sudo adduser -m username

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_magnifier_enabled --type bool --set false
Well, the package must be built on the correct arch and the control file does have a bearing on the process.
Architecture: all
This means that the package is architecture independent. So it...
There are a number of options, but if you still would like one that is CGit or ViewCVS like, Ubuntu packages are also found in Bazaar branches. You can look at them in Loggerhead via Launcpad. For...
Hard to say exactly what you need to do without looking at your packaging, but generally:
The man page should go in: debian/mypackage.1
Then include a file named debian/mypackage.manpages whose...
This was a known bug that should be fixed in the new release:

I'm about to push the new version to the PPA, but until that update hits...
I wouldn't recommend following that tutorial. It is basically showing you a hack to drop a file somewhere into the user's PATH using a deb. It might be helpful for distributing a random script, but...

Here's a couple screen shots for the curious.
As to why any one would use this over dropbox, my impression is that this is just the first part of a slow roll out of features.

Re: Ubuntu is to Debian as Mint is to Ubuntu
The main difference here that makes the above statement not entirely true is that Ubuntu completely rebuilds the binaries from Debian. So it is not...

So we just had our first Packaging Training session. It was awesome! Lots of people attended and although we didn’t quite manage to hold...

Hi,
You're installing your icon into the gnome icon theme's directory. That's not necessarily a problem as just about every one will have it installed, and most icon themes for GNOME will include...

Haven't posted a shot for awhile. Here's my current Jaunty desktop. I moved away from New Wave for awhile as I'm packaging Shiki-Colors and Gnome-Colors in my PPA...
