Happy New Year Guys! My issue: I have a usb POS printer that needs to be connected as /dev/usb/lp0 I created this udev rule --> SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0525", ATTRS{idProduct}=="a700", SYMLINK+="usb/lp0"in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules but my printer only gets recognized as /d...

TheXed

@RolandiXor, well...he died again.

Thomas Ward

Kaz Wolfe

RolandiXor

@ThomasWard that was my second suggestion.

Kaz Wolfe

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe the orbital arrays wait for no-one

RolandiXor

@KazWolfe he's a bot.

Thomas Ward

they are indeed evil-fast

@RolandiXor only half-right

I'm part Borg, part human, part noncorporeal entity.

Thomas Ward

@RolandiXor I see you are stunned by the magnificence of my existence.

:P

RolandiXor

@TheXed nope

Thomas Ward

I am connected always to the Internet, and the physical planes, but also the celestial and multiversal planes as well :P

RolandiXor

multitasking atm

@ThomasWard no, rather I am stunned by the simplicity :O

TheXed

@RolandiXor I sent it last night, check it out when you get a chance...

Thomas Ward

@RolandiXor ah, I see. :P

RolandiXor

9:43 PM

I am at least 75 beings in one...

@TheXed ohhhh

I did sorry

I was so busy I forgot to reply

Thomas Ward

@RolandiXor ah, i see. Well, I am known by fifty thousand names on fifty thousand different planes of existence.

:)

RolandiXor

@ThomasWard impressive!

TheXed

@RolandiXor no worries, I just wanted to make sure because it is a pretty cool site.

Nathan Osman

Update is complete.

RolandiXor

@TheXed I think I have heard of it but I can't remember for sure off hand

TheXed

9:45 PM

If you join it let me know. I will follow you :-D

RolandiXor

@TheXed sweet

I wonder if they give out prizes outside the US

Nathan Osman

Nougat. Wow.

RolandiXor

@NathanOsman tasty?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman oh right, the OP3 got Nougat

Nathan Osman

It's... interesting.

So what's new in the update?

Zacharee1

9:48 PM

for Oxygen?

probably not much

there's the new Android Secret

Nathan Osman

Split screen works!

@Zacharee1 what's that?

Zacharee1

you know when you tap the version number a bunch of times, get the version logo and then tap that a few times?

it's a feeding thing in 7

TheXed

@RolandiXor not sure...

I don't do it for the prizes, I just do it so my self esteem is over inflated...(in my own mind)

RolandiXor

@TheXed haha sort of like me and instagram

@RolandiXor lol

TheXed

9:53 PM

I love street photography, but I am afraid someone is going to punch me in the nose if I take their picture without their permission...not because it is illegal, but because that is how people are here in the good ol' US of A.

RolandiXor

@TheXed trust me, that's people these days - period

Zacharee1

@TheXed I mean, it is a little weird...

Korean phones don't let you mute the shutter sound

DUAL BOOTING LOS

eeek

TheXed

@Zacharee1 it might be a little weird, but if I am in a public place then my 2nd amendment right is in full effect...

TheXed

10:00 PM

@ByteCommander there is a limit?

Zacharee1

Byte Commander

Zacharee1

10:17 PM

CM takes like 5 seconds to boot

TheXed

I wonder when I am going to get my part list...

I had one of my vendors spec me out a custom build gaming computer...

and gave him a budget...

Zacharee1

never

IanC

so, is it 2017 there already?

TheXed

He said he thinks he can get me about 32Gbs of ram, I5 processor and some fancy SSD drive with the budget...

Zacharee1

@TheXed sounds nice

TheXed

10:21 PM

He said the SSD thing was like 3 times faster then standard SSD...

Zacharee1

NVMe?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe As someone suggested I wrote a new question just now that is similar to script like they suggested but based on keyboard shortcuts which always seem to get accepted as non-dupe because they are unique: askubuntu.com/questions/866619/…

Videonauth

@Zacharee1 German phone dont let you shut it down as well unless you have root acceess

Zacharee1

lol

TheXed

@Zacharee1 it might be...I can't remember what he called it...

@TheXed Krita can handle RAW files

10:35 PM

I forget how to put in user name hyper-link... it's something like "user:999999". Can someone clue me in please?

Nathan Osman

10:53 PM

Where? In chat?

Zacharee1

[user:-1]

Happy new year from germany

now i have to find my kitty and calm her

poor thing

IanC

still 3 hours for new year here, but I'm probably going to sleep through it, so Happy new year from Brazil!

:)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

11:11 PM

@IanC Happy New Year to you too :) You might get the job of president next year since the previous two aren't fairing so well!

Videonauth

@WinEunuuchs2Unix now its to decide if thats a well meaning whish or a death thread lol

Kaz Wolfe

@Videonauth NSA here.

Threat will be taken accordingly.

Videonauth

lol

WinEunuuchs2Unix

LOL @Videonauth Good timing I'm sending a msg to @Zacharee1 that [user:-522934] doesn't bring up your name in my Answer post: askubuntu.com/questions/866519/…

Videonauth

@[videonauth](http://askubuntu.com/users/522934/videonauth)

have you tried it this way ;)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

11:21 PM

I will now...hang on

Well that works but not what I had in mind. It's the proper way to format comment hyper-links that I never use...LOL

Videonauth

yeah i know there is an easier way, but i never made it work properly so i stopped wasting time and putting hyperlinks simply

WinEunuuchs2Unix

haha well that changed two times and disappeared :p

Videonauth

yep like i said i became tired with fiddling with this im if using normal links instead

@videonauth

WinEunuuchs2Unix

One of my problems is people will tell me how do something... I'll use it that day and forget it within a week. I really need some sort of automated diary system. Where is Serg to write a Python Indicator when you need one...LOL

It's like the tag syntax.... I learned it 3 months ago had to ask again a couple days ago and will forget it in a week if I don't use it within that time frame.

Q: What's your view on marking historical questions as dupes of your question?

I had posted a question (How do I setup Keyboard Macros?) because I couldn't find a dupe of it with an answer. About an hour later I found a solution and answered my own question. Now my quandary... Do I go to those historical questions and mark them as dupes of my recently posted Question and s...

discussion duplicates
