My hp pavilion slimline s7420n is such a pain in the butt ! First it wouldn't accept any ram sticks, now it doesn't accept new processor. But still works with old stuff, so at least that is good

hbdgaf

@Serg For RAM selection, I always used the Kingston ram chooser. Always worked for me.

Also, HP mobos are bad for feature locking. Even if your CPU is supported on that mobo, and the CPU supports hardware virtualization - there is no toggle in the BIOS sort of thing.

Serg

@hbdgaf i think i already trieng Kingston. In any case, it's not the ram or processor itself. I'm suspecting it's something to do with bios ; i'm gonna attempt to do bios upgrade, but if it doesn't work out, well , i'll stick with the old stuff . . . .

user136984

Why can't people just read what is on and off-topic on this site in the help section before they post?

user136984

@iamatrain: Could just be a bug. But you should try asking on the main site.

hbdgaf

@ParanoidPanda Here's the thing that baffles me about that question. The reason you use Mint instead of mainline Ubuntu is for the DE. However, they're trying to install plasma.

That doesn't make sense to me.

terdon

10:34

@hbdgaf Not true. There are quite a few tweaks that make Mint easier to use. It's not only the DE. And, anyway, who chooses a distro based on the DE? You can always install another one.

hbdgaf

Really? Didn't know that. Every Mint fanboy I talked to was oohing and aahing about the Windows like DE.

terdon

Last time I had installed both Ubuntu and Mint on the same laptop, Mint had better hardware compliance out of the box, for example. It also has mp3 and dvdcss and the like preinstalled.

@hbdgaf Huh? What windows-like DE? Are you thinking of Elementary? Mint has Cinnamon, MATE and KDE flavors.

Might also have xfce, not sure.

It also has some very nice tools like a different update manager, backup tools, upload service etc.

hbdgaf

Cinnamon. Legacy windows like interface.

terdon

@hbdgaf What? Why is Cinnamon windows-like? It's Gnome. It just has the panel on the bottom by default. Is that what you mean?

So does everything else but Gnome.

hbdgaf

@terdon Yes. It just looks more Windowsy to me. Like an old person would understand it faster.

A.B.

10:38

Here we go, Wily I'm coming =)

hbdgaf

To be clear, I like my menu tree at the top left or on a right click on desktop basis.

terdon

@hbdgaf OK. Not to me and I've been using it for a few years. The only Windows-like thing would be that it has a button at the bottom right just like KDE.

@hbdgaf Nobody's stopping you from putting it at the top, of course :) It's not Gnome3, you can actually configure Cinnamon.

hbdgaf

Ok. That's just the feedback I got from a few people. That to them it felt more like Windows and their grandparents were less change resistant to it than Win 7 to Win 8 for example.

terdon

Yeah, that's probably 'cause it has a menu on the bottom left where they're used to seeing it. However, it also has hot corners, 3d effects, cool snapping, and various other nifty features. I'm quite pleased with it, really. It's basically the good bits of gnome3 without the "no, you can't change anything" crap.

terdon

10:42

Plus, its applets are just javascript which makes it very easy to tweak.

hbdgaf

That's a fair point.

On your multimedia tweaks are installed by default, there should be a script somewhere that just does that as a post install trigger on mainline. I agree it would be nice, but I think that's just over the hairy edge of "might not be legal here" and Canonical is avoiding the lawsuit while Mint is just accepting the risk.

terdon

@hbdgaf Yes, that's precisely it, I think. I have no idea how they do it, maybe 'cause there's no corporation as such to be sued with Mint.

Haven't used normal Mint for a few years though (I'm on the Debian, not Ubuntu-based edition) so I don't know what's up now.

hbdgaf

@terdon They don't have the same level of assets. It's not worth the lawsuit for the little the plaintiff would get if they win.

terdon

I guess. I don't really understand how it works though. It takes one apt command to do the same thing in Ubuntu. How can making it available be legal but installilng it not be? Stupid lawyerly pedantry.

hbdgaf

It is stupid legal pedantry, but it puts the onus of the installation on the user, so they're accepting the risk instead of Canonical accepting the risk. It's stupid to have to do it, but I understand why they do it.

@Fabby no

Nathan Osman

@Fabby it only works for those who have installed the script.

Fabby

15:35

@edwardtorvalds Yeah, but you didn't install the script...

@Fabby dont you think it would be annoying to see all the persons typing whom with you are not talking

edward torvalds

so why?

Nathan Osman

I'm not at a computer yet so I can't confirm.

edward torvalds

15:36

Nathan Osman

And you'll know when I fix it too - the script checks for updates.

@edwardtorvalds No, I added an anchor ^, try my last command

edward torvalds

@kos dont mind bro but you should read that line

kos

@edwardtorvalds I'm not getting what you mean: echo "XHello world.X Xfoo barX" | grep -Po '^X.+?X' outputs XHello world.X, doesn't it?

edward torvalds

15:40

I dont need ^

I am talking about ? wildcard

Fabby

@NathanOsman I read it before installing it! ;-)

edward torvalds

@kos from the article it says, it ? is used after other wildcards/metachareacters it will make regular exp non greedy; but that is not happening in bash with grep

user136984

@RpiAwesomeness: What flavour of Ubuntu are you running by the way? :)

A.B.

\o/

kos

@edwardtorvalds That's what it does, in fact echo "XHello world.X Xfoo barX" | grep -Po '^X.+?X' matches two times, hence the two lines. If you want to match only the first one, anchor the pattern.

Serg

15:43

@edwardtorvalds OK, here's the thing grep is a line matching tool . . .When you do echo "XHello worldX Xfoo barX" | grep -P "X.*X" you are matching the whole line. Like so:

echo "XHello worldX foo bar" | grep -P -o "X.*X"
XHello worldX

That ^ with -o flag gives you only parts of the matched line that have the pattern

I'm not sure why echo "XHello worldX Xfoo barX" | grep -P -o "X.*X" doesn't separate each match onto separate line though

A.B.

@Serg o/ =)

Serg

@A.B. ^_^ hallo

kos

@edwardtorvalds Try this: echo "XHello world.X nomatch Xfoo barX" | grep -P 'X.+?X' --color; what is colored is matched. That means that both strings are matched, is the wording used in that reference that is misleading

user136984

I both flagged and VTCed this as I'm really not sure if it's just spam or a question that's off-topic...

user136984

Any ideas? :D

Serg

15:47

@kos both are colored

kos

@Serg Yes, because the X.+?X pattern matches both. That's why I suggested ^X.+?X to match only the first one

edward torvalds

kos and serg: http://www.georgehernandez.com/h/xComputers/Programming/RegularExpressions.asp says if ? meta character is used after other metacharacters makes the pattern non-greedy.
for example: echo "XHello world.X Xfoo barX" | grep "X.+X" matches the whole line. but echo "XHello world.X Xfoo barX" | grep "X.+?X" is supposed to match only XHello world.X

Nathan Osman

Okay, I'm at my desktop now.

Serg

@kos actually . . I know what the problem is . . .XHello WorldX is a pattern . . . but also so ix X(blank space) . . . so it takes the whole line

we need to change regex to something else

kos

@edwardtorvalds Alright, compare this two: echo "XHello world.X nomatch Xfoo barX" | grep -P 'X.+?X' --color and echo "XHello world.X nomatch Xfoo barX" | grep -P 'X.+X' --color; the first one matches any occurence of the pattern (hence two colored matches), the second one also matches any occurence of the pattern, but the (single) match corresponds to the widest match possible, which goes up to the end of the line.

Serg

15:51

got it

echo "XHello worldX yoloswag 360 noscope Xfoo barX" | grep --color -P -o "X[[:alpha:]].+?X"

@kos you dont need --color in bash with grep because it is turned on by default

@Serg per default, there is an entry gsettings get org.gnome.shell favorite-apps askubuntu.com/a/686088/367165

Like they said in your reference, it will match the shortest match possible

For example .*X will match This X is an X in "This X is an X", while .*? will match This X in "This X is an X"
