sudo chown -hR $USER disk

replacing "disk" with what your disk shows as. I think that'll work if it's ext3/ext4. Not sure about Windows filesystems, they're a bit of a pain with...

Disconnect the machine from the network (pull the ethernet cable out of the computer, or change your wireless settings to not automatically connect to any networks). Then, get rid of the files,...

This previously worked fine, and I don't know what happened. I am still able to use ssh to connect to my other computer via the command line. If I use Places > Connect to Server, I get an error,...

I am running Ubuntu on two computers. One is happy as a clam. The other is...well, having some problems, and I am not sure what I ought to be doing right now to deal with this.

A couple of days...

Thanks. :D

I like the way I have Kate (the text editor) set up on this computer. I want my settings, mostly my color scheme, on another computer. How can I do this?

Nevermind. Either I'll figure this out on my own, or I won't...

edited before anybody replied. ):P

If you want to keep your bookmarks and such in Firefox, you could try backing up your Firefox profile to bring it with you (see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information ).

:lolflag:

It works now. Thank you. I actually typed what was on the other computer on this one, rather than copy/pasting it because that computer had no internet connection. The typo was in the...

I set up my other computer to have a static IP just last week or so. It worked fine. Last night I decided to upgrade that computer to Ubuntu 9.10 and upgrading was a fiasco, but after failing to...

Crunchbang is beautiful! My dad's asleep and I don't think he'd like it if I woke him up to tell him I've got the perfect Linux, but it's so tempting. It's like Ubuntu, but prettier, and probably...

I'll suggest Quicken Online to him. :D

Crunchbang looks really interesting. I'm downloading that now.


I know. I think my dad's computer might seem more capable when it's not running...

My dad has an old-ish computer with Windows XP that's freakishly, mind-numbingly, headdeskingingly slow. Click on something, get up to make a cup of tea, and when you return it's still not loaded.

It works now. Even after I tried it with the Open DNS ones, it still didn't work, and I realized I had a typo in the word nameserver. Thank you for your help. Yay!

I am able to ping my router, but I can't ping the internet.

I don't know what the name of my router is, I just ping it by its address. I think I must have resolv.conf set up wrong, but I don't...

Sorry I didn't elaborate more. I tried using network manager. I thought I couldn't get it working again after that (when I posted), but I was able to get a connection after that, just not static....

I wanted to set it up so that one of my computers has a static IP, so that I can forward a port to it. I don't know what I did wrong, but now I can't even get it back to the way it was and can't get...

Thanks. :D

And I think I found out part of the answer to my second question, which is that it is using the key. I don't know why I don't have to keep putting in my passphrase though, or what...

I'd like to use SSH to transfer files to another computer. I am able to log into the other computer using it. I set up the public/private key as well, and changed the port that I use. All is well in...

It's an old DOS game that you can download (google to find a download site) and run with DOSbox. DOSbox is a DOS emulator that you can get through add/remove applications in Ubuntu.

I'm trying the 9.10 live CD and it seems...like it might work. :confused:

I can't log out and back in while using the live CD, so I can't change the resolution, although it seems like a good thing...

Ok, thanks. I'm downloading 9.10 and I'll give it a try.

I don't know. How do I find that out?
