Nobody? :(

Hi Guys,

Have a laptop where the card reader seems to be causing the boot to fail when I boot from a live cd. I would ideally just disable the card reader in the BIOS, but this isn't an option...

Awesome thanks :)

Forgot to say, happy to do this either in shell or Python, whichever is easiest/best :)

Hey Guys :)

I've got some HTML source that contains elements for a drop-down selection box on a page.

Each selectable option is delimited in the following fashion:


<option>This is Option...

Yep, was all connected to the 'net at the time - have a new problem now, the damn Ethernet adaptor's stopped working :(

I'll solve that first and then come back to this one, thanks for the tips...

I had a similar problem with a Marvell Yukon ethernet adaptor, managed to get it working for a while using the drivers from here:

Hi Guys,

I've changed the settings for the repositories (in the updates tab shown above) and reloaded everything, but when I search for 'backport' there's nothing in the list.

Any ideas on...

Anybody else got any thoughts on this?

Nope, still crashes unless I open it with root priv's.

Any other ideas?

If I try to launch aMSN from the graphical launcher in the menu it fails, with no error messages.

If I try to launch it from a normal terminal I get the following error:


Error in startup...

Awesome, worked a treat - thanks :)

More for my own benefit (being an idiot) than for anybody else's, the command line instruction to make the file executable by everybody is:


chmod a+x...

Morning All,

Anybody know how I force Ubuntu to sync the time with the nntp server it's set up to sync with?

I'm running Ubuntu within VMWare Workstation, suspending the VM image obviously...

Not exactly one line, but meh <shrugs>.....

I'm guessing that's not good.....

Hey Guys,

Slight problem.

Here's the code:



morseTable = []

Gotcha.....

So, if I use:


sortedCharacters = sorted(characters)

I should be ok :)

Hi Guys,

Another Python problem I'm afraid :)

Have the following code:



for word in listIn:
characters = []

Got it now:



import sys

def sayHello():
"""Say hello to me.

Please."""

Ok, so I now know that the command line should be:


python hello.py "robert"

But It still doesn't work:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "hello.py", line 9, in ?

Hi Guys,

I've got a really noddy Python question I'm afraid, but I'm stuck and banging my head against the desk isn't helping :(

Here's my code:



def sayHello(name):
"""Say hello to...
