philipballewalright. I was unable to be at the last meeting.  is that okay?05:38

pleia2right now we need "Shortly After the Meeting" done05:45
philipballewput libreoffice to work05:45
philipballewokay, ill do shortly after05:45

pleia2any unity users around? using 12.04 and even when I maximize windows the launcher stays open, do I need to install CCSM still to adjust this behavior?22:05
pleia2(I think it's actually misbehaving at the moment, by default it should go away I think)22:06
broderno, that's the new default behavior22:06
pleia2oh, good to know22:06
broderyou have some ability to adjust it through ccsm, but i don't think you can bring back the oneiric behavior22:07
broder(i think it either always shows, or always autohides - there's no autohide only if there's a window that wants that space)22:07
pleia2always autohide would be grand22:07
philipballew_its a bug afaik pleia2. On my system as well.22:07
pleia2but ccsm is the proper way to adjust?22:08
broderuh...it is *a* way to adjust :)22:08
broderi don't know how you're supposed to adjust it22:08
pleia2well I didn't know if there was some magic settings menu by default I should use :)22:08
* pleia2 holds down super key and cheers22:08
* broder should upgrade to precise22:08
pleia2so brilliant22:08
pleia2gives you shortcuts!22:08
philipballew_its the best!22:09
broderthe numeric shortcuts? it's always done that22:09
broderit's the single best thing about unity22:09
pleia2broder: it brings up a window with tons of shortcuts details22:09
philipballew_ccsm gets it done, but many people dont like it.22:09
broderooh, cool. i'll try to upgrade today or tomorrow22:09
pleia2when I booted up, just a quick click on super opened the dash, but it doesn't anymore22:10
broderi guess i can go ahead and upgrade my work desktop since i'm not using it right now22:11
pleia2autohide++22:28
philipballew_Does anyone know where I would place a script to run when I login?22:30
bkerensawherever you want?22:33
bkerensa:D22:33
broderSuper -> Startup Applications22:33
dragonStart Menu > Program Files > Startup22:38
dragonor, Start Menu > Program Files > All Users > Startup22:38
dragonsomething like that. :P22:38
philipballew_bkerensa, well Id need to script to run without me doing anything22:52
philipballew_or just place the script somewhere and point to it somehow22:53
pleia2I have a bin/ directory in my home22:53
pleia2but it doesn't matter where you put it really22:54
philipballew_pleia2, I need to point to it in some system file correct though?22:57
philipballew_or just placing a /bin would work as well22:57
pleia2philipballew_: system file? when you run it you need to give the full path22:57
akkIt's safest to give the full path when you're running it from a script.22:58
pleia2when you go to "Add" something in the "Startup Application Preferences" one of the fields is Command:22:58
philipballew_pleia2, I know that. Its a script to automatically connect to a server somewhere. I was wanting it to run each time I login22:58
philipballew_Its headless22:58
pleia2oh22:59
pleia2I thought this was a desktop22:59
philipballew_no, sorry :)22:59
akkWait, what's headless? The machine you're logging into?22:59
philipballew_no. the machine im placing the script on. Both machines are technically though23:00
akkThey're different? You want to log in to machine A and have that cause a script to run on machine B?23:01
philipballew_I want to login to headless desktop (a) and have a script to run that telnets into a server23:01
philipballew_as soon as i login23:02
akkBut the script will be running on A, telnetting into B, right?23:02
philipballew_yes akk :)23:02
akkIn that case you can put it in .profile on A (bash uses .profile, right?)23:02
philipballew_I think so, Its technically not a bash script. Its expect script. Is that bad?23:03
akkFrom your .profile or .bash_profile you can run a script that's in any language.23:03
philipballew_would I need to include #!/usr/bin/expect -f though?23:04
akkThe .profile would have a command just like whatever you'd use to run it from the command line, e.g. myscript or /home/myname/bin/myscript or whatever.23:04
philipballew_ah. I see23:04
philipballew_and place the script in anyplace I want23:05
akkYes, either that or put a line in .profile like: expect /home/myname/bin/myscript (if that's how you'd run an expect script, I'm not actually sure).23:05
akkRight, the script can go anywhere, as long as bash knows how to find it when it reaches that line in .profile.23:05
pleia2I'd probably use .bashrc instead (that's where I put all custom stuff, it runs at the beginning of .profile by default)23:06
pleia2but I don't actually know why both .profile and bashrc exist23:07
* pleia2 asks the internet23:07
philipballew_well I can run the script via ./path/to/script from bash. I can just add that line to .bashrc.23:07
philipballew_Would the script run though before network connections are made?23:07
akkI wouldn't use .bashrc -- that runs when you run a subshell as well as when you log in.23:14
akkSo even when you run scripts and such, things in .bashrc might run.23:14
pleia2yeah, I don't know what an Ubuntu server looks like, but on the desktop the first thing .profile does is source in .bashrc23:16
pleia2which was throwing me :)23:16
akkIf you log in to your desktop and run 3 terminal windows, .bashrc gets run three times.23:16
pleia2.profile is interactive, .bashrc is not23:16
akk.profile might get run three times if you specify login-shell in your terminal client (not sure if gnome-terminal allows that)23:17
akkRight, profile is intended for interactive login shells.23:17
pleia2I learned something new today :)23:18
pleia2(well, aside from this unity stuff)23:18
philipballew_so I should place it in profile?23:18
pleia2philipballew_: I wouldn't use ./path/to/file23:18
pleia2if it's a bash script I'd use: bash /path/too/file23:19
akkor expect /path/to/file since it's an expect script23:19
pleia2the ./ syntax for running things doesn't tend to work in scripts (I don't know about profile specifically, but I tend to go on the side of caution)23:19
akkor just put the #!/usr/bin/expect at the beginning23:19
philipballew_hum. I did get it working by placing it in the bashrc with a ./23:19
philipballew_but maybe its a bad idea to leave it there23:20
akk./ might work, but you'd need to be sure what directory bash is in when you hit that line23:20
pleia2akk was right, you want .profile rather than .bashrc23:20
akkwhich is probably ~ but I'm not sure I'd want to count on it.23:20
akkMuch better to specify ~/ or $HOME/ or /home/yourname/ if that's what you want23:21
philipballew_I can move it if I need, just because it works now, doesnt mean it will? The only point if this thing is to connect to a server and have a shell open23:21
