Q: Why so many answers are in comments

marosgEvery morning I click on unanswered link and every morning I see many of questions answered in comments section. When this happens, person who asked the question cannot mark it as answered, it cannot be upvoted and it looks like there are much more unanswered questions then there should be. Are t...

@Zanna I am not sure. May be for another 100 years. Government is getting strict for its protection and AFAIK the region isn't prone to any natural calamity.

@Kulfy humanity is though, but hopefully that won’t touch it :)

@dessert There were industries near it a decade ago. Taj's color started becoming yellowish from white. Government passed an order to move their industries from the region.

Q: Why is "community" bumping questions that are over 5 years old?

xenoidSuch as this one, but that's not the only one. What is the point? The question is often as obsolete as the software involved. This is a waste of our time. Shouldn't there be some "Answer before" date on questions?

People don't understand that if they communicate on their question once or twice a week, you're losing the flow to write an answer.

@JacobVlijm This is ubuntu bug, I have hdmi in xrandr output while it was not turned on since boot. This starts to happen after configuring monitors in standard cinnamon gui. I thought its because cable connected, but after reading this question, think everyone have it.

@LeonidMew Hah, thanks :) I am not sure that is what he wants though. His issue is that windows are seemingly lost after disconnecting the second monitor. Quite easy to edit the script to do the same trick, but not as background process but on shortcut key, so he just needs to press the shortcut instead of the 20 steps plan he is performing now :)
...But he was too grumpy. Let him wait for a while. (kidding :) )

@Videonauth Not sure about the setup, is it one and the same executable? if not, is one initiating the other? is there some kind of wrapper involved?
Videonauth
Videonauth
its the same executable, which initiates itself when running or importing it
i made my chatbot having a function to update his own virtualenviroment, but to make it effective i need a way to restart the script itself so it imports the new libs etc
Jacob Vlijm
Jacob Vlijm
...and what is exactly the trigger, closing a window?
Videonauth
Videonauth
a chatcommand in discord
it should be if I'm right merely like the shutdown command i implemented already just before exiting it shall start a new process --> github.com/Videonauth/ProtonDB-Bot/blob/…
so before exit(0) out of this script starting a new process, i have dabbled with subprocess a while now but that only creates childs and when i end the parrent they are usually gone too
maybe I'm thinking in circles here probably

@Videonauth Still not sure about the setup haha, but in rare cases when I want an executable to restart itself, I make it run a tiny script (with subprocess.Popen()) subsequently the executable kills itself (in my case a window), the script subsequently waits 0.15 seconds or so and starts up the executable. Example: 
    def show_other(self, button, nxt):
        # call the external script to move to the other workspace
        add = "nokeys" if self.nokeys else ""
        subprocess.Popen(
            [os.path.join(plugin_path, "moveto.sh"), str(nxt), add]
        )
self.stop()
And the " restart" bash script: 
#!/bin/bash

next_ws=$1
nokeys=$2
wmctrl -s "$next_ws"
sleep 0.15
/usr/lib/budgie-desktop/plugins/budgie-wprviews/wprv $nokeys&
...Only the two lines at the bottom are interesting of course.
Example from: github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-extras/blob/master/… Not sure if this is what you are looking for though, nor sure if it is needed in your case at all.
Videonauth
Videonauth
Ok, well that is for sure an opetion, i was trying the whole day to find a proper way to not use a helper script but that will do for sure too, will save me that response into a text file so i can go over it tomorrow over the day
i thought aswell of subprocess.popen or something else what starts a edtached process and then simply exit the script, in bash i simply would call the script itself but python is a bit more tricky while it is easier in most other ways
Jacob Vlijm
Jacob Vlijm
Yeah, always looking for the elegant way, but if I can' t find it, if it works it works.
Videonauth
Videonauth
I wonder what would happen if i call subprocess.check_output(['./bot.py &\; disown'])
Jacob Vlijm
Jacob Vlijm
I guess check_output will always be in sync
Videonauth
Videonauth
well I#ll fiddle tomorrow a bit and over the weekend, its not that this is essential to run the bot, but i always look for ways to improve it
thus the modular approach where you can even load in modules on the fly

Not really familiar with chatbots
Videonauth
Videonauth
well when i have read the libraries source correctly its a sock connection to the discord API and a wrapper for almost everything so this part is to provide easy access to it
all you need to give to the bot class is the token you get from discord
to be honest the discord.py library is a hot mess right now after they decided to rewrite everything and even change their whole API around

Q: KDE crashes with X2Go on Kubuntu 16.04

BastionX2Go won't work when connecting to my Linux box running Kubuntu 16.04. MATE and XFCE work with X2go fine. X2go has an older version of X server built in and doesn't support some newer features and apparently that's why MATE and XFCE work well with it. KDE is however working when using x2go to c...
