SuperMattooh, I don't know09:12
SuperMattit *looks* like the tutorial was designed for precise09:13
daubersIt is Gtk 3 :)09:13
SuperMattso that'd be gtk 3, surely?09:13
daubersit's using gi.repository which is normally a good sign it's using Gtk309:13

gordi wish life was a tv show, so we could quick cut to six months later where you guys are saying the same thing about 13.04 and how bad 12.10 is ;)09:42
diploWell tbh gord 12.04 really was a huge improvement over 11.04, but 12.10 should be what the LTS release was.09:45
diploIt was sooooooooo slow09:45

SuperMattthanks muncly dude :)10:39
diploOK, my ask for help now :)10:39
SuperMattuh-oh!10:39
diploI asked this friday but my foo is failing me today10:39
diploI have 2 dirs with 300+ files int hem10:39
diploin them*10:39
diplothey all start with sp10.000.randomnumber10:40
diploI want to compare the files to tell me which are different10:40
diploShould be the same output but i haver 304 in one dir and 307 in the other10:40
diploI think gord said use md5, I've tried but it says all files are different10:40
bigcalmYou can diff 2 directories10:41
diployeah, but because the filenames are different between 2 dirs that's not working10:41
bigcalmOh10:41
diploWell I believe that is the issue10:41
bigcalmMight have to script it10:41
shaunowhat's the content of these files like?  any unique string you could pull out of each one?  (an accountid, name, etc)10:42
diploit's statements in plain text10:42
diploso yeah account numbers / addresses etc10:42
diploI can grab the files and bring locally if there is a gui app that's good as well10:43
SuperMatthmmm10:43
SuperMattdo you want to just compare the contents?10:43
diploI just want to find which 3 files are different without going through 600+ files :)10:44
shaunoif they're not similar enough to match md5's, I'd try to awk an account number out of each one, pipe through sort so you have almost-identical lists, and then diff those two lists10:44
SuperMattcos you could do cat dir1/* > file1; cat dir2/* > file2; vimdiff file1 file210:44
diploI've tried md5suming the files and then diffing that but that's not working10:44
davmor2diplo: you can try beyond compare on the 2 files10:45
SuperMattwhat do the files contain?10:45
diplobasic text displaying statement details, so account/address/and inv numbers etc10:46
SuperMattthen my method should work10:46
diplodavmor2: will look, will try SuperMatt's first10:46
diplota10:46
SuperMattit won't tell you which files are different, but it'll tell you what differences there are between them10:46

Laneyfitted a non-shitty 2.5"-3.5" adapter for the SSD10:47
Laneyno longer is it hangin' loose inside my case10:47
davmor2diplo: there is meld diff viewer too iirc10:48
* popey hangs loose10:48
shaunoonly thing I'd watch for with cat dir1/* is that most shells return the glob as sorted, so the random numbers will jumble the order.  you might want to loop through $(ls -U) instead so they're cat'd in the order they were created  (which I assume will be closer to natural, assuming they were created with a mostly-similar method)10:49

directhexyou cannot call a cable a 1.3 cable or 1.4 cable18:33
directhexit's a requirement of hdmi logo certification18:33
directhexshort version: yeah, the cables have never changed, really18:34
directhexyou've got four types of cable, you only need to care about one of those18:34
diploPretty much how I understood it, just added higher resolution, proper hd 3d support and some other stuff that I can't do off the top of my head18:35
directhex"standard", "standard with ethernet", "high speed", and "high speed with ethernet"18:35
directhexevery single feature you need is covered by "high speed"18:35
MartijnVdSdirecthex: then there's the "mini" connector..18:35
directhexand i don't think "standard" have been sold for yonks18:36
directhexMartijnVdS: yeah, talking about the cabling itself18:36
directhexif it says it can do 1080p, then it's high speed. if it's high speed, it can do everything else too - 4k, 3d, etc18:37

MartijnVdSinstead of the extortionate €50 you pay in stores18:40

MartijnVdSdwatkins: yes.18:55
AzelphurMartijnVdS: yea I just paid £4.99 for a 1.5m hdmi 1.4 cable18:55
dwatkinsah ok, I can understand paying over the odds to get it quickly (although the local 24 hour Tesco has them in stock)18:56
Azelphurfree next day delivery too, can't complain18:56
MartijnVdSsome people even fall for the "audiophile" ones ("copper with argon bubbles and a silver coating and gold contacts")18:56
dwatkinshaha18:56
MartijnVdSbecause it's BETTER18:56
AzelphurI could have got it for like £1 but I don't wanna wait18:56
dwatkinsI can understand a slightly better built connector and a thicker cable so it doesn't bend too much with frequent reconnection, but that's about it18:57
* MartijnVdS has a Zoom H1 mic18:57
