I didn't think that would work based on what I'd observed earlier but I've tried it again and confirmed that it acts as you say.

Thanks,

Wulf

Thanks for those suggestions. I'm still not sure what the "Share Files with the Local Network" checkbox in the GUI is affecting though.

How do I set up user privileges from the command line? Specifically, I want to enable "Share Files with the Local Network" via the script I use to create new user accounts rather than having to...

If you're just planning to learn in a speculative fashion rather than to solve any particular problem (and there's nothing wrong with that), why not delve into both. I've found the O'Reilly book,...

I've been using Thunderbird at home for ages. At work, I tried Evolution for a couple of months earlier this year but have now switched to Thunderbird. I don't know if that really means it's better...

I agree that it's FUD - it's like saying I shouldn't be running Linux on my main box at work because it's got a sticker on the side saying "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP"!

I'd not even heard of it. When I last went through a spate of wanting to do some vector drawing, I installed Inkscape and was quite happy with it. I'll keep Skencil in mind though next time.

I'm planning to move over to Hoary sometime during April, although I'll start with my test machine. I'll probably also be among the cautious who hold back a bit until plenty of people have written...

Is there no migration tool? How complex is the table structure? Of course, that is exactly the reason I'm a big fan of plain text files for storing information!

Did you have it in your cgi-bin directory, and were other perl scripts working there (a simple "Hello World" script would do to test)?

If it becomes relevant to try it again, let me know, as I've...

Thanks for pointing that out - many eyes make it hard for the bugs to hide. Having corrected the problem, it does demonstrate one small problem with Blosxom - it takes the date the file was last...

I've been using Blogger for a couple of years now, providing news for the front page of my two band websites (The Elusive Teeth (gig tomorrow evening in South London, UK for any locals!) and...

Late 90's and Redhat 5 or thereabouts (came with a book on Linux). I toyed with Linux for the next few years, normally having a Linux machine around somewhere but not often booting it, because I...

Strange - it works smoothly for me. Anyway, I think you can safely ask away here on the forums (although it might be worth doing some searches first for the information...

I like the idea of using "wood" as your desktop image - a nice pun (especially if, as I do, your office is furnished with plastics and metal)... I'll have to bear that in mind when I'm ready for a...

It's all good. I'm noticing your other updates as well. So far, the only one I might like to see changed a bit is the "quick reply" icon - I think the arrow would be better pointing down rather than...

I like the new icon - much clearer, thanks.

The "Linus" book - Just for Fun gives some interesting background. If you're looking for relevant biographical works, I think it should definitely have a place on your list. Another one I read a...

I'm glad I p***ed my message on...

Just messing wid ya! :D

Wulf (happily bassing again)

I just noticed that my signature now shows me as a B***ist rather than a "B a s s i s t"; is that a problem with an overactive "bad word filter"? I'm not sure that the "donkey word" needs to be...

I agree with keeping it simple. Playing around with themes and backgrounds is easy and gives you a quick sense of accomplishment, reminding you that Ubuntu is your home, so you can decorate it how...

Who's Bruji?

Not bad - some interesting reading and a nice clean, simple site layout.

Vim.

There has been discussion about spinning off a "Kubuntu" project but I'm not sure where that's got to - do a search on these boards to catch up.

However, I think Ubuntu's clear focus is a good...
