    [xubuntu] Re: Scripting with two required conditionals

    Not sure if that is directed at me. If so I was just giving you an example. One thing though is wouldn't it make more sense if they weren't overlapping times? Like instead of:


    (( x > 0530 && x <...

    [xubuntu] Re: Scripting with two required conditionals

    Here is another way you can do it too:


    #! /bin/bash
    x=$(date '+%H%M')
    y="espeak -s 140 -ven-us+f4"
    (( x > 0530 && x < 1200)) && $y "Good morning, $USER"
    (( x > 1200 && x < 2130)) && $y ...

    [ubuntu] Re: How do I disable screen-off on a new X?

    Are you running the xset commands from :3 or from the xsession you are loading the game from? If you are running that command from 0 you may need to do something like "xset -dpms -display :3" and...

    [gnome] Re: Problem with Gnome 3.8

    Are you using a custom theme? If so then make sure your theme is compatible. Lots of issues with themes since they break from gtk 3.4 -> 3.6 -> 3.8. It's a real mess.

    The output here says that conky is not running. It only shows conky as it related to you grepping it with ps. That is why you were not able to kill it. Your issue is coming from somewhere else. Did...

    Re: Mir vs. Wayland & effect on Linux "Ecosystem"?

    I don't think this will be the case. As far as I know wayland has some sort of X emulation (reusing dri drivers at least (doesn't that apply to amd/ati drivers?)) I would be surprised if mir didn't...

    So would you say that this move may in a way actually be self defeating (on the desktop specifically not a phone)?

    Re: Mir vs. Wayland & effect on Linux "Ecosystem"?

    Okay so in this respect wouldn't the fault be with wayland upstream then rather than mir? Why not just gpl?

    Re: Mir vs. Wayland & effect on Linux "Ecosystem"?

    Yeah, I suppose your right. No need to apologize then though. They should have just told the community to get bent instead since that's the truth.

    Re: Mir vs. Wayland & effect on Linux "Ecosystem"?

    Why "and..?"? Does it not concern you that the upstream developers would lie or mislead the community with respects to development? Not at all? Not even with a public apology / admission of guilt? I...

  21. [ubuntu] Re: ntpd is not up when trying to run at startup using /etc/rc.local

    I doubt you would need more than 30 seconds in your sleep script. Does running "sudo ntpd -s" set the correct time as it is now if you run it in a shell?

    Edit: Also, the comment above meant the...
