and so say we all

Lovinglinux's link fixed what I needed. I used the first section on that page, and sure enough, I still had lingering bits of conflicting flash plugins. Thank you guys so much, this was making me...

I think that is what happened. I've had this machine for a long time just upgrading it, and I've had flash problems in the past, so my "fixes" have probably interfered with the upgrades. I've gotten...

I have had quite a bit of trouble now getting flash to work on only one of my machines, the others work just fine. I have installed the flashplugin-installer, ran the .deb from abobe.com, gotten the...

ok, I solved my problem. I hadn't found anything that worked with linux, but I ran the chkdsk utility via the windows command line to fix it and it succeeded (though it took *forever*). I don't like...

I am fairly certain that this has to do with a proxy, though I wish I had something better to say about fixing it. I tried setting both my http_proxy and https_proxy variables in my .bashrc (sourced)...

I was getting the sun-java6-jre bs:


Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only...

I tried deleting the sources in synaptic as prescribed, but that didn't do anything. poking around some more, i found this bug page:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24234

that command seems to run fine, but the apt update still doesn't run without error.



gpg: requesting key 437D05B5 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com

i still get the same error. is that key public? ie, can it be shared between people, or do i have to generate my own?

here is the error:

I seem to be having the same issue with not updating properly on my netbook. This is the contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list:

So i wrote this little script that generates some encrypted text, and every time i need to copy that text, then paste it into something else. is there a way to just have the script copy that text...

I want to insert the next month into the body of a script. I have a little task management bash script that i use, but that part isn't really relevant. I want to have a chron job set up that will do...

Do you mean that firefox isn't showing up in the task bar (the panel down at the bottom of the screen where the programs running show up)?

try pressing alt+tab to see if you can access that...

we all have special os's around here.

and that is a pretty common type of format to give examples in. you will probably see a lot of my-command -options /directory/to/your/source/file...

espeak comes with ubuntu by default, so this is what i was trying to get you to do:

whatever your command was && espeak "some stuff"

so if your command was like "ls -R /" which would take a...

in your command you could do something like this:
my -really /long/command && espeak "everything is finished, everybody can go home now! everything is finished, everybody can go home now! everything...

i believe that there is an option to "completely remove" rather than just uninstall. did you get what you wanted to install installed?

I know laptop is written, but this was helpful to me when i bought my netbook:

<shameless plug>i got an eeepc 1005HA btw, and it works...

This may or may not be some overkill, but you could use something like httpfox to monitor the http requests to see if in fact a double post is happening. but to be honest, i would be pretty surprised...

Even if you never made another user on the system, there will always be other user accounts. in particular, there is the concept of root, which is the super user, the one who can do everything. you...

@rackstar

you are awesome

i would suggest making a script if you have a bunch of different folders and complicated exclusions, that way it will be easier in the future to both be repeatable and modifiable. for example this...

you would do something like this
rsync [options] source destination

so if you want to archive your home directory on your external, it should look something like this: (-a is an ok default for...

in my experience, the actual adobe plugin is the only one that works very well, but which one you use is up to you. they don't however, work very well together. i would suggest that you remove all...
