@A.B.

A.B.

@Serg sorry, and Crtr_R + Right?

Serg

@A.B. it seems to register only one key

A.B.

My problem

cl-netbox

@A.B. Hello my friend ! :)

Hello @Fabby ... :)

A.B.

But with wit xmodmap -pke | grep Control we have different codes. @Serg

Therefore I tought, I could change the modifier 0x4

Serg

15:05

@A.B. no, I have the same codes in both

A.B.

Nice, a DV troll askubuntu.com/a/689347/367165

Serg

xieerqi:$ xmodmap -pke | grep Control
keycode  37 = Control_L NoSymbol Control_L
keycode 105 = Control_R NoSymbol Control_R

xieerqi:$ xbindkeys -k
Press combination of keys or/and click under the window.
You can use one of the two lines after "NoCommand"
in $HOME/.xbindkeysrc to bind a key.
"(Scheme function)"
    m:0x14 + c:37
    Control+Mod2 + Control_L

xieerqi:$ xbindkeys -k
Press combination of keys or/and click under the window.
You can use one of the two lines after "NoCommand"
in $HOME/.xbindkeysrc to bind a key.

Fabby

@Serg Unfortunately, this is the correct answer...

Thank cod it's saturday and nobody is here . . .

Brandin

15:39

Why work on Saturday if no one is there

Serg

@Brandin I don't make up the rules lol . . . or schedule . . .

Brandin

if you're the only one there then i guess you're the only one following the schedule

Fabby

@Serg Baby-sitting the servers?

Changing back-up tapes?

@Tim :D :D :D Asleep at the wheel???

Serg

@fabby Helping students print 3 pages per sheet from powerpoint. . . . . that's what we do 90% of the time . . . .

Though occasionally we can play around with some hardware, but we don't even have admin rights to delete print queue

A.B.

LOOOL

Seth

15:48

that's just silly.

A.B.

OMG @Serg =)

Fabby

@Serg O_o not even printer Operator access???

A.B.

@Serg Reinstall =)

Fabby

You should file a RFC... ;-)

Serg

^_^ Yuup . . . I'm a real IT technician . . .

But it's good, I've learned a thing or two here and there . . . .

A.B.

Fabby

Who uses vim here?

@muru alive and kicking? ---^

if yes, could you review?

Serg

@Fabby approved

I know vim enough for simple editing. Muru is guru in vim tho

565656

@Fabby Is it possible for Indian Govt. to empty a residential colony for railway

@Fabby I am not Mudith I am Tim

Fabby

@565656 Mudith, I'm only a vorlon, not a god: I can't answer your question...

(sorry)

@565656 You're a time traveller as your answer that you're not Mudith comes before my statement! O_o

;-)

Brandin

16:03

@What's the purpose of the edit? :wq always rewrites the file. Does :x (never used it myself). If it doesn't actually write the file, then it's not a "shortcut"

Fabby

@Brandin that's why I skipped it!

(well, one of the reasons)

Serg

@Brandin it acts the same as :wq

565656

@Fabby yes I know I am Schiz

Fabby

@Brandin I can use basic vim, but nothing advanced...

David Foerster

16:07

Hej guys and gals, can you help me test a self-written and self-packaged Java program on Windows? Anyone with Windows running natively or inside a VM will do. I don't want to reboot my computer twice to access my Windows setup and go back to Linux.^^

Fabby

@Serg I know, but I didn't know whether it should be deleted from the answer or not in the revision...

@DavidFoerster I deleted Windows about 2 years ago by now...

Serg

@DavidFoerster only Ubuntu on my SSD,too. Sorry,bro

565656

@DavidFoerster Use VM

Fabby

I still have Win10 RC2 iso somewhere, so I could install that if really needed! :P

Serg

@Fabby I'd say if the edit doesn't hurt the answer, sure, why not ?

565656

16:09

@Fabby what is iso

David Foerster

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a (licensed) Windows copy myself, but set up to run inside a VM. I'll go down that route, if I have to, but I will likely not need it again, so I'm asking here.^^

Serg

@565656 it's a special file that contains data for installation . . . you install any OS from iso file . . .

kind of

Fabby

@Serg that's Why I didn't want to approve: not enough knowledge

@565656 it's basically a CD/DVD/Bluray disk in a file...

David Foerster

IF anyone is interested or curious: JAR file would be at www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~foerstda/KaleidOK/…. The project is hosted at github.com/davidfoerster/KaleidOK-examples.

Fabby

meaning: you can mount it, write it to CD/DVD, ...

565656

16:12

@Fabby Mount like root /

Fabby

@DavidFoerster And I don't have java installed neither! ;-(

@565656 mmmh, not really....

more like a read-only directory...

565656

@Fabby What is windows 10 RC2

@Fabby Means RC2

Fabby

@565656 It was what Windows 10 was before it was released...

565656

@Fabby means Beta

Fabby

I'm still in the Microsoft Certified Professional database for OSes

so every time a new OS comes out, I get it before anyone else...

@565656 After beta

Alpha - Beta - Release Candidate 1 - Release Candidate 2 - Release...

I get stuff as from the Beta stage, but I deleted all of them, except RC2...

565656

16:16

@Fabby i think all the piracy related to windows happens in china

Fabby

Piracy happens everywhere...

Brandin

I love how Java is cross-platform, yet not only do you have to test on multiple platforms, you also have to test on multiple Java runtime versions.

Fabby

... most of it nowadays: probably China and India, but that is because of demographics...

@Brandin It was very good when it came out...

Now, it's become a dragon IMHO....

Serg

Gosh, I'm loving my new keyboard shortcuts . . .@Fabby and @A.B. thanks for linking that question yo !

565656

@Fabby I think a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing as far as Windows is concerned

Fabby

16:19

@Serg :D No prob!

@565656 That is true with everything:

Chemistry, physics, biology, IT in general...

History, Psychology, medicine...

Chan-Ho Suh

@Fabby Economics, politics, ...

Fabby

@Chan-HoSuh Politics too???

I would say: the reverse is true!

:D :D :D

;-)

I'm going to fetch some food!

C U guys L8R!

Chan-Ho Suh

it is probably the most true with politics

565656

@Fabby In my neighborhood there is a computer shop who changes his shop name frequently

Chan-Ho Suh

@Fabby get me something too

Tim

16:22

@Fabby yep... I did pass all the audits tho so hope all my reviews are okay

I maxed every queue i could

David Foerster

@Brandin In my case I need to use native libraries, namely jOGL and its dependency gluegen.

565656

@Fabby L8R = Later?

Rinzwind

@565656 yes and fr8 is freigtht :-)

A.B.

@Serg =)

565656

@Rinzwind I am an Indian and not a commodity

Rinzwind

16:33

@565656 :D

muru

@Fabby reject. The docs agree with the original line.

565656

@Rinzwind Will burn all the Oil........

muru

Dammit. I accidentally rejected another edit. Didn't realise that I'd moved on to another edit in the limited area shown in mobile.

Somebody please approve askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/482759

Serg

@muru I already approved that vim edit . . . em . . . also the one you linked just now

Chan-Ho Suh

hmm why do people review Amazon products by only saying, "It arrived on time"

hbdgaf

16:48

@Chan-HoSuh No idea. Here's a review from me newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129141

Clearly, I know how to review the product instead of the seller.

Chan-Ho Suh

@hbdgaf wow, you must really love that card ... giving out your email :p

hbdgaf

My email was out already. No unringing that bell.

Serg

@Chan-HoSuh because they're impatient . . . also because people kind of don't pay enough attention to products, but instead to " customer service "

jrg

@Fabby That is my nerf gun collection at work. And you're welcome!

@Serg you're welcome. any questions, let me know and I'd be happy to help.

A.B.

@jrg You have a nerf gun collection?

jrg

16:51

waiting to hear back from my buddy in denver.

@A.B. I armed the office, and so I maintain control over most of them.

Fabby

@Tim Me too!

@565656 yes!

user136984

I am trying to fix a bug in gedit... Is there any way to download an earlier version of the source? Specifically the version that was running on GNOME 3.14 as the bug wasn't present then?

Serg

Soooo after 40th Fibonacci number, the recursive solution starts to lagg

A.B.

@ParanoidPanda packages.ubuntu.com/…

hbdgaf

@Serg Running it on a Pi or something? Sounds like you're memory limited. They do get further apart as the number go up though.

Rinzwind

16:54

@ParanoidPanda download the deb from ^ link

Serg

@hbdgaf java

Fabby

@muru Rejected...

@muru I already approved an hour ago... :P

muru

@Fabby thanks. @Serg you too (for the other edit)

Serg

^_^

user136984

@A.B.: So that's definitely the version then running under GNOME 3.14? :)

Serg

16:58

@muru still , just out of curriosity why reject the one with vim ? don't :x and :wq behave the same ?

Fabby

@Serg yes, and the OP was asking for shortcuts...

the shortcuts provided are valid, so removing one makes no sense (but I was referring to a higher authority)

muru

@Serg no, the file's modification time remains unchanged if no changes were made

With :x

With :w, it will change

Also, try it on a file without write permissions

Serg

@muru well, no write permissions, so it doesn't save in either case

565656

@Chan-HoSuh Sending you your share soon in Newyork

Chan-Ho Suh

@565656 ? what do you mean?

muru

17:04

@Serg no, Vim will prompt you if it you don't have write permissions on the file, but do have on the directory.

It will delete and recreate the file with the new contents

Serg

@muru just tried that in my home directory

muru

Iirc, if you use X and no changes were made, that becomes a noop

@Serg try :w!

I guess I made a mistake on that part

But with :X and no changes, its a noop in any case

565656

@Chan-HoSuh youtube.com/watch?v=AJwr0YtZ-I8

Serg

@muru that did it

:w!

Tim

@A.B. you are earning the most rep per day for how long you have been here

Tim

user136984

Xenial Xerus release schedule set.

Serg

I'm still on the second page, with 15.6k , just past @NathanOsman with 15.4k

Fabby

@Tim Yeah, but you've been around much longer and are much older then him! ;-)

Tim

17:20

@Fabby older?

Fabby

@Tim Not really: just yanking your chain...

>:-)

Tim

:P was gonna say!

i don't know many here I'm older than

Fabby

@Tim Chronologically: not many. Mentally? A TON!

Tim

Well perhaps...

I was talking about trains a lot and people started getting annoyed and saying I was 5...

Nathan Osman

@Serg O_o

You passed me!

Serg

17:23

^_^ by mere 200 rep, I'm sure you'll even that out soon @NathanOsman

Fabby

@Tim I know an 80-YO engineer who's still passionate about trains...

(but then he worked all his life on trains as an engineer )

Tim

See trains are cool :P

Fabby

;-)

user136984

I have a phobia of trains...

Serg

My grandfather used to work as train engineer . . .

long ago

Fabby

17:26

@ParanoidPanda You have a phobia of everything that's not on your computer!

(except chocolate cake!)

Serg

@ParanoidPanda trains are sexy :p

Fabby

@Tim They are... Especially the 200mph ones!

user136984

There are trains in my computer... :(

Tim

umm?

Serg

sl command

user136984

17:27

@Fabby: There is chocolate cake in my computer.

Serg

I'm still thinking somebody is hacking your system @ParanoidPanda and changing your aliases and commands

Tim

@Serg it's not just me... :P

Serg

i think you asked about cat before that was reasigned to something else, right ?

Fabby

@Tim High-speed trains...

Tim

yeah cat was him

user136984

17:27

The chocolate cake has jammed my fan...

Tim

@Fabby nah the trains in his computer... Wish there were fast trains in the UK. We struggle with trains on time...

Fabby

@Tim yup, I concur: it's the trains in @ParanoidPanda's computer...

Serg

how about a chocolate cake in shape of a steam locomotive ?

user136984

@Serg: Yeah, but I did a fresh install after that...

Tim

@Fabby I have a thing in my fan where if I tilt the computer, it sticks the fan and i have to prod a stick in to fix it...

Serg

17:29

@ParanoidPanda well, commands like sl don't appear randomly on your computer. It must have ben installed there somehow

by someone

cl-netbox

@Serg but don't forget to mix some vodka in it ... =)

Serg

xieerqi:$ alias cat='echo meow'

xieerqi:$ cat
meow

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda your personal nightmare CC: @Tim @Serg

user136984

@Serg: If I met a chocolate train I would probably become its worst nightmare... >:)

Fabby

@Tim :D :D Download the service manual for your computer,

open it up, remove the sticky bit...

Tim

17:30

@Fabby cos that exists :P

user136984

But more likely I would run away from it... :D

Fabby

(pun intended)

Serg

@ParanoidPanda high-five that's the panda I know and like

No, no running

it's chocolate yo !

Tim

You remember it's the unopenable computer...? :P

Fabby

@Tim yes...

That's why I said (pun intended)

user136984

17:31

Well, if it the size of a real train... I might consider running away... :P

user136984

Though if it wasn't a train that actually worked and was trying to kill me, I might have a bite... >:P

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda we all know that you'll be running towards the chocolate cake, regardless of its form!

The bigger, the better!

cl-netbox

@Fabby and where does the cake end ? ... =)

user136984

Yeah, I guess so! :D

Tim

urgh slow internet... what is life if you can't watch 1080p youtube on a 22" screen and listen on Bluetooth 4.1 headphones

other than really privalaged

Serg

17:32

Once I came back form Ukraine this summer, we went to Chayene or something . . .something North of Colorado . . .that town has biggest steam locomotive in the world. That things is a marvel

Fabby

@Tim Life's unfair and then you die!

(fact) >:-)

Serg

@Tim I watch youtube in 360p . . . on 1366x768 laptop screen

720 lags , though occasionally I had good results with HTML5

user136984

How about I run away and lure it into my kitchen? >:P

Tim

@Serg I really can't stand that tbh... I got my new screens, and didn't realise just how hd 1080p is... so full screen they look bad

cl-netbox

@Serg does it work in firefox for you now ?

Tim

17:34

ahh found the issue. I was downloading 2 iso files.

Serg

@cl-netbox yes, after new update came out.

cl-netbox

great ! :)

so it was firefox and not ubuntu issue ?

user136984

Oh, look what you've done now! Now I feel terrified of trains but desperately want to sink my teeth into them! :D

cl-netbox

better teeth in cake then ...

Fabby

@Tim :D :D :D

user136984

17:36

Ooh, I wonder if I can buy a chocolate cake trains set... Like the chocolate chess pieces... :D

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda Buy this for mum and ask her nicely...

user136984

:D

Serg

Fib and nachos

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda Cute trains

user136984

Wow! Face lights up

user136984

17:39

Tim

@Fabby who has -6 votes?

@NathanOsman nice typing user script :)

Nathan Osman

Thanks :)

Fabby

17:48

Yeah, how did we ever live without it?

(and once @Oli gets back from holiday, it'll be banned, just like @GeorgetheDev)

A.B.

@Tim :)

Fabby

>:-)

Tim

@Fabby why banned?

A.B.

@ParanoidPanda no idea, that's the Precise version, which you asked for

user136984

@A.B.: I don't think that I said anything about Precise.

Fabby

17:51

@Tim Oli banned George a few times from chat and now he's not allowed in any more...

Tim

what did George do? :P

Fabby

(and oli is on holiday, so I was just yanking his chain)

George was too chatty (according to Oli)

A.B.

@ParanoidPanda You said 12.04, not?

Nathan Osman

@Fabby what will be banned?

Serg

Running out of redbull , send reinforcement

Tim

17:53

Too chatty :P

lol

A.B.

@ParanoidPanda oh sorry, no

Fabby

@NathanOsman :D another one!

Oli is on holiday (as he hasn't been in chat for a while)

Nathan Osman

Okay...

Fabby

and everyone loves tour typing script)

so when oli gets back, the typing script will go the way of George

(was my joke!)

But apparently not a very good one... @NathanOsman

Nathan Osman

Let's be fair here - I can't really blame Oli for growing tired of George.

A.B.

17:56

@NathanOsman it's possible to show the username, if the pointer is over the avatar

Nathan Osman

But my script doesn't affect chat at all for anyone who doesn't have the script installed.

Fabby

@NathanOsman I can! I miss George!

Tim

what did george do again? was he just hi bye to everyone?

A.B.

Mouse pointer

Fabby

@Tim one of the things he did...

Nathan Osman

17:56

@Tim That was the annoying part but he could look stuff up on Wikipedia, run pings, DNS queries, etc.

Fabby

@Tim he also did look-ups on Wikipedia, gave excuses, showed the time, ...

----------------------------------------------------^ @NathanOsman

Nathan Osman

Heh.

user136984

George took control a long time ago, this is all part of his evil plan so that the moderators (Republic) are overthrown and the Empire can take over. And he can become the evil Emperor. >:)
