Thanks for the reply.

I think you're right about the buffered stdout and newline, because when the IP displays, the prompt appears right after, on the same line.

And thanks for the heads up...

This is really bugging me.

Recently I saw someone's conkyrc which fetches their external IP with the following simple bash command:

Can anyone help with this?

I'm writing an application whose ultimate target platform will be Windows. But I'm developing in Linux because I really need to get more used to it.

So through Googling I found this article on how...

I'm an idiot. ](*,)

After not using Linux and Wine for awhile, I forgot how it works. I thought I had to add every app I want to use to the list; instead all I have to do is just rune "wine...

Ok, Wine 1.2 is now installed. Unfortunately it's still doing the same thing. :(

Ok, I understand, thanks!

Why do I have to set that TTY environment variable (if that's indeed what that is doing)? Doesn't the at program "know" what terminal I'm calling it from?

Alright, that worked, thanks (with zenity anyways.)
But what if I want the output of echo displayed to the terminal? I don't have a mail server set up on this machine. Would I have to set up a...

I recently read about "at" and thought it was neat, so I wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to.

I would type:

Then in the prompt I...

Universe is definitely checked, but Synaptic lists the latest version as 1.1.42-0ubuntu4, for both the "wine" and "wine1.2" packages. This is the case even after reloading everything.

I tried clicking Autodetect in the Drives tab, and it populated the drives list with a few extras which weren't there initially. But then when I click Apply and exit out of winecfg, when I come back...

Hey all,

Been a while since I've posted. I recently just came back into Ubuntu and I've already run into a problem; I'm so rusty I don't even know where to start!

Alright, do I need to back up anything first? Will removing Firefox remove my bookmarks, cookies, etc.?

This is very strange. When I click the Firefox icon on my toolbar at the top, usually it launches Firefox 3.0, but sometimes it will launch Firefox 3.5. I can't really tell what it's going to be...

Thanks, but I live in Canada.
What that means is, we get raped on anything that gets imported from the US. The cost of any item goes up drastically, sometimes DOUBLED, thanks to duties, shipping,...

That's for the reply.

I don't believe it's RAM. I just tried a BRAND NEW stick of RAM, fresh bought, and it does the same thing.

As for the power supply, I just happened to replace it as well...

Any takers?

I hate to sound like a downer, but I doubt there's anything they CAN do for you.

Internet scams like this are very common these days, and in all honesty there's not too much you can do about them...

I really don't see what getting a new IP address is going to do to help his situation.
