in bash ?

Serg

hold on hold on

Severus Tux

okay

Serg

wget --progress=bar --show-progress ftp.belnet.be/videolan/vlc/2.2.4/win32/vlc-2.2.4-win32.exe 2>&1 | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) if($i~/\%/) { sub(/\%/,"",$i); print $i; fflush()}}' | zenity --progress

There

So, awk buffers its output . What fflish does is it sends output to pipe immediately

@KazWolfe congrats on 10k

Andrea Lazzarotto

@Serg let me see that message

Serg

@AndreaLazzarotto askubuntu.com/questions/818266/aircrack-mi-serve-aiuto

@SeverusTux the only problem now is that closing the zenity dialog, doesn't stop wget. So you either have to do it manually or use --auto-kill option for zenity

Severus Tux

15:04

@Serg thank you :)

Serg

@SeverusTux no, thank you ! this will be useful for my scripts as well

Severus Tux

;P

Andrea Lazzarotto

@Serg, done

Anwar

evening all

Andrea Lazzarotto

I am quite surprised Google Translate got "describe me" correctly, given that there was an extra space in "descrivetemi" → "descrive temi" which are two separate and valid italian words :P

Serg

15:07

Hi Anwar

Anwar

Hi :)

edwinksl

@AndreaLazzarotto thanks for translating! :D

Serg

@AndreaLazzarotto google works in mysterious ways :D

Anwar

@KazWolfe congrats for joining 10k club :)

Andrea Lazzarotto

Do throw useful tidbits at me because I'm still new to this entire intern demigod-like powers thing

jokerdino

@Kaz hi

Kaz Wolfe

Anwar

I forgot what I got at 10k

Zanna

moderator toolz

Anwar

there was review tools, instant tag edit

jokerdino

@Anwar terrible posts and some depression pills

Anwar

@jokerdino ha ha

Kaz Wolfe

15:16

@jokerdino Where do I get the latter?

Serg

i need some heart pills today probably

Kaz Wolfe

I have a giant 309 in my menubar and I hate it.

jokerdino

@KazWolfe /tools page probably

cl-netbox

Heya @jokerdino ! :)

jokerdino

hi @cl-netbox

cl-netbox

15:16

Hi @KazWolfe ! :)

Kaz Wolfe

o/ @cl-netbox

since when did i become a popular user lol

Anwar

Oh. The eye with the ability to see deleted post

is there any way to hide those deleted posts for 10k users? @jokerdino

jokerdino

don't think so

Anwar

An option would be nice

Serg

ppl be starring my github repo for the indicator, wooo \ 0/

Zanna

15:20

like 4 times this week I accidentally wrote an answer when I meant to write a comment because of my fat fingers

Anwar

I did it once from mobile

Serg

@Zanna happens, especially on mobile

For the record editing on mobile is pain

Zanna

yeah it was on mobile and yes I agree editing is really a pain and also the formatting is horrible

Anwar

bounty won't change the answer to Yes I think

agreed

Severus Tux

@Serg but fflush() is working weirdly ! , when used, it wont output continuously. That is, I get the output like 00001111222 "a pause" ... after some time.. 3333344445555666 ...

Kaz Wolfe

15:23

@Anwar Anything can change something to yes if you're willing to break everything

cl-netbox

@SeverusTux Hey guys @Serg @SeverusTux - if ever I get a clue what all this is good for ... hahaha :D What is the benefit ? :D Or is it just for testing things ?

Anwar

@KazWolfe I was editing it

Kaz Wolfe

oh, sorry.

just push your own, it's probably better

I just patch problems with scotch tape until someone brings the duck tape.

Severus Tux

@cl-netbox could used anywhere . Some graphical application where you need to show the download progress of something.

Anwar

ok. yours one is better

cl-netbox

15:28

@ParanoidPanda Still baking ? ... or still eating ? ... or did you find the time to install arch the last weekend ? :D In case you did - was it successful ? :D

Serg

@SeverusTux what is your awk version ?

Severus Tux

What ?? Panda installing Arch :D cool... I get company

Serg

@cl-netbox it's basically creating a download progress bar

Severus Tux

GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.4-p1, GNU MP 6.1.1)

cl-netbox

@SeverusTux I didn't say he already installed it ... he just talks about switching to arch very often in the last time ! :)

Severus Tux

15:30

@Serg

Anwar

@Zanna you answer one recently like this question askubuntu.com/q/818260/61218 i think?

was trying to vtc as dupe.

Kaz Wolfe

to be fair, arch has a much better wiki

but we have AskUbuntu.

Anwar

No doubt

Best Wiki on the Internet I think

Zanna

@Anwar it wasn't me, but I think I remember seeing the question you mean

let me have a look

Severus Tux

any freeBSD users here ?

Serg

15:36

@SeverusTux I have freeBSD in virtualbox, but don't use it lately

Severus Tux

is there a SE site for freeBSD?

Serg

Nope

Severus Tux

:(

Serg

@SeverusTux regardless of how fflush() prints, does it show zenity progress ? that's what's important

jokerdino

@SeverusTux Unix & Linux

cl-netbox

15:37

@Serg FreeBSD is not very convenient to install and use ... or did this change lately ?

Serg

@cl-netbox freeBSD ? Eh, compared to opensuse it was a bit better install, but you have to set up a lot of things yourself. Definitely not for new users

cl-netbox

@Serg I agree ... checked it out once and was not convinced ! :)

Severus Tux

@Serg Yes :)

cl-netbox

Hey @ByteCommander ! :) How were the holidays ? :)

Severus Tux

@jokerdino nice :) it has 800 questions.

Anwar

15:41

NAA

Serg

bye guys o/ gonna go shave and get my life in order

Zanna

there is an NAA under one of my answers from OP, it says "thank you so much now I understand" hahaha

hehe enjoy @Serg :)

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg byeeeee

Anwar

@Serg cya

Kaz Wolfe

AAAAH I SEE ALL THE DELETIONS ;-;

Zacharee1

15:51

This is why there are so many mint questions here

I came here because Mint is built on Ubuntu. One cannot get questions answered from Mint groups. All you get in response are a bunch of people who are giving you information that has nothing whatsoever to do with the original question. One cannot get any information beyond the very basics. Most of the admins are rude and act like they are some kind of deity. I figured that the base of Mint was Ubuntu so I would look toward the Ubuntu groups for answers. I google for hours looking for the info before I post in a group. Sorry my question was off topic. Please delete my account here. — Curt Guldenschuh 1 hour ago

Kaz Wolfe

Okay to be fair.

I've asked Mint questions here a few times, just not mentioning the fact that it's Mint.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe you little cheat

Kaz Wolfe

The answers work just fine, but then again I know what would and wouldn't work and when the problem is broader or not.

Zacharee1

dupe askubuntu.com/questions/818296/…

Kaz Wolfe

I get why we block off Mint problems, but that doesn't mean the question is bad or doesn't apply to Ubuntu.

Zacharee1

15:53

@KazWolfe yeah. the problem is it might work fine, but we can't know, and we might end up going through stupid troubleshooting that leads nowhere

Anwar

After reading that firefox font question, I force my firefox to render in only PT mono font

It's amazing... try it

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 That question should really be closed as opinion-based.

Byte Commander

@cl-netbox Oh, hi.

Well, it can be summed up as mainly boring.

@KazWolfe Any new ideas about cryptswap yet btw?

Kaz Wolfe

oh hi welcome back.

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander hmmm ... so as you expected

Kaz Wolfe

15:56

Did you use cryptsetup?

Byte Commander

I installed that package.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe that too

Byte Commander

I did not run a cryptsetup command.

Kaz Wolfe

well...

i think cryptsetup runs some important initialization and similar

and i think marking the service as active?

because it looks like the crypt service didn't run at boot for you, yet your cryptswap works if you manually initialize it.

Byte Commander

So what do I need to do?

Kaz Wolfe

15:59

let me look.

give me a moment please

lolno.

Zacharee1

@SmokeDetector daytime spam

@KazWolfe where is that o-O

Kaz Wolfe

@ByteCommander Hang on downloading an ISO

It might very well be /dev notation because I don't think the UUID is going to be the same every time.

Byte Commander

trying /dev/sda4 now. Rebooting...

Zacharee1

people are really having trouble with the new HWE update for 14.04

I might have to make another graphics fixer Q&A

Kaz Wolfe

oh, i see, @ByteCommander

take a look at this.

@Serg might get a kick out of that -^

Kaz Wolfe

will be afk for an hour and a half. class. ill find a solution after, byte

Byte Commander

Okay, I'll go on experimenting a bit...

@Serg We have a bug in powerflow-indy:

$ powerflow-indicator --amps
0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/powerflow-indicator", line 175, in <module>
    main()

@ByteCommander works alright on my side

@ByteCommander pull the latest version from github

geezuz

Zacharee1

@Seth we might have to talk to someone about blocking that IP

Serg

that was a string of numbers

Zacharee1

16:23

because it's the same exact spam style

and there have been 3 so far in rapid succession

Seth

@Zacharee1 it'll happen automatically.

Zacharee1

@Seth orly?

Seth

3? I only saw 2.

Zacharee1

cool

Seth

oh I see 3 now.

Well give it some time.

Zacharee1

16:24

each Smokey was the same style

kk

Seth

@edwinksl I just realized I left my computer on the entire time I was gone with this tab open. Oops lol

Zacharee1

lol

want some more pings?

Byte Commander

@Serg I got the latest version from github. 5411 bytes.

$ sha1sum power-flow-indicator

Severus Tux

Bye friends :) . @Serg thanks again :) bye

Serg

@ByteCommander Mkay. What was the condition under which you started it ?

@SeverusTux bye, always welcome

Byte Commander

16:26

Simply from terminal.

It did not come up on reboot so I tried manually.

cl-netbox

@SeverusTux Goodbye ... see you :)

Serg

weird. I can't reproduce it here

Zacharee1

I think we have a bug report askubuntu.com/questions/818314/…

@ByteCommander reinstall

I just came up with a southern analogy for Android

"The Facebook app uses more battery than a cell radio with no service!"

Serg

@ByteCommander run upower -d, i think you got some bad char in the output of upower. I probably will have to add some kind of checking mechanism to the string

Anybody with laptop? need help testing this

Kaz Wolfe

16:43

@ByteCommander SOLVED IT

Zanna

I have laptop

Zacharee1

@Zanna u does

Zanna

lol Serg says "anyone with laptop?"

I think that GIMPshop download is FUBAR

dunno who is upgoating the blabla answer

Zacharee1

SourceForge won't let me download the frickin package

Serg

@Zanna can you please test the power-flow indicator? I'll give you github repo in a sec

Zacharee1

16:50

guh

Zanna

@Serg it will be my pleasure :)

are you trying to download the same tarball @Zacharee1

Zacharee1

yeah

Zanna

I have it

Zacharee1

can you dropbox it or something?

wait no

just used the Ireland mirror

Zanna

sure but I think it's borked, really, see the comments below on main page, abandoned 2007?

Zacharee1

16:51

works fine

Zanna

nice hehe weird how that worked good

Zacharee1

@Zanna yeah I saw that, but it makes no sense, since there's a GIMP 2.8 file too, which is the latest GIMP

Zanna

but this is GIMPshop no? am I losing my mind?

Serg

@Zanna git clone github.com/SergKolo/power-flow-indicator.git

Zanna

ok it's running

:)

Seth

16:54

@Zacharee1 wn.nr/vZWkgG

Zanna

@Serg what am I testing?

Zacharee1

@Seth danke

@Zanna GIMPShop is just GIMP as far as I can tell, do idk why

Seth

@Zacharee1 bitte

Zacharee1

@Seth please or yw

Seth

@Zacharee1 yw

(I guess. just googled it :P)

Serg

16:57

@Zanna run it from command line like ./power-flow-indicator --amps .Make sure you are on battery. Try plugging in power adapter then disconnecting. See if ther's any error

Zanna

it's... like a theme no? some presets that make it more like PS?

Serg

AFK, have to make phone call

Zanna

@Serg been running it for a few minutes. one little gtk warning. When I plug in, the numbers get much bigger

like this

3.6632
3.1844
3.1844
18.1564
18.1564
18.1488
18.1488
17.9132

Serg

works alright to me

@ByteCommander ^

Zacharee1

WHEW POSTED

Zanna

17:02

that may not be amps though, let me ^C it and start again

Serg

@Zanna use quit from menu

ctr+c doesnt work with GUI apps

sorta

Zanna

well it worked alright

Zacharee1

Someone made a comment on a political Imgur post saying this election is basically a choice for the lesser evil

Serg

hmmm, ok

Zacharee1

little do they know, there is no lesser evil

he's baa-ack askubuntu.com/questions/818333/…

Zanna

17:04

oh no wait actually the icon is still there but dead... I broke it

Serg

@Zacharee1 no this election is of lesser turds

Zacharee1

tsk

@Serg but again

none

Zacharee1

@jokerdino are you canaian?

Rinzwind

@jokerdino hey you here too? :-)

jokerdino

Zacharee1

@Zanna uh...

I just noticed something very strange

The GimpShop SF page

is gimpshop.mirror

Zanna

17:12

oh god what stupid thing have I done

yes indeed...

Zacharee1

gimpshop is nothing

Zanna

how do you mean?

Serg

Mkay, I guess I'm gonna go , deal with other BS . . . Life is all about BS and dealing with it :/

Zanna

:(

but your power indicator works good

at least

no? :)

Serg

@Zanna it all seems to work, but byte encountered an issue. I need to make it work for him too

Zanna

17:24

oh nice @Zacharee1 :) have you tested it?

Zacharee1

@Zanna I'm in Windows sooo

Nathan Osman

17:37

@onebree That is possible (tracking emails) but very difficult to configure.

jokerdino

@Serg karel linked this askubuntu.com/questions/637639/…

Nathan Osman

Basically what you need to do is have a mail server that accepts mail to any address and then keep track of which address is given to which company.

Anonymous

@NathanOsman WHat I would do is [email protected]

Zacharee1

@Zanna you wanna test?

Nathan Osman

@onebree That works too as long as the company doesn't cut off the "+filter" part.

17:39

@NathanOsman Ah, simple regex I guess... Outlook lets you create full aliases, like [email protected]

@NathanOsman I just have asimple script. It's evil.

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman Remember I was talking about that other person?

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe Erm... which one?

Kaz Wolfe

during the Incident.

Either way, it's @onebree, relation unknown though. Your judgement call.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe I think I know what you mean. Switching to Discord...

17:42

@KazWolfe what

Zanna

@Zacharee1 do I wanna download a random .deb and install it over my current, working, and mildly modded GIMP? not really... do I have to ? : /

Zacharee1

@Zanna yes, you are being forced to install something by a random person over the internet, because that's how things work

Zanna

hahaha ^_^

I wanna be helpful

Zacharee1

:p

Anonymous

@NathanOsman so other than setting up my own server, or doing whatever you suggested, is there any other way I can somehow track, either via alias or such, where I am getting spam from?

Zacharee1

17:48

@onebree IPs?

or Gmail

Nathan Osman

@onebree Not that I am aware of, no.

Anonymous

@Zacharee1 explain the IP method. I want to know where Spammer X got my email address from, like if Company Y sold it to them

Zacharee1

oh

I was just suggesting you try to find a common source IP/MX domain and block it

Zanna

the .deb package seems to have unpacked the tarball to /usr/docs/gimpshop.whatever @Zacharee1

like, literally, unpacked the tarball

Zacharee1

@Zanna yeah, that's the point. But check /usr/local/bin and you'll see the actual executables

Anonymous

17:51

@Zacharee1 can you block by IP in gmail? Blocking by address is hard because recently spammers have been using shuffled around usernames and domains

Zacharee1

@onebree oh so Gmail isn't blocking it itself? Have you reported the spam? You may just be part of the first wave, so you're getting it before Google's had a chance to update its filters. Report it to them

They'll know what to do

Okay, it gets sent to my spam folder. But thank you!

easy to fix...

Byte Commander

17:57

(sorry, had an appointment I almost forgot...)

@KazWolfe Yes?

It seems to work so far with /dev/sda4 as backing device instead of UUID.

And I can omit the cipher option again.

Now I'm trying to implement the stuff described in the Arch Wiki to use UUIDs.

Zacharee1

@Zanna updated my answer with your experience.
