download most of the app. i am completely new to linux

IanC

8:05 PM

never used manjaro, but if you are completely new to linux Ubuntu is a beginner friendly distro

Kaz Wolfe

8:47 PM

Is @NathanOsman stalking this room?

IanC

man, I need to find a really light distro to make my virtual network

running 2 kali linux in virtual machines plus my own desktop distro isn't really fast, specially when you only have 4gb ram

I needed a really light distro, with the basic functionality + wireshark support (since the whole point is to study networks)

IanC

good evening lol

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

lol

i'm learning python

IanC

cool, is it easy to learn?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

9:00 PM

i don't think so

i already know a little C

CodeX

I wonder why python is so famous in linux world

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

me neither

edwinksl

9:22 PM

@CodeX can you do ls -l ~/.dbus and tell me what it says?

grooveplex

@IanC how about Vagrant + Xfce4?

CodeX

@edwinksl sudo ls -l ~/.dbus

total 4
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 21 04:43 session-bus

edwinksl

is your ~/.dbus owned by root?

IanC

@grooveplex
Vagrant is way lighter than virtual box?
I'll download Xfce4 and create a VM to test it :)

CodeX

yes

edwinksl

9:24 PM

that is odd

same here but that shouldn't happen

CodeX

what is dbus for ?

between I installed guake today and that installed some other packages python packages ..including some buses and cars xD

edwinksl

i don't really have a good summary myself, so you can read about it at freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus

CodeX

oh thanks

IanC

@grooveplex
Oh, just realized, Xfce4 is the desktop environment, like GNOME or lightdm?

edwinksl

in any case, ~ shouldn't have anything owned by root, so i am not sure why .dbus is owned by root

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

9:27 PM

imma boot debian

Q: Preparing a Ubuntu install for sharing

I have a virtual version of Ubuntu running in VirtualBox. Currently I have lots of personal information in it. I want to share the virtual image disk with other developers, but I don't want them to be able to get all my personal info. What should I make sure to delete before distributing this vm ...

linux ubuntu virtual-machine images development

edwinksl

@CodeX i already read that; it doesn't explain how .dbus got owned by root in the first place

CodeX

oh

edwinksl

not much use to say .dbus is supposed to be owned by user, which i already know

IanC

9:33 PM

@CodeX @edwinksl
what is the .dbus folder for?

edwinksl

i don't really know

but there is a file in it which you can read with sudo privileges

@IanC is your ~/.dbus owned by root too?

IanC

let me see

yeah, owned by root

edwinksl

can you do ll ~ | grep root? i am curious about the dates

CodeX

lanC's system crashed it seems xD

IanC

root    root    4096 Jul 21 20:28 .dbus/

sorry, I took a while to see the msg haha

CodeX

9:42 PM

lan stands for Local area network ?

edwinksl

pretty it is an i not l

IanC

internal area network

it's an 'i' :p

CodeX

maybe I should change my font xD

IanC

on mine upper i is the same as low l, guess I should change mine too haha

I l

CodeX

xD

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

9:51 PM

i'm in debian

edwinksl

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD can you do ls -dl ~/.dbus?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Phew im lagging so much

@edwinksl im in the installer. I will try later

Serg

10:10 PM

yaaaaaawn. Hi guys. How's it going ?

edwinksl

@Serg i need your help

Serg

yes ?

how can i help ?

edwinksl

do ls -dl ~/.dbus and let me know what it says

Serg

$ ls -ld ~/.dbus
drwx------ 3 xieerqi xieerqi 4096 Aug 15  2015 /home/xieerqi/.dbus/

edwinksl

not sure why mine says root though xD

ls -dl ~/.dbus
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jun  9 19:38 /home/edwinksl/.dbus

Serg

10:14 PM

IIRC , that folder must be owned by your user. Owned by root folder means you did something that changed its ownership, like run a gui command with sudo maybe ?

edwinksl

i don't recall ever doing that

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

ok I'm in Debian

edwinksl

but let's suppose i did, what GUI app creates a config directory in .dbus? sounds odd

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

(not the installer!)

@edwinksl what did you want me to do ?

IanC

I used gedit as root

maybe thats it?

Serg

10:16 PM

Here is one issue that could happen askubuntu.com/q/135573/295286

edwinksl

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD run ls -dl ~/.dbus

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

okay

debian@devian:~$ ls -dl ~/ .dbus
ls: cannot access .dbus: No such file or directory
drwxr-xr-x 19 debian debian 4096 Jul 22 22:17 /home/debian/

IanC

fresh install, probably didn't create the directory yet

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

yes

edwinksl

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD there shouldn't be a space between / and .

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

10:19 PM

screw you Windows

oh

edwinksl

remove the space and try again

Serg

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD find $HOME/.dbus -ls

do that

edwinksl

@Serg anyway i was wondering if this is related to OP's problems with using your power indicator

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

debian@devian:~$ find $HOME/.dbus -ls
find: `/home/debian/.dbus': No such file or directory
debian@devian:~$

Serg

@edwinksl which problem ? the locale ?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

10:21 PM

what is happening!

Serg

huh . . . .apparently Edity doesn't have .dbus on Debian Ｏ_o ? how about pgrep dbus ?

edwinksl

@Serg actually nvm, probably not related

Serg

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD does pgrep dbus does anything ?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

debian@devian:~$ pgrep dbus
460
1131
1132
1139
debian@devian:~$

Serg

Nope, you have dbus . . . so why you don't have that folder ?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

10:24 PM

idk

im using Jesse

Debian

Serg

There's no pencil tho

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

Q: How to set locale for all children of python app?

I have written an app indicator in python for Ubuntu desktop, which calls several external programs via subprocess. It works fine under English locale , but breaks with others. I know that there is a way to do subprocess.call( ['command','arg1','arg3'], env=new_env_dict) however I am intereste...

python subprocess locale

Anybody wanna take a stab at it ? Perhaps @JacobVlijm ^

edwinksl

why do you only have 200 rep on SO

do something on it ;)

Serg

Too competitive of an environment, I think.

i need to clean up my room somehow

edwinksl

rm -rf room

Serg

O_o nooooo , then i won't have place to stay

edwinksl

mv serg china

Serg

11:32 PM

I like that one ^

I need to get $$$ saved up for that first though

Aw, Twitter denied my verification request :(

cooks rice and cleans his room, while listening to Kopriklaani's Levan Polka

edwinksl

11:50 PM

not cooking noodles?

Serg

Not today :)

Byte Commander

Be careful with rice. If you forget it for a few minutes, it might ruin your pot.

Had that happen once here... :-/

Serg

Rice cooker that I have turns off and just keeps the food warm

it sticks , but not too bad usually

Byte Commander

Nice.

I had an ordinary pot. After the incident, its inside looked like a volcano and its bottom was arched outside so that you could spin it around like a roundabout.
