yeah it's 5900 I think

okay so that was my first question

that's what the grep verified (it can be anything you want...if you start more than one, they bump up incrementally)

and my second question is

...

how could I modify your command if instead of having B's IP, I have its hostname

meaning, I access it with 'ssh B'

just swap it in

it should just work

12:32 AM

would it be 'xvnc4viewer -via B 127.0.0.1:0'

yep

if it works by ip but not by hostname it's time for a little shell script to resolve the ip and stuff it in there

well in any case the text returned on A is:

xvnc4viewer -via B 127.0.0.1:0

thanks for your help.

Now to write a Nautilus extension.

you can always edit your question if you find a way, i'll be checking the question now and then. Otherwise i'll probably be back in this chat tomorrow

well, it should only disconnect if you modified options (you shouldn't need auth rfb for a vnc session running on 127.0.0.1 on desktop)

@bob it's working here. unless you changed something it should just work there. i don't have an image of both your systems to play with

12:38 AM

I'm sorry too late to think :)

yeah I know

it's okay if you don't find an answer, I'll just do without

it's sad though

I plusOned your answer

good night

nite

Another dilemma: should I bundle the Nautilus extension with the package, or should it be separate?

The advantage to bundling it is obvious - but then it adds a dependency on Nautilus itself.

(Which won't thrill KDE users.)

It wouldn't thrill xfce users either (thunar), but it would thrill kde users even less

Hmm... what to do...

Maybe I need to ask a question for this.

Your choices are easiest or best your call

I think that simplifies it down as far as it can be

12:52 AM

Another consideration though... if packaged separately, I doubt the Nautilus extension will count for the contest.

...and anyone who wants it will have to add my PPA.

So having it bundled would be nice.

procrastination is for artists and writers like myself

writer's block...a convenient excuse

nah - it's more than that

but not going into detail

Tweeted by AskUbuntu on July 5, 2012 at 1:34 AM

So I just include the file (it seems) in a certain location and it only works if the user has Nautilus installed. Otherwise it does nothing.

But it's not quite that simple.

anything worthwhile never is

It still won't work even if the user has Nautilus installed unless they have the python-nautilus package installed.

1:51 AM

Have you considered throwing a dialog asking the user if they want nautilus integration and just gksudoing a command line as a subprocess?

Hmm... that's an excellent idea.

Thank you.

no problem

The Nautilus support is still very experimental.

@nitstorm welcome back!

A badge of shame?

@izx All hail the glorious windo- oh wait.

6

Lol.

3:06 AM

@izx there's no shame in supporting users making the switch...if we only support command-line questions we'ld be UL not AU

Hmm... Nautilus integration isn't quite working right. It's sending URIs instead of absolute filenames.

@jrg lol. so what's up with the driver/drivers tag thing?

Even worse, the XML RPC call is blocking Nautilus and the window stops responding.

@aking1012 Agreed; dual-boot/interoperability is also an essential (intermediate step).

Oh wait... I can get around that with a queued connection (in Qt) instead of a direct connection on one of the signals.

3:07 AM

We aren't AskRMS.com ;)

Back to the first problem.

@izx No clue.

I've got 6 hours left at home, and I intend to sleep sometime before I leave, so meh. Take it up on meta. :p

WHAT there's a cryengine3 sdk free for non-commercial use

mycryengine.com

no, i'm not kidding

@aking1012 dang

windows only though...which is less than optimal. it's not an OSS engine, just an sdk to hook in to their engine

3:20 AM

@jrg Thanks bro :) How's things?

3:41 AM

Why is @joker taking the 4th of July off? I need him to unaccept that metaQ on driver/drivers so we can decide which is the original and which is the doppelganger.

I agree that "questions are about drivers", and it may be the correct form, but we aren't English.SE. Most folks have problems with a driver; the exception is mostly noobs who ask "Where do I get a Linux drivers CD for my motherboard, etc."

i think he was going by count as opposed to some standard naming convention

By count, the synonym is 1200+ and the "original" is 19.
So I don't know if it's a simple swap mess-up, or there is a higher power at work ;)

fair point

4:01 AM

@izx hmm alright.

@aking1012 heh it just happened that i never used to watch star wars.

@aking1012 and i am on it. thanks for the ping.

Never mind @jokerdino, I presumed you were celebrating the independence of both Malaya and India as I suggested last night ;)

and the alright was about the meta q

@msPeachy :waves:

:rolleyes:

Rote-learning ftw.....NOT ;)

Can you edit your q to explain my perspective (if you agree)?

4:09 AM

edit it away.

@jokerdino someone posted a spellcheck issue on libreoffice

yes. i got pinged as well.

and i just saw your comment. does that mean you have fixed your problem?

haven't opened libreoffice yet, i'm at school now and i'm using ms office here...

ah, alright then.

Spellcheck is for wimps. Real men compare each word manually to the hardcover complete Oxford English Dictionary.

4:11 AM

@izx what about real women?

:P

... fair question...

LOL. I hereby dub you an honorary man for purposes of spellcheck. :p

@izx who? jokerdino?

YOU are an honorary man.

gotta go eat lunch, i'll leave you two to sort out it :bye:

That's just peachy :p

so you got that question sorted-ish?

Yes, looks like we'll have that sorted. I mean, it shouldn't matter -- people will pick up whatever's auto-suggested when tagging.

cool deal, it was picking up close-votes until i noted and edited

very wisely said.

Of course, you really do not need to make a back-up. You can resize your partitions without backing up first. It is your choice but if something goes wrong you must take responsibility for the loss of data that may happen. In the past I have resized my partitions and I have not needed to use the back-ups that I have made but it is still a wise thing to do. It is easier to back up your data than to recover corrupted data. We do not want your next question to be: "I lost all my files. How do I get them back?" — grahammechanical Dec 1 '11 at 18:42

@Sathya Yeah I'm not disagreeing it's spam. Posts that contain links there seem quite promotional (they are not worded like someone actually just happened to find a particular page on that site that they think might be useful), and there is no disclosure in the posts. I was just wondering if there's something people can put in edit summaries to make it clear to reviewers that removing them is right.
