I am dual-booting Ubuntu and OS X on my mac.

I removed rEFIt because on another computer my mom nearly reformatted the hard drive by choosing the Windows recovery partition in GRUB (I was already...

Thanks for pointing me there, mastablasta. I guess I assumed that the GRUB install settings would be somehow tied to the partition editor, <facepalm>.

I installed GRUB onto the 3rd partition (ext4...

How do I install GRUB onto the root partition using the alternate installer? I'm trying to do a net install of 64 bit 10.04 LTS on a mac

I need GRUB on the root partition because the mac uses EFI...

Yes, because I'm to lazy to assign shortcuts to my favorite programs!

Would you believe me if I told you the ultimate cheat for StarCraft is Alt+F4?

Personally, I recommend dual booting with windows because there's less risk (I think). I have seen too many threads about failed Wubi installations.

Have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras (or something like that) package? I think that package has flash in it. You might also need to install openjdk (java) from the repositories.

That...

Solved!
Thanks, worked perfectly. Just had to logout and login again for changes to take effect.

Thanks a lot!

Whenever I install a game, then click it in the menu, it says it cannot find the file. I have to manually change the menu item's location from gamename to /usr/games/gamename.

Does anyone know how...

me@ubuntu-laptop:~$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl


Yes! Thanks! It worked. I never realized how simple the solution could be!

Thanks again.:KS

I'll try it out. I'll back up the /usr/local/bin folder and then delete the original. If it works, I'll post the output of 'which perl'. If it doesn't, I'll can just restore the backup and then think...

By the way, the /usr/local/bin directory is empty except for perl files. There are no other files there that belong to different software. Does that mean that I can delete the contents of...

Here's how I installed the second perl:

sudo cpan
install B
(got an error message saying I should use 'force install B')
force install B
The line in bold is what caused it to install a second...

might not be related but here's the smallest infinite loop in perl that actually prints something out:

perl -e 'while(1){print '0'}'

Break the task down into steps
write code for each step, no matter how crude
debug it
rewrite the crude code into a professional program
debug it
leave it on your HD to collect dust

Nice idea, hiding text as white letters. Although it defeats the purpose of using the sig to tell people something at a glance

as of now, 1 second bump!

do I win?

There is a thread killer who is so good he even kills his own threads. How? By creating them!

Just because you have a 64-bit capable computer doesn't mean you should install Ubuntu 64-bit. It could cause problems

Another way is to right-click and choose "Rename"

Hi,

I recently reinstalled the B module for perl. Now I found out it didn't just do that, it installed a whole new copy of perl into /usr/local/bin/perl. When I type 'which perl' at the terminal,...

I don't know about you, but some people prefer to do a fresh install.

I can't say much else since this is just my second install of Ubuntu
Jaunty -> Lucid

rofl!

I did something similar to that once. About a year ago, I was living in the school dormitory. The school has an encrypted network. I took a screenshot of the desktop and edited it in paint...

Hi.

I know that you have to have a server first but that's about it. I have ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE of this topic.

But what I do know is that I'm itching to learn how to use perl cgi scripts.

lol

I think it's the other way 'round: Ubuntu is very user friendly, but they're as incompatible with Ubuntu as Ubuntu is to an mp3 player (although I think that a determined hacker could do it).
