| bkerensa | pleia2: so I guess there is going to be no push for Global Jams this time round? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | bkerensa: not one led by the canonical community team | 00:14 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 00:14 |
| bkerensa | :) | 00:14 |
| bkerensa | I guess the Ubuntu Community Team will have to do it | 00:15 |
| * bkerensa snickers | 00:15 | |
| pleia2 | indeed :) | 00:15 |
| pleia2 | I had to nudge czajkowski this morning to announce it somewhere | 00:15 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 00:15 |
| bkerensa | thats sad | 00:15 |
| bkerensa | :D | 00:15 |
| pleia2 | I think everyone forgot about it except me :) | 00:15 |
| bkerensa | yeah I saw a comment by someone from the "Canonical Community Team" that said they were working on more important things | 00:16 |
| bkerensa | :D | 00:16 |
| pleia2 | I was starting to write out my september schedule and was like "hey wait..." | 00:16 |
| pleia2 | so I looked up the wiki, saw it had been scheduled, then looked for announcement, couldn't find one! | 00:17 |
| bkerensa | A good project for a jam would be to update the jam wiki :D | 00:17 |
| bkerensa | I just made some tweaks | 00:17 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 00:17 |
| bkerensa | I think doc jam sounds good this time | 00:18 |
| * bkerensa needs to run now its 101 degrees and im dying | 00:18 | |
| pleia2 | I am doing an iso testing jam! | 00:18 |
| pleia2 | good luck | 00:18 |
| nhaines | Gareth: I hope for Ubucon for SCALE12x but I will have to work with others again this year. | 03:45 |
| Gareth | nhaines: hmm? | 03:46 |
| nhaines | Not 12! The next one! heh | 03:48 |
| nhaines | Gareth: I'll need to find some helpers for Ubucon this year but I would like to see it return. It's such a fun event. :) | 03:49 |
| === FlannelKing is now known as Flannel | ||
| Gareth | nhaines: Ahhh cool. wondered why you were talking about 12 already :) | 04:04 |
| nhaines | Gareth: one always needs goals right? :) | 04:18 |
| Gareth | yup :) | 04:24 |

| pleia2 | sfzoo is doing an evening event tonight: https://sfzoo.worldsecuresystems.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=123335 | 16:30 |

| * pleia2 going | 16:30 | |
| * pleia2 links this to Ubuntu somehow | 16:31 | |
| pleia2 | they have koalas! | 16:31 |
| raevol | anyone want to help me with a shell script? | 16:47 |
| raevol | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151707/ | 16:47 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Ubuntu Pastebin] | 16:47 |
| raevol | when i echo $g, if i had manually typed that command in, it would work. escaping the spaces like that works, but when i run it from the script like that, it doesn't see the space escaping | 16:48 |
| raevol | or if anyone has a better way of writing a script that will print at PDF files in a directory, even if they have spaces in the names | 16:50 |
| akk | Could you just call lpr from the loop where you're looping over files, rather than passing the whole list of args to one lpr command? | 16:52 |
| raevol | when i did that, my printer would print the first file, and then give an error | 16:53 |
| akk | Or maybe put single quotes around each file rather than escaping the spaces with backslashes. | 16:53 |
| akk | But hmm, you certainly should be able to call lpr more than once. | 16:53 |
| raevol | i think calling it that way sends all the files at once instead of queueing them | 16:53 |
| raevol | single quotes doesn't seem to help, still looks for "Capping" as the first file :/ so weird | 16:56 |
| raevol | i am sure that would work if i was typing it into the command line instead of calling it from a script | 16:56 |
| akk | Personally when I get to the point where I'm bending over backwards trying to trick shells into doing strange string things, I usually give up and rewrite whatever it is in python. :) | 16:58 |
| raevol | yea :/ | 16:59 |
| pleia2 | raevol: run it with -x to see exactly what the script is doing? (I can't actually replicate this, the script works ok for me but I s/lpr/echo) | 17:01 |
| akk | With echo it's hard to tell where the arguments actually separate. | 17:01 |
| akk | Better than echo would be to pass it to a for loop that echos each arg on a separate line (or write a separate script that does that, and call it) | 17:02 |
| akk | to show what the lpr command is really seeing | 17:02 |
| pleia2 | ah, true | 17:02 |
| raevol | :S | 17:03 |
| raevol | akk: i got it working :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/1153133/ | 18:25 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Ubuntu Pastebin] | 18:25 |
| akk | Wow, tricky! | 18:26 |
| raevol | :D | 18:26 |
| akk | If I were you I'd add some comments -- I know when I do something like that, if I come back more than 2 weeks later I have no clue what I did. :) | 18:26 |
| * akk tends to add comments including a URL to where I found the solution as well as a description of what it does | 18:27 | |
| bkerensa | I think I might go down to California in the fall | 18:27 |
| bkerensa | >.< contemplating | 18:27 |
| raevol | yea i need to comment it | 18:37 |
| raevol | but the awesome thing is i can run it from a bat script in windows with plink | 18:37 |
| raevol | so i just got myself happy immediate batch printing from any computer in the office... | 18:37 |
| akk | yay | 18:39 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: (415) 766-2115 <-- I made a script that checks BART arrival times :) | 20:50 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 20:50 |
