@edwardtorvalds Hi not much ... :)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox you can get much if you want :D

Q: How to use backspace as a shortcut in Nautilus to go up a directory or previous directory

I want to set Backspacekey as a short-cut that will either bring me up one directory (except for root) or will bring me back to the directory I was last in (which every is possible) in Nautilus. I am using Gnome 3.18

nautilus

@cl-netbox help me with this q

Q: KVM - qemu - virt-manager : How can I store files in the mounted shared folder?

I am running a Fedora Workstation virtual machine on an Ubuntu host. I created a folder /home/cl/share in the guest and mounted the shared folder /media/cl/system/virtual/share as root following the instructions from linux-kvm : mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L /host /home/cl/share ...

permissions kvm qemu virt-manager

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox maybe +1 it :)

I will take a look at it

@edwardtorvalds done ! :)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox done :)

@edwardtorvalds Thanks ! :)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox do you have any idea about my problem?

user136984

@ByteCommander: What happened to that rat (or was it a mouse?) by the way?

cl-netbox

@edwardtorvalds no sorry - unfortunately not ... :)

edward torvalds

@ParanoidPanda maybe you can help me out unix.stackexchange.com/questions/257830/…

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda maybe it was eaten by a big fat panda ? :D

Byte Commander

1:08 PM

@ParanoidPanda Rat? o.O???

What rat?

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander maybe the dupe rat ? :D Hi my friend ! :)

edward torvalds

why legit questions like this unix.stackexchange.com/q/254222/52733 get voted down :-/

@cl-netbox I dont have any idea about your question, never used kvm

Braiam

@Oli you tried in a private session?

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox maybe you can ask JennyD in U&L chat, she is a sysadmin

cl-netbox

@edwardtorvalds : Just curious - why do you wanna set the shortcut ?

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox because I roam a lot in my file system? and It is easy to go back with backspace?

user136984

@ByteCommander: I don't know, a long time ago you said that your parents were trying to catch a rat/mouse and that you actually hopped it didn't get caught. So now I'm curious, what actually happened to it? I think it was around the time you threatened to chain me up in your basement and force feed me broccoli... :P

cl-netbox

1:12 PM

@edwardtorvalds ah okay - why don't you use one of the F keys ?

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox sorry, F keys?

cl-netbox

@edwardtorvalds F9 for example ... just an idea - I never used any shortcut keys :)

user136984

@cl-netbox: Maybe, that's actually a possibility because they can also eat small mammals though they don't usually, or at least not as much as they eat the bamboo... :D

edward torvalds

Q: centos7 no entries for ubuntu 12.04 after update-grub

My server is running ubuntu 12.04 lts from /dev/sda3 (ext4). I experimented with centos 7 some time ago and that is on /dev/sda2 (xfs) and its grub is used for booting. It showed only the latest ubuntu version in the grub menu, but that is fine. I want the move from ubuntu to centos to be smooth...

edward torvalds

is there anyway to run a command when gnome session ends ? like playing a mp3 file?

user136984

2:01 PM

@edwardtorvalds: You mean when the user session ends?

user136984

I should think so though I never really looked into it...

edward torvalds

@ParanoidPanda yes

@ParanoidPanda when user clicks logout or restart or shutdown I want to play a sound

@ParanoidPanda or should I post it as a question?

user136984

I don't know, never done it before, have you tried searching for it on the main site?

@kos take a look here faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=edit&file=faq03.007.htp (gtk2) and here stackoverflow.com/questions/577302/…. It also seems related to a question I posted a while ago: stackoverflow.com/q/31035818/1391444 I will look into it tonight if not solved yet by then :)

@cl-netbox @ParanoidPanda please take a look at this cool problem askubuntu.com/q/726282/294611

me too, today

cl-netbox

@ParanoidPanda is it available in repos now ?

edward torvalds

ah! @terdon is here, HI, maybe you could help askubuntu.com/q/726282/294611

user136984

@cl-netbox: Yeah! :)

terdon

@edwardtorvalds DOn't have time to look into this now, sorry. You couold try adding a command to ~/.bash_logout though. That might work, but I'm not sure.

cl-netbox

@edwardtorvalds nice thing ... +1 ! :) but a problem ??? :D

edward torvalds

2:21 PM

ok

@cl-netbox did you see this? i.stack.imgur.com/zwN05.jpg

cl-netbox

@edwardtorvalds great - that's really funny ! :)

kos

3:06 PM

@JacobVlijm Thanks! Unfortunately that doesn't help (on a site note I had to change the namespace to Gtk for GTK+ 3 compatibility). Still same problem: with subprocess.call() the window is not shown, with subprocess.Popen() the window is shown but the label is changed immediatley (i.e. it doesn't wait for subprocess.Popen() before continuing).

user136984

I've just been spamming qTox with feature requests... :P

user136984

Well, that's probably how they feel about it anyway because I just got lots of ideas and started posting lots of posts about them! :D

kos

@JacobVlijm Don't know if you read the whole question, but I've also tried wrapping both into a function, running the function as a separate thread and waiting with Thread.wait(): no dice.

usmanayubsh

Am I supposed to do anything if someone asks a same question on both askubuntu and stack-overflow? Case in point, this askubuntu.com/questions/726300/… and this stackoverflow.com/questions/35039954/….

Like flag it as a duplicate or discourage this way through a comment.

Jacob Vlijm

@kos I did (read), but it really should be possible without a second thread. The thing is that the interface is not updated during a function ("by design" as it appears). I tried the trick, mentioned in the second link in different ways. I got the second window to appear, but only with a blank label, then updating the label only at the end.

kos

3:27 PM

@JacobVlijm Couldn't even do that... I put the loop inside the function running the subprocess, and the behavior didn't change: with subprocess.Popen it keeps executing, with subprocess.call it hides the window.

Jacob Vlijm

@kos I will have a decent look tonight...

kos

@usmanayubsh If it is on-topic on both sites vote to close / flag for closure with a custom reason on the site it has been posted later, linking to the other question in the custom reason; otherwise vote to close / flag for closure on the site where it's off-topic.

@JacobVlijm Thanks, if you have time. For the life of me I can't figure that out.

usmanayubsh

3:41 PM

Ok, thanks @kos. To me, it seems off-topic on Stack Overflow. What do you think?

kos

4:09 PM

@usmanayubsh Hmmm seems on-topic on both sites.

Ok @kos. Thanks. I was confused.

4:15 PM

@ParanoidPanda depends on your strategy. If you are playing a defensive game, build them on the inside. If you are expanding territory, outside works too.

user136984

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with qTox by the way? :)

Nathan Osman

@TheBrownOne awesome!

user136984

@Nathan: I normally just establish a perimeter city wall around the area that I want to claim first, and then I put the towers on the inside, I haven't really tried to expand yet, I just create a massive army and attack... :P

user136984

Which actually seems to work rather well because nobody can get into my city where I am creating them all...

user136984

Though I haven't ever actually won a game, I either get beaten or the AI with me wins before I can do anything... :(

user136984

4:17 PM

Nathan Osman

Ah, okay. That works. You can also garrison troops inside city walls towers as well.

user139252

It's amazing how many services don't have this awesome username taken.

@TheBrownOne Heather, I missed you changing your name here?

How can I disable print screen or screen recording

user139252

@Terrance Yes you did.

user139252

@MuditKapil If you're just using standard Unity, the "Print Screen" button will take one snapshot, save it to your Pictures, and then stop. It shouldn't be recording.

Terrance

@TheBrownOne I meant to ask, when did you change it? Silly me. =)

5:10 PM

@Terrance I'm pretty sure I spent $85 on an alternator for no reason. I can't figure it out :P

@TheBrownOne You might need a bigger gear for the pedaling so that the smaller gear on the alternator can spin fast enough to help generate power.

anyone using arch linux here?

Seth

I think @terdon is

terdon

Yes

edward torvalds

6:27 PM

@terdon second option to pacman -R are
-s, --recursive remove unnecessary dependencies
(-ss includes explicitly installed dependencies)
-u, --unneeded remove unneeded packages
what is difference between them?

terdon

@edwardtorvalds Ah, no idea. I haven't delved into pacman much yet. Try asking on U&L or dev/chat. We have a few Arch people there. Casey, who's online is one of them, I think.

edward torvalds

ok

terdon

@ByteCommander Not an issue, Orcas are dolphins, not whales.

@edwardtorvalds I would guess that the key here is the recursive though.

edward torvalds

ok

terdon

Ah, OK. I just read the manual. Seems reasonable. -s will remove both the specific package you told it to and any dependencies it might have, as well as any dependencies its (now removed) dependencies have.

The -u will remove a specific package only if no other package depends on it.

Don't rely on pacman -Rs, use man pacman. It's pretty good.

edward torvalds

6:34 PM

ok

user139252

6:50 PM

So, people truly believe the Earth is flat. Did I already mention that?

terdon

@TheBrownOne Ah, you found the flat earth society? I'm pretty sure most of them are just playing. Hell, people pretty much never believed the Earth was flat. The idea we have that people in the middle ages thought so is a myth. It's been known to be spherical since at least Ancient Greece.

Myth of the flat Earth

The myth of the flat Earth is the modern misconception that the prevailing cosmological view during the Middle Ages in Europe saw the Earth as flat, instead of spherical. During the early Middle Ages, virtually all scholars maintained the spherical viewpoint first expressed by the Ancient Greeks. From at least the 14th century, belief in a flat Earth among the educated was almost nonexistent, despite fanciful depictions in art, such as the exterior of Hieronymus Bosch's famous triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, in which a disc-shaped Earth is shown floating inside a transparent sphere...

Byte Commander

@terdon Isn't dolphins ∈ whales ?

BRB.

terdon

@ByteCommander No!

They're both cetaceans if I'm not mistaken but that's about it.

Yes, both cetaceans. However, whales are filter feeders while dolphins hunt.

7:06 PM

@ByteCommander here's a small psychological question for ya . . .when you post an answer here , how do you feel ? I mean, the amount of effort that you seem to squish out of your brain cells. Do you feel like answers come out naturally ? Also cc @terdon

terdon

@Serg It completely depends on the question. Some do, some don't. Some are obvious that I can whip up in a minute and some take research, testing and considerable effort. Those are the ones I'm proud of. Also, usually, the ones that get the fewest votes :)

Jacob Vlijm

@terdon which is very true!

terdon

Jacob is a case in point. I rarely vote for his answers, although they tend to look brilliant, because I don't know enough python to judge if it works without going out and testing. And since he tends to answer stuff that is non-trivial to reproduce, I end up not voting for him.

Which is a shame, I know.

Jacob Vlijm

@terdon nono, I also only vote if I *know* it is a good answer.
i must say the votes are nice, but the real satisfaction is when you get something done that seemed imposible at first.

terdon

I know. It's just that the few of yours I've actually taken the time to test have worked wonderfully so I'm pretty sure the others are good as well. Still, I won't vote unless I know :)

Serg

7:13 PM

See my curiosity is that when i do homework, it feels more stressful than answering stuff here

Jacob Vlijm

@Serg The fun part here that you simply put it aside if you feel to.

terdon

@JacobVlijm Heh, I know. I'm still proud of this SU answer. Have a look at the original question, the OP only wanted to convert source code to a single, printable file. I got a little carried away :)

@Serg Well, of course. If you can't find a good solution, you have the option of not answering. Unlike homework.

LaTeX is another thing I would like to put in my bag of knowledge.

Q: Unmounting external drive takes tremendously long

This morning I copied around 200GB of data to a quite old USB2.0 1TB external drive. The copying took around 2 or 3 hours. Afterwards I unmounted & the unmounting is still going on (after more than 12 hours). It should not be related to this problem since I only have 4GB of RAM. And I don't thin...

ubuntu external-hdd lubuntu unmounting

Byte Commander

@Serg I totally agree @terdon here. Those who require research or intensive dialogues to find out what's the problem are the ones you're proud of most, but the easy ones which everybody could have answered (but you were faster or had a nicer writing style than the others) get the most views and votes. However, I like to be proud of my stuff! :D

@ParanoidPanda You're in fear of bad virtual karma? ;D

user136984

@ByteCommander: I don't know, it just kinda feels like cheating... And if I did win, then it wouldn't feel like it was a proper win because it wasn't a fair fight, though maybe it would be if I set it to me level... :P

Byte Commander

8:16 PM

But placing a half-god on your side and letting it do all the work is less unfair? You're strange sometimes...

user136984

@ByteCommander: I know it sounds strange, but it just feels like when I change the opponent’s level down that I'm hacking the enemy to make them weaker and 'cheating', but when I am putting a 'half-god' on my side as you put it, it feels more like I'm just making a shield around me... :P

user136984

Maybe I should make the opponent’s level on "Tutorial AI"...

I've never tried that...

DeepMind won at Go

Serg

@ByteCommander I like to be proud of the amount of research and effort I put into my answers as well. For example , that EOF answer. It's taken quite a lot of time, and has been bothering me for years, till i figured it out

And yet it got way too few votes and attention

Jacob Vlijm

@kos I came to the conclusion it must be done in a separate thread, I need to look into some older stuff to see what exactly the construction should be. Must be on a day my mind is not too occupied... let me know if you find the solution in the meantime.

Serg

But what I'm saying is that . . . there is different feeling . . . Like , I don't feel any resistance when I answer AU questions. I just go for it, as much as I can. Even if I don't know, i try to research

Seth

@Serg I think it's an attitude thing, probably. I struggle with it to sometimes.

@ParanoidPanda On medium the AI get 1.5 resources to your 1, so technically putting it on "easy" is making it fair.

Serg

8:43 PM

@Seth I don't know , could be attitude. Or maybe i chose wrong major after all

Seth

@Serg that's always a possibility too. I know I'm finding that I enjoy programming as a hobby, but I don't think I'd want to be a programmers. I'm more of a sysadmin, infosec kinda mindset.

although, believe it or not, if I had to be a developer I'd want to be a web dev :P

user136984

@Seth: Ah, so it doesn't change anything other than the amount of resources the enemy AI has?

Jacob Vlijm

@Serg to be honest, imo you should not depend on attention or votes. If a single person is happy with it, I am satisfied, no matter the amount of work. Of course votes are nice, but don't depend on it.

Serg

@JacobVlijm And I don't depend on votes, i am happy if people find my stuff useful, but at the same time i want to have certain level of proof that I've achieved something.

Seth

@ParanoidPanda not exactly. Obviously the AI's play is going to be effected by that.

Just start on easy. Once you can beat easy 1x1 try 1x2, then 1x3. Then maybe medium.

user136984

@Seth yeah, i'd probably be better at IT stuff. But when i started college , i didn't know anything, didn't evenknow what i am good or not good at.

Seth

@ParanoidPanda besides the resources? I don't know.

Mateo

I think changing the resources it a terrible way of changing the dificulity

they should have a tactics change instead

Seth

@ParanoidPanda and make sure you play with multiple civs too, don't get stuck working with one or you'll lose when you don't play with it.

What's a good strategy?

user139252

I always seem so slow.

user139252

I never have enough resources for anything

Jacob Vlijm

@Serg I support the voting system, but a proof it hardly is, on a per question base. I've seen perfectly not working answers happlily gain votes, and good answers ignored. The first one I make an answer for is me, wanting it yo be perfect for my own mind.

Serg

@JacobVlijm eh, true . . . have seen that happen as well. I'm more concerned with my own answers so far, i mean, i want to have something to show to express my level of knowledge (which is not that high by the way , but i'm learning )

Mateo

@TheBrownOne spend a lot of time getting people and send your first out for food, then a bunch for trees, more and more people, more and more fields, then start upgrading and cranking out the soldiers

Seth

8:59 PM

@TheBrownOne Don't ever stop. Make sure you have a strong food and wood support, since those are the most essential resources. Build houses first, then build a barracks. Jump to town, build defences and put people on stone, metal. Jump to city, build a fortress and then attack.

Serg

<--- This idiot right here is clocked out, and now should not forget that he has classes after work at 3:30 , like last monday

Seth

But don't ever stop!

There is no "resting" for the player in 0 A.D. :P

Fabby

/update-room-topic "General discussion around 0 A.D. and if time allows, Ubuntu & its official derivatives"

;-)

Hello all!

Seth

@Fabby :P

Jacob Vlijm

Ha @Fabby

Fabby

9:06 PM

The orange one is around and awake!

(Stealing the wife's tablet again???) ;-) @JacobVlijm

Jacob Vlijm

@Fabby you understand the situation :) still partially vertically :)

Fabby

@JacobVlijm :D

@Zacharee1 isn't around, so I won't make any snide remarks about that now...

>:-)

user139252

Oh hai @Fabby! =D

Byte Commander

o.O I think I've missed something in an earlier chat of you two...

But hi @Fabby anyway!

Fabby

@TheBrownOne Hi!

user139252

9:14 PM

Still no love poems, but maybe this afternoon!

Fabby

@ByteCommander Which two?

@TheBrownOne :D

user139252

Facebook is dumb. I spend all this time making a nice logo, and they go and turn transparency into white.

Fabby

@TheBrownOne I've deleted my account of the FaceBag since Snowden's revelations...

Byte Commander

@Fabby The blue facepalm statue and the orange square. :P

Fabby

no changing icons, no moral self-licensing: delete that stuff

:-)

@ByteCommander Ah, yes!

Yesterday Zacharee1 was groaning loudly that I asked Jacob what he meant with "going horizontal": sex or sleep

Byte Commander

9:19 PM

Fabby

@ByteCommander Good man! The only FaceBook you'll ever need!

;-)

user139252

Unfortunately, it's all anyone in my area uses to communicate

user139252

What?!?

user139252

That's silly.

Fabby

9:22 PM

FaceBook is now into strongarming you to try to get you sign up...

No FB account? No access for you!

(even to publicly posted stuff)

user139252

I really don't like them.

Fabby

@TheBrownOne I didn't like FaceBook neither. Then came Snowden. Then I disliked them. Then I deleted my account. Now I have less dislike and more happiness in my life! :-)

user139252

You can't even delete your account these days.

Zacharee1

Sigh

user139252

You can "disable" it, so that you stop showing up in searches and on friends' lists and things, but if you ever try to sign in again, it loads everything back up like you never left.

Fabby

9:26 PM

@TheBrownOne And after 6 months of not looking, it gets deleted...

@Zacharee1 Some Tting Wong?

user139252

Ah, I didn't know about that part.

user139252

This is the first time I've used it in over a year, and I used a new email address.

Fabby

@TheBrownOne Ah? So you created another account?

user139252

Yeah, the other one was on an outdated email I haven't even checked for 3+ years.

Mateo

I deleted everything first, then changed the e-mail in the account and the name, then disabled it.

Fabby

9:30 PM

@Mateo Better then me: I downloaded everything, then disabled.

Byte Commander

@Fabby Same here. :)

Fabby

(OTOH: they had to keep my useless rants in their DB for another 6 months)

:-)

Byte Commander

Guys, it's getting late. I've got to go.

blade19899

Gnome Planner hasn't been updated since 2011. That, is one app that just needs to be maintained, every month!

Byte Commander

Seeya! o/

blade19899

9:31 PM

@ByteCommander Bye!

Fabby

@ByteCommander tschüss!

If anyone has any close votes left: close this Minty question

Serg

Soooo, i was just looking around and . . . If i can beat down 4 more classes, i can haz a computer science minor !

Just 4 classes, 2 semesters

Fabby

@Serg What's your major then?

Serg

Electrical engineering technology

Fabby

9:46 PM

@Serg Erm, I know Electronic Engineering and Electrical Engineering, but what is EET?

(just asking because I have no clue)

user139252

@Fabby It's magic.

Fabby

@TheBrownOne Oh? I thought you had to take a Masters in Mathe-magic to get that kind of degree!

;-) :P

user139252

Don't make fun of my bad jokes!

user139252

D=

Fabby

@TheBrownOne I don't think it's a bad joke: IMHO it's smart and funny!

user139252

9:51 PM

Thank you.

user139252

@Fabby Did you see my new, non-template based site?

user139252

I tried to keep the jquery to a minimum just for you :P

Fabby

looking now...

@TheBrownOne Meh, it shows something without jscript and provides a useful service, so I've added it in my allowed sites...

@TheBrownOne I think I saw it already...

about a week ago? Or am I dreaming???

user139252

No, I just uploaded last night.

user139252

Not my regular one, my services one.

user139252

9:55 PM

This page

Fabby

@TheBrownOne :O

never seen that one before!

Cool design!

All home-brewn?

user139252

The only difference between with Javascript and without is the top navbar doesn't collapse down if you disable Javascript

Fabby

That should be a shining example to @Zacharee1!

Works with and without JavaScript!

Javascript just adds some jazz!

Looks cool! Looking forward to my FisrstnameLastname.tk web site! >:-) @TheBrownOne

user139252

Thank you :D

Fabby

BTW: the chocolate shade is a bit better then yesterday's!
