Burn2I have got an advice for al the people that use compiz with mate07:47
Burn2has i report yesterday, alt tab will not show the minimised application, even if it's selected on the application switch07:48
Burn2(with all)07:48
Burn2the solution to make it back, is to disable the "mate integration" pluggin, and select "gnome pluggin" instead. Then it work like a charm...07:48
Burn2ok no the solution is to disable "solution" pluggin, some inside is the problem07:50
Burn2ok i have got it!!!07:51
Burn2it's the option "keep preview of minimised application that made that!07:51
lion007additions comes in-built ubuntu mate or i need to install them separately :/07:56
lion007*guest additions07:56
Burn2you meen for vmware?07:57
lion007VirtualBox07:57
Burn2i think that you have to install it from synaptic07:59
lion007just realized that firefox not playing videos from youtube and vimeo, i'm running 16.04.1 lts in VB07:59
Burn2i see "virtualbox-guest..."07:59
lion007intel core i3 5010 4GB ram07:59
lion007host Win10 BTW08:00
Burn2i have to go , will come back later08:00
lion007ok08:01
Burn2in fact you should install the guest if it's not already done, and take a look on virtualbox if acceleration 2D/3D is enabled08:05
lion007should i enable 2d and 3d acceleration in VB?08:21

Guest24249Any chance someone can teach me how to do something (presumably simple) in a bash script? I want it so if I put an arguement after the command, no matter what the arguement is, it'll give the output with "?<arguement>" at the end of it.08:30
Guest24249or could someone recommend me a better place to ask this question?08:30
Burn2it's easy...08:31
Guest24249I'm really new to this though :/08:32
Burn2echo $1 ...08:32
Guest24249Can you give me an example of how to do it?08:32
Burn2https://thepb.in/p/76hErpxOnJqSV08:34
Burn2#!/bin/bash08:34
Burn2is it what you wanted to do?08:34
Burn2(ps it should be named name.sh and you should make it runnable)08:34
Guest24249I still can't figure out how to have it be on the same line as the output... Sorry that I really know nothing.08:39
lion0072D video acceleration works only in Windows guests :( i just installed guest additions from autorun.sh provided by VB08:42
lion007gonna try with chrome if same issue to play videos08:42
Burn2"on the same line as the output" i do not understand what you mean08:48
Guest24249https://p.defau.lt/?11OPuA5M3Fz_F8OlLrTVFg is what it's like in the terminal, but I want it to be output?jd08:51
Burn2Guest24249: i do not understand, what i give you did that08:55
Burn2"./test.sh test08:55
Burn2The first parameter is : test"08:55
Burn2echo "The first parameter is : ?$1" ==> The first parameter is : ?test08:56
Burn2just change "the fist parameter is" by "output?"08:56
Burn2./test.sh test08:57
Burn2Output?test08:57
mate|40300So let's say the script is to run "date +%d" when I run the script with the arguement jd, I want the output to be 09?jd09:09

rduteCan someone help me out with this? http://sprunge.us/FUBj?bash I'm really new to scripting.22:27
rahtgazrdute: try to replace curl -F with curl -Fs or curl -F --silent22:38
rahtgazWhat happens is that curl will by default output information on data transferred unless you tell it otherwise. The -s or --silent option tell curls to shush22:39
rahtgazs/tell curls/tells curl22:41
rduteI tried a couple, but itturned out I had to put the silent argument before -F22:49
rahtgazyeah. my bad. the F option requires an argument, which is the target address. So s must come before F22:51
rahtgazor after the argument to F22:51
rduteAlright, thanks for the help!22:51
rahtgazno worries22:51
