guiverctask34/41:  (smart package removal); where would I go to look for how it's done in ubiquity?  or is grabbing the `apt install source` the best approach?06:54

wxl@lynorian: toot away my friend :)19:03
lynorianI have a need to know what the desktop spec is for current directory19:05
* kc2bez forwarded your forum post to the Telegram announcement channel wxl 19:07
wxldanke19:08
wxlcould you provide some context @lynorian ?19:11
lynoriantrying to actually provide an example for custom actions for open in terminal19:12
lynoriantrying qterminal -w to open that file path but need the current directory19:12
wxlthese are qterminal custom actions?19:13
lynorianno in pcmanfm-qt as an exmpale somewhat different than the manjaro ones19:13
wxlah ok19:14
wxlso here's the section on actions https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#extra-actions19:14
wxlthe section on the exec key is relevant as it tells you about all the variables https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables19:15
lynorianI actually don't see one there unfortanetly19:16
wxlif you need to act only on a current directory, make sure to set MimeTypes=inode/directory;19:16
wxland then you could use %f19:16
lynorianok19:16
wxli wish there was more consistency between terminals 19:17
wxl`x-terminal-emulator -e 'cd %f'`  or something of the sort might be more portable19:18
wxlOOOOOH an expandable terminal emulator with tons of features that does not require a UI toolkit. it uses OpenGL, leaving all rendering to the GPU, so less footprint on the overall system. it's got a cute logo, too. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/19:35
wxlc + python19:35
wxllatest commit 5 hours ago19:35
lynorianwxl not sure I would want that in a vm though19:36
wxlright right19:36
lubot<kc2bez> I know a guy that raves about kitty. I haven't tried it myself yet.19:37
wxllooks pretty rad given the feature list. i'm not one to change terminals but this is tempting19:37
lubot<kc2bez> Sounds cool. I may have to give it a go.19:38
lynorianI mean it is cool like how I like xfs but understand a good reason for it not being default is not able to be shrunk.19:38
wxlif and when zfs becomes rock solid, i'm all for making it default :)19:39
lubot<UniversalSuperBox> x!=z19:39
wxli am aware, incidentially19:40

lubot<SamuelBanya> I got in touch with the Ubuntu dev who helps with the ISO tester for Ubuntu and I'll email him tonight to ask how we can automate iso testing. Once I figure out how to deploy that app, I'll host it on my Digital Ocean droplet via a cronjob daily and I'll figure out how to get it to send out related reports22:19
lubot<SamuelBanya> *via LinkedIn. He gave me his email address thankfully as well so I'll keep in touch with him.22:19
wxlneat22:22
lubot<tsimonq2> @SamuelBanya [I got in touch with the Ubuntu dev who helps with the ISO tester for Ubuntu and …], jibel?22:22
lubot<SamuelBanya> Joshua Powers22:23
lubot<tsimonq2> ohhhh22:23
lubot<tsimonq2> yeah I know him22:23
lubot<SamuelBanya> I also tried emailing the following mailing list but was told I was emailing the wrong one to get help with porting redshift gir-devel-list@gnome.org22:24
lubot<SamuelBanya> I'll try emailing the qt one instead of the gtk one as well22:24
lubot<tsimonq2> ah22:25
wxlprogress is good22:25
lubot<tsimonq2> @SamuelBanya [I got in touch with the Ubuntu dev who helps with the ISO tester for Ubuntu and …], We have a Jenkins instance you can use :)22:26
lubot<SamuelBanya> Ok whatever works in that case22:36
