Hi guys,

1) Refer to the 'mount --help' options and map the options to the ones in your /etc/mtab file

2) This depends on who is running it. If you're gonna put the script in the user's crontab (crontab...

Ugh... so apparently users have to manually configure /etc/network/interfaces (ref: ifdown man page)

This fixed it:

Hi guys,

Can someone please explain to me why none of the linux networking commands work for me on Linux Mint 9 (Ubuntu 10.04)?

Oh wow... that's awesome! Thanks!

Also you should know that the Ubuntu build of ffmpeg is totally broken. I wrote a nautilus script to rip the audio from mp4 files and save them to mp3 and it worked great on Fedora but blew up on...

I'll do my best to make sense on this jumbled mess of a comment :).

Open the terminal and run the command:

There should be a line that says NTFS: (something like this)

Sorry I mis-understood the requirement.

I'm fairly new to "scripting" (I'm coming from the OOP world) and I don't know if bash supports a native key/value pairs construct (IDictionary or similar...

Samba supports logon scripts, roaming profiles, and all that. At least it does when used as a PDC. I don't have much experience using samba as a member server on a windows domain so I can't say for...

I'm not sure if I totally understand the requirement but here's some quick code I wrote to test this.

It assumes an xml document: theme_list.xml

Exactly. I have had to do this for countless friends and relatives. Find the tiny reset button on the back and use a pinhead to hold it down for 30 seconds or so. That resets it to default and then...

NFS is only for Unix-to-Unix talk; Windows 7 can only talk to NFS if you have the Ultimate Enterprise license.

Whoa boy... ugh... apparantly you can not initialize an array in bash like this:

I must have mis-read the doc... initializing with ( ) fixed it.

Ok, I'm about to give up on this because I just can't figure out what the f@$k is going on here.

I have a zenity checklist here:

I personally love Linux Mint. I've been running Linux Mint 9 now for quite a while and it hasn't broken my installation yet (the way Ubuntu does after every software update).

Nah, go find a copy of TinyXP which will install a hacker version of XP called MicroXP which will install on less than 100 MB and use roughly 8MB of RAM while idle. Best of all, its free (but it...
