Smart line numbering:

Stefano Palazzo

@GeorgeEdison I can turn that off, right?

(not to take away from the engineering excellence) :-)

George Edison

Word wrap you mean?

Stefano Palazzo

yes

George Edison

You can... and [all together now] "on a per-filetype basis!"

Sound good?

Stefano Palazzo

Absolutely perfect, as always

my word, the huge tabs look really awful :D

George Edison

10:04 PM

Don't worry... tab width can be adjusted.

Stefano Palazzo

@GeorgeEdison I don't know enough about html, only that gedit does it differently, but: is the <!doctype html> line supposed to look like this?

TheX

hello

Stefano Palazzo

here's gedit

@TheX hello :-)

TheX

hows it going

Stefano Palazzo

very well indeed thanks :-)

yourself?

George Edison

10:06 PM

@StefanoPalazzo Well... it doesn't actually recognize DOCTYPE's yet.

TheX

not to bad.

just eating supper

Stefano Palazzo

@GeorgeEdison ah okay. I assume they're a bit like comments? so anything that matches <!.*> will be one colour?

Q: Install a software with ./configure.

I am trying to install a new software. After I unzipped it and moved it to the path, I tried usind ./configure. However, it gave me: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory. What should I do? Thank you.

George Edison

Yup, eventually comments will be added.

Stefano Palazzo

have you thought about different highlighting for the different versions of HTML and CSS?

It'd be pretty cool if I could tell by the colours that I'm mixing html5 with html4

or if I'm using a CSS attribute that's not available in css2, or something

George Edison

10:15 PM

@StefanoPalazzo That would be neat...

...but it would be a feature that would require a lot of parsing.

Stefano Palazzo

@GeorgeEdison I'm thinking you could have a little pop-up menu at the bottom of the editor, to select your version of the current language

you'll probably only have to change lists of keywords in many cases

(e.g. move "print" from "keywords" to "builtins" for python 3000)

George Edison

10:27 PM

Right.

George Edison

10:39 PM

This is ridiculous!

Every time I push shift, the Unity panel jumps in.

This makes it impossible to shift+click stuff in the corner.

hey'ta!

(hi all)

hi @TheX! @Allan haven't seen you here in a while, wb :D

Allan

@RolandTaylor Just answered my 100 question thought id hang for a bit

Roland Taylor

oh nice, congrats :)

Allan

@RolandTaylor 2buntu.com/?p=1279

Forgot to categorise it 0.o

You know I didn't know there was so much comedy potential in linux

Roland Taylor

11:14 PM

@Allan :D

Allan

@RolandTaylor If you want to do that video I would put a warning before hand like "may contain efficient use of processing power"

Roland Taylor

lolol

Good plan :D

Will give me a reason to use tibesti + openshot >:)

Allan

@RolandTaylor Heard of any oops issues with the 39 kernel (engages serious mode)

thinking of going back to 35 see if it helps

Roland Taylor

oops issues?

You mean power management problems?

Allan

no kernel oops every now and again I get a crash to the log in another shell and it shows a kernel oops basically a bunch of Wookee with an oops at the beginning

Roland Taylor

11:29 PM

oh that oops

I haven't had any problems with it so far, nor have I heard of anything.

Have you tried say .38? It might be a bug with .39 on your hardware.

Allan

@RolandTaylor yeh did I hear something about linux 3 hope there not getting the chrome ff bug

Roland Taylor

@Allan I sure hope not too... it seems some things have been slipping through recently that are causing fringe-type issues, but if you add a bunch of fringes up you'll get trouble :/

Allan

@RolandTaylor like a whole tv series en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe_(TV_series)

Roland Taylor

LOL
