UUID=[###] /home/me/w7 ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,windows_names 0 0

I gues that umask of 000 = 777 is the key. What is uid=1000?

My computer is dual booted with Ubuntu 13.10 x64 and Windws 7 x64. I edited my /etc/fstab to include my Windows partition:

With 13.10 on my Dell Alienware M11X R2 with an NVIDIA card (this is key), my fan wouldn't stop running. I ran top/htop to see what was up. I googled and found that this solved my problem:

With a reinstall every 6 months, I keep forgetting a few things like this.

I hate the purple background on Grub. I just want black. I never seem to have luck with custom background image. What works best is changing Grub so that it's all text.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I had XFCE, LXDE, Cinnamon, and Unity (or Gnome?) Fallback installed since 12.04 came out (in the case of Cinnamon, whenever it was readily available). Everything ran fine...

I'm running 12.04 with GDM and Gnome Classic installed. How can I set the default session to be Gnome Classic and not Unity?

I checked /var/lib/AcountsService/users/me. I found that the session is...

Worked great! Thanks so much!

I just ran:


rm -rf .emacs.d/

Not sure what was in that folder, but now 'emacs .bashrc' works fine.

Thanks, but no thanks...just trying to fix my emacs.



I do agree that nano is great!

I've tried apt-get purging and reinstalling emacs, but if I run:
