| wolfspraul | don't ask how or why that severe rootfs corruption went away, but it did by itself just by sleeping (on my side :-)) | 00:41 |
|---|---|---|
| wolfspraul | I need to *urgently* work on the servers and the long neglected todo list... | 00:42 |
| wolfspraul | and after these good plans, going to do something more important first :-) what else... | 00:42 |
| wpwrak | it's always nice if messy problems solve themselves on their own ;-) | 00:49 |
| whitequark | ... to remanifest themselves in the worst moment ever | 01:01 |
| wpwrak | whitequark: so russians are also pessimists in summer ;-) | 01:04 |
| whitequark | wpwrak: in summer? | 01:33 |
| whitequark | that's more dependent on the country than on time of year. | 01:34 |
| whitequark | or did you mean "even in summer"? in which case, yes. | 01:35 |
| wpwrak | yes, even in summer :) | 01:45 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Xiangfu: copy cx6slx9 from azonenberg lib (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/kicad-libs/880f009 | 03:41 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Xiangfu: add AUTHOR/pro info about xc6slx9-tqg144 (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/kicad-libs/dd67cef | 03:41 |
| larsc | wpwrak: do you mind making xdg-open the default action for opening the pdf in dsv? | 11:25 |
| wpwrak | larsc: hmm. if picking a launcher, then it probably should be mimeopen ? it's kinda hard to find something that everyone is likely to have | 11:39 |
| wpwrak | xdg-open is kinda unfriendly. doesn't say how you can change the default choice. | 11:41 |
| larsc | well, it uses the system default | 11:49 |
| larsc | and installed on all modern linux systems | 11:50 |
| larsc | modern desktop system | 11:51 |
| larsc | s | 11:51 |
| wpwrak | hmm. mimeopen seems to have a somewhat obscure origin. libfile-mimeinfo-perl | 11:57 |
| mth | who changes the default choice? the user can change it using KDE or GNOME or whatever is behind xdg-open and if the calling program wants to change the default, why not launch the desired application directly? | 11:57 |
| wpwrak | mth: that's what i currenly do. i launch $DSV_PDFVIEWER, which defaults to xpdf | 11:58 |
| wpwrak | mth: and how do i change that "system default" if my desktop is fvwm ? | 11:58 |
| mth | you could use $DSV_PDFVIEWER if it is set and xdg-open if it is not set | 11:59 |
| mth | fvwm is not a desktop, is it? | 11:59 |
| wpwrak | alright, my "desktop" ;-) | 11:59 |
| wpwrak | besides that, it's just a few xterms and whatever browser may happen to wander by | 12:00 |
| mth | you can implement your own xdg-open replacement | 12:00 |
| mth | it seems xdg-open supports KDE, GNOME, xfce4 and lxde out of the box | 12:01 |
| wpwrak | now that sounds a little awkward ;-) | 12:02 |
| larsc | and it has a generic fallback | 12:03 |
| mth | well, if you want to run a minimalist system, you've got to take the good and the bad ;) | 12:03 |
| wpwrak | hmm, /etc/alternatives/ doesn't seem to have a solution either. | 12:09 |
| wpwrak | seems that xdg-open's been around for a few years. six years ... still pretty new, though. | 12:17 |
| larsc | has been always there, as long as I can remember ;) | 12:18 |
| wpwrak | those little benefits of amnesia ;-) | 12:22 |
| larsc | well actually I can't remember when I started using Linux, but the internet suggests that it was in 2005-2006 | 12:25 |
| roh | larsc: same here.. but i know i was hired because it had something to do with it around 2000... so it must have been 98 or earlier | 12:26 |
| roh | 97/98 .. suse 5.1 was recent and 5.3 came soon after | 12:27 |
| larsc | I still remember the day I did my first Linux installation though, just not the date of that day | 12:29 |
| larsc | I always thought the system crashed, because the screen blanked... and restarted installation | 12:31 |
| larsc | it was a gentoo system so installation took a bit longer | 12:31 |
| larsc | how I miss those days of watching your system endlessly compling stuff as it upgrades | 12:35 |
| wpwrak | and then, after ten hours, fail for some reason ... | 12:36 |
| larsc | conflicting eflags, or whatever they were called | 12:38 |
| wpwrak | or just some odd combination they didn't anticipate. what's annoying is that they delete old packages. e.g., i have a gentoo system that had its last major update in 2007 and it's basically stuck at that now because there isn't even a coherent upgrade path in the gentoo archives :-( | 12:44 |
| larsc | hm, I still have that PC somewhere, last updated four years ago or so | 12:46 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Werner Almesberger: dsv/dsv: change viewer default from xpdf to xdg-open; introduce DSV_VIEWER; add README (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/eda-tools/4a0b547 | 12:49 |
| larsc | yeay! | 12:54 |
| larsc | btw. what's actually missing is a description of the catalog file format | 12:55 |
| wpwrak | and as an added benefit, i now know how to make chromium open PDFs with xpdf ;-) | 12:55 |
| wpwrak | (catalog file format) i know, i know. only so many jiffies in a night ... :) | 12:56 |
| kristianpaul | morning :) | 14:47 |
| wolfspraul | good morning | 14:49 |
| larsc | wolfspraul: did the server come back by itself? | 17:56 |
| kristianpaul | rootkits/malware are very smart those days :) | 18:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | xilinx ZYNQ | 18:40 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sounds nice | 18:40 |
| wolfspraul | larsc: thanks for asking. no, not by itself, but it was messy and I'm in the process of moving everything to a new server. | 22:23 |
| wolfspraul | which will take a few days but now that the old one is limping along that is ok | 22:23 |
