[02:42] <nomic> 16.04
[02:42] <nomic> is the current lts
[02:59] <lion007> hi, ubuntu mate 16.04 will have 5 years of support like ubuntu lts?
[03:00] <lion007> please help
[03:05] <lion007> oh i just figured out on the download page, thanks anyways :B
[07:05] <lion007> hi guys please someone could help me with an issue of guest additions
[07:26] <Burn2> hello
[07:41] <lion007> system info is not giving ram specification :(
[07:47] <Burn2> I have got an advice for al the people that use compiz with mate
[07:48] <Burn2> has i report yesterday, alt tab will not show the minimised application, even if it's selected on the application switch
[07:48] <Burn2> (with all)
[07:48] <Burn2> the solution to make it back, is to disable the "mate integration" pluggin, and select "gnome pluggin" instead. Then it work like a charm...
[07:50] <Burn2> ok no the solution is to disable "solution" pluggin, some inside is the problem
[07:51] <Burn2> ok i have got it!!!
[07:51] <Burn2> it's the option "keep preview of minimised application that made that!
[07:56] <lion007> additions comes in-built ubuntu mate or i need to install them separately :/
[07:56] <lion007> *guest additions
[07:57] <Burn2> you meen for vmware?
[07:57] <lion007> VirtualBox
[07:59] <Burn2> i think that you have to install it from synaptic
[07:59] <lion007> just realized that firefox not playing videos from youtube and vimeo, i'm running 16.04.1 lts in VB
[07:59] <Burn2> i see "virtualbox-guest..."
[07:59] <lion007> intel core i3 5010 4GB ram
[08:00] <lion007> host Win10 BTW
[08:00] <Burn2> i have to go , will come back later
[08:01] <lion007> ok
[08:05] <Burn2> in fact you should install the guest if it's not already done, and take a look on virtualbox if acceleration 2D/3D is enabled
[08:21] <lion007> should i enable 2d and 3d acceleration in VB?
[08:30] <Guest24249> Any 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] <Guest24249> or could someone recommend me a better place to ask this question?
[08:31] <Burn2> it's easy...
[08:32] <Guest24249> I'm really new to this though :/
[08:32] <Burn2> echo $1 ...
[08:32] <Guest24249> Can you give me an example of how to do it?
[08:34] <Burn2> https://thepb.in/p/76hErpxOnJqSV
[08:34] <Burn2> #!/bin/bash
[08:34] <Burn2> is it what you wanted to do?
[08:34] <Burn2> (ps it should be named name.sh and you should make it runnable)
[08:39] <Guest24249> I still can't figure out how to have it be on the same line as the output... Sorry that I really know nothing.
[08:42] <lion007> 2D video acceleration works only in Windows guests :( i just installed guest additions from autorun.sh provided by VB
[08:42] <lion007> gonna try with chrome if same issue to play videos
[08:48] <Burn2> "on the same line as the output" i do not understand what you mean
[08:51] <Guest24249> https://p.defau.lt/?11OPuA5M3Fz_F8OlLrTVFg is what it's like in the terminal, but I want it to be output?jd
[08:55] <Burn2> Guest24249: i do not understand, what i give you did that
[08:55] <Burn2> "./test.sh test
[08:55] <Burn2> The first parameter is : test"
[08:56] <Burn2> echo "The first parameter is : ?$1" ==> The first parameter is : ?test
[08:56] <Burn2> just change "the fist parameter is" by "output?"
[08:57] <Burn2> ./test.sh test
[08:57] <Burn2> Output?test
[09:09] <mate|40300> So 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?jd

[15:24] <eightfold> nomic: what do you mean by that? /home/USERNAME/.themes/THEMENAME/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
[15:24] <eightfold> that's how it looks
[15:24] <eightfold> should the contents of gtk-2.0 dir go directly under THEMENAME
[15:24] <eightfold> ?
[15:24] <eightfold> or should it be in the gtk-2.0 subdir?
[15:25] <ibm> hi
[15:25] <Guest23118> i love my new name
[15:27] <nomic> eightfold, find out where your themes reside
[15:27] <nomic> find out what themes you are downloading
[15:27] <nomic> try to put them in the same place
[15:27] <nomic> i have no idea whether desktop themes on ubuntu / xfce  are standard or not
[21:32] <rai> ola
[22:27] <rdute> Can someone help me out with this? http://sprunge.us/FUBj?bash I'm really new to scripting.
[22:38] <rahtgaz> rdute: try to replace curl -F with curl -Fs or curl -F --silent
[22:39] <rahtgaz> What 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 shush
[22:41] <rahtgaz> s/tell curls/tells curl
[22:49] <rdute> I tried a couple, but itturned out I had to put the silent argument before -F
[22:51] <rahtgaz> yeah. my bad. the F option requires an argument, which is the target address. So s must come before F
[22:51] <rahtgaz> or after the argument to F
[22:51] <rdute> Alright, thanks for the help!
[22:51] <rahtgaz> no worries
