I envy people with golden badges already with just 65 rep...
over 200 answers in 4 months. not bad, right?
 
Definitely a good stat.
 
still 20+% not upvoted for... but now I tend to avoid questions probably not getting upvotes for answers.
 
things like that is a bit of a discouraging factor i know.
i learnt a lot from the website. i try to give back when possible
 
I've learned a lot without using SE. I'm willing to share knowledge. I even use my own answers for future reference now. A lot better then putting this in my homedir.
I still need to learn to avoid answering Qs being asked for over a month ago by accident.
they appear up in the Active list of Qs just because some anonymous Community user decided to touch it....
 
heh
at some point of time, you'll get tired of reputation points.
anyway, i need to get some sleep.
 
6:16 PM
I'm out too. bye :)
and when I'm back I want to see I've hit the rep cap again. hehe.
 
Night @jokerdino and @gertvdijk
 
6:36 PM
@iSeth it's just 7.35pm here
anyway... I just got this in my inbox...
I like you very much now. Gimme a kiss :* +1 — ppumkin 1 min ago

@gertvdijk O_o
 
Hello. Is there any way to get a sound for mouse click in LXDE?
 
@Sebastian hi there! maybe. but why?
 
I want a sound for mouse click.

ah. you already asked? it shows up in google!

Q: Sound on mouse click Lubuntu 12.04

SebastianI want to hear a sound when I click with my mouse. (From the speakers) Is there any way to play a sound when I click? Lubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin"

 
6:47 PM
I know... But there are no answers...
 
well, I meant, you could at least link your outstanding question in your chat message. :) because I don't know
and you've given it just 3 hours...
 
OK :)
 
I starred your message and your Q is pretty big here in the chat now. Now just wait. :)
 
:)
 
@Sebastian Also, adding more tags really helps.
 
6:52 PM
You mean add more tags on the Ask Ubuntu?
@iSeth Thanks for tags :D
 
@Sebastian np :)
 
And again a question... :D I see in a YouTube video that a people rotated through the workspaces with compiz but I haven't have that plugin. He was able to "rotate" the workspaces in 3D...
I already installed compiz-plugins
 
Sorry, I don't mess with compiz :/
 
Then I search in Google :D
 
good idea
 
7:11 PM
Compiz is soooooo 2007
@Sebastian Wait for a few days, invest some time in the website, gain some reputation, and you'll be able to put a bounty on your question if it's not answered properly to receive more attention. For now, I would recommend you to "pimp" your question a bit. What have you tried, what didn't work, what happened instead, why you want it, etc. etc.
the chances will then be higher someone will actually take the time to answer it.
 
@strings The reason kernel services, when you have true microkernel architecture, can have limited capabilities is because a true microkernel fully implements protected memory and runs kernel services in "user space." This is what makes it meaningful that they don't run as root. root is still all-powerful.
@Oyibo I don't know what that's in reference to. (If it was really meant for someone else or I otherwise don't have to know, please feel free to disregard.)
 
7:27 PM
@EliahKagan right, but at-least with it has the ability to do this. mind you with things like fuse linux kinda gets around it at times.
I think fuse is a good example, of the potential of a micro kernel.
 
@FEichinger Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. :P

@iSeth Hush you! :P
 
that's funny though.
Its also why I don't like urban dictionary
 
some mod around here?
can some mod tell me what/why my comment was edited? askubuntu.com/questions/239679/…
 
7:41 PM
@gertvdijk Bruno is in the regulators room ;)
 
I know, he read it already... being discussed there first
 
oh, OK.
 
can you not see a diff on edited comments?
 
no you can't.
 
it's also not showing up in the timeline. including other changes.
 
7:46 PM
that's the hand of a mod I guess
 
the system thinks those are ninja edits... yet not by the same user...
 
@EliahKagan ah apologies, was meant for FEichinger XD
 
Hello guys
PLease take a look at this. I want to create GIT Gui here in context menu. What am I doing wrong? i.imgur.com/KTgI2.png
Anyone there?
@Oyibo @iSeth friends, please help me with my problem
stucled at this point
 
@Oyibo Wut?
 
8:01 PM
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev would not something like rabbitvcs.org be better?
 
@strings I don't want extra heavy package for just one simple thing
Git gui is all in one solution
just one make it easy with adding item into context menu
 
fair enough
 
@FEichinger oh wait no I'm getting completely confused, thinking people were talking about different posts....can't keep track when conversations extend over several hours, ignore my useless chat :P
2
 
lol
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev what tool is that? git gui looks a lot different with me
 
8:05 PM
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev sorry, I don't use Git GUI.
 
@FEichinger was referring to: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/201?m=7611767#7611767 because I thought I'd mispinged Eliah with that
 
@gertvdijk has context menu item?
 
'git gui' == 'gitk' on my system...
 
hey @iSeth do you have any idea what HP cleanup means? I'm clueless

Q: Context menu git gui here command

Tural Teyyuboglu AliyevWhat I want to achieve is, to get "Git GUI here" item in context menu. It's simple in terminal: cd "path/to/current/folder" git gui So I'm using Nautilus Actions COnfigurator app to achieve this: But it doesn't work. It just open GIT GUI. Not in current diretory. What am I doing wrong, can ...

 
@Oyibo HP Cleanup? Can I have some context please :)
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev ah... nautilus. blegh.
 
well I was searching for an old post of mine in chat, and stumbled across Jorge's post saying: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/201?m=5455417#5455417
@iSeth and yeah I know Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. (Better say it before you do...) 8D
 
lol
@Oyibo "Home Page" cleanup?
 
yeah then I don't get the "crushing my votes" bit :P
 
8:10 PM
the best way is to ask @JorgeCastro himself ;)
 
I'll just ask him next time we're both online I guess
 
Maybe close votes?
i.e. your edits are nullifying my close votes?
 
might be, still don't get the "Home page" though unless I'm being particularly slow tonight and I've missed something :P
 
shrug
 
@iSeth I'd better get back to working, I'll ask Jorge next time, I'll keep you posted on what it means, learning quite a few acronyms here: IANAL being the first of many I guess :P bb
 
8:15 PM
@Oyibo Yeah, I've learned alot here too. See you later!
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev sorry for being silly. gitk is not git gui. something's fishy on my machine!
 
8:36 PM
@gertvdijk ]hey man
I found problem
3
%d is parent directory
not current one
but
what is variable of current one
omg
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev what about cd %d && git gui ?
 
@gertvdijk you comment works but %d is 1 directorry upper position
wait I'll try it
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev does not make sense.
 
what is this parent directory? your homedir by coincidence?
 
8:39 PM
if I open GIT GUI inside ...parent/child
it opens gui in parent directory
not in child
clear?
root/someGitFolder/ I execute function here
it opens git gui inside root
ok?
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev no, totally unclear. please update your question with some details. it's not making sense to me. and I don't have nautilus and this tool...
 
@gertvdijk facepalm
ok. forget about it
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev I hope someone else does understand it. I've pimped your question - hope I didn't edit it with something not true. i was assuming some things there
I'm out again. see you later :)
 
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev did you go throught the docs? file:///usr/share/doc/nautilus-actions/html/C/nact/nautilus-actions-config-tool.html#usage-execution-parameters gives you all available parameters.
 
8:59 PM
@TuralTeyyubogluAliyev see my answer
this only works for right clicking a directory. might have issues with click say inside the current folder.
you really dont need gnome-terminal etc.
 
9:10 PM
actually that works for display item in location context menu as well.
 
9:35 PM
I was hoping that my answer would get downvoted to oblivion, but it hasn't got a single downvote yet! Can't people see that example question three really is not appropriate for our community? If the only thing that makes a programming question on-topic is that the programmer happens to run Ubuntu, but it could be any other OS, it really shouldn't be here, but on SO. — Flimm 1 hour ago
You don't see that first line often.
 
I dunno, how many programming questions are there really?
 
@strings not that much. but it would be nice to have a statement about it. it's pretty vague.
 
ya, its to broad a topic, but my guess is if they are asking here instead of SO, its because there using ubuntu, and have asked questions here before.
guess letting them know about SO is good.
 
@Sebastian I see your question is closed now. Did you try the instructions from the duplicate?

A: How should we interpret "Development on Ubuntu" in the FAQ?

Eliah KaganIn my opinion, questions about using programming tools should be considered on-topic. Questions about the art of programming should be considered off-topic unless they are about Ubuntu or about something that's different in Ubuntu. This can alternatively be enumerated with two "buckets." If a qu...

 
I hope @EliahKagan has made Ctrl+Q a shortcut for "Question". Damn.
@EliahKagan yes that one

"Earned 200 daily reputation 50 times" <-- just a silver badge?! askubuntu.com/badges/42/epic

10:27 PM
@gertvdijk Yes, it's not nearly as impressive as this gold badge. :)
 
so much more than failing
@gertvdijk oh, we have 2 users now... That thing used to be fossfreedom's earned right! :)
(was gold before btw)
 
@BrunoPereira could be worse could have been rm -rf /
 
@Alvar doesn't work that simple anymore, gives a warning... if the users are stupid enough to press enter after that its their own stupidity's fault ;)
 
@BrunoPereira noooo !
 
(not sure on a pure tty though, should it be the same?)
 
10:33 PM
Going to Barcelona tomorrow! :)
 
hey, awesome!
have muchas cervezas while thinking about me ;)
 
hmm 6 hours left before i have to get up, I should probably sleep now...
@BrunoPereira thinking of you?! NEVER! ;)
 
@Alvar I am sure you do! :D
 
haha
:D
well cya all! :)
btw dont ruin the meta post!
 
@Alvar neva! goes look for it
 
10:40 PM
how can I invite a user to join chat? either here or a in a separate room?
I'm getting these kind of comments sometimes...
I have a Samsung with similar disk sizes. Having 8Gb of RAM, where do you advice to put swap, and what size? — Alexandre Neto 9 mins ago
 
@gertvdijk Well in that case they have enough reputation to enter chat themselves. It may not be necessary to invite them. You could just make a room and then ping them in a comment with a link to it, and they can enter it if they wish.
If you want to invite them, you do it from their chat profile page.
For someone with less than 20 rep, you can invite them into your own room this way.
 
@EliahKagan ah okay, thanks :)

@Mochan This is the issue you were having. Stumbled upon it by coincidence. askubuntu.com/questions/41118/…

Q: Should a question ever be considered for migration in anticipation of closure and merging?

Eliah KaganWhen a question is cross-posted here and another Stack Exchange site, and it gets good, valuable answers on both sites, is it appropriate to flag one of them for migration so it can then be duped and merged? Here's an example (also on Unix.SE).

 
@gertvdijk gotcha. I'm going to try some of the other answers in this question first, but failing that I'll use the one from virtualbox.org. Why are so many of the apps in the Ubuntu repo are crippled when the generic versions are not? /rant — weberc2 6 mins ago
@weberc2 I don't know. it should just work...
5 more rep to go for the rep cap...
