I understand fprint isn't quite up to being a proper authentication mechanism yet, but how come anyone could enroll his fingerprint using
fprintd-enroll

For instance - an unauthorised person...

Wait-wait, that might be my issue. Where could I set the entry UEFI boots from? I didn't set it manually for the Ubuntu either.

Edit:
Okay, got it. Sorry for my noobery, this particular...

Up, still no success. Would there be a way to at least boot into Windows again?

Yes, tried with secureBoot on and off.

Btw the forum formating issue seems to be Chromium-related: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2130762

Issue confirmed on Chromium version 25.0.1364.160 Debian 7.0 (186726)

Still no-go.
What I did:
1. run Boot-Repair --> Adv options --> tick "Backup and rename EFI files" --> Apply
2. Reboot - still the same, doesn't boot anywhere (no boot-loader)
3. Enabled...

HP Probook 4545s, came with Win8 installation.
First installed Ubuntu onto sparate '/' partition; after restart system rebooted into Win8 (no GRUB whatsoever). Then ran boot-repair for the first...

Thanks, got it working!
But as I understand, eval seems to be the only way the wanted result can be achieved?

Let's say there's a cron job

00 19 29 05 * /home/laur/Documents/comp/scripts/todo.sh "some random text quoted" May 29 19:00
in other words it'll run todo.sh with 4 arguments.

If $1 was echoed...

No problem. I'm probably pausing the further development for some time. I first thought the script would be 10 lines or so, but it grows and grows. It's time to actually learn bash a bit (not...

That is correct.

Ok, then I'll leave the script as it is. Unfortunately my ISP is blocking ports, so I'm unable to test it.

First I tried listing (ls command) random location on the ssh server....

I'd recommend you getting a decent PCI device. Should be more robust and doesn't occupy an USB slot.
Edit: just make sure you do you homework and confirm the modle you choose is supported by Linux.

Hey, I have set up a home SSH server and written a bash script that automaticalli backs up onto it. At the moment, my script first tries to connect server via LAN address, if that fails, tries the...

What if the --size-only flag is being used? In that case, files are being compared based on their size instead of hashes. Does the flag change anything concerning mid-sync changes?

One working python version can be found here: LINK
I'm trying to modify this one, so only the subject of first mail would be printed.

Nope, that one was python written, but i guess perl works fine as well. Thanks (Y)
Edit: That one isn't working for me. No error, but simply doesn't do what it should (for instance, states '0 new...

Can't find the gmail script which didn't only show mail count but also showed subjects. Does anyone have that in hand?
(need a script to see the subject of the last mail only)

I'm using this python with conky to check email count.
How could the last mail (new or old) subject be printed out?


#!/usr/bin/python
import urllib2
import base64
import os

#check...

Bring the post up.

... as Impulse consumes pretty heavily CPU resource.

Yet another update for gmail.py and corresponding .conkyrc line.
gmail.py now first checks for Internet connection - if there is none, creates file conky_connection_down.dat. Existence of this file...

Edit 2:
Got it finally running. Cron had to be set up via 'cron-config'.
This tutorial helped: http://linuxbites.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/starting-crontab-in-cygwin/
My recommendation for future...

Okay, managed to get this far:

Installed cron and cygrunsrv.

Tried installing cron as Windows service using commands:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D

which yielded in error (Win32...

Thanks, i'll try to get the cron running.
Second recommendation isn't acceptable though - i am running Ubuntu myself, i need to convert that script for the computer at the Academy where i'm studying.

Is setting cronjobs possible in Windows using cygwin? As i understand, linux kernel is needed for that!?
