[00:13] pleia2: so I guess there is going to be no push for Global Jams this time round? [00:14] bkerensa: not one led by the canonical community team [00:14] LOL [00:14] :) [00:15] I guess the Ubuntu Community Team will have to do it [00:15] * bkerensa snickers [00:15] indeed :) [00:15] I had to nudge czajkowski this morning to announce it somewhere [00:15] LOL [00:15] thats sad [00:15] :D [00:15] I think everyone forgot about it except me :) [00:16] yeah I saw a comment by someone from the "Canonical Community Team" that said they were working on more important things [00:16] :D [00:16] I was starting to write out my september schedule and was like "hey wait..." [00:17] so I looked up the wiki, saw it had been scheduled, then looked for announcement, couldn't find one! [00:17] A good project for a jam would be to update the jam wiki :D [00:17] I just made some tweaks [00:17] hehe [00:18] I think doc jam sounds good this time [00:18] * bkerensa needs to run now its 101 degrees and im dying [00:18] I am doing an iso testing jam! [00:18] good luck [03:45] Gareth: I hope for Ubucon for SCALE12x but I will have to work with others again this year. [03:46] nhaines: hmm? [03:48] Not 12! The next one! heh [03:49] 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. :) === FlannelKing is now known as Flannel [04:04] nhaines: Ahhh cool. wondered why you were talking about 12 already :) [04:18] Gareth: one always needs goals right? :) [04:24] yup :) [05:23] This seems a bit odd, imho http://pctrends.freeforums.org/what-is-linux-regal-t62.html [05:23] Title: [Home of Linux Regal & Royal • View topic - What is Linux Regal ?] [16:30] sfzoo is doing an evening event tonight: https://sfzoo.worldsecuresystems.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=123335 [16:30] Title: [Noc’tails at the San Francisco Zoo] [16:30] * pleia2 going [16:31] * pleia2 links this to Ubuntu somehow [16:31] they have koalas! [16:47] anyone want to help me with a shell script? [16:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151707/ [16:47] Title: [Ubuntu Pastebin] [16:48] 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 [16:50] 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 [16:52] 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? [16:53] when i did that, my printer would print the first file, and then give an error [16:53] Or maybe put single quotes around each file rather than escaping the spaces with backslashes. [16:53] But hmm, you certainly should be able to call lpr more than once. [16:53] i think calling it that way sends all the files at once instead of queueing them [16:56] single quotes doesn't seem to help, still looks for "Capping" as the first file :/ so weird [16:56] i am sure that would work if i was typing it into the command line instead of calling it from a script [16:58] 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. :) [16:59] yea :/ [17:01] 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] With echo it's hard to tell where the arguments actually separate. [17:02] 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] to show what the lpr command is really seeing [17:02] ah, true [17:03] :S [18:25] akk: i got it working :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/1153133/ [18:25] Title: [Ubuntu Pastebin] [18:26] Wow, tricky! [18:26] :D [18:26] 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. :) [18:27] * 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] I think I might go down to California in the fall [18:27] >.< contemplating [18:37] yea i need to comment it [18:37] but the awesome thing is i can run it from a bat script in windows with plink [18:37] so i just got myself happy immediate batch printing from any computer in the office... [18:39] yay [20:50] pleia2: (415) 766-2115 <-- I made a script that checks BART arrival times :) [20:50] hehe
