Weekly Ubuntu Development...

I realized I never followed up with this thread. In the end, I ended up using dclock. I created a small script that kills any running instance of dclock,launches dclock, and then makes it fullscreen....

Here is a Perl solution to the problem. The algorithm is nearly identical to the one on Wikipedia.



#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my($string1,$string2);
if($#ARGV==1) {

These instructions worked for me (http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/client-adapters/nfiniti-wireless-n-ultra-compact-usb-20-adapter-wli-uc-gn/)

To clear something up, we are experimenting with posting Interviews on the Fridge. Previously, they were posted on various blogs that are syndicated on the Planet. Mackenzie's interview was part of...

Start by choosing a nick that you want to use. You can change your nick by doing '/nick NEWNICK'. Once you have a nick (that isn't already registered), you can register it by doing '/msg nickserv...

To quote the announcement:


The burden of creating new icons falls on users who decide to launch production servers running the Launchpad code. There is no reason for the Launchpad developers to...

Yes. The Mozilla Team has some excellent documentation on the wiki about how to package Firefox extensions.

As a note, this was mentioned in the release notes for Jaunty.

To quote,



The release notes contain important pieces of information that the developers want to ensure users are aware of...

I would like to say Congratulations to all of the new forum staff. I am especially thrilled to see that several members of the Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team have been chosen. Keep up the great work...

First, I would suggest you read this. It explains the process of getting a new package added to the repositories.

The first thing I would suggest you do is search Launchpad to see if there are any...

I had this same problem a while ago. I wanted to automate the sending of emails. In the end, I ended up configuring mutt to work with my gmail account. Mutt is a full CLI email client. However, it...

Thanks Rocket2DMn! This is a really complete explanation about reporting bugs on Launchpad. I know you mentioned this in your post, but I would like to stress the importance of following up with your...

Here is a small perl script that should do what you want.


#!/usr/bin/perl
#Script Name: howLong.pl
#Author: Nathan Handler <nhandler@ubuntu.com>

use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Manip;

Another email client that you can try is Claws Mail. I personally do not use it, but I know many Ubuntu users who love it. It also supports plugins and themes.

Claws Mail (claws-mail) is in the...

Thanks a lot! I haven't really tried xclock in the past. It looks like this should do what I want. I just need to find a way to make it look better when I make it fullscreen. Thanks again.

This discussion should really be moved to REVU. You will need to upload it to REVU at some point (if you want to have it added to the repositories), so you might as well do it now. It will also make...
