Prasad

@RolandTaylor what happened to you please? i miss that one phrase guy :-)

Roland Taylor

@Prasad lol

I was being the spammer for a moment

I'm trying to get into the mind of the criminal

Anwar

05:06

@Prasad there is one. but is hidden now . if you click on the plugin you will see it even in unity. that means you can disable unity plugin in unity!

Prasad

@RolandTaylor argh..spammer...wow..but no wow

Roland Taylor

lol

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor you sure like to ping me

Prasad

@Anwar thanks...

Anwar

but before precise, that checkbox was visible in front page

Roland Taylor

05:07

@msPeachy yes indeed

Prasad

@Anwar mmm..yes i think i remember (ubuntu 11.10)

alme1304

how do you remove files in all child directories?

Roland Taylor

@alme1304 rm /path/*/*

Journeyman Geek

hm, anyone around got a dual monitor setup and can run a little command for me? >_>

Prasad

Anwar

05:09

rm -r /path/* ?

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor

Journeyman Geek

@Anwar: BAD MONKEY NO COOKIE.

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy yes?

msPeachy

@RolandTaylor nothin', we should just ping each other

Journeyman Geek

@Anwar: cat /proc/fb

jokerdino

05:09

@RolandTaylor askubuntu.com/posts/180833/revisions

Was digging for this.

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy lol yes

Journeyman Geek

I basically need to work out if different monitors on the same video card are different devices

Anwar

@JourneymanGeek 0 inteldrmfb!

Roland Taylor

@Anwar this is correct - I added an extra /* after getting distracted and second guessing lol

Journeyman Geek

@Anwar: with dual monitors?

msPeachy

05:11

@RolandTaylor can't stay though, my next class starts in 5 minutes, be back later

Anwar

@JourneymanGeek no.

Roland Taylor

@msPeachy oh :(

alme1304

ok say i want to remove the .txt files in all of pictures/ and its child fodlers

Journeyman Geek

@Anwar: dual monitors is the tricky bit. I have the same output from my current linux box, but its single monitor

Prasad

guys...tell me what should I backup before i setup dual monitor...last time when I switched back to single monitor...It didn't load unity...so what should I backup now?

Anwar

05:12

@alme1304 find ~/pictures -name *.txt | xagrs rm {}

Journeyman Geek

@Prasad: eh, its for a quicky thing, don't bother doing an install just for that

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek no i can help you...

jokerdino

@Anwar xargs.

you can use -delete instead

Roland Taylor

@alme1304 rm ~/Pictures/*.txt | rm ~/Pictures/*/*.txt

@JourneymanGeek they are different devices

Journeyman Geek

@RolandTaylor: ooh, thanks

Anwar

05:15

@jokerdino thanks. that came first in my mind.

Prasad

Roland Taylor

Prasad

05:24

@RolandTaylor it is a joke

Roland Taylor

lol I know

Anwar

@jokerdino found a kde.org document page and a bug :)

Prasad

@Roland taylorwhere is your desktop? #showyourdesktopfriday

Roland Taylor

My desktop is on the floor.

Prasad

??

Roland Taylor

05:25

:)

Prasad

@Anwar that ping sound is the same...

Anwar

@Prasad yeah. we need to move the disc. in meta

Prasad

hmm

Roland Taylor

@izx did you ever get around to building that PPA?

Anwar

grace period will end in 9 hours. oh nooo

Prasad

05:36

after installing gnome and cinnamon on ubuntu 12.04....it seems slow now...even in log in...what should I do to make it better....??

Anwar

it should not be slow in login screen

if you mean slow while "login in", then it is normal

Prasad

@Anwar mm..login screen is fast but when loading unity...it takes about 20sec...

@Anwar yes when login in

Anwar

the first time you switch to cinnamon or gnome-shell from unity, there will a time period of some more seconds

but subsequent login will be faster

Prasad

@Anwar ok..but why it takes so much time?.. it was very fast without gnome or cinnamon

Anwar

this is because, i think, setting default key/value pairs for cinnamon or gnome-shell who use window manager other than compiz

@Prasad after the first login to cinnamon. log out and re-login again. and see the diff

Prasad

05:39

@Anwar ok I think I go it now... thanks

@Anwar OK...i'm gonna try it

Anwar

if you find this answer helpful, consider accepting this ;P

just kidding. don't mind

Prasad

@Anwar he he.... then let's move it to a question

+1

Anwar

I don't have enough technical info to support this. only my experience and guess

@Prasad thanks :)

Prasad

OK...i'm searching for some linux projects in ASIA and found that there is a project called DOEL in you county..is it true?

Anwar

I don't know but I've been told that cleaning toilet latrines gets mighty old! — TheX Sep 2 at 0:57

@Prasad DOEL for laptop? then true

Prasad

05:43

@Anwar yes...thanks

Anwar

I don't know of any linux project named DOEL

Roland Taylor

Unity needs some resource usage trimming.

Anwar

I don't know but I've been told that cleaning toilet latrines gets mighty old! — TheX Sep 2 at 0:57

LOL

Roland Taylor

xD

Prasad

@Anwar no no DOEL LAPTOP..it is the thing

@RolandTaylor why?...

Anwar

05:44

@Prasad ok. i heard that

they released even two models of it

Prasad

@Anwar mmm....interesting

Roland Taylor

@Prasad it's too heavy on resources.

On a system with 4GB of RAM, running Unity + the basic indicators I use is like 1.3 GB at idle used up - plus CPU usage spikes

Anwar

but as you probably know, it is kinda stopped for some crapy political and/or ... reasons. :/

Prasad

@RolandTaylor yes...that's why i'm slow here....only two tabs only....when in 10.10 with gnome....15 or 20 tabs

Roland Taylor

running applications is slower than normal too

Journeyman Geek

05:46

@Prasad: the wikipedia page looks rather horrible

Roland Taylor

I can run other DEs and get waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better performance and sometimes half the memory usage

Anwar

I think, i get used to this slowness

Prasad

@Anwar that's the same spirit here anwar....we started OLPC here and now I can't find any laps here :-)

Roland Taylor

Not me

when I first had my laptop with Ubuntu it was a breathe of fresh air, now it's annoying

Anwar

1 GB, used 418MB. running firefox with two tab only

Prasad

05:48

@Anwar me too....you read my computer!!!!!

Journeyman Geek

@Prasad: well, in Tamil Nadu they had a free laptop scheme. We keep getting people on SU who screw up the dualboot and ask for help ;p

Anwar

@Prasad they told us of having laptop with only 10,000 tk ( 80 tk = 1 dollar) but now.....

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek you are in tamil nadu!!!! don't hit me ...i'm a sri lankan :-)

Journeyman Geek

lol

@Prasad: My dad grew up in jaffna

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek well...jaffna where?

Journeyman Geek

05:49

and pffy. I'm more teed off at the tamil politicians who sold out the folk there, than the average sri lankan

@Prasad: er, no idea actually. I've never been there.

Prasad

@Anwar he he..yeah ..we have the same story...

Journeyman Geek

Dad did his first degree somewhere called peradania university i think

and worked for the transport board, left before the troubles started

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek yes .yes....

it's a university in SL...a best CAMPUS here...

Journeyman Geek

(and politics is meh)

Ya

Prasad

(yes...of course...)

Journeyman Geek

05:52

he came to singapore mid 70s tho

long time

I have little attachment to either india (where my mom grew up) or ceylon

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek are you in singapore now?

Journeyman Geek

ya, born and bred here

tho I held a sri lankan passport until I was 20...

Prasad

so what time was it?

Journeyman Geek

apparently its a pain in the butt renouncing your sri lankan citizenship, but It was a condition of my singapore citizenship

almost 2pm

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek no no...when you got the passport....

I mean year...19**

@JourneymanGeek sorry about that...

Journeyman Geek

05:57

the sri lankan one? 1983. Singapore passport I got when i was about 9, so 1991ish

but I couldn't renounce my citizenship until I was 18, and it took 2 years to process

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek MY BIRTHDAY-1990..so I can't help it :-) (joke)

Journeyman Geek

(dear god. It would be easier to just go there, spout some nonsense political crap, and rip up my passport.)

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek (god says....son....look at the future...forget the past)

Journeyman Geek

lol

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek he he.......so who speaks sinhala there?

Journeyman Geek

05:59

Eventually got it done. I wonder how the heck the brits built an efficient civil service, and then it went to shit everywhere

Prasad

father?

Journeyman Geek

no one ;p

Anwar

BBL

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek then tamil?

Journeyman Geek

dad never learnt it

Prasad

05:59

@Anwar bye

Journeyman Geek

ya, Tamil/English

everyone is bilingual, even the dog ;p

(understands 2 human languages, speaks 2 dialects of dog)

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek WHAT??????

Journeyman Geek

lol

dog understand english and tamil. Usually sounds westieish (low pitched) but switched over to high pitched schnauzer-squeaks as needed

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek he he....that's why you have a dog for your gravatar? lol

Journeyman Geek

ya ;p, same dog

Prasad

06:01

@JourneymanGeek love it

jokerdino

@Anwar awesome!

Prasad

i had a similar looking dog...but it died when it was 1year old :-(

Roland Taylor

@JourneymanGeek bow wow

woof, woof

Prasad

@RolandTaylor don't worry roland puppy..here is the bone you want

Journeyman Geek

@RolandTaylor: grrwwoof. SQUEEEK

Roland Taylor

06:03

yelp

yap yap, yap yap

Prasad

cute...

so @JourneymanGeek sorry for asking this..do you hate SL?

Journeyman Geek

er no

I don't really feel either way about it, honestly

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek thanks...but now everything is STABLE ENOUGH....i think...NO KILLING...etc

Journeyman Geek

@Prasad: Well, for now. Winning a war is 'easy'. Building an equitable peace is hard

jokerdino

Politics.

Journeyman Geek

06:09

Don't forget, the reasons behind the war are still there. You've got to make the people who 'lost' feel like they 'won' and feel safe in their own homes.

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek I agree with the second one...but it wasn't a easy war....thousands died here...

jokerdino

The only way you can win the war is to make sure no one loses it.

Journeyman Geek

@Prasad: Well, we're veering into politics here

jokerdino

No idea what that means though ^^

Journeyman Geek

The only way to win a war is not to fight it at all.

Prasad

06:11

@JourneymanGeek then....

Roland Taylor

What was the war about?

Journeyman Geek

@RolandTaylor: to a large extent - race. Basically on one side you had racists, on the other, extremists...

Lots of good people left cause of that, least on the tamil side of the fence.

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek agree....but it wasn't our fault...LTTE did that..to us and also to tamil people..

Journeyman Geek

@Prasad: The LTTE started because people didn't feel safe

jokerdino

>.>

LTTE no more.

Journeyman Geek

06:15

and quite honestly, there WERE sinhala extremists killing people too - prabakaran started fighting after he saw someone murdered, apparently

Prasad

I think it is not good to continue this conversation...is it?

Journeyman Geek

nope

as i keep hinting ;p

jokerdino

It is a bad idea.

Because both our opinions are biased, to varying extent.

Journeyman Geek

There's your side, my side, and the truth. And the truth is, I'd rather keep politics out of my techie places.

Roland Taylor

:P

Sounds like a good time to switch the subject.

Prasad

06:17

@RolandTaylor agree.

Anyone succeeded streaming DLNA using pulseaudio and rygel in 12.04?

Prasad

Journeyman Geek

Takkat

06:21

This documentation is - well - useless: live.gnome.org/Rygel

Journeyman Geek

@Takkat: documentation often is

Takkat

> Our aim will be to make Rygel (as MediaServer) 100% DLNA-compliant

will be!

means is not even near

Roland Taylor

06:29

I don't have a dog :(

Journeyman Geek

his mom's a snauzer. We guess his dad is very likely a westie

Prasad

@RolandTaylor because you are a dog (joke)

jokerdino

ouch

Journeyman Geek

@RolandTaylor: we sort of accidentally got him ;p

Prasad

@RolandTaylor every dog who comes here...don't last more than 2years...main road ahead....they die

Journeyman Geek

06:30

He used to belong to a small time actress who married my cousin's cousin, they fought over the dog, he was left here and never picked up. SHe ended up adopting 2 more

@Prasad: ugh, thats a problem with outdoor dogs in general.

Roland Taylor

My dog was hit by a car

Prasad

@JourneymanGeek yes.....

@RolandTaylor sorry about that

Journeyman Geek

tho there's a local streetie that knows how to cross a road properly

Roland Taylor

we used to keep him in the backyard when I was at school, but we had a wicked little boy for a neighbour...

he moved the brick keeping our dog from escaping through a hole in the wall... and he ran into the road :/

@Prasad funny? O_O

Prasad

@jokerdino isn't it...then sorry :-(

Journeyman Geek

@RolandTaylor: we live in a flat. dog roams as he likes in the flat, gets leashed except in certain mostly safe spots.

Prasad

Roland Taylor

@JourneymanGeek cool

Journeyman Geek

06:34

ya, 4 times a day >_>

Roland Taylor

nice

Journeyman Geek

actually we cut back distance a bit, no 2km long walks until the neibours stop setting their damned country on fire.

Prasad

this is my dog (already dead :-(

Roland Taylor

@jokerdino I will be downvoting more often - just because I want people to know I'm not only in this for reputation (maybe it will improve my "reputation" around the site?)

@Prasad :(

jokerdino

@RolandTaylor ?? (??)

Roland Taylor

06:40

@jokerdino .

Journeyman Geek

lol

why would people know you downvoted?

Takkat

Beware of @RolandTaylor the iron harsh Downvoter!

jokerdino

I don't know what you are talking about? :?

Being the downvoter is a bad thing. :P Dont be me.

Prasad

@RolandTaylor funny thing is we bought a puppy from the same DOG FATHER..but he is an ordinary dog.. lol no fur..no talents..just ordinary. :-)

Roland Taylor

@Takkat :(

Takkat

06:42

jk - we all know how nice you are to everyone

Roland Taylor

I am against downvoting, but I know (I can sense it) that people think I don't downvote because I would lose rep, so I will prove them wrong.

jokerdino

you dont lose rep when you downvote.

Roland Taylor

@JourneymanGeek you can check a user's stats and figure it out

Journeyman Geek

@RolandTaylor: I think a bigger thing is 'why' you downvote

Roland Taylor

@jokerdino on answers you do

jokerdino

06:43

@RolandTaylor oh yes.

But why ping me and tell me that? :S

Roland Taylor

@JourneymanGeek if it needs to be deleted or is wrong, or is bad

@jokerdino well.... nvm

Journeyman Geek

but would you downvote and delete? ;p

jokerdino

I only downvoted one answer of yours IIRC. --Sorry about that.

I am confuzzled.

Roland Taylor

jokerdino

No, I might sound like I push my ideology over others but I don't really mean to.

Not necessarily about downvoting at least.

@RolandTaylor W:

Regardless, I welcome your decision to downvote more.

It's nice.

Iama noob.

That sounds wrong.

Good idea.

It is a personal preference, I must say.

Takkat

Well we had quite some fight over that at german.se - sighs

jokerdino

Wow?

Takkat

07:08

It was said you should downvote a good answer to make the better answer stand out mor clearly - shudders

jokerdino

That is horrific.

Takkat

jokerdino

At least most of us don't vote like that.

Takkat

@jokerdino thanks.

Hi Anwar. Thanks for your answer. I hesitated to give you the bounty because I had hoped to get an explicit answer as to how achieve what I want. In this case, how to change this in the code and recompile. So if you have any knowledge to share regarding this, would you be so kind to update your answer accordingly? Thanks again. — Benjamin 56 mins ago

Oh nice work! :D
