10:09 AM

assuming you know what you are doing, gksu nautilus is the right way.

i need to approve your script

@Mahesh Yay~ I was right~! Noob gets a point ^o^

do close that window as soon as you copy things, and dont do anything else from that.

/me ragequit.

@Mahesh I am sure I want to do this.

10:09 AM

@jokerdino YAY!!!!

o/ @fossfreedom

@jokerdino come on gtalk please

@AmithKK yessir

@kan go ahead then.

@kan Then do what I said! :^D

10:10 AM

OK. Please let's go over this step by step. Newb here.

Press Alt and F2

@Mahesh rawr

lol.
I mean, trollol. :P

Or Alt + Fn + F2 depending on if you have function keys as default

@Mochan they are on a black screen now...

10:11 AM

@Mahesh /me sends trollbait.

@Takkat ??? Try Alt + Fn + F2

@kan, open a terminal and type gksu nautilus

@Takkat ? I believe X remaps alt +fnx keys.

@jokerdino >.>

@Mochan tell them how to come back first ;)

10:12 AM

@takkat, Alt+f2 in virtualbox goes to TTY

but in a host session, it works fine

as I said, X remaps them.

@Takkat Wait... did I just speak to the wrong person...? I thought I was talking to kan?! ???

yay!! we have succesfully confused someone.

okay, lets try to restore order.

That's not good! ;A;

@kan you still there?

10:14 AM

@jokerdino Ahem.

OK. I typed gksu nautilus.

@jokerdino flagged.

(In between, something messed my internet.)

@kan hit enter, you should get a window asking your password.

10:14 AM

@jokerdino (jk)

lambda23

@kan try sudo cp -r

@Mahesh i was scared zomg

@kan, when you are confused, ping me.

@kan hit enter again, and you should get a file manager window.

@lambda23 for once, why dont we try not to confuse someone? :P

@jokerdino OK, I will do. Thank you for being kind.

@Mahesh Yes. I have one.

10:16 AM

Hi.

I installed Komposer which works as Adobe Dreamweaver.

umm... thats wierd..

i am not drunk yet

10:29 AM

But I want Adobe Dreamweaver, is there any way to have it in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Dreamweaver has a linux version? O.o

TIL...

I found it somewhere. Wait I found it.

osalt.com/dreamweaver

@jokerdino Yeah. True.

10:31 AM

@Mochan ok.

unixmen.com/install-dreamweaver-cs4-in-ubuntudebian

Guys, I'm leaving. @kan, @JourneymanGeek, I'm doing the assignment. Bye all. Wish me luck~

@Mochan good luck.

@jokerdino Thx bro ^^

@Mochan no problems bro

10:31 AM

@Mochan Good Luck. Have fun with the assignment.

@ManjotSingh wait....

Ok.

dont wine things. you'll regret.

wine; whine

Is there a simpler way to copy a file from the terminal?

10:33 AM

@kan rephrase

@kan cp source destination

sudo apt-get install kompozer

This GUI procedure is elaborate.....

or give it super powers with sudo cp source destination

you want to do using cmd

10:33 AM

I'd like to copy from a directory to one that is protected.

As I am not Ubuntu user, I am Mac User.

@kan you use terminal often?

i am not mac user.

4

@jokerdino you get a star for nothing.

I am Mac User, Developer etc.

10:34 AM

@Mahesh i told him terminal apps are sexy

@Mahesh I like to learn this! It is awesome fun.

lambda23

@kan Try sudo cp -r source destination. -r means recursive, to copy file from ordinary folder to protected directory, like /opt

i also introduced him to fdupes yesterday

@ManjotSingh we all are Ubunteros. Ubuntu users and developers.

man fdupes

But I am Ubunteros also.

10:36 AM

:(

No manual entry for fdupes

install it

It is for me?

 du -sh .[a-z]* | sort -nr

@ManjotSingh no

Whats happening?

@jokerdino my bad. :P

10:37 AM

How would I get Adobe Dreamweaver in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS @AmithKK

Wine

@AmithKK hey you.

W(h)ine

@kan terminal is fun. elinks+vim+screen+mc+mocp/cmus is all I need.

@kan or @JourneymanGeek, am i allowed to ask for help with the assignment?

@Mochan You're allowed to. :-)

@jokerdino cool. I'll add it to my beasty script.

@Mahesh good. now, what about wordpress and vim? :|

google to find some clues, or hack up a link.

vim to sendmail to wordpress. :D :P

10:46 AM

@kan Yeah? Um... so when they say 'The parameters are times in seconds. Return how many hours later the second time is than the first. (Please note: in a1.py, we have provided the completed docstring for this function, including example function calls with the expected return values.) ' I am supposed to write a script to execute to define the difference between two numbers? And then finish with return result or whatever>

i'll go off dinner and we will do this after that.

@Mahesh -.-

okay.

@jokerdino lol.

@Mochan yes.

You just need to keep track of units.

Unfortunately, I am leaving for discussing sth. I'd be back in an hour.
