@NathanOsman is NitroShare gonna be OSS?

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 It is and always has been: github.com/nitroshare

Q: Strange artifacts along window borders after waking from Suspend

So today I woke up my (mostly clean) installation of Ubuntu 16.04 from Suspend, only to find that I get strange artifacts along the window borders, for all applications: I have an Nvidia GTX 650 graphics card, and I am currently using the Nvidia-375.39 driver. Any ideas as to what might be go...

@Zacharee1 @NathanOsman Any ideas --^ ?

Zacharee1

it's pretty...

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 What theme?

On the Android app?

Zacharee1

00:44

yeah

Nathan Osman

To what?

It's Material.

Zacharee1

the screenshots are default

I mean the color scheme

Nathan Osman

Of the app?

But whyyyyyyy?

Zacharee1

I can submit a PR

do it all for you :p

Nathan Osman

Uh-oh...

@Zacharee1 If you can convince me there are better colors, go for it.

Zacharee1

00:45

don't be surprised if you find an iage of @Serg in it somewhere though

@NathanOsman materialpalette.com

Nathan Osman

Lol. I review pull requests.

@Zacharee1 I did all that and the ones I picked were (IMHO) the best.

Zacharee1

hence finding it

@NathanOsman so you picked the default AS colors?

Nathan Osman

The default ones are the best, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zacharee1

I find them blegh

lemme get a palette

Nathan Osman

Please do. I welcome your input.

Zacharee1

00:47

how's this look materialpalette.com/indigo/deep-purple

it's nice and calming

instead of that weird jarring feeling I always get from the default magenta and blue

Nathan Osman

The second color is too similar.

It doesn't stand out from the rest very much.

(The accent color.)

AFK - supper.

Zacharee1

materialpalette.com/indigo/light-blue

Nathan Osman

Do those colors go together?

Zacharee1

I think so

but lemme get another

materialpalette.com/deep-purple/green

Serg

@Zacharee1 define "iage" ?

Zacharee1

00:59

> iage, n: derpy misspelling of 'image'

Good job , Zach-oogle !

Yes . . .we can

Zacharee1

Android Dev

@Serg Any ideas: askubuntu.com/questions/896221/… ?

Zacharee1

this patch changed my boot animation...

Android Dev

@Zacharee1 That happened to me once too.. so annoying

Zacharee1

in Android on Stack Overflow Chat, 10 hours ago, by Raghav Sood

> In Soviet Russia, spam deletes you!

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 The only difference between that one and what I have now is that the one I have now uses pink as the accent color.

Zacharee1

01:12

@NathanOsman pink is the problem

Nathan Osman

Green... just... doesn't...

Well. It doesn't.

Zacharee1

you doesn't

Go Garish materialpalette.com/yellow/amber

Nathan Osman

Deep purple and purple might work.

Zacharee1

why isn't my TM working?

@NathanOsman do purple and indigo

Nathan Osman

Indigo and purple might work.

Zacharee1

01:15

purple as base

Nathan Osman

No.

Too bright.

This might work: materialpalette.com/indigo/purple

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman use deep purple

materialpalette.com/indigo/deep-purple

Nathan Osman

Not enough contrast.

Zacharee1

really?

Nathan Osman

How about: materialpalette.com/indigo/red

Zacharee1

01:17

that's just weird :p

Nathan Osman

I could live with this one: materialpalette.com/indigo/grey

Zacharee1

boring

materialpalette.com/grey/grey

weird

Nathan Osman

Think outside the ~~box~~ palette.

Zacharee1

materialpalette.com/green/amber

Nathan Osman

No!

Zacharee1

01:19

materialpalette.com/green/lime

Nathan Osman

Here is the existing color scheme for the app branding: nitroshare.net

That might help inspire you.

Zacharee1

none?

Nathan Osman

The blue and purple.

...and white and black.

And light grey.

Zacharee1

materialpalette.com/blue-grey/brown?

Nathan Osman

Brown, yuck.

Not bad. The purple and gold thing would have worked for nitroshare though. Purple for the outer logo, gold for the lightening bolt. Theme from the logo holds on the page

Serg

@AndroidDev not my department, sorry. Ask @cl-netbox

Nathan Osman

GAAAAH.

Our idiot government was idiotic again.

Zacharee1

01:29

well we've lost internet privacy in the US

Nathan Osman

It's like the US said, "hue, hue - watch us elect Trump" and Canada just said "hold my beer".

Zacharee1

what now

Nathan Osman

Le facepalm.

Bill M103.

Stupidest thing I ever saw in print.

Zacharee1

wat

Nathan Osman

So long free speech.

So long everything.

It was fun while it lasted.

RobotHumans

01:30

Seriously?

Zacharee1

wat

RobotHumans

I had no problem opening our "nursing room" at a business where we had a room for breastfeeding - so someone of whatever religion could observe their prayer times, but legislating it is bad. @NathanOsman

Nathan Osman

@RobotHumans Same here - people should be free to say what they want.

...and that includes disagreeing with someone else.

Zacharee1

can you elaborate on this bill?

RobotHumans

google it. parlaiment calls for legislated anti-islamophobia??

Nathan Osman

01:33

parl.gc.ca/Parliamentarians/en/members/Iqra-Khalid(88849)/…

^--- text of the motion

Our idiot Prime Minister didn't even vote.

parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/…

RobotHumans

Next, we'll see legislation that all businesses have to close 3 times a day for prayer times, but to be fair, we'll also close everything on Sunday, since it's a day of rest.

sarcasm

Nathan Osman

I observe a day of rest on Sunday and even I don't want to see it legislated.

Let people do their own thing.

Free == free.

RobotHumans

Exactly so. I respect businesses that make a choice on their own, e.g. chik-fil-a doesn't operate on Sundays at a veritable loss in sales, but it's their choice. Choice is key.

Nathan Osman

EXACTLY.

But politicians don't see choice. They see money.

RobotHumans

Just like I respect Burlington Coat Factory, for having that breast feeding room. Nice call guys. Could be more salesfloor space, but you used it for something else. Good job.

Serg

01:40

askubuntu.com/q/896158/295286 close votes plz ?

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Only if free is a primitive. So I think it actually needs to be free.equals("free")

:)

Nathan Osman

@AndroidDev Lol.

That was actually kinda funny :D

Too much Java programming.

:P

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Is it only that way in Java? You mean you can do == on a string in c++?

Nathan Osman

I think so.

C++ has std::string which I'm pretty sure implements operator==.

Serg

.equals() can be done in Python , i think, though nobody does so. == all the way to victory town

RobotHumans

01:44

@Serg answered instead.

@Serg and in rare cases if this is that:

Serg

@RobotHumans em . . .ok . . .though answer on the dupe target is kinda more indepth . . .

RobotHumans

okay, i'll vote to dupe and delete

Serg

@RobotHumans very rare case of object comparison, but i think here we have value comparison

Android Dev

@cl-netbox Any ideas? askubuntu.com/questions/896221/…

RobotHumans

@Serg nice pun.

Serg

01:50

@RobotHumans i . . .made a pun ? where O.o

RobotHumans

@Serg comparing Free and free being a value vs an object.

Serg

oh . . . well . . . there's a philosophical pun there somewhere, but i don't cogito,ergo sum++

RobotHumans

If I ping chili555 will he still get notified even though the system doesn't auto suggest his name?

RobotHumans

Nope

You can only ping in chat and get a notify if you've been in chat in the last X days.

Serg

01:53

stackexchange needs a better messaging system

Nathan Osman

It's not really designed for messaging though.

Journeyman Geek

SE's non social by default.

Nathan Osman

It does well enough at what it is built for.

Serg

i know, but in cases where you need to message a user who hasn't been in chat in a while or not at all, that'd be handy

RobotHumans

Um, he has an email address on Ubuntu Members...

<--- certified creeper

Did you guys know the google anti-bot team email address is embedded in the google login page in base64?

Serg

01:57

My email is in my profile, and all over my scripts and github, so if people want to reach out, i gladly welcome

plus a few folks here have my gmail, so . . .plenty of ways to reach this bad boy

RobotHumans

Yerp. Me too mostly... I thought the google thing was quite hilarious though. Parsing divs with my eyeballs and I was all "What whitchery is this?" and it decoded to [email protected] or similar

Serg

grrr, i am so tempted to just start throwing everything into trash right now

RobotHumans

how so?

Nathan Osman

Hrm. I need a 256-bit integer :P

Serg

i have piles of papers . . . on one hand i want to keep them, but on the other it's just notes and homeworks from classes that i've taken in past, and . . .still don't understand the material

RobotHumans

02:01

42

Nathan Osman

I guess 32 quint8s will do.

Serg

it kind of feels like i've spent so much time in some classes, and it all was about surviving more than about learning

RobotHumans

@NathanOsman I don't even want to know why you're doing it that way... alright, I'm a little curious... but no. Just no

Serg

and piling up homework without understanding what in the bloody hell is the material all about

Nathan Osman

I am writing a parser for DNS NSEC records which supply a 256-bit bitmap.

It would be easier to work with a single scalar rather than an array.

But whatever.

Serg

02:03

remembers Perl whenever someone mentions scalars

Android Dev

@Serg :(

RobotHumans

@NathanOsman Heh. That reminds me of the AI thing I'm kicking around. Take values over time (stock data) and make them pixels instead of integers. So, you build lookback in to the value as "crossed this point today gets +50 G or +50 R". So, the AI can see movement instead of values and I don't have to write lookback formulas and have a bazillion new rows in the data set. :)

Nathan Osman

@Serg Boo! Hash!

Serg

@_@ gaaaaah

Nathan Osman

Gotta love Perl scripts for their minification capabilities.

Serg

02:06

I need a serious project to work in Perl

RobotHumans

Yes, but : asdfghjkl; also probably evaluates as valid perl in some circumstance

Serg

I only learn a language well, when it comes to writing some huge script/app

RobotHumans

How do I XYZ? crap. better find out. <-- so how I learn.

Heavily contemplating using django-ember to poke a little fun at a local js shop. I'm restraining myself.

Zacharee1

OK this sed statement is breaking something: IF_G5=$(sed 's/G5//g' <<< "$1")

idk what, but it isn't copying correctly

aha

it is working

I've derped my scripts

no

it's something with that sed

#!/system/bin/sh

IF_G5=$(sed 's/G5//g' <<< "$1")

mount -o rw,remount /
mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/"$1".apk /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk
chmod 0644 /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk

@Serg halp

instead of moving it to /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk, it's moving it to /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5".apk

pls

I don't have much time left to fix this

gah

Serg

02:49

ok, im here

Zacharee1

HALP

pls

Serg

Well . . . does IF_G5 directory exist in priv-app ?

Zacharee1

yes

say $1 is LGSystemUIG5

that sed should remove the G5

and leave LGSystemUI

Serg

@Zacharee1 which shell is /system/bin/sh ?

if it's dash , <<< doesn't work

Zacharee1

sh

or how do I find out

Serg

02:53

you can find out via echo $0

Zacharee1

just gives me the path to sh

Serg

nevermind that was stupid

ok, what does sh --version tell you ?

Zacharee1

unknown option

Serg

It's likely dash

Zacharee1

so how can I fix

Serg

02:55

you'll have to use pipe there

Zacharee1

hurry please

5 minutes

Serg

echo "$1" | sed 's/G5//g'

Zacharee1

and set that to the variable?

IF_G5=echo "$1" | sed 's/G5//g'

Serg

yes IF_G5=$( echo "$1" | sed 's/G5//g' )

Zacharee1

still not working

gotta give up for now

Serg

02:59

@Zacharee1 does it throw any errors ?

Zacharee1

Nope

Serg

also, does readlink -e /system/bin/sh tell you anything ?

Zacharee1

It should still work if the name doesn't contain G5 though, right?

Serg

Well, technically, no. That's why I asked if your $IF_G5 folder exists. I don't mkdir in your script anywhere

and cp doesn't automatically create directories

you need -p flag for that i think, lemme check

OK, so cp needs --parents flag

Try cp --parents /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/"$1".apk /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk

I don't know if Android has that cp flag though.

Other than that, i don't see anything out of the ordinary so far. Quoted variable, everyting seems proper. Try to remove any files that you may have created in the past and re-run the stuff

well , i am out of coffee

gosh, people are stupid

The sed command you gave me broke my app :p

someone need sed?

Seth

15:24

@Zacharee1 my sed command was incomplete. If it broke your app it's because you modified it ;)

edwinksl

seth breaking zach's app? inb4 dramaaaaa

Zacharee1

@Zanna yes, badly

@Seth I modified nothing

apparently I'm using dash

terdon

15:40

@Zacharee1 Dash? On android? Shouldn't that be either bourne-sh or busybox-sh? Both of which behave very similarly to dash, mind you.

Zacharee1

idk

Serg thinks I have it since <<< doesn't work

IF_G5=$(sed 's/G5//g' <<< "$1")

mount -o rw,remount /
mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/"$1".apk /system/priv-app/"$IG_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk
chmod 0644 /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk

for some reason, IF_G5 seems doesn't work for the destination folder

as an example, say $1 == LGSystemUI

instead of copying to /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI/LGSystemUI.apk, it goes to /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI.apk

@SmokeDetector OMG

cl-netbox

@Zacharee1 unbelievable

Zacharee1

that needs to go on SE gems xD

halp me @terdon-won kenobi, you're my onli hope

terdon

@Zacharee1 There you go.

Zacharee1

hue

but do you have any idea about the script?

do I need to escape the quotes or something?

@Serg so I think the <<< does work, but for some reason, the cp command is ignoring the first variable call

edwinksl

15:57

anyone knows how this is related to ubuntu? askubuntu.com/questions/896362/…

terdon

@Zacharee1 Yes, <<< is a bash thing. It won't work on POSIX shells. So just use this:

IF_G5=$(printf '%s\n' "$1" | sed 's/G5//g')

That said, where are you checking that /system/priv-app/"$IG_G5"/ exists?

(rhetorical question; I know you aren't, but you should)

Zacharee1

I know for sure it exists

Because it's an essential system component

I'm replacing it

terdon

@Zacharee1 How? The $1 is set by the user, right?

Zacharee1

no

this is a background script

called from Java

terdon

OK. But I'd still check. Assumptions in code are always dangerous.

Zacharee1

16:08

There's no possibility of it not existing

literally none

LGSystemUI, LGSignBoard, LGQuickTools will all always exist on V20s

terdon

In any case, it doesn't make sense that the variable works the second time but not the first. That's odd. You should add some echo statements to see exactly what commands you're running and what values your variables have.

Zacharee1

if they didn't the phone wouldn't boot
