Any bash guy around?

This script doesn't work for me: paste.ubuntu.com/6723808

JohnMerlino

What's the root for?

@Lucio

Lucio

The DESTINATION is splite in two parts (by the space char)

@JohnMerlino I'm using it in more lines

it gives me:

mv: target ‘One/folder’ is not a directory

But the \ should work:

1

A: bash: path with white space

You can escape the "space" char by putting a \ right before it.

@Braiam ^

Hey! Now the accepted answer aren't on the top, but the one with more upvotes! nice

Braiam

@Lucio if you are using quotes already the \ is extra ;)

Lucio

I used the 3 possible ways

Braiam

TMP_PATH="/$COMPANY/some Project/tmp"
TMP_PATH=/$COMPANY/some\ Project/tmp

Lucio

12:15 AM

Slash, quotes, and Slash+quotes

@Braiam non of them work

Seth

Huh. Ubuntu\ One works for me..

Braiam

➜  ~  export ROOT="/home/hogar/Documents/files/"
➜  ~  export FILE=${ROOT}"bdd.encrypted"
➜  ~  export DESTINATION="/home/hogar/Ubuntu One/folder"
➜  ~  echo $DESTINATION \\n$FILE
/home/hogar/Ubuntu One/folder
/home/hogar/Documents/files/bdd.encrypted

works for me in zsh

do echo instead

Lucio

The PC is trolling me..

@Braiam I know what I write on the scripts, so I already did that :)

This should work, but it doesn't running the script

Braiam

how you run the script?

Lucio

./file

Seth

12:19 AM

Try adding #! /bin/bash to the top of the file.. sometimes that works wonders.

Lucio

Seth

You didn't paste that in the paste file :P

Lucio

yep

Braiam

➜  ~  ./lucion
/home/hogar/Documents/files/
/home/hogar/Documents/files/bdd.encrypted
/home/hogar/Ubuntu One/folder
➜  ~  cat lucion
ROOT="/home/hogar/Documents/files/"
FILE=${ROOT}"bdd.encrypted"
DESTINATION="/home/hogar/Ubuntu One/folder"

echo $ROOT
echo $FILE
echo $DESTINATION
➜  ~

works for me in the files...

Seth

your output really makes no sense Braiam.

Lucio

12:21 AM

@Braiam try with MV command ;)

Braiam

@Seth the ➜ ~ is the prompt

wait...

Seth

@Braiam I know that..

Lucio

@Braiam It is okay, was just a tiny advice..

Braiam

use mv "$FILE" "$DESTINATION"

Seth

yeah!

Lucio

12:22 AM

mmmm, let me try

Braiam

btw, why the heck the ${...}?

Lucio

@Braiam why the heck this and this and this...

it is debuggin man

Seth

@fossfreedom I'm sure you are probably tired, but the spam is back.

Lucio

@Braiam Worked like a charm!!!!

Q: Why I can't scape spaces on a bash script?

Braiam

@Mateo didn't you used Jack?

Mateo

Braiam

yup

Seth

2:21 AM

@Mateo Oh yeah, I have quite a bit more in other flags ;)

Mateo

yeah, it is confusing though - I have used it for a 32 channel sound board

Braiam

this should be easy to answer askubuntu.com/q/403233/169736 it just don't find the socket...

Mateo

maybe... It eats lots of resources. so I get something similar if I tell it to use too much

Braiam

2:36 AM

could someone vote to reopen this askubuntu.com/q/401974/169736?

Thomas W.

@Braiam why?

Braiam

RolandiXor

@MarcoCeppi e_e#

Seth

What O_o

Wow, 3 mods in the room.

Hello guys.

RolandiXor

Just when I thought it was clear...

Braiam

oh, noes

RolandiXor

3:27 AM

@Seth hi!

Marco Ceppi

marcoceppi.com/2013/02/…

@Braiam he called you out ;)

jrg

@Seth yes, they did reach out.

RolandiXor

We are building critical mass for a nucleomoderic reaction.

Seth

Wow. I guess Shog and Tim Post were just too much for them

jrg

@MarcoCeppi dang, i should turn off blog comments.

Seth

3:28 AM

@jrg Who reached out?

jrg

never moderated or read them anyway

RolandiXor

I've never seen anybody this stupid.

jrg

@Seth at this point, most of us have talked to SE.

or rather, had timpost swing by and chat with us

2

Seth

@jrg Oh cool. I had a conversation with Shog too.

Marco Ceppi

@ThomasW. it's not worth it. Getting enraged only makes it worth it for him

Seth

3:29 AM

@MarcoCeppi Nice blog, what's it built on?

Marco Ceppi

@Seth WordPress

@ThomasW. it wasn't anon

Thomas W.

whatever

Marco Ceppi

his IP, email, etc have been blackisted

RolandiXor

The harassment they are doing is bordering on criminal, though.

Marco Ceppi

ligaf

Thomas W.

3:30 AM

@MarcoCeppi then all is good.

Marco Ceppi

Seth

@MarcoCeppi Really? I expected something... I dunno...

Marco Ceppi

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up

jrg

Seth

@Marco using a specific theme?

jrg

3:32 AM

don't care.

RolandiXor

I wonder if they are still watching the chat :)...

Seth

They were a while ago..

Marco Ceppi

@Seth yes, scopic with some plugins to get desired effect

Seth

@MarcoCeppi Cool

Marco Ceppi

@Braiam you should keep insulting them ;)

RolandiXor

3:33 AM

Isn't harassing people online a crime in just about every country on the planet :)?

Seth

Hey @Nathan your RSS feed isn't working.. Think you might be able to fix it?

RolandiXor

Including India and Sri Lanka? :)

Where they were afraid of censorship?

Seth

@RolandiXor Did you get my invite?

Lucio

@Seth lol

RolandiXor

@Seth yeah lol

Lucio

3:34 AM

for some reason he didn't liked braiam

RolandiXor

I was distracted by the TV :D

Seth

ok

Braiam

I have not insulted anyone, I just took someone else words, edited them and then throw them in chat ;)

RolandiXor

Hey guys watch this:

INSULTS!

Seth

I took screenshots of everything

RolandiXor

3:35 AM

INSULTS AGAINST ALL OF YOU WHO WANT TO BE MOD.

:)

jrg

Braiam

we should make them mods of spammers.se :D

jrg

This is my insult to you, oh great Roland.

Seth

@jrg So applicable!

RolandiXor

@Braiam xD

@jrg :O

How dareth thee?

Lucio

3:37 AM

jrg

@RolandiXor I dareth.

Lucio

Do someone knows about a nice django app/code to read?

Nathan Osman

@Seth My feed is broken?

Seth

@NathanOsman yeah

Click the link.

Nathan Osman

@Lucio I might.

Lucio

3:41 AM

@NathanOsman I used to read your PHP code :)

so you may help

Nathan Osman

@Seth It works for me.

Seth

You actually took the time to read PHP code in your freetime? What is this world coming too...

Braiam

/me escapes real life to Canada...

Seth

@NathanOsman Huh.. it suddenly works. The API must be trolling me.

jrg

@Seth did you circle me on G+ at somepoint? I could have sworn I saw your photo a few weeks ago on that abandoned network, but I can't remember.

Seth

3:43 AM

@NathanOsman Is it possible to create a RSS feed for answers with the word mod or moderators in it?

@jrg I don't think I did.. I don't use it much except for a little family stuff, so you wouldn't see anything anyway.

jrg

@Seth OK.

Seth

I am around on it though.. so you might have seen my face.

Lucio

waiting for django code

jrg

Was just thinking, because i turned of SE stuff last night, but i do get hangouts notifications as text messages, if you wanted to poke me for something

Seth

@jrg btw, you never handled that git PR.. I don't mean to nag but...

Thomas W.

3:46 AM

@Lucio drops 100GB of assembly language on your lap instead

jrg

@Seth ugh. yes, i didn't.

Lucio

@ThomasW. ROTFL

Seth

@jrg Oh cool. I'll remember that. After we've tired all the other mods and CMs out I'll wake you up at 2 in the morning.

Nathan Osman

@Seth I don't think so.

Thomas W.

@Lucio Would you prefer 100GB of COBOL?

Seth

3:47 AM

:-/

Are you sure? ;) Have you looked at the packages for 12.04? Because when I open Synaptic, I can see the following: unity-lense-askubuntu 1.0, unity-scope-musicstore 5.12.0, unity-lens-wikipedia 0.1, unity-scope-video-remote 0.3.5 etc. Since I disabled this online-thing a long time ago, it is no longer an issue. However I do remember getting music-results from online shops (never bothered to look which ones but it is OK to assume it was the Ubuntu One Music Store) in a third row at the bottom of the music-dash-section. That and the fact I have a bunch of online options in "Filter results". — rbaleksandar 4 mins ago

@ThomasW. NO

Seth

HALP

Thomas W.

@Seth I'm stuck on Windows ATM, currently unfixable RO drive prevents booting

Braiam

@Seth solved

Seth

@ThomasW. Okey.. That's weird though. I really don't know much about 12.04 as I skipped it.

@Braiam Cool thanks.

Thomas W.

3:49 AM

@Seth Have him dump his sources.list and all the other items in sources.list.d

then link me to it

Lucio

"Try django" they said..

Thomas W.

because packages.ubuntu.com/…

Seth

Ok.

Braiam

wait, is lense = lens?

Seth

yes

Lucio

3:49 AM

"It is great!" they said..

Thomas W.

@Seth the video lens is there, but not shopping nor radio, nor photos, so if he's seeing those they're either in different repositories or he's got a PPA or a proposed repo on

@Seth also have him screenshot the synaptic window where he's seeing these

and then give me links when he does that

jrg

@Seth Go right ahead.

Braiam

I bet he has PPA's, unity-lense doesn't appears at all

Seth

@ThomasW. KK

Thomas W.

@Braiam you've failed

it's unity-lens and not always at the beginning

Braiam

3:52 AM

@ThomasW. he did... " can see the following: unity-lense-askubuntu 1.0"

Seth

lol

Thomas W.

@Braiam packages.ubuntu.com/…

@Braiam that's also NOT in the repositories

so that's a PPA

i am now 99.99999999% certain he has extra PPAs.

Seth

So we're safe.

RolandiXor

@Seth hehe

Braiam

@ThomasW. we are looking @ precise's repo!!!

Seth

3:53 AM

Unless they were backported.

Braiam

Q->T ~P

Thomas W.

@Seth also have him include the ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ output

Seth

@ThomasW. Too late :-/

RolandiXor

@Braiam Qt?

GTK+.

Thomas W.

@Braiam i did a search of all so you can see what i'm talking about with the repo searches

@Braiam that's still not in 12.04 so he's either got backports or some other weird crap going on

Seth

3:54 AM

Ah, the ancient question. Qt vs GTK.

Braiam

you mean Qt9 vs GTK6.1?

Thomas W.

@Seth has he responded yet?

Seth

nope.

@Braiam Qt is only at version 5.2...

Braiam

but the discussion will be ongoing in 9 ;)

Seth

Oh right.

Thomas W.

3:57 AM

@Seth nevermind i lied, they changed things...

@Seth unity-scope-musicstores is in precise, he can remove that and stop whining

Seth

Is that it?

Thomas W.

@Seth yeah it was hiding, I did a search for unity instead

packages.ubuntu.com/… precise

packages.ubuntu.com/… precise-updates

@Seth that's the ONLY scope that's there for "music" and such

if he's seeing any others, they're not in the main repositories, and he's got PPA weirdness

which is why I still want all the info from sources.list and his sources.list.d/* files

RolandiXor

GTK+ 6 will just be one big button.

@NathanOsman django code? :(

Nathan Osman

Oops :)

Braiam

@NathanOsman slower than 90% of CA, but faster than 90% of DR :(

Nathan Osman

I forgot about that.

@Lucio: I have a couple of simple Django sites on GitHub.

RolandiXor

afk

Nathan Osman

4:07 AM

One is rather old and not a very good example.

Lucio

@NathanOsman hey! That is great!

Nathan Osman

I'll get you a link to the newer one.

@Lucio: This project is quite recent, although it was never finished.

@Lucio: Also, you do know that I wrote four articles about Django on 2buntu, right?

Lucio

@NathanOsman of course.. o.O O.o

I'll look at them :)

Nathan Osman

@Lucio Those articles are a great place to start.

By the end of the fourth article, you'll have a working site that mimics Twitter :P

(To a very very very tiny degree, of course.)

Lucio

I want to start, so that would be helpful.

Thomas W.

4:12 AM

@Seth confirmed by the .manifest for amd64 12.04 desktop isos: unity-scope-musicstores exists probably on installation - paste.ubuntu.com/6724667

Lucio

Awesome: 2buntu.com/tagged/django

Nathan Osman

Yup.

Lucio

I'll cache the four pages and go offline.

The thunderstorm here is pretty big.

see you tomorrow guys!

and @NathanOsman thanks :)

Nathan Osman

Welcome!

Seth

4:30 AM

Awesome Nathan! I'll read that too.

@ThomasW. Okay thanks.

Thomas W.

@Seth i'll check if the dconf-editor shows things after I fix the boot, it won't boot right atm :/

Seth

@ThomasW. Okay. I'm off for now.

RolandiXor

Back.
