does cmake afford you a way to determine your environment? if it does, then you could throw anything with a makefile - a script run... whatever. so, it's no big thing. the problem with cmake is that it is cross-platform.

I've come to the conclusion that CMake makes some simple things difficult and some difficult things simple.
I think I've got something that works though.

hrm, the framework I was using for my scope is obsoleted, and the sdk doesn’t have the one that isn't... this is going to be intresting

Nothing like a version bump to fix something.
For the record, the 2buntu app also uses the 14.10 SDK.
I think we were having issues with earlier versions too.

yeah, they pushed a bunch of the dev frameworks off the list

Man, the Internet has gone crazy here.
I can't make any outbound connections.
But I had an RDP session open, which is what I'm using to chat right now.
It seems like existing connections are working fine, but anything new is dropped.
Hrm... maybe that isn't the problem.
It seems more like it's DNS lookups that are failing.

I just, probably in poor judgement, talked back a little at Michael Hall on G+. I think his trumpeting of U-touch is nice, but the articles he's touting would really get more coverage if someone with a significant amount of followers just tweeted the site as a whole instead of piecemeal touting individual articles.
 
Mateo
Mateo
ah, I don't get on there often
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
I use it as a real news funnel. Facebook is for drama, the people I follow on G+, I follow with a modicum of respect. If they have something to say, I genuinely want to hear it. So, it's sort of a weird place for me to talk.
 
Mateo
Mateo
huh, I wasn't following him. anyway there was this cool article about container data centers that Jorge put up
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
yeah, most everything Jorge puts up is relatively cerebral or really needs to be said - like good budget video cards - etc etc
 
Mateo
Mateo
so just as I was about to create templates with the channel names on Ardour, they were like, hey lets try Reaper for windows - so ok, switch over on the dual-boot fire up the 60 day trial, and the licence cost seems reasonable for paid software 60 for a non-for-profit, but then there is the think that they really aren't wanting to spend money right now...
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
12:42 PM
@Mateo I still owe you for that BL2 license. After I cover my rent for the year, I plan on a gift card on that one - since it didn't turn out to be as easy as I'ld hoped and I really had to be working on other things.
You have something that has a pledgie or whatever?
 
Mateo
Mateo
It looks just as good, but you still have to assign tracks inputs/outputs then make templates, name them and all that. I'm not sure they know that all the magic is someone setting down at a computer making it work
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
@Mateo hah - did you see the discussion of the openshot funding horribly poor timing for bad things happening debacle? people seem a little irritated, but it seems to me that it is without much grounds.
 
Mateo
Mateo
@hbdgaf hm, I don't think I set that up. I have a bitcoin address on my profile, but would need to boot into my 12.04 to to check it
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
oh, i don't have any bitcoin laying around atm... i was trying to find a way to put something on a project. nobody wants to contribute to a project that has zero backers - so trying to get you over that hump. i've donated to myself before just so that stigma doesn't apply ;)
 
Mateo
Mateo
yeah, hm. I did that bluetooth script. that was a fun thing, but It is pretty much doing all it is going to do. because a) dosn't work on iThings b) I have no real use for it right now
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
12:49 PM
yeah, the ithings bluetooth stack is really broken. because they don't allow "send to bluetooth" sorts of stuff - the ithings don't even work with photo kiosks. status: by-design
 
Mateo
Mateo
1:01 PM
@hbdgaf how is your main project going?
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
More of the same. It's progress, but it feels like a wall. I'm at a point where I have to build the reduction set parts. So, not knowing which ones to build is the problem. You spend time building each one - most of the challenge is building the right ones two thirds of the time so you don't just get a bunch of poor results. I'm debating about spending more time on that graph to visualize reductions in the nearish future.
On the bright side, I found a question on SO about calling talib with random strings and picked up another star on github.
 
Mateo
Mateo
ah, cool
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
I guess 3 stars for something so niche - only two really count since I know one of them - is something.

@hbdgaf: what do you like about this comment then?

hbdgaf

1:23 PM
anyone have any thoughts on this
 
Mateo
Mateo
@hbdgaf huh, don't you usually just type python3, and what would that alias do for changing the install version?
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
if the installer inspected the "run name" that launched it then checked usr/bin/env for the appropriate launcher - you could wind up with a problem. the user hasn't tried using python3 explicitly yet...
@Mateo you're SUPPOSED to just type python3. aliasing is something that arch does that the pep tells you not to do. so, it doesn't sound like a proper ubuntu question.
 
Mateo
Mateo
yeah, because just python already exists so...
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
The theory is to use 'python' when it's python 2 and 'python3' when it's 3.x for clarity. Evidently some people disagree on sanity.
 
Mateo
Mateo
that is what I was always doing
 
hbdgaf

if you feel like it... sure. if he needs a newer version, that would explain what you're asking though - so it might not be THAT productive.
 
Fabby

@hbdgaf: have you looked at the root GUI guy's response?
 
hbdgaf
hbdgaf
It's a legitimate response, but we've talked about it before at length... let me dig it up
4
A: When I create an account without password, Ubuntu still asks for it!

hbdgafNot TOO bad ideas, but still not recommended: In order to get a no password at login for the gui, you use the autologin options for your login manager lightdm or gdm. lightdm system settings - user accounts - your username - automatic login lightdm is the default, so check the gdm docs if you're...

So, you need to know which root login approach it happening to fix it. Since a single purpose box is almost certainly auto-login.

after using whisker menu in xfce for so long
just switching from xubuntu to ubuntu-mate now but.... im gonna have to go back maybe
compiz is hideous too
just slow and ugly
xfce window manager was so nice and lightweight
In lubuntu I used to use xcompmgr a long while back but ... i remember seeing something about a newer nicer xcompmgr
I can't find it on google though
I remember xcompmgr being like... outdated and not supported anymore and everyone was moving to some new thing....
If I could just use like metacity still in mate... I guess that might work
but i've no clue what Im gonna do about the matemenu that thing is horrifying
can't resize it or nothing
it's just there -- in your face -- accept me as I am -- haters gonna judge type thing
