[02:44] <cerebrate> thats how many free ubuntu discs i require for self pleasure 38
[02:48] <Unit193> Is there some support question you had?
[03:05] <cerebrate> yes but i forgot it
[03:05] <cerebrate> oh now i remember
[03:05] <cerebrate> do the repos have any decent brain training programs?
[03:06] <cerebrate> also how do i become fluent in all unix based... nevermind hehe
[03:14] <Unit193> !info gbrainy
[03:39] <Vivekananda> hey there
[03:39] <Vivekananda> everyone. Can someone tell me a good way to compare files eg html files
[03:40] <Vivekananda> diff is great but with the <> already in it it is a mess to compare them using diff
[03:40] <wxl> Vivekananda: diff
[03:56] <wxl> Vivekananda: oh hah i didn't see that. you know you can tweak how diff displays things, right?
[03:57] <holstein> wxl: you can /join #ubuntu to follow the progress of the answering of the abovre question
[03:57] <wxl> oh i'll pass
[03:57] <Unit193> diff -u
[03:57] <wxl> have we landed here yet? http://www.w3.org/wiki/HtmlDiff
[03:58] <Vivekananda> wxl: would be great to get a pointer
[03:58] <wxl> Vivekananda: go check that url
[03:58] <Vivekananda> I have pasted my problem in patebin
[03:59] <Vivekananda> ok sure !
[04:00] <Vivekananda> also can you tell me how to change the default program for a file. I mistakenly set libre office for .pdf and since then it is always trying to do that. I tried changing agian but it does not change
[04:00] <wxl> also http://furius.ca/xxdiff/
[04:00] <wxl> and http://meldmerge.org/
[04:01] <wxl> right click / open with / click the always checkbox doesn't fix it?
[04:02] <Vivekananda> wxl: the question is actually a little different. I am doing a course online for Xpath and my output and the answer output both are a single line full of tags and data from the xml
[04:02] <Vivekananda> now it is a long line and I want to compare them both. in meld or xdiff both appear as just one big line each
[04:03] <Vivekananda> here is the output -- http://pastebin.com/HF7P2MLG
[04:04] <wxl> gvimdiff
[04:04] <wxl> and run :set wrap
[04:04] <wxl> fixed
[04:04] <wxl> d
[04:04] <wxl> [SOLVED], carry on :)
[04:05] <Vivekananda> so supposing my two files are t1 and t2 I say --- gvimdiff t1 t2 ??
[04:07] <Vivekananda> wxl?
[04:08] <Unit193> Basically.
[04:12] <Vivekananda> wxl: If I run that ( gvim t1 t2) it gives me all in one line only
[04:12] <Vivekananda> so not a lot of help there :(
[04:12] <wxl> Vivekananda: you need to listen better
[04:12] <wxl> 2004 < wxl:#lubuntu> and run :set wrap
[04:13] <wxl> depending on how much text you have :set scrollbind might help
[04:14] <wxl> oh :syncbind might take care of the whole thing
[04:16] <Vivekananda> wxl: I am confused by what you said above and can only guess after reading it x3. I initially assumed you gave me instructions for running gvimdiff and assumed run:set wrap was part of those instructions. Now you have written "2004 < wxl:#lubuntu> and run :set wrap
 depending on how much text you have :set scrollbind might help" not sure what part of that I should run in the terminal and how. Not even sure if you replying to my question or talking about something entirely unconnected
[04:17] <Vivekananda> what did I miss ( "you need to listen better") ?
[04:18] <Vivekananda> :)
[04:18] <Vivekananda> Not even sure if you replied to me or were talking to holstein coz I find my name only referenced once above !!
[04:45] <wxl> Vivekananda: i can teach you vim but if you click in both buffers and type ":set nowrap" (without the quotes) and hit enter, it will turn wordwrap on. subsequently, if yuo type ":syncbind" (no quotes) and hit enter, it will sync the scrolling between them. beyond that, go check out vim's website or  read the manual :)
[13:28] <pmatulis> if i autologin, does that mean i circumvent the standard ways of autostarting an application?
[13:28] <pmatulis> (~/.config/autostart/...)
[15:34] <holstein> pmatulis: i would try it, but i dont think anything should change on that level
[15:40] <pmatulis> holstein: yeah, it doesn't work
[15:41] <holstein> pmatulis: "it" being, autostart?.. autostarting some application worked, then you enabled autologin and its not working?
[15:42] <pmatulis> holstein: no, i'm autologin always.  i didn't test turning that off
[15:44] <holstein> pmatulis: then, lets not assume that autologin has anything to do with it.. i would look at the method by which you are autostarting what and how
[15:44] <pmatulis> holstein: i'm not assuming, i'm asking a question
[15:45] <pmatulis> 08:28 <  pmatulis> if i autologin, does that mean i circumvent the standard ways of autostarting an application?
[15:46] <holstein> pmatulis: autologin shouldnt be "breaking" autostart.. you can disable it and test the autostart, or look at your autostart setup
[15:47] <holstein> http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Autostart those .desktop files can be tricky
[15:51] <holstein> i have a custom openbox setup with things like "nitrogen --restore &" in the file ~/.config/openbox/autostart
