@OmeidHerat Ram issue?

Roland Taylor

I love it when people downvote an old post and then I get the rep back immediately :D

Amith KK

12:35

YESSSSS!!!!!

ITS FINISHED!

Omeid Herat

Amith KK

ubuntuone.com/4q2NqgwuowBZWt0u70g75g

Omeid Herat

its hella fast !

Amith KK

LOL

jrg

@OmeidHerat Don't use remastersys, use relinux

shameless plug for a project that his ubuntu spin is creating

It's like remastersys, but better.

Omeid Herat

12:38

cheers @jrg but what is good about it ?

Amith KK

i use relinux

@jrg Feel free, thanks to a faulty S.M.A.R.T Chip on my HDD i lost All the mods and files :(

jrg

According to the developer (I haven't played with it yet, I'm in QA/testing/dev for other stuff for the project) it's stabler, and the code has had some refactoring.

Amith KK

@RolandTaylor Change your gravatar

jrg

@AmithKK So, what is this ISO that is hosted on Ubuntu one?

Or rather, what does it do? :)

Amith KK

@jrg The Kiosk

of ubuntu+Chromium+NoWM+Xampp

jrg

12:43

What, you didn't use my Opera Kiosk deal? ;)

@AmithKK Cool. You should ask that as a question and then answer it with the process you used.

Amith KK

@jrg WOOT

ill make that

LOOL

"You have Uploaded a total of 506MB you have been charged 0Rs"

@jrg For Chromium.. It aint hard

just turn on the -kiosk flag

jrg

@AmithKK It's still worth putting up there.

That way, everyone can use the information/add to it.

Amith KK

Ok

you're the only one that has done anything

Time to start following up on those unity quicklist bugs..

Side note: Alan Bell and mhall119 are really geeking out in #awholenewworld on freenode with the whole thisisthecountdown.com thing. :D

Roland Taylor

13:55

I care, but I'm not sure what to do :S

jrg

@RolandTaylor Bug the pidgin guys about this developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14145

Roland Taylor

You sure you want me to bug yet another team of developers?

:P

jrg

Something like that.

Roland Taylor

alrighty

jrg

Actually, if I were to submit a patch there...

Roland Taylor

14:07

Pidgin needs to get an indicator though.

(IMHO)

(But then, I'm also crazy enough to want indicator autohiding)...

hides from the angry mob

jrg

No, it just needs to get better messaging menu.

Roland Taylor

The messaging menu is too simple - thus disorganized

jrg

Autohiding for the indicator?

Roland Taylor

mine is loooooooooooooooooooong

jrg

WHAT USE IS THAT? :P

Roland Taylor

14:08

and to me, that's less useful than individual indicators

What use is it?

When you don't need to use an indicator, you hide it

Have you never used KDE/XFCE? (They have systray autohiding).

Anyways, I don't want to continue that vein of discussion - it starts flame wars :S.

jrg

Interesting... now that I stop and think, it's not that bad of an idea.

Roland Taylor

Sweet!

Looking for a 11.10 update?

Jorge Castro

yup

if anyone knows any other questions that need 11.10 updates let me know

I'll tack a bounty on it

Roland Taylor

14:16

I don't see any changes

Jorge Castro

there's a big slider on the first tab in ccsm now

to adjust the edge setting

Roland Taylor

oh

silly me

I didn't notice that :D

answering

Done :)

Oh wait... face palm I just read the bounty description. Should have added the info to the accepted answer? I can still do that.

jrg

No, don't.

Theres no way for you to actually get the bounty if you add the info to the accepted answer

I think we're doing things PPA style now.

Roland Taylor

True. I did it for the sake of answering the question - but a bounty is always nice :).

Jorge Castro

just make it separate

and add ##For 11.10

and ##For 11.04 to the other answer

Roland Taylor

14:26

Okie dokie

Jorge Castro

I have no qualms giving the bounty to the updated answer every cycle

Roland Taylor

There we go :)

Omeid Herat

Marco Ceppi

@Greg Yes?

@Alaukik it still appears for me as well

Greg

@MarcoCeppi hi Marco... can I bug you about regular expressions again? (the same one as yesterday!)

Marco Ceppi

Sure

Greg

@MarcoCeppi I thought I had got the "perfect" regex with: ^\/((?:[^?/]+\/|(?:[^.?/]+(?:$|\.(?:html?|json))))+)?(\?.*)?$

it seems to work perfectly, but it has a problem where the first query string key has the question mark prepended to it

so I changed it to ^\/((?:[^?/]+\/|(?:[^.?/]+(?:$|\.(?:html?|json))))+)?\??(.*)?$ and that works, but also matches /Something.anyFileExtension :D

@MarcoCeppi do you have an idea to change the first regex so it simply doesn't match the first question mark?

Marco Ceppi

I hate ? they're so dumb

Manish Sinha

not an advise to be given to newbies ever

when things fall apart, it is a bigger pain to assemble again

htorque

yeah, it's a crappy answer - especially without any words of advise what comes with removing PA

Manish Sinha

its just a typical hate

PA is not very stable

htorque

it's like sudo apt-get remove plymouth → there's certainly no nerving boot splash after that :D

Manish Sinha

every software takes time to stabilize

Takkat

Hi all

FlackBot

Hey, nice to see you!

Manish Sinha

its like writing zeros to your hard disk, no system, no problems

htorque

yeah, PA is not perfect, but what's perfect? i only get fed up if "they" start the next thing before the current one is stable. cool for developers, sucks for users.

@Takkat hi

Manish Sinha

I don't think PA is going to be replaced in next century

Takkat

What I found out about PA so far is that mostly other applications don't play nice with it...

htorque

my system is a dedicated PA server haha

Takkat

...and that the documentation is felt 10 releases back.

hm, but actually i'm not sure that dealt with the daemon

no, i was just wondering what happened to all those things in startup applications?

that's pretty empty nowadays (i know that was planned during UDS), how to disable the removed stuff? or has that become obsolete?

I suspect you can't disable this any more. What comes in comes in...

I think it's become obsolete. Worth asking on the site though...

We are facing a whole OS ready for use (not for customization).

that's what i like coming from my mail client :D

Verdict on gnome-shell in Oneiric: If I can't use Openbox, it can go burn. there I said it

Manish Sinha

looks like if you really want a customizable system, you need to stick with LFS

for shell and Unity don't offer much customization out of box

you need to install other applications to customize them

jrg

I'm fine with Unity 2D - I can use openbox/whatever-window-manager-I-want with it. It's just that when you've got ONE OPTION, and it acts up regularly, I can't deal with it.

Yes?

Oh, you're dipping into that market?

Stefano Palazzo

did you see the 2.0 stuff I showed off today?

jrg

I did.

Stefano Palazzo

I guess it won't be long until there's some code online

jrg

Cool, can't wait for it to show up on launchpad or github.

Stefano Palazzo

I'm leaning towards google code. It'll be online when I fixed two pretty annoying bugs in the JavaScript. Hopefully there's still going to be enough of a crowd for some testing

jrg

21:31

Fair enough.

Stefano Palazzo

I won't make the same mistake I did last time

jrg

Which was?

Stefano Palazzo

I released VC 1.0 when it wasn't ready. So all I ever got was tech support requests :)

the VC that's currently on github really isn't easy to deploy
