Bruno could probably use the rep more though :)
 
jrg
1. it's too late, 2, George spent more time on his answer. shrug there are pros and cons to either way.
 
jrg
Nah, really?
 
@MarcoCeppi Honestly, it looks far more - well, I don't know how to describe it - but it's simply better.
 
Thank you.
 
6:06 PM
My kids love 11.10 from the first day on because it doesn't ban them any more. They will hate @hhlp for the nice tutorial on PAM ;)
 
jrg
@Takkat haha.
 
Hope they will hate their dad only a little.
 
don't they know about booting a live usb system? :P
 
@htorque They will, eventually.
Desperate needs require desperate measures. That's how I learned. ;)
 
@MarcoCeppi @GeorgeEdison do either of you know if a user can see the edit history on a question that is not their own?
 
6:17 PM
@TheEvilOne I believe so
 
@MarcoCeppi how?
 
click on the "edited xx min ago" link
 
@TheEvilOne Like everyone else
Works in incognieto
 
i see
 
@TheEvilOne Yes.
 
6:21 PM
there should be a "Revisions" link just placed in that line of links, where it says "link edit flag" and what not
 
maybe, probably, who knows. Meta?
 
@htorque no games on a live USB ;P
 
the link is there
"Edited 22 minutes" ago or whatever
is a link to revisions
 
@JorgeCastro its misleading - i mean an actual link that says "revision history" or something
 
In 11.10, Ask Ubuntu was featured on as part of the Installer slideshow.[1] However, there is no mention of it here[2], although the other various support channels *are*. [1] http://i.stack.imgur.com/b6UfN.png [2] http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

6:24 PM
@Oxwivi I do hope that soeday they will be able to crack all security means I invented. I'd be proud on them :)
 
rather than just linking <timesinceedit> to the revisions page
 
@htorque that's a dupe, there's a bug for that somewhere already
 
oh noes
need to find that, duping gives good karma on LP :P
 
Launchpad bug:
 
@Takkat Yes, better make sure they're motivated enough to break 'em. ;)
 
6:25 PM
 
@MarcoCeppi here's something you and the other mods should address (quickly, imo):

Q: How do you challenge a ruling?

DanielI recently had a question closed as an exact duplicate. It was not an exact duplicate. My question: How can I customize my themes in Ubuntu 11.10? The other question: How do I change the theme? I was asking how I could change things within a theme. The other question is asking how to change fr...

 
@TheEvilOne Already answering
 
heh
as for MY question:

Q: "Revision History" link

The Evil OneRather than having the current system, where in a question or answer the revision history link is the "Edited ago" text, wouldn't it be less confusing to add a link called "Revisions" or "Revision History" to the line of links that shows up on a question (the links for link, edit, flag, and so o...

 
You know that mods get an inbox ping everytime we get a new meta post right?
 
@MarcoCeppi cool
 
6:30 PM
 
is there a list of mod stuff that mods have? there should be...
 
Not really
 
Need some help with editing
 
@MarcoCeppi rolls eyes i wouldnt know that as i've never been a moderator

A: How to assign a terminal based program as a default program for a particular filetype

brunopereira81In your home should be a .vimrc file, edit that file: vim ~/.vimrc Add this line (or edit it) to change the size of the vim editor when opening: set lines=80 columns=100 Adjust those values to fit your needs. For files handling in gnome you will have to use the graphical version of vim calle...

 
6:31 PM
 
cannot make the code on the .desktop file show up properly
 
@brunopereira81 editing in what sense?
oh
 
ctrl+k doesnt work
makes the text look the same
dunno why :(
will have a look later but want to give a proper answer there
 
@brunopereira81 someone got to it. FYI though...
that's the formatting handbook
i'd recommend you read it to get info about the markdown language
but to summarize
"To have a code block within a list item, indent by 8 spaces"
rather than 4
 
@TheEvilOne thx, nice list to have around. normally i just select all the text I want displayed as code and press ctrl+k
 
6:36 PM
yeah that doesnt work when using a list item
 
thx for the help :)
 
because lists, iirc, have a +4 indent already
 
@TheEvilOne answered
 
@MarcoCeppi which was answered? ;P
 
(the one I replied to) the "Y U CLOSE?!"
 
6:38 PM
ah
anyone know if StackApplet is KDE-capable?
 
It's an indicator I believe
 
@TheEvilOne Whaddya mean KDE-capable?
 
it doesnt run correctly under KDE, although the last time i tested was a while ago
 
off, see u all later
@TheEvilOne thx again
 
6:42 PM
@TheEvilOne Well, it should be 'is KDE indicator-capable'. :P
 
Here is a preview for you guys:
^---- Data Dump converter.
 
I'm not on 11.10 at work, can someone up a copy of /usr/share/icons/hicolo/16x16/apps/softwarecenter.svg ?
 
I'm not on it either at the moment :(
Hey - wait a minute.
I can get you a copy of that without needing access to Ubuntu.
@MarcoCeppi What theme?
 
Default
 
Okay.
 
6:52 PM
@TheEvilOne Um, no, I was pointing out that you should be asking if KDE was capable of properly rendering the indicator instead of asking if the StackApplet worked fine with KDE.
 
can anyone recommend a smartphone that's not so damn wide? i mean, how am i supposed to fit a samsung galaxy s2 into my pocket? and why are they so thin? so it's easier to break them? :-/
 
@GeorgeEdison What's that?
 
@htorque HP Pre2...oh, wait. DAMN YOU HP!!
 
lol
 
6:53 PM
P.S. You can actually do this yourself by hitting packages.ubuntu.com and searching for the filename.
 
@GeorgeEdison Can you also up the 24x24?
 
Then just grab the DEB that contains the file and open it an an archive application (like 7Zip).
@MarcoCeppi Yeah, sure.
 
the first one to say iphone 4s will get a few downvotes :D
 
Oh, duh - I could have just downloaded pkg.
 
Yeah :P
@MarcoCeppi: K - same URL for the 24x24.
 
jrg
7:00 PM
Ugh, planet ubuntu reacted to my last blog post in a strange manner. *_*
 
@jrg How'd you get the planet to hook to your blog. I need to find the membership posts thing
 
jrg
For IRC cloak, I went into #ubuntu-irc, asked nicely and linked to my launchpad profile.
And that's about all I've done.
 
We need 2buntu on there :P
 
jrg
@GeorgeEdison I would, but there are issues about corporation-type deals on there. :P
 
Wee, I'm on a bounty spree! Four bounties offered just this week and the last three just a few minutes ago: 100, 150, 200 and 300!
Though I bet not even one would be received by anyone. :(
 
7:11 PM
@Oxwivi You're nearing castrojo-bounty status
 
jrg
@MarcoCeppi Yeah, he's almost there.
 
Though I will never be able to keep up with that.
I am just not dedicated enough, not yet anyway.
 
7:27 PM
Bounty offered: How do I restrict my kids' computing time? http://askubuntu.com/questions/68918/how-do-i-restrict-my-kids-computing-time #softwarerecommendation
 
@jrg: you're well beyond the need of time restriction I guess ;)
 
jrg
@Takkat Ssssh.... not so loud. ;)
 
I have no plan to restrict this endlessly. In fact I already thought of a deal: If you promise to stop after 1 hour I'll promise to not ban you any more.

A: How many files I can have on a single directory?

LekensteynUbuntu does not limit the size of a directory, it's imposed by the file system. Each file and directory is an so-called inode. You can use df -i to check the number of inodes in use and available for all mounted filesystems. I've just created 1 million and one files without issues because my ino...

↑ upvote, now!
my ↑ key no longer starts the edit mode in the chat :-(
 
Good answer indeed. I'm curious which software won't crash with that many files.
 
7:42 PM
you only need a couple of ten thousand files for nautilus to "cop out"
 
:)
 
i like how media covers gaddafi's death in a very graphical way. it's not like kids should not see it. :-P
 
Kids came running in yesterday shouting: "Daddy, daddy Gaddafi was killed!"
I mean, they knew before me :/
 
What's the 'qto' thing referred to in the second paragraph of this answer: askubuntu.com/questions/25038/…
 
@Takkat kids always have a higher media competency ;-)
 
7:49 PM
Ha ha - that's why I don't need no bans for them :D
 
@Takkat Do they know who Gaddafi is to begin with? Wait, kids watch news?
 
Kids love news. They knew who he was, yes they do.
 
@Oxwivi i think it should be "assigned to"
 
@htorque Thanks, in the middle of formatting the answer, I am.
 
That was a lot formatting ;P
 
7:55 PM
29 bounties - this is madness!
 
@Takkat Ah, did you accept it already? I was fine tuning some of the things there.
 
@GeorgeEdison Solved, thnx
 
Sorry for all the small things, I'm something of a perfectionist.
 
@Oxwivi I am always too lazy... that's far worse ;)
 
@Takkat Okay, I'm done and it's final. :)
 
8:02 PM
Nothing pending :)
 
jrg
8:26 PM
Ok, after almost 300GB of seeding, it's time to shut down the 11.10 torrents. :)
 
dude
that's a lot
 
8:49 PM
 
8 min.
 
lol
@Takkat whats in 8 min?
@MarcoCeppi will the up key in the chat work again anytime soon?
 
Closed - the thousands of people question
 
ah !:-)
 
9:08 PM
The up key does still work, when did it ever break?
 
it's not working here on two systems (using opera)
let me check with chromium
crap
works with chromium
i didn't update opera though

Q: Opera: Up key not working in chat

htorqueGoing into edit mode in the chat using the up key stopped working in Opera 11.52 during the last two days. Works fine in Chromium.

 
Tag it with chat as well
 
oops, forgot. thanks for the hint! :)
 
jrg
9:25 PM
@htorque I know, right?
Totally worth the $40 I spent this month on that system.
 
10 times more than what i uploaded :P
 
jrg
Heh.
 
though, i didn't spend any extra money on it :P
 
jrg
I already had the server @ 20, so I just bought some extra bandwidth. :P
 
you never can have too much bandwidth. hehe.
 
jrg
9:27 PM
Ok, i'm out for the weekend. Cya around folks.
 
cya!
 
jrg
@Oli Please don't suspend me again. lol. ;D
 
> FYI, Opera is... not Jeff's favorite browser.
like i care? :)
 
jrg
@htorque Not mine either, but I don't care about Jeff's opinion. :P
 
opera users are a minority, i still can't let it go.
 
9:42 PM
Bedtime here - cya
 
@Takkat good night!

10:49 PM
stop being so fast and answering nice!
 
you were unlucky - usually i'm the one that's too late
 
and i usually don't answer any question these days (because i already have put anything i know into answers :P)
good night all
