@Braiam thanks, I'll be sure to do that -i knew i should have gone the manual route

@Seth, I have added the picture, details on the dconf watch, and a new anomaly that may be unrelated but could leave to more understanding of my system, to the question posted.

Seth

@KLVTZ Okay great!

hey can anyone help me with wifi issues?

I have been looking at questions and answers on the dicsussion boards

but couldn't find quite the same issue

Reut Sharabani

what's the problem?

rcorty

nevermind -- in the style of my elementary school self, I have answered my own question just by walking up to the teacher's desk

@rcorty: that said, it might have helped to say what the issues are.

Is there a way I can pull a certain element out of a CSS class without JS? i.e. turn class inheritance off for a certain element?

FEichinger

@Seth Example?

Mateo

like

.something p {
foo: bar;
}

I blinked, missed it

Seth

@FEichinger I have a carousel that has a gradient as the background (the bootstrap default). That works fine for images, but when I don't have an image the gradient looks.. weird.

For now I just want to pull that text div out of the class with the gradient

@Mateo I might be able to do it that way.

Mateo

like delete it? you might try an # and tell it not to have the gradient

Seth

a #?

Hmm

Mateo

2:36 AM

an id

say the div is like this

make an rule in css,

#someting {
foo: bar;
}

Braiam

@Seth or use :not ;)

Seth

@Mateo Oh I see. Overide it with an id. That could certainly work.

Mateo

and add the id to your div:

<div class="blah" id="something">

Seth

@Braiam I was just reading about that ;)

Braiam

.someclass:not(img) developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/:not

Seth

2:38 AM

@Mateo Right.

Mateo

the id just apply to one object only, and I think it should override the class

Braiam

look at this gem askubuntu.com/questions/388126/…

Seth

@Mateo It will if I use !important

@Braiam @Braiam I think your comment there ~~will~~ can be misread.. account deletion and all.

FEichinger

@Seth Classic XY. Fix the gradient, don't make workaround-nonsense.

Seth

@FEichinger This isn't a "workaround". I can't "fix" the gradient because it should be the way it is except when text is displayed instead of an image.

Braiam

2:44 AM

should we accept the edit? seems like... mm.... dunno... either way it's asking for the "best", that is very subjetive

Mateo

@Seth would need to mess around with it

Braiam

@Seth .class:not(.text)?

Mateo

@Seth let us know if you put something up we can experiment with

@Utkarsh given the other issues with your kernel panics - this to me smells of hardware issues - possibly your PC is very old and slowly fading away and its time to pack it away for a newer model :/

"cipher suites" as in "authentication" --> auth

what's the background to the interface?

hbdgaf

cipher suites as in what iw would return as a list of support ciphers for auth.

Interface is so you could do something like:
i = Interface()
i.set_interface(phy=True, index=0)
j.create_logical(i)
if !j.mode('monitor'):
    print('your card doesn\'t appear to support monitor mode')
    quit()
insert scapy stuff...

fossfreedom

how do you actually connect? is that "up"? To my thinking keep the interface similar to iwconfig - with link/scan/connect etc

hbdgaf

9:35 AM

the actual connecting is association. assoc

fossfreedom

The interface is good - just it uses terminology I'm not famililar with when dealing with wireless issues.

hbdgaf

iwconfig, iw, and this would all try to do the same thing. i'm trying to map to iw though since it lets you touch all the tasty bits instead of trying to nice it up for you...which also addresses your concern in a way.

if i finish it, i'll add convenience functions that map to iwconfig commands.

fossfreedom

@hbdgaf in that case - get ready to receive your A* grade ;)

hbdgaf

ty.

is that pastebin searchable? i thought i posted it as not indexed, but it got like 20 hits in 5 minutes.

fossfreedom

looks like it is - there is a link at the top that says "trending pastes"

did you use "unlisted" ?

hbdgaf

9:42 AM

:/ oh well. i thought i did...

fossfreedom

too late to patent it

hbdgaf

patents cost money. if someone else implements it, it's fine. it's not like you can't deconstruct python anyway.

hbdgaf

it's searchable for sure. first result for iwpy in sitesearch. :/.

oh well... guess it comes down to:

Utkarsh

@Indian maybe your ram is too much less for ubuntu. provide us with more details

Journeyman Geek

also, what sort of freezing?

can you switch VTs?

(or, better yet, ask a question on the main site, and update as people suggest things to try!)

@JourneymanGeek I reinstalled the OS and it works quite nice

could anyone translate for me dobey's comment??

jokerdino

You said it is not a good idea to start translating. He said it is not as much a bad idea as you seem to claim.

Utkarsh

i think it must be deleted askubuntu.com/questions/46876/…

Avinash Raj

exact duplicate answer see askubuntu.com/a/51575/202806 and askubuntu.com/a/388320/202806

Braiam

3:58 PM

@jokerdino no, he's saying that I'm "wrong", and I'm saying that the release/translation team may not consider that start translating at this time is productive (yeah, I know I had to wording like is my own ideas)

If he want's I could ask the translation mailing list and get an authoritative answer, but that likely will take some days... -_-

jokerdino

if you aren't quoting their words, it is your own ideas.

and i agree with Dobey anyway

it is not a bad idea to translate strings right now anyway.

Braiam

4:10 PM

I would get very pissed if a string I translated change after the string freeze :(

I have a new issue to report. As of this morning, on startup, my entire Ubuntu system looked a little different.

yeah, it's a unique problem.

@Seth you using chrome or chromium?

@Utkarsh that looks like your face in a dark room, what is this picture for?

Sorry, but @Seth look at this: askubuntu.com/questions/388353/libreoffice-install - a post by you is mentioned...

Seth

@wilf Ah yes. Let me take a look.

I know what answer that is from. Unfortunately it is a hard one to keep up to date :)

Seems like I need to update it again

Seth

5:53 PM

Alright, I've updated my answer. We can close that as a dupe now.

@Braiam chat.stackexchange.com/… :P

Braiam

nah, forget it, is an extension that is causing a single domain to freeze, and now I have to figure out why...

Good luck :P

why this got a upvote? askubuntu.com/questions/385783/extras-for-ubuntu-13-10

@Braiam Because you can't get a reciprocal upvote for your answer if the user hasn't passed 15 rep... That would be my cynical view anyway.

@Oli sorry, but I don't see the relation of the question with "my" answer
