Q: Print smallest integer from file using awk custom function?

awk function looks like this in a file name fun.awk: { print small() } function small() { a[NR]=$0 smal=0 for(i=1;i<=3;i++) { if( a[i]<a[i+1]) smal=a[i] else smal=a[i+1] } return smal } The contents of awk.write: 1 23 32 The awk command is: awk -f fun.awk awk.write It gives me no...

hi @Seth

Hi @Seth ! :) DONE ! :)

hello folks

Varnish is up and running =)

Good afternoon my friend @A.B. ! :)

@cl-netbox :D

3:22 PM

Morning guys

@Serg Good morning Sir ! :)

^_^

@Serg hello my friend =D

@Seth Ouch, Ubuntu got only 8%, far behind Arch, Fedora, Debian and Mint... :-(

How's everybody today ? I just woke up, getting coffee . . .

3:27 PM

Ubunteros to the votes!

15 mins ago, by Seth

Everyone go vote for Ubuntu in this year's fossforce distro of of the year poll!

Where ? @ByteCommander

@Serg ^ there! ;-)

Voted . . .

@ByteCommander Hello ! :)

Hey!

Oh, who starred my message above? Please unstar, the message by Seth it links to already has 3 stars.

3:31 PM

Seth apparently unstarred it already :)

It was me by the way

I didn't touch it.

yikes! lots of flags. What have you guys been doing? ;p

Strange . . .the star disappeared all by itself on my screen, i didn't unstar

3:45 PM

Hello my friend @Ravan ... something new from the mail server ? :)

@blade19899 so . . . if one wants to make motherboard bios update we might no longer need freedos liveusb to do so ?

@Serg Nope :)

If people don't want to install Windows/dos, just to be able to update there firmware, they can still try to install fwupd now.

@cl-netbox hi

not yet @cl-netbox

3:49 PM

@Ravan probably a bad gateway ? ... hopefully not ! :D

@cl-netbox yeah, it will reach

but sometimes take time

@Serg Did you transform yourself into the second panda to start a panda (r)evolution on AU ? :D

@cl-netbox yes, I was an undercover panda spy all along Insert evil laugh noises here

@Ravan yeah maybe they are just too busy with other things ... :)

@cl-netbox see my profile askubuntu.com/users/439451/ravan?tab=profile

3:53 PM

@Serg OMG ! what do we have to expect now ? :D

@Ravan This will boost it enormously ! :D (but you should replace "to" with "for") :)

@cl-netbox Done

:)

well, its time to sleep

@Mateo given the source code to an Ubuntu Touch app, it will compile and spit out a .click package.

good night

@Ravan good night.

@Ravan good night :)

@Ravan sleep well :)

3:58 PM

@Seth Arch is currently winning that poll :P

@terdon is probably very much happy about that ^

:D

I'm quite happy with Arch,too, though. It's a very flexible distro, there's even raspberry-pi version

:) I'm also very fond of Debian.

You can vote only for one though

@Serg If you had to tell two advantages and two disadvantages of Arch in comparison to Ubuntu, what would you answer?

@ByteCommander big disadvantage #1 is that Arch isn't n00b friendly . . . There is arch wiki, but a n00b will be totally confused without it . . . .When I was installing Ubuntu, I had no idea what I was doing, and still managed to get 13.10 onto my laptop side-by-side with windows 7 just by following prompts in the installer . . .

Disadvantage #2 it uses systemd . . . .I prefer upstart . . . .But that's a personal one, and i had to fill in something for #2 ,so don't take that seriously :)

Advantage . . . probably because it is very very flexible

Not to say Ubuntu isn't flexible though . . . I don't think there's that much of what I couldn't do on Ubuntu that can be done on Arch

4:14 PM

@Serg I agree with this one ! :)

So . . .it's 9:18 AM . . .

What should I break today ?

@Serg Aha, thanks. It could maybe become my next distro when I get bored and have nothing better to do... Dual-boot with Ubuntu, of course! ;-)

@ByteCommander Dual boot ? Nah, start with virtual machine first , it way be way easier

Let me know if you need help with any of that

VM would require better HW first... :P

user139252

@Serg try Breaking your kernel. Write and load a malicious module that makes your boot fail

4:23 PM

You know, the thing I'm currently operating on almost still has tubes... :-/

@HeatherBrown writing module sounds like a good idea . . . I'm not on a level of writing malicious stuff yet , so I'll try something n00by and non malicious :p

@ByteCommander what year is it from ? model ?

I've got laptop from like 2008 . . . Highest processor it can have - dual core and the integrated graphics card . . . hmm, let me look it up

According to inxi -M (bug got finally fixed), it was assembled in Dec 2006.

CPU:       Single core Intel Pentium 4 (-HT-) cache: 2048 KB
           clock speeds: max: 3200 MHz 1: 3200 MHz 2: 3200 MHz

And ~3.1GB RAM. Everything I put in it more than that gets swallowed by the ancient chipset.

@ByteCommander nice

If I was a museum owner, I'd agree with you there.

And about the inxi bug, look at the maintainer's comment:

> Congratulations for having the first and possibly only system data set that would trigger this bug, my first assumption was some kind of system corruption, but this was a real bug, so thanks for taking the time to follow through.

hi

Close this Debian question: askubuntu.com/q/718681/367990

edward torvalds

which option can I use in fstab file by which a partition will be mount on clicking its icon rather than auto mounting on startup?

@edwardtorvalds Good question, tell me when you found it out, I need the same! :)

edward torvalds

haha, ok

5:06 PM

But noauto doesn't work. The drive symbols in Nautilus won't show up with that.

edward torvalds

@ByteCommander what does noauto does?

@NathanOsman cool, click builder. sounds neat - did you see this, popey.com/blog/2015/12/16/testing-ubuntu-apps-as-a-service

would be cool, build with yours, test with that

@edwardtorvalds It prevents automatic mounting of the device at boot or when you run sudo mount -a. But it doesn't make the drive icons appear in Nautilus to mount them with one click.

Question: what did one kernel said to another?

@edwardtorvalds no idea - what did it say ? =)

edward torvalds

@edwardtorvalds HaHaHa ... good ... =) in nearly every good humoristic thing there is some truth ... :)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox unix.stackexchange.com/q/254119/52733

cl-netbox tags people way too much :p

@edwardtorvalds +1 for this question - quite interesting ! :)

edward torvalds

thanks

@edwardtorvalds I tag nothing because I don't know what this is ... :)

@edwardtorvalds You're welcome ! :)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox why dont you +2 ?

why just +1 ?

5:28 PM

@edwardtorvalds I somehow didn't get it... But I don't care.

edward torvalds

what?

@edwardtorvalds is this possible ? or is this a joke from you ? :)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox haha

I didn't get the joke. I did not feel any need to laugh or even smile... :-/

@edwardtorvalds arch beats ubuntu ... is this a dream or a fake ? :D

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox inaccurate, will be better word

@Serg hi, what do you think? unix.stackexchange.com/q/254119/52733

@edwardtorvalds I don't think anything because I don't know anything about samba shares ^_^ . . .

5:33 PM

@edwardtorvalds please give him my +2 @Serg - I can't ... not enough reps ... HaHaHa =)

edward torvalds

@Serg it is not related to samba but rather to fstab file

Oh . . . well fstab is basically will mounts everything you tell it to mount on boot

edward torvalds

ok

You could create a function to mount it whenever you need it

edward torvalds

@Serg oh yes, one way to do it

5:35 PM

What is this about

edward torvalds

@Serg for that I will need trick to put shortcut in nautilus

@HenryWHHack What "this" you're referring to ?

@cl-netbox Can't help, my vote already was the first.

edward torvalds

@HenryWHHack about this? unix.stackexchange.com/q/254119/52733

OK

@Serg Wasn't that also an Easter egg in Nathan's GeorgeTheDev bot?

Question: what did touch command said to itself?

@RPiAwesomeness what is the status on your twich scope? the build I saw was pretty awesome, are you going to put it on the store?

@ByteCommander I don't remember if it was , but is an easter egg in my mkshrc now :D

edward torvalds

5:45 PM

@cl-netbox what did touch command said to itself?

@edwardtorvalds cannot touch "/this": Permission denied =)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox I cannot touch myself permission denied

touch: cannot touch ‘/bin/touch’: Permission denied

@edwardtorvalds nice ... =)

5:50 PM

@edwardtorvalds There's one thing for sure : you really have advanced skills ! :)

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox haha thanks

I am learning more with Arch than I could with Ubuntu :)

@cl-netbox want to see my desktop?

5:55 PM

@edwardtorvalds not bad - a technical approach - what DE is this ?

edward torvalds

@cl-netbox gnome 3.18

@ByteCommander lol, i remember this one, but i don't have aptitude on this machine. It's really nice easter egg

There used to be one in Unity . . .something about a gold-fish or fish . . . i don't remember

@edwardtorvalds Ah - I asked because the launcher is at the bottom - I have GNOME 3.18 in fedora.

@edwardtorvalds gnome + plank

edward torvalds

@Serg no plank

5:57 PM

@cl-netbox you can easily guess it was gnome because of the top panel

edward torvalds

its gnome's own dock

@Serg @cl-netbox or you can read my terminal output :) LOL

@edwardtorvalds it now has it's own dock ? nice !

edward torvalds

@Serg it always had

@Serg @edwardtorvalds HaHaHa I just did not even see it =)

Aaaah, i see what you did there . . .extension that moves the right side panel to bottom of the screen and pins it

edward torvalds

5:59 PM

yes

better than other docks

@Serg right side ? I have it on the left !

edward torvalds

does anyone knows the name of book on unix by its original authors?

no

@edwardtorvalds which book ?

edward torvalds

book about Unix operating system

6:01 PM

I have been using docks for a little while, then kind of stopped, because there's onlly two things I really use - terminal and web browser . . . and I can launch browser if i have terminal open . . .

amazon.com/…

@edwardtorvalds this one ? ^

edward torvalds

not this one

@edwardtorvalds show us the front cover of the book maybe ?

So going back to my earlier comment, I only really rely on terminal window being open . . . I can launch all sorts of programs form there using this function

function runstuff {
	nohup "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
}

That way, it's convenient for me to use any desktop . . . even 9wm and similar ones

@Serg Is there any difference between nohup PROGRAM and PROGRAM & disown?

@ByteCommander :)

I prefer the second one, because it doesn't create a nohup.out file.

6:12 PM

@ByteCommander um . . . disown is bash builtin i think

afk...

@ByteCommander if you redirect output to /dev/null it wont create a file

xieerqi:
$ type disown
disown not found


================
xieerqi:
$ bash
xieerqi@eagle:~$ type disown
disown is a shell builtin

@ByteCommander ^

Also . . . there is setsid . . . which i from time to time forget how to use

       The  shell  exits  by default upon receipt of a SIGHUP.  Before exiting, an interactive shell resends the SIGHUP to all
       jobs, running or stopped.  Stopped jobs are sent SIGCONT to ensure that they receive the SIGHUP.  To prevent the  shell
       from  sending  the  signal  to  a particular job, it should be removed from the jobs table with the disown builtin (see
       SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below) or marked to not receive SIGHUP using disown -h.

Also that . . . .^ from man page

6:43 PM

@Serg I've heard that petting Aluminium (or was it another metal? I am not 100% sure any more) is good against garlic odour on your hands... But I guess this is not too helpful unless you find a way to chew on that without endangering your health.

@ByteCommander I prefer listening metal, not eating it :D

I concur! :D

Why I'm eating garlic is because I am trying to kill-out whatever the germs and bacteria are still residing in my body , more specifically throat and lungs. I feel like my sickness isn't 100% cured, but have no idea what to do about it

@Serg Get some chamomile tea, raw honey, and cinnamon (I use organic but normal should work too). Make the tea and add 1 tablespoon raw honey and a 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the glass.

For some reason or other that does wonders.

I've chamomile but need to get honey and cinnamon.

Seems interesting . . .will try it out

6:56 PM

Between that, grapfruit seed extract, and some airborne I usually shake anything off in 2-3 days.

Oh, and chicken soup, if I'm really motivated.

As far as supplements go, I'm drinking emergen-c every day

@Serg And a cool metal ballad by Hammerfall to lift the mood! ;)

Hammerfall - Glory To The Brave

@Serg Getting lots of sleep is important too, something I guess you might have a hard time with lol.

Hmm... Actually that song is rather sad... Better go for Dragonforce then!

@Seth yeah . . . that's a bit of a problem . . . Last couple of days was alright , though. I've fallen asleep early , woke around 7-8 am.

@ByteCommander sad lyrics, true, but still a nice tune :)

7:01 PM

I think it's much better, because much more harmonic.

I wonder what happened to @KGIII

More pirate metal

RPi Awesomeness

@Mateo I haven't spent any more time on it. I think I could definitely polish it up and release it, but I've gotten involved in school and a project with some other people

I probably should do that

Won't be for a while though, what with the science fair I've got coming up and the group I'm with wanting to get a stable release going soon

The original Gary Moore - Out in the fields which Powerwolf covered so successfully in their last spontaneous album "Metallum Nostrum".

It's almost as great as powerwolf's version. :D

It's another anti-war song, btw.

Just like Mono Inc. - After the war.

Whoa, I need to close some windows. My RAM is overflowing...

Yikes! Someone has bitten a piece out of my gnome-terminal icon! :O

@ByteCommander hehe, because your RAM is overflowing, Unity started giving out parts of memory for other processes, rather than rendering your screen ( of course it's nonsense , I'm just joking )

I need to do something about my desk . . .too much stuff

And I've no idea what to do with pens and pencils and other stick-like items

Good ol' bait-and-switch.

7:57 PM

◔_◔

@Serg I still have 4.3GB free swap, so it shall munch up that and not my terminal icons, for Shuttleworth's sake! >:P

2

(That post would actually look nice on the star wall, dont you think? ;-) ^^)

@ByteCommander maybe it wanted the junk food instead of stupid healthy swap

Obviously terminated gnomes seem much tastier (if correctly fried) than swap disk space. Probably the latter one tastes like puffed rice platters...

Oh, hey!

After I closed Chromium to get some RAM back, the icon is complete again.

Starred for Shuttleworth's sake

Also . . .Why do you have so much swap ! O_O

@ByteCommander SEE???

:p

8:04 PM

you've 3 GB of ram, plus 4GB of swap O.o

@hbdgaf I'm deleting literally everything except the plugins and world folder on the server with the loading issue. We'll see what happens

only 3GB?

@Zacharee1 Well, 4GB of RAM bricks built in, but everything above 3.2GB gets thrown out by the ancient chipset...

lol

I didn't know that garlic lowers blood pressure . . . I had to balance out myself with coffee just now O_O

yikes

8:10 PM

And yes, I could probably reallocate another 2GB of swap space, but I'm not in the mood. That would mean much partition moving...

yup . . . .ate 3 cloves of garlic this morning, then started feeling sleepy and tired, and heavy in the shoulders, but then after a cup of coffee got better . . .

@ByteCommander And does your swap get used a lot ?

I'm currently at 6%, that's about 300MB.

Usually not more than 10%.

I mean usually

lol

Mostly it's around 1%.

8:13 PM

I've had a bit of issue in November where my laptop would just freeze . . . nothing would work, not even SYSRQ . . . I had 512MB swap file ( not a partition ). After I increased swap file to 1GB it stopped freezing it seems . . .

how much RAM?

6 GB

Aren't you supposed to at least match that?

But that's a nice amount, isn't it? Or do you game much?

I don't game much and it never did that . . . before I started using virtualbox actively . . .

In fact, I don't play anything but minecraft lately

8:16 PM

I never liked Minecraft to be honest.

@ByteCommander DONT YOU SAY THAT

Probably I became allergic against that cubic graphics by programming too much Blitz3D...

pls

lol, understandable . . .

I am alergic to IDEs, and blame Microsoft's Visual Studio for that

Although I don't have anything against other IDEs in general . . .but it's just not for me

What i am trying to say, sometimes one thing can poison your ability to use without prejudice certain type of things

one just has to keep in mind and recognize that

Time to go clean the car and drive my mom to work . . .see you later guys !

My very first IDE was the one that came with Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5. Funny how long that has been ago...

RPi Awesomeness

First IDE for me that I remember was technically the Visual Basic IDE.

But before I ever really did anything with VB I learned Python and have had to reason to go back :P

user139252

I tried using the CodeBlocks IDE a while ago, and it just never really looked good to me.

user139252

For some reason I'm just not a fan of IDEs in general. The closest I get to using one is the fact that I still enjoy messing around in RPG Maker XP.

user139252

Yes, XP. Not VX, or VX Ace, or whatever new, flashy thing they have out now.

RPi Awesomeness

I like Atom

VX Ace IIRC. I have a friend who uses it

user139252

8:52 PM

Atom is good because it's an IDE that doesn't try to be an IDE, it feels more like a regular text editor.

:) I agree @HeatherBrown

I settled down to Eclipse for Java and PyCharm for Python. For the rest, gedit and nano is good enough.

Q: Strange behaviour of 'sudo chmod -rwx': Does not remove group write permissions

I just ran the following command in a directory with several files, some owned by root, some by a normal user. I got a strange message: $ sudo chmod -rwx * chmod: example-file: new permissions are ----w----, not --------- Why the heck refuses chmod to clear all permissions, if a file had group...

permissions chmod

is that w for the owner?

No, it's the group write permissions.

I don't really know the order of that

9:36 PM

I just edited the title.

Weird that it would remove owner write perms, but not group

It's only with sudo chmod, I think. Not with normal user chmod.

But root does not need write permissions to change permissions or otherwise access/modify the file.

Weird

@ByteCommander: Oh, strange, I didn't see that...

user136984

Ok, well, I'll have a look! Thanks! :)

Who is running 14.04? I need an apt-cache policy output...

I am!

Or can anybody else tell me where libck-connector0 is located?

(I mean which repository part for trusty).

@Terrance apt-cache policy libck-connector0

libck-connector0:
Installed: 0.4.5-3.1ubuntu2
Candidate: 0.4.5-3.1ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 0.4.5-3.1ubuntu2 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This is strange. Is it possible to disable the main repository? o.O

I have no clue

10:11 PM

I agree but had to get it working, this is what I got

~$ sudo apt-cache policy libck-connector0  [sudo] password for skillshot:  libck-connector0:   Installed: 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1   Candidate: 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1   Version table:  *** 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1 0         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Possible downloaded and installed manually?

Yes, he did. Therefore it's localy cached.

Could you do me a favor and also test grep "^deb .*main" /etc/apt/sources.list?

grep "^deb .*main" /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main

Okay, thank you very much!

No problem! =)

@A.B. How do I find out which repositories are enabled? Is there a simpler trick than my grep statement above?

Is the use of the phrase "Afro-Engineered" politically incorrect? I thought so and edited it out of the answer here: askubuntu.com/posts/718668/revisions

Opinions?

Well...

and

answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070920101437AANZboN

maybe they don't mean it in that exact way, but the history seems pretty bad

10:33 PM

@A.B. Some wine for the apt-god: askubuntu.com/q/718396/367990

@hbdgaf YES!! I had to copy the plugins to a backup folder, delete the one on the server, then make a new plugins folder and copy them back in. For some reason that fixed it
