This morning Gmail notified me that my browser is unsupported, which made me realize Chromium for Precise hasn’t been updated since September 2014 and is currently at version 37 (37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg917) whereas more recent versions of Ubuntu are already at Chromium version 41. The ”unsupported version” messages are of course harmless and easy enough to dismiss, but I’m guessing the newer Chromium releases also have important security fixes that should warrant an update – unless there are compatibility issues blocking it from happening?

@virtadpt, good to know that the search will scale. As long as it’s snappy to open and to react to typing, I don’t think I’ll need anything fancier in the popup selector.

And yes, DataOutputAgent is what I’m currently using for emitting the feeds (I just spelled it with whitespace above), unless I’m missing your point.

I’m a heavy Yahoo Pipes user, and recently deployed Huginn to Heroku to see if I could use it to replace Pipes. My main motivation for this is ensuring continuity (should Y! decide to pull the plug on Pipes), but an almost equally important one is that managing Pipes has become nightmarish with the amount of individual pipes I’ve accumulated, currently more than 150.

With Huginn I see I can employ Scenarios to group agents together, which is already more than what Pipes offers. But duplicating just a couple of my Pipes’ functionality in Huginn has already produced six agents. Additionally, unlike Pipes, Scenarios can’t be nested (into Scenarios of Scenarios), so I fear that finding and managing individual agents, and perhaps even Scenarios, would eventually become as complicated as managing Pipes once I’d get in double- and triple-digit amounts.

So what I’d like to have in the UI is more means to classify and search for agents. My old-fashioned instinct makes me suggest a directory-like tree structure, but more modern and semantic solutions such as tagging could work just as well if not better. Being able to select an Agent Type could also be one way to narrow down the main agents list (/agents). That list also doesn’t seem to have a search function. The popup list for selecting agents in the Scenario editor does have a search and it seems to work nicely, with real-time results and all, although I’ve not yet created hundreds of agents to see how well it scales.

(In my case, another natural way to reduce the clutter would be having a true singular RSS feed filtering agent (fetch a feed, filter the results, emit the filtered feed), which is my main use-case for Pipes. Currently I’m using an RSS Agent to fetch the feed, a Trigger Agent to filter the results and a Data Output Agent to output the filtered feed, resulting in three separate agents for each of my Pipes. But this is a separate ”Agent Suggestions” issue from the one I’m reporting here. And of course there might already exist a smarter way to do this which I’m just not aware of.)

/etc/X11/imwheel/imwheel rc starts out with:

# This is only for demonstration of the priority command…
# See the other global Exclude command below for the one you want to use!
# If this is activated it will only apps that have a lower priority
# priority is based first on the priority command, then the position in this
# file – the higher the line is in a file the higher in a priority class it is
# thus for a default priority you can see that the position in the file is
# important, but the priority command CAN appear anywahere in a window’s list
# of translations, and the priority will be assigned to all translations below
# it until either a new window is defined or the priority is set again.

I can’t make heads or tails of that. It’s like most of the sentence-ending periods have been misplaced to make random, unnecessary ellipses elsewhere in the file.

This does indeed seem to be fixed Vivid. Nautilus now has two options to remember the credentials (till logout or forever), and both seem to do what it says on the tin.

I have the exact same problem with the exact same scanner (but I’m running 64-bit Ubuntu w/Linux 3.13.0-45). Sometimes instead of error -110 the logs show the device as being identified correctly, but immediately followed by ”string descriptor 0 read error: -32”. On very rare occasions it just works (no errors when plugged in, identified correctly and scanning works).-110 apparently means not enough power, which is doubly funny because the damn thing has its own power source, and surely a desktop PSU has more power than a laptop…

The community wiki currently claims that the default editor for visudo has been sensible-editor since 8.10 [1]. But for me in both 12.04 and 14.04, `sudo visudo` still launches /etc/alternatives/editor, so select-editor doesn’t actually change visudo’s editor; for that I have to run `sudo update-alternatives –config editor`. So I suspect that either the wiki has incorrect advice, or this bug has been fixed, and has since reappeared.

In README, 2.2.1. Step 1 says I need to add ”execute pathogen#infect()” to .vimrc, while the second point in the checklist at the end of 2.2.2. Step 2 says it should have been ”call pathogen#infect()”. I’m guessing both work, but it should probably be consistently the same in the instructions.

IN 12.04 at least, this seems to be tied to Xorg’s blanking which by default happens after 10 minutes/600 seconds. It can be unset via xset on the commandline, but I finally managed to do this via xorg.conf, like so:

jani@saegusa:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*
Section ”Extensions”
Option ”DPMS” ”Disable”
Option ”MIT-SCREEN-SAVER” ”Disable”
EndSection

Section ”Device”
Identifier ”Intel Graphics”
Driver ”intel”
Option ”DPMS” ”Disable”
EndSection

Section ”ServerFlags”
Option ”NoPM” ”true”
EndSection

Section ”ServerLayout”
Identifier ”X.org Configured”
Option ”BlankTime” ”0”
Option ”StandbyTime” ”0”
Option ”SuspendTime” ”0”
Option ”OffTime” ”0”
EndSection

It could be that just the ServerLayout section is actually required (and I’m not sure if other graphics drivers even have a DPMS option of their own like intel does), as none of the other sections by themselves nor together prevented the screen from turning off. (The most confusing one is MIT-SCREEN-SAVER, which I thought was exactly what the xset timeouts were controlling, but apparently not so, as disabling it does not prevent the issue either.)

Thanks Michael. I’ve added lxpanel as being affected, hopefully someone there can take a look.
