@NathanOsman perl question. I have subroutine , and pass argument to it. Long story short, I need to use one of the variables as reference. This doesn't work: my $method_out = $object->$_[3]; What can I do to work around this ?

Nevermind . . . this works :

  my $method = $_[3];
  my $method_out = $object->$method;

that script changes lockscreen background . By default , lockscreen shows user's desktop , but if you run like this: perl lock_screen_background.pl /usr/share/backgrounds/wetland.jpg - then you will have wetlands.jpg as your background image.

Perl version seems laggier when it locks than bash, though . . . But CPU usage is below 1% , which is cool

08:42

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD: What is that about? :D

user136984

@A.B.: Well, I tried Kubuntu 16.04.1 yesterday in a VM and let's just say that the installer was a little bit buggy... Well, in fact it was so buggy it killed my installation by disappearing halfway through and making me think the installation had finished and thus shutting it down. It also had some design issues, but I couldn't get it working properly after the half-installation so I had to delete it, I may give it another go and report some bugs if I get them again...

user136984

But shouldn't they really have got these sorts of bugs out of the release ISO by now?

Serg

@ParanoidPanda what coding languages do you "speak" ?

user136984

@Serg: Java

user136984

;)

Serg

08:47

and that's it ?

I thought you also have studied some javascript

user136984

Oh yes, well, plenty of others, that's just my sort of primary one.

user136984

@Serg: So yes, also JS, Python, some Perl, Shell scripting, C... I think there might be some more but those are the only ones which came to mind immediately.

user136984

:)

user136984

When you said "speak" I thought you meant like I could actually talk in when having a strange conversation with somebody which was about fruit and not programming. :P

Serg

Oky . . . So far I'm most confident in Python and shell , I started Perl yesterday ( so figuring it out so far ). I've done some C and Java , but I'm gonna need to get back to these because I got rusty . That makes it sort of 5 . . .

Ruby is next, so that's gonna be 6

HA, I think that coversation would be exclusively made out of print statements

user136984

08:52

I did Ruby a long time back, but I don't really remember it very well.

user136984

As I think I said before though, it only took me 12 hours to learn JS so...

user136984

If I need it, I'll just learn it real quick.

user136984

Also, something funny from the Olympic ceremony:

user136984

Serg

08:55

Yeah, learning programming languages goes a lot faster when you know one or two languages already. I'm picking up Perl in these two days pretty well , I'd say. It sure isn't top notch, but at least I'm making something

user136984

The above images were taken at the closing ceremony of the Olympics... :D

user136984

It's the Japanese PM dressed up as Super Mario coming out of a large green pipe which popped out of the ground (because they are hosting the Olympics in 2020)! :D

Serg

Wow, it's going to be in Japan ? Daaaaym !

Takkat

a huge improvement that is... next to hear should be "Supper's Ready"

@Takkat dancing with the moonlit king is from the Peter Gabriel years, right? Collins on drums?

I don't know that it does, I'm only assuming so

user136984

I thought it got those kind of applications from the GNOME stack?

Serg

@terdon just use gnome-screenshot , it's the same

OK, now i'm really gone

terdon

@Serg Yes, but it's probably not installed and installing it would bring loads of Gnome dependencies. I have a user on U&L wanting to take a screenshot of Unity running in a VM. For some reason, the host system can't do it and I don't want to tell him to install what could be a few hundred megs of dependencies just to get a screenshot program.

Serg

@terdon it is installed , by default

user136984

I have a proprietary plug-in that I made for an IDE. I do have plans to make it open-source in the future, but not until I get some major updates in as I simply do not have the time at the moment. But I would like to set up a bug tracker for it for the time being. Do you guys know if LaunchPad would be an ok place or whether they only deal with actual packages that can go into Linux repositories?

terdon

@ParanoidPanda Why don't you just go to the launchpad site, click on the "terms of use" link at the bottom, then the "Project Licencing Policy" and read that?

user136984

@terdon: Well, I'm sure they allow proprietary projects there, I've seen them there before, such as their website and Skype. I'm just wanting to know if all things are welcome to use their bug tracker or if it's only packages which can go into repositories. And as mine is a plugin for an IDE I don't know if that would be fine there, but I suppose I could ask.

terdon

@ParanoidPanda Did you read the page I mentioned?

user136984

No, and seems I was wrong, which is strange, because how does Skype get away with it then and why do they have a "Proprietary" level for bugs?

terdon

@ParanoidPanda Well then, I suggest you do so. It explains what you're asking about quite clearly.

They allow projects that don't share their code, just not for free.

user136984

12:14

Ah... Well, that's a little mean...

user136984

Do you know of any other bug trackers that would be free and fine with proprietary stuff?

terdon

I don't understand why in the world you're making this closed source.

user136984

Do you realise how many shopping lists will be hidden away randomly in that code?

user136984

12:38

@terdon: No, that's not really the main problem at the moment, I don't think that there are many too strange and unprecedented things in my code. Just that the UI and the actual plugin are currently separate projects in my IDE and are not at all connected at the moment in the code for convenience purposes (running the plugin runs a new version of the IDE and takes ages, running the UI by itself is much faster and allows tests to be run easier).

user136984

So it's not really feasible at the moment to make it open-source. I also don't really have the time, but I would like to get a bug tracker set up.

terdon

I don't see the problem. Just open source it, you're not claiming it's clean. That's kinda the whole point of FOSS.

user136984

@terdon: I would kind of prefer it to be clean and stable before I open the source. It's not too far away, maybe another month or two.

user136984

But I've only got like 3 more major things to do.

Sometimes the voting system makes mistakes... askubuntu.com/a/814228/527350

Got a negative score on an answer that fixed the OP's problem. :0

Actually, overall I made around -8 on that post because someone went and downvoted three other posts of mine right after downvoting that one.

edwinksl

@anonymous2 not sure why you wrote an answer actually

you even referenced the dupe target in your post

flagging as dupe is better

anonymous2

I did that too, but kind of as an after thought.

I had had the problem before, so I posted the answer, then realised it probably had a dupe, so found it, posted in the link and then flagged.

I guess I shouldn't have bothered posting the answer, though.

edwinksl

i upvoted for your effort but the downvote might been happened because someone thought you copied and pasted from the dupe target

anonymous2

Quite possible.

To be honest, I don't remember where I originally got that solution.

edwinksl

anyway, it is no big deal

anonymous2

17:53

Nope. Thought about making a meta post about it, but then thought, "Duh, idiot. What's 8 points out of 1200 anyhow?"

I did think it was funny that I got a negative score on a post that solved the OP's problem. First time it's happened... to me. :)

In any case, don't dupes get removed eventually?

Android N is out

edwinksl

the downvoting might be reversed if the system thinks it is serial downvoting

Q: How to change my SVN weak password from command line?

I'm familiar with git but totally new to svn, so forgive me for my ignorance. I have been given access to an svn repository but as I am paranoiac when it comes to security issues, I need to change the weak password I have been given. How to do that from command line?

@Zacharee1 Let's see how long it takes before OnePlus gets this out to OP3 users.

I can't believe everyone's so excited about new emoji. "Yay, this is so cutting edge! Moar icons!!1!"

@CodeX they say it should be better

@Zacharee1 "they" said the same about Android 6.0.1 .. but in my experience .. android 4.4 has much better battery life ..even more than 5.1

Maybe a broad question, but I would like to know if is there any difference between those distros regarding security and privacy. For instance, I was not able to find an official privacy policy for linux mint and I read ubuntu shares dash typed info with third-parties if not opt-out. Which respec...
