littlekimmyhi17:39
littlekimmyfind . mtime -3 vs find . mtime +3 how are they different.17:39
pragmaticenigmalittlekimmy: Directly from the man page that you didn't read: -mtime n17:39
pragmaticenigma    File's data was last modified n*24 hours ago. See the comments for -atime to understand how rounding affects the interpretation of file modification times.17:39
littlekimmyit doesn't say what if n is +n vs -n.17:43
littlekimmyso find . mtime +3 vs -317:44
pragmaticenigmalittlekimmy: Do you not know basic math?17:44
littlekimmyof course17:44
oerhekslittlekimmy, ye have been answered in ##linux, what do you not like about the answer?17:45
littlekimmyI know basic math. no it has not been answered17:45
oerheksyes it is .. <ayecee> one does older than, the other does newer than17:45
littlekimmyahh thx oerheks I didn't knew he said that.17:46
pragmaticenigmalittlekimmy: If you knew basic math... you would know that the parameter you provided is represented by "n" ... and in the description it states the parameter checks for modifitcation time n*24... so you're expression becomes "-3 * 24" or "3 * 24" depending on the signage you have choosen17:46
oerheksn = days ( 24 hrs17:47
lotuspsychjecrossposting heh?17:47
littlekimmypragmaticenigma: of course the expression becomes +ve or -ve.17:47
littlekimmylotuspsychje: no i came from ##linux when they refused to answer.17:48
lotuspsychjelittlekimmy: oerheks just said you got answered?17:48
pragmaticenigmalittlekimmy: because, they like us, know you didn't take anytime to try and figure it out on your own17:48
littlekimmypragmaticenigma: How did they know one is older than X days ago and the other is newer than X days ago? it's not mentioned ??17:49
littlekimmyI am still wondering reading the manual.17:49
ducassewe can explain to you, we can't understand it for you17:50
pragmaticenigmamtime represents last modification date ... again, in the manual, it bases the calculation on 24 hours from "now"17:50
pragmaticenigmaSo "-mtime 1" would mean 24 hours ago and "-mtime 2" would mean 48 hours ago17:52
littlekimmyno it's not about hours 24*2 = 48 i know that.17:52
littlekimmyI am talking about the sign.17:52
pragmaticenigmathe signage tells in which direction the comparison goes... negative means files before, positive means files after, no sign means precisely17:55
sarnoldthis feels like the sort of thing that's easier to just run two tests and find out what they do rather than ask people on irc to read the docs for you :)17:55
littlekimmypragmaticenigma: how did you know that as the manual doesn't tell it?17:56
pragmaticenigmalittlekimmy: There is this thing... it's called a search engine17:57
pragmaticenigmait helps me find information on the Internet17:57
pragmaticenigmaPersonally, I use duckduckgo... but you can use Google, Bing, Yandex, Yahoo, Altavista, and many many more17:57
littlekimmyrsync -a f/ g/18:21
littlekimmydoes rsync compare f/ and g/ when were they last modified18:21
littlekimmypragmaticenigma: in ubuntu channel i am not allowerd to ask - I want to list all file metadata on ext4 ? which cmd18:33
littlekimmymodification,access time,etc...18:33
TJ-littlekimmy: 'stat /path/to/file'18:33
NyleAnyone use Retroarch?18:42
NyleI find that the ubuntu packages don't work well at all with how retroarch functions.18:42
NyleFor example, you start retroarch after installing from their repo, and what happens is that it has an online updater thing in there to download cores and artwork etc.18:42
NyleYou try to update assets for retroarch, icons, etc. through it, and sicne it installs to a /usr or somethign directory, permission issue, and noting gets written to that directory18:43
lotuspsychjeNyle: snap install retroarch18:43
NyleSo I find retroarch has to be configured to not have any location other than ~/ somewhere you can write to18:43
NyleI will mention this to them.18:44

NyleI don't like the general sentimentality showcased...20:20
NyleIf I am not so good at reading, and failing to understand, I'd ask others to read for me and help me understand.20:20
Nyleducasse │ we can explain to you, we can't understand it for you20:21
NyleYes. Actually you can.20:21
NyleYou can understand something for another and then explain it to them.20:21
NylePerhaps you ought not to be trying your hand at support on freenode if you lack patience.20:21
NyleI find your comments inflammatory and insensitive.20:21
Nylepragmaticenigma │ littlekimmy: because, they like us, know you didn't take anytime to try and figure it out on your own20:22
NyleThat is also inaccurate, becuase obviously, he is taking the time to figure it out on his won.20:22
Nyleown*20:22
NyleObviously. Just because he isn't quick enough, means you can say all these things? Pass judgement? Call another lazy or insinuate laziness on another's part?20:23
NyleMy two cents? Shame on you.20:23
NyleSeriously. Shame. On. You. Might reconsider your desire for 'supporting' others.20:23
NylePerhaps gratify this desire elsewhere, and not at the expense of innocent people.20:23
NyleI'm fairly disgusted.20:23
daftykinsno you're asking people to be your personal tutor, show some consideration for others lives for which you do not pay20:23
NyleSo what?20:24
NyleSo what if he asked?20:24
NyleIf you don't want to, say nothing.20:24
oerheksinstall the snap version, done.20:24
NyleLet those who want to tutor him, tutor him and spend the time.20:24
NyleIt's not your place to pass moral judgements on behavior.20:24
NyleEspecially when your own is borderline abhorrent.20:24
oerhekswhat is your issue?20:25
NyleI just clearly stated it.20:25
NylePerhaps it would be prudent to work on your reading/comprehension skills.20:25
NyleSee? I can say mean things too20:25
Nyle...20:25
NyleTake a lesson and be less arrogant. You wern't born with this knowledge.20:26
hggdhOK, I think this is enough20:26
NyleHumble yourself, mate.20:26
oerhekssnap gives the lates, libretro ppa is dated, and your attitude is abusive.20:32
hggdhagain, enough.20:33
NyleI only asked if anyone used retroarch. I didn't say anything about versions or ppa or latest anything. I just have happened to read the backlog and noticed something that was out of place in my mind, so I commented on it.20:50
NyleIn other news, I do use the dev version of retroarch, always latest, so that's not the problem. It's just the packages that are in ppa don't write in-program update stuff to /lib or /usr or whereever it resides20:52
NyleFor example, one has to configure the retroarch.cfg file to manually change paths/locations to NOT point to anywhere in /usr/ or /lib (where I seem to not have any write permissions)20:52
NyleOnce I change the paths to somewhere in ~/retroarch/ or something, I can download cores, assets, cheats, thumbnails, etc. etc.20:53
NyleI used a default cfg that comes with retroarch (or gets generated), it defaults to those locations and then you cannot download cores or update them etc. etc.20:54
NyleI also see packafges like retroarch-(enginename here) etc. packages so it seems they are packaging the cores as seperate packages20:54
NyleI just noticed the difference in how the ppa/packags work as opposed to how snap dev version works.20:57
NyleBecause, I think it would be better as package instead of a snap package, but that's my preference.20:57
hggdhNyle: PPAs are build by, and maintained (if at all) outside of official packages. How a PPA works (or does not) is something that only the PPA creator can resolve21:26
NyleYup. I said earlier, I'll bring it up with them. 06:44:05 pm                 │ I will mention this to them21:29
NyleThough I wonder why they prefer also the snap packages.21:30
hggdhack21:30
NyleI never cared for snaps that much. Seems it always has some issue in someting somewhere. Like one thing how to make it read outside directories properly21:30
hggdhmostly because a snap can be (theoretically) used on any supported platform, without needing to build one package per platform/version. And they can be made to access outside directories (some assembly required)21:32
NyleOh really?21:32
Nylethat's useful21:33
Nyleso if snap was madeon ubuntu it will work on redheat or osmeting21:33

hggdhyes, it would, pretty much like flatpaks21:45
