Q: sudo apt-get update returns an error

I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate somewhere. I apologize for the repeat. I'm running Xubuntu 14.04. For some odd reason my pc is running slow today, so I thought it might have something to do with the software, so I did an update, and sudo apt-get update returns an error: E: Could not get lock...

12:54 AM

200 commits ._.

leeel

@KazWolfe what'd you do? I can't accept or view online

you messed it up lol :D

i submitted a PR with HTTP/HTTPS support

ahh

resubmit maybe?

And you patched it a different bad way

well ok then :p

12:57 AM

just accept and overwrite

merge the PR, overwriting any changes.

I can't :(

why not

what error?

lol what even happened? isn't this just a merge?

zach edited as i submitted a merge request

yeah

I need to use command line to verify

12:58 AM

@Zacharee1 putting le git skillz to work

chaskes

^^ funny

well I think it worked...

yup

guys, I kind of need a good review on bash and REGEX

but is this a good regex for an IP address?

$IP =~ [0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}

like:
if [[ IP =~ [0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3} ]]; then
    echo "Valid IP"
fi

@Zacharee1 nope merge is still open

@IanC i liked the chapters about bash in The Linux Command Line

it's a free book

1:12 AM

it was the book I read, but I really need to read it again

I kinda forgot lots of stuff, so I need to open it everytime I'm working on a script

which is kind of frustrating, having to relearn stuff to code

well most people certainly don't write shell scripts every day... i will soon forget all my bash too :/

@Zacharee1 Accept the pull request ;-;

regex would be useful to memorize though @edwinksl, and at least the basic syntax. I feel kind of lame having to check the if-case-for-test syntax everytime I write a script haha

@KazWolfe but it said it was merged o-O

chaskes

This is about burning a CentOS image: askubuntu.com/questions/507450/…

1:16 AM

conflicts needs resolution. see the online thing

@chaskes still on topic. It's about burning ISOs to a DVD from Ubuntu

@KazWolfe GitHub Desktop has no instructions on how to do it

and I don't have the CLI

github online will help

how

what

where

when

why

chaskes

@Zacharee1 I guess you're right, but it's really a CentOS bug that the image is so large.

@IanC there is nothing much to memorize for regex, at least for me. it is more about getting practice, but i also don't get to use regex a lot daily :/

1:18 AM

it will guide you @Zacharee1

@chaskes yeah, but the Q isn't about that :p

@KazWolfe I really don't want to install the CLI for Windows

there's a resolve conflicts thingy on the webpage

aha

it finally opened the View in GH Dekstop link

in GH Desktop

@Zacharee1 or give kazwolfe collaborator permissions to your repo

hao

1:20 AM

do i need to teach you github lol

THERE?

DID I DO IT?

yes

you did

YAY :D

uh oh

look at the readme :D

oh god. i see what you did

the HEAD thing you or something put in broke the script

1:22 AM

no, that was github

@edwinksl for some reason the regex is not working on the test, I'm almost skipping it for now, I'm the only one who will use the script anyways :p

there?

er...

I don't think Tampermonkey likes the wildcards for HTTP/S

it does, @Zacharee1, it's the spec.

1:24 AM

hmm

then what's going on

it doesn't like the 40 entries

remove all of these:

OH

how did those get there? I swear they were deleted

@KazWolfe I sent a collab invite

i can fix

so i will

or you got it lol

yay git

still not working?

AHA

weird. Tampermonkey didn't actually update it..

well... there you go lol

so snazzy install button is snazzy.

1:27 AM

heheheh

yesh

if you want, @Zacharee1, I can just run maintenance on your repo.

oh plz

So stuff like issue tagging, merge management, the readme stuff, et al...

wanna help me comment? >:P

leave the code to you because i don't understand css at all.

1:28 AM

finally, it's working!!!
if [[ "$IP" =~ ^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}$ ]]; then

@IanC that matches 332.852.19.965 which is not a valid IP.

@KazWolfe well it just takes searching the class (without the dot) in the Dev Console and then hovering over it to see what it's for

@IanC oh yeah remember to escape the period

@KazWolfe yeah, you're right, but it's supposed to be just a simple check to avoid some typos while running the script

not that writing a number higher than 255 couldn't happen, I'll think about some better regex later

regextester.com/22

@IanC

1:32 AM

@edwinksl the issue was actually not escaping it and not using ^ and $, so if there was a valid IP inside an invalid one he would accept it (like 1232.34.23.12334 -> 232.34.23.123 is valid so he would accept it)

hey @Zacharee1, what do you think of the name StackExchange@Night?

Or Night@StackExchange?

@KazWolfe Thanks! That will suit better :)

sure @KazWolfe

I'm not exactly in love with se-dark :p

especially since there's going to be a file named sedark.css for the actual SE website eventually

woah kaz cleaning house for zach

changes to readme pushed

1:46 AM

@KazWolfe is your issue for me or general?

in general

hence the help wanted tag

OK

@KazWolfe maybe I should make some previews for the sites?

That's not a bad idea

you should make a github-pages thing for it.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Severus Tux

Hi all :D

2:08 AM

zacharee.github.io/se-dark

wat

how does one folder

i got tricked

lel

doing it now

nice b8 m8

srsly tho

hao folder

2:09 AM

you maek folder

mkdir?

they forked it instead of PR github.com/bvanrijn/se-dark/commit/…

sigh

you fork first

then you submit a pr

rly

GH hao werk

@KazWolfe how do I make folders in my repo?

@Zacharee1 mkdir them, and then git add

or add folder in thingy.

2:11 AM

errggg

note that if the dir is empty, git ignores it

there's no way to make online?

@Zacharee1 go to create new file

k

then add directory as needed in the path

2:13 AM

ohhh

@Zacharee1 I made a new branch.

but y do dis online like a n00b

gh-pages. Usethis for website.

oh

@Zacharee1 i see it worked

2:15 AM

or @Zacharee1

yeah but Kaz made a branch ;p

why are you being hard lol

IDK

IDK WHAT IM DOING

AKKKK

github.com/zacharee/se-dark/settings

Scroll down

There will be a "GitHub Pages" thing

No, it's published

to the branch you made

can I delete files in this branch?

without affecting master?

2:17 AM

you can

@Zacharee1, just use the auto-page maker.

@Zacharee1 hehe, le pain of learning git

glhf

github is painful at first lol

OK opened generator

yeah the fork PR workflow might be unfamiliar to some

start making a basic page lol @Zacharee1

2:19 AM

doing it

i could make a site for you using pelican SSG but i think you just need a single html file for homepage and that's it right?

basically

then no need for a SSG. just write good old html from scratch

time to test the script for real, I've been editing the test on stdout for now, now I'll edit the actual configuration files as root, so hopefully I didn't screw up anywhere :p

@IanC good luck

2:23 AM

drums

wait, before I do this

can I redirect the output to a file after reading it like:

cat somefile | sed "s/pattern/newtext/" > somefile

or will it erase the file before reading it?

why do you need to cat

OK site started

why not do sed -i 's/pattern/newtext/g' somefile

gn

@Zacharee1 fancy fancy

2:29 AM

@edwinksl well, that actually solves the redirection issue too!

@IanC yeah when you have a pipe after a cat, most likely you don't need said cat

@edwinksl I was worried the redirection would open the file in write mode, erasing every content of it before cat piped to sed, so it would end up erasing the file

the only reason you thought you needed to redirect to file was because you had a cat

just use sed -i

@Zacharee1, take a look at the top :)

Ahh. cat abuse.

@KazWolfe mad skillz

Pro Tip: if you are working out on a treadmill, don't fall off...

that's what I mean when I say I need to read the bash book over again :p

@TheXed that's good advice, had a bad day at gym?

Well no...not until I got ready to turn it off.. I reached up to turn it off, my arm got tangled in my headphones...my phone went flying, bounced off the treadmill onto the floor, and I went the other way...

but on the bright side, I learned that the Microsoft Lumia 950 is extremely durable...not even a scratch...

and it is naked...

did anyone see you?

No I was the only one there...

2:42 AM

get embarrassed in front of any attractive members of the opposite sex?

then you're fine.

Just the camera...

if nobody else saw it, it didn't happen

it'll be on youtube by next Thursday.

Yeah probably,,,

I don't go to the Gym often because I usually get my steps in during the day...but when I do I always make sure to cause my self great bodily harm with the gym equipment and destroy some piece of electronic equipment :-P

2:58 AM

who the heck thought it was a good idea to have gestures on a mouse pad?

Seth

3:15 AM

@TheXed I think the apple people started it?

everytime I touch my mouse bad it thinks I want to go back to the previous page on my browser...so damn annoying

wooo, script is working and I didn't break the OS (so far!) :D

I think it is just time for me to quit, i just poured water all over the couch...

Nathan Osman

At least it was just water.

well, at least it's just water

barely missed my laptop...

You guys should see my wound though...it is pretty gnarly looking...

looks like a road rash?

Anyone think "Lunix" was a little funny?

Nathan Osman

3:37 AM

A tad, perhaps.

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called " xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", whi…
