2:03 PM

@ByteCommander changing the dependencies similar like this askubuntu.com/a/675647/367165

@kos figured that one out, by the way

xieerqi:$ find . -type f -regextype posix-awk -regex '^\./file1[a-z]{1,3}' 2>/dev/null
./file1abc
./file1ab

A.B.

@ByteCommander or this askubuntu.com/a/627459/367165

KGIII

@ParanoidPanda Technically, yes. However, not after this afternoon. The cat now has a home.

user136984

@KGIII: Good, I wasn't so sure about you feeding it cheerios! :D

KGIII

I didn't feed it Cheerios. SHE fed the infernal beast the Cheerios.

user136984

2:13 PM

:D

user136984

You don't like cats then I see? :P

A.B.

@ByteCommander sorry, apt-get is wrong, he have to download the Trusty versions.

KGIII

@ParanoidPanda No, not really. I'm not a big fan of cats. I'm a "dog man." I don't hate cats or anything. I just don't prefer them and don't really want one to live with me. It's okay to have it as a short-term guest, I suppose.

Ravan

@Tim here?

Ping me when you are here. :)

Tim

@Ravan yep, day off school!

Ravan

2:22 PM

Ah?

Very fast o_O

user136984

@KGIII: What about a "panda man"? :D

Serg

@A.B. askubuntu.com/a/700042/295286 Grep all the things !

KGIII

I am kind of partial to pandas but I don't think I should be allowed to have one as a pet.

user136984

@KGIII: No, you won't be its master, it will be yours! >:D

A.B.

@Serg =) The OP loves grep o_O

Byte Commander

2:26 PM

@KGIII There's a joke about the difference between cats and dogs:

KGIII

Unless I treat it nicely and then we might just be friends and not a master/servent relationship. It could happen.

A.B.

@ByteCommander done =) askubuntu.com/a/700040/367165

KGIII

Yes? @ByteCommander?

Serg

@A.B. yeah, probably because that's the only one they understand well enough so far . . .like me ! I understand AWK somewhat, but sed is my weakness . . . and grep . . . .

user136984

@KGIII: Don't you want it to train you in the ways of the dark side of the force?

KGIII

2:27 PM

@ParanoidPanda No, not really.

Byte Commander

A dog thinks:
"My humans - they feed me, they pet me, they love me. They must be gods!
A cat thinks:
"my humans - they feed me, they pet me, they love me. **I must be God!**

user136984

Pan?

user136984

:D

user136984

@KGIII: Well I do! I will become a Sith Lord, and eventually turn into a panda!

KGIII

@ByteCommander LOL Yup. Sounds about right. My dog will come in and put his head on my lap while I sit on the toilet. That's love, right there.

Byte Commander

2:28 PM

That... uhm... would be a bit too much love in my opinion though...

KGIII

@ParanoidPanda I don't know how to say this politely but pandas actually are too lazy or dumb to have sex with one another so we have to use artificial insemination! I don't wanna be that lazy!

@ByteCommander True but it's total love. That there's a dog. A cat just comes to visit when it wants something from you. A dog comes to see if you want something from it. :D

Byte Commander

@A.B. Why did you escape the dots only in the first half?

sed -i 's/libssl0\.9\.8/libssl1.0.0/' DEBIAN/control

A.B.

@ByteCommander The first part is the RegExp

. without a leading `\` means, any char.

KGIII

Alrighty, I must finish getting ready. I've some personal issues to attend to. I shall return this afternoon.

user136984

@KGIII: Actually, why don't they do that with pandas?

Byte Commander

2:32 PM

Aha, I know basic regex syntax, but I did not know about sed.

user136984

(Artificial insemination.)

user136984

@ByteCommander: You sed it!

user136984

;P

A.B.

@ParanoidPanda are you fine?

Byte Commander

@ByteCommander: Why not just get rid of the American one then so that we only have one proper one? >:P — Paranoid Panda 34 mins ago

@ParanoidPanda ^ Really? :P o.O

user136984

2:34 PM

@A.B.: No, probably not... :P

user136984

I didn't have much breakfast this morning because I kind of ran out of milk...

user136984

So maybe I should go and have some more now...

A.B.

@ParanoidPanda purge never removes your local config

user136984

So should I delete all the files they mention?

Serg

@ParanoidPanda

xieerqi@15:~$ ls /home/xieerqi/.config/tox
qtox.ini  serg-xie.ini   serg-xie.qtox_history.encrypted
qtox.log  serg-xie.lock  serg-xie.tox

user136984

2:39 PM

@Serg:

user136984

qtox.ini qtox.log TheNomad.ini TheNomad.qtox_history.encrypted TheNomad.tox

user136984

Is what I get.

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda NO do not !

hg8

@ParanoidPanda By the way, can I add you on tox?

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda You know that there also exist other nutrients besides lactose, casein and triacylglycerol, right?

Serg

2:42 PM

@ParanoidPanda Well , ini files are config files , so . . . if you remove them, you reset the config . . . @hg8 removes everything, so that's more general approach . . .I'd go with his solution . . .Personally, I'd try to remove .ini files one by one to determine which is the right one

hg8

@Serg I tried, and removing only the .tox file is not enough

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda Just move instead of REmove and you'll be save.

Serg

@hg8 Well,then . . . why don't we just . . . rm -rf .conf/tox ?

hg8

@Serg Removing the .ini is not enough either

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda @Serg : if you delete the ini - I think you have to reinvite all your contacts

Byte Commander

2:44 PM

> I have forgotten my password and wish to create a new profile, but also delete the old one

^ He has to do so anyway.

user136984

@cl-netbox: That's fine, I have no contacts! :D

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander yes if you forgot ...

Serg

@ParanoidPanda nuke it all, rm -rf .config/tox/*

hg8

@Serg +1

Byte Commander

That makes soooo much sense. A messenger without contacts.

hg8

2:46 PM

@ParanoidPanda If you had no contact nor conversation, you can delete the folder

cl-netbox

@Serg correct - but then you have to create a new profile and provide the new ID to all your contacts

smoke ... BRB

Byte Commander

Leaving for today - seeya!

hg8

Bye @ByteCommander

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander goodbye ! :)

Serg

There has to be a way to export all contacts form qtox , right ?

Ravan

2:53 PM

OMG tomorrow interview :\

I am still here o_O

hg8

@Serg export your .tox file

A.B.

namei - follow a pathname until a terminal point is found nice

hg8

is enough

Serg

When you click your own profile info in qtox, it says /home/.config/tox/PROFILE.tox is the actual profile, so that's the correct one that must be deleted , so you were right @hg8 Also I've figured the export out already

user136984

@ByteCommander: Bye! :)

Serg

2:55 PM

xieerqi:$ namei /home/xieerqi/testFile.txt
f: /home/xieerqi/testFile.txt
 d /
 d home
 d xieerqi
 - testFile.txt

@A.B. that's cool yo

xieerqi:$ namei /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
f: /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator
 d /
 d etc
 d alternatives
 l x-terminal-emulator -> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
   d /
   d usr
   d bin
   - gnome-terminal.wrapper

And it follows symlinks

A.B.

@Serg Nice tool

user136984

What does it mean to make qTox "portable"?

user136984

Rinzwind

@ParanoidPanda "port" means make it such that you can use it on more than 1 platform (Linux, Windows, Phone for instance)

Serg

@ParanoidPanda when you hover the mouse over that text, it says that config files will be saved in $(PWD) rather than in $HOME/.config

user136984

3:09 PM

@Serg: How does this make it "portable"?

Serg

@ParanoidPanda No idea . . .

Devs must have had their reasons

user136984

@hg8: How do I add people? :P

Rinzwind

@ParanoidPanda not every OS has a ~.config put it will have an installed path ;)

*but

hg8

@ParanoidPanda Click the little + on the bottom =)

user136984

Ok... Then what?

hg8

3:16 PM

Paste my id

user136984

@hg8: Ok, I've sent the request. :)

Serg

@ParanoidPanda Are you ready to add me ?

user136984

Sure! :)

hg8

@Serg May I add you back?

Serg

@hg8 you already have Oo

but sure

@ParanoidPanda done ? can i delete ?

hg8

3:21 PM

@Serg Yes but changed computer and forgot to export my profile...

user136984

@Serg: Yeah.

Serg

@hg8 shall I delete the old profile then ?

No, wait , it shows you are online now

hg8

@Serg Ah yes... Because I exported my profile before adding you... So I have the same id than before

Serg

@hg8 so . . . you don't need to reset password in any way if you export profile ?

hg8

@Serg, no it's the same password

seems like username, password and contact list is stored in <username>.tox

kos

3:26 PM

For the sake of my sanity, please tell how to make Bash inherit everything from the parent shell (environment variables, shell variables, alias, functions, options, everything).

Is there even a way?

Serg

@kos stackoverflow.com/a/20832592/3701431 Maybe ?

Rinzwind

askubuntu.com/a/700059/15811 NAA

kos

@Serg Thanks, but that only puts options set with set in the environment. I mean it's something, but I'd need all the rest as well

Serg

@kos well . . . . maybe dump everything you need into a file and then source it ?

kos

@Serg The unholy thing!!!

:D
