@RolandTaylor: ya. basically a self contained part of a plot

I mean, there's a reason teasers are about that long

Roland Taylor

I know what a chapter is but normally to me a chapter isn't all that long

Oh

I see what context you mean "chapter" in now

I am so accustomed to using chapter for novels :P

Hey guys

Roland Taylor

You would panic if you saw what happens in the story at the end of this first part :)

I deliberately left it open

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

someone told me to use this command to install GCC

sudo apt-get install g++

so what version does it install?

Roland Taylor

12:51 AM

What ever version Ubuntu uses at the time (for 12.04 I think it would be 4.6)

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

@RolandTaylor your talking to me, right? :)

Roland Taylor

@MohamedAhmedNabil yes

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

@RolandTaylor That command installs the latest GCC/G++ compiler?

Roland Taylor

@MohamedAhmedNabil iirc

You're better off running sudo apt-get install build-essential though

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

@RolandTaylor yea i did that now

Thats the latest version fo G++/GCC ?

Roland Taylor

12:56 AM

g++ --version will tell you what version you have

It will be the latest one available in the repositories

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

@RolandTaylor I have a problem with code::block too, can you help with that?

Roland Taylor

Oh? What problem are you getting?

@MohamedAhmedNabil it depends on the problem.

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

@RolandTaylor In my first program it used to say, Permission denied, and the program doesnt run

Roland Taylor

@MohamedAhmedNabil do you have a screenshot?

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

@RolandTaylor how do I take on in ubuntu?

Roland Taylor

1:02 AM

press prnt scrn

See you all later.

@GeorgeEdison see ya

@MohamedAhmedNabil Did you mark the process as executable in Nautilus?

BTW why are you using C++11 and not C++?

(The C++11 is a newer standard that might be tricky - if I'm not mistaken)

Mohamed Ahmed Nabil

1:19 AM

@RolandTaylor how?, i dont know

@RolandTaylor i know that :), I was going to test C++11 syntax

don't really get what he means but I've google bone and it connotes a different meaning

jokerdino

it does

No obvious way to restrict shopping suggestions from displaying adult products

Shopping suggestions can produce results that contain inappropriate images in the preview pictures, and links to items that are clearly not suitable for all ages. There appears to be no easy way to restirct what suggestions are shown apart from removing unity-shopping-lens altogether

mateo_salta

I used this one as CC flickr.com/photos/mateo_salta/4289236292/in/photostream

msPeachy

@mateo_salta I concur. I've edited it, but someone beat me to it, so I just reworded the title and added a tag

mateo_salta

1:55 AM

;)

jokerdino

@jrg he better send his app

jrg

@jokerdino Sent it to him, it's up to him to decide what he wants to do. :)

jokerdino

uhm yeah

but he has already done some ground work

though the unity devs might want to do it on the source code level

jrg

also true

mateo_salta

That is a good idea @jokerdino , I like to do abstract textures and things

jokerdino

1:58 AM

@mateo_salta submitting to wallpaper contest you mean?

mateo_salta

yep

jokerdino

you should have done it.

anyway, we still have more releases coming. you can try next time and we all can vote for you \o/

jokerdino

closing it as off topic won't degrade your answer. no worries

Anwar Shah

No. i was surprised by the votes

jokerdino

it's okay

Anwar Shah

2:52 AM

they might be thinking it's a bug

jokerdino

yeah

Anwar Shah

oh. thanks.

i didn't think it first

jokerdino

people think it is a bug if something doesn't work in unity and you see a big terminal dump ;-)

Anwar Shah

eh?

oh.. :)

you didn't come in the room yesterday

jokerdino

nope

i didn't come for a couple of days

Anwar Shah

jokerdino

no.

i was tweaking conky yesterday

Anwar Shah

conky

nice

jokerdino

i took the default conky and edited the settings from what @penreturn gave me.

and added the task list from taskwarrior that i was using already

Anwar Shah

you can have a conky transparent in desktop

jokerdino

@AnwarShah that is transparent

Anwar Shah

7:36 AM

hmm..

you can have a graphical one

jokerdino

tail -n +4 task.txt > tmp.tmp
mv tmp.tmp task.txt
sed -i 's/        //g' task.txt

Anwar Shah

jokerdino

i never customized things on my own.

i just grab conky online and put it on desktop.

Anwar Shah

that's not true

jokerdino

first time messing with conky ;)

Anwar Shah

you edited the codes there

i mean, generating the task list

that's awesome

jokerdino

put some rss :P

lol too much :P

7:42 AM

ha ha

jokerdino

i had to stick with blue wallpaper.

or else, my conky won't be readable

Anwar Shah

it's still loading here..

changing text colors?

that was Ubuntu hardy..

jokerdino

well, white is neat

Anwar Shah

ok

@AnwarShah cya

i am using Ubuntu font ;D

Anwar Shah

Ubuntu font is default

jokerdino

not for conky

Anwar Shah

oh.

i think, the experience will not be good

sans is better for these things, imo

jokerdino

probably

Anwar Shah

i always answer in a comment and then kick myself when someone answers and gets lots of rep.

i wonder if they're going to borrow lenstoggle or if they're going to re-implement in some other way

jokerdino

and when i answer the question, no one actually upvotes it. grr

@aking1012 i am thinking the latter

inside the source code or something

Anwar Shah

@jokerdino don't blame me on the latest one.

jokerdino

lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

Anwar Shah

great!!

aking1012

looks like they're going to query the lens file for a description and icons. mine was more minimalist...like "i wants to turn them all offz pleeeeze"

interestingly, they have a "home lens" on the left. they must be making some change to something if you can toggle that on and off

jokerdino

8:43 AM

probably which lens is queried in home

or it could just be a dummy design

now excuse me while i email a bunch of people whether they are interested in ubuntu development

aking1012

possibly... if they're going to do a home toggle they'll probably make a small modification to the unity code to check for a n actual .lens file/folder instead of having it be a built-in

jokerdino

@aking1012 i don't know. they can tweak the source for that matter

aking1012

wait what? what are you trying to get built?

jokerdino

@aking1012 i joined the dev advisory team out of boredom

Anwar Shah

I don't think this should be considered a duplicate of either of those (and at this point, Anwar might write a separate answer to this that addresses the differences). See discussion starting here. — Eliah Kagan Sep 16 at 16:10

Do you agree with Eliah Kagan?

jokerdino

8:48 AM

Does it matter?

Anwar Shah

Actually I first gave vote considering it as a dupe.

but, he convinced me that, even if the answer is same, the question isn't

aking1012

it's borderline. if you can reinstall windows at all, the original(other) gets you passed re-installing grub. so the ubuntu related part is duplicate. how many ways can we ask how to re-install grub and how much windows problem is going to get handled on an ubuntu QA board
