Had the funniest conversation the first time I met one of them. Told them how I was being used (fix this fix that, no set position). First words out of their mouth "So, you're going in to management?"

Fabby

:D :D :D

terdon

@hbdgaf Of course you answered that no, you actually fix stuff :)

Peret Finctor

Fabby

@terdon >:)

hbdgaf

@terdon Well, I think grunts should run their daily routines and run the business. In the context of retail, I think managers should be fixing problems and making sure everyone is actually running their routines. I neglected to answer.

Fabby

So, I would like to go to sleep: Have you got tox up-and-running yet??? @terdon

hbdgaf

Nope. His from AUR build is doing this:

Peret Finctor

I hope to see linux without file permissions one day. But this means rewriting everything from the most basic stuff, so nope, not gonna happen.

Fabby

@terdon You're a chat mod so I shouldn't be asking "Did you get my ID in time?"

terdon

@Fabby Thanks, but, umm, the tox client I installed just segfaulted. It's too late for this crap, I'll ask you again tomorrow if you don't mind.

Fabby

00:11

Good!

terdon

@Fabby Indeed :)

Peret Finctor

That's not going to change much anyway.

Fabby

Good night!

Oh, yeah, sleep.

@Seth found it online when I had KDE. My RAM would go to like 6/8 GB after 5 hours. I don't have time to find it right now, but it shouldn't be hard

@Zacharee1 was it this one? bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/98783

No, no it wasn't. It did go down slightly if I closed Chrome, but it always steadily increased no matter what. I switched to GNOME and it disappeared. Never had the problem in Unity

I've created proposal for LibreOffice assuming it may be helpful. But one says it is also on-topic on SuperUser. Then I also checked AskUbuntu and found that: 41 followers, 1.1k questions. So, What should I do? Delete proposal ; or leave exist? If you've suggestion for improving site description then also ask me.

user136984

@Fabby: I figured out my problem by the way! :)

fossfreedom

well done @ParanoidPanda

Pandya

Was my decision/idea of proposal wrong? Help me to decide. If there is no problem with proposal of LibreOffice, then welcome to join if interested.

As I thought - looks like a bug. Just make sure that info is added to your bug report

@fossfreedom: Yeah, the GNOME3 Remix team and I are figuring it out...

@fossfreedom Are you using LibreOffice? what do you think about chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/26026610#26026610 ?

fossfreedom

11:11

@Pandya I do use libreoffice - but in a very basic way - and yes - I tend to use superuser when I need to find out something specific.

I'm not convinced a dedicated SE site will help here - superuser has all of this stuff covered. What specifically do you think a dedicated SE site will help with here over and above what superuser has?

user136984

I've only got 4 close votes remaining! :D

user136984

Should I use them up or wait? :D

Pandya

@fossfreedom OK. I have not much idea currently and I also asked for suggestion for improving site description. I think I should look at superuser.com/help/on-topic first before proposal but as I said...... should delete? or.... now?

fossfreedom

I wouldnt delete - proposals come and go - you never know when something like this is just what the wider world is after

@ParanoidPanda which?

I mean any link/information about new ones?

@Pandya that's because no one burns DVDs anymore ... all to save space on the main ISO

no - the proposal to drop the "deemed obsolete" disc burning utility from the 14.04 image

Dunno. Any RegEx experts here at the moment?

I need to match the pattern {(.*?)}, but not {{(.*?)}}. How can this be done?

Fabby

@kos: -----^ ???

Byte Commander

I thought of [^{]?{{(.*?)}}[^}]?, but that doesn't work.

kos

@ByteCommander {[^{}]*}

No wait, post an example of the input and the text to match

terdon

@ByteCommander On what input and using what tool, what regex flavor?

Byte Commander

match {this group} but not {{that one}} for example.

I'm using Python's re module:

terdon

16:35

That's PCRE, I think. This should work:

{[^{}]*}

Byte Commander

re.findall(pattern, string)

user136984

Does anyone know of a GUI for firewalld?

Byte Commander

Should return a list of the inner groups:

terdon

You might need to escape the outer { } though: \{[^{}]*\}

$ echo "match {this group} but not {{that one}} for example." | grep -oP '{[^{}]*}'
{this group}
{that one}

Byte Commander

["this group"]

terdon

16:38

@ByteCommander Yes, did you try the one I gave you?

kos

@ByteCommander {[^{}]*} should be fine.

Byte Commander

>>> string="match {this group} but not {{that one}} for example."
>>> pattern="{[^{}]*}"
>>> re.findall(pattern, string)
['{this group}', '{that one}']

But I need the output ['this group']

@kos It is not, as you can see.

kos

@ByteCommander I know, I thought terdon's message was yours.

@ByteCommander Can there be multiple nested braces? Like {{{foo}}}

terdon

@ByteCommander Ah, OK, then you'll need a lookbehind. Or just capture it, let me see how Python does that.

Yeah, capturing works:

pattern="{([^{}]*)}"

>>> re.findall(pattern, string)
['this group', 'that one']

Byte Commander

@kos Usually only 2 should be allowed.

kos

16:43

@ByteCommander Hold on maybe it doesn't matter. [^{]\{.*?\}[^}]

Byte Commander

Wasn't that what I initially had?

>>> re.findall('[^{]\{.*?\}[^}]', string)
[' {this group} ', ' {{that one}} ']

@kos Nope.

I need to eliminate "that one". :P

kos

@ByteCommander Right, [^{]\{[^{}]*\}[^}]

terdon

@ByteCommander try the last one I gave you. You need to capture the part of the string you want.

kos

@terdon I understand he doesn't want the inner group if it's surrounded by braces

terdon

>>> string="match {this group} but not {{that one}} for example."
>>> pattern="{([^{}]*)}"
>>> re.findall(pattern, string)
['this group', 'that one']

@terdon Yours did not eliminate "that one".

terdon

Oh. I hadn't realized you needed it to. Sorry.

Byte Commander

@kos Correct. Now I only need to add the group braces...

kos

@ByteCommander Hm? What's wrong with that one?

terdon

Here you go:

>>> pattern="(?<!{){([^{}]+)}"
>>> re.findall(pattern, string)
['this group']
