Thanks for trying critin, but in my OP I linked to another post of mine that say, "It mustn't be browser dependent (like DownThemAll) as I like to restart my browser without affecting my download...

Seems this thread should be marked as solved?

Anyways, just wanted to say that I too have gotten this combination of lsyncd and rsync to do instant backups of my data to another computer and it's...

Hi minerbog. You would use both. Meaning, you would use lsyncd to run at startup, and lsyncd would be set to use rsync when it detected changes in any of the folders you asked it to monitor.

I've...

Wow, I can't believe it's been nearly 4 years since I originally started this thread. I also can't believe that there's still no solution.

I often read posts where people complain that Ubuntu...

Just thought I'd update my own thread to say that I'm still in the same boat as when I originally posted.

I'm still after the "why", and especially still looking for a solution.

Hi. I'm going to chime in here, but I'm not sure it'll be particularly useful.

I too am experiencing shutdown problems, and they've only started since I started to run rsyncs. Occasionally I'll...

I'd like to add to the mix if I may? My reason for downgrading is only this - I absolutely positively need Gmail available offline.

I live in Myanmar (Burma) where the Internet is on and off all...

Thx for your reply ubun2warrior, but my issue isn't finding a download manager that can resume, it's finding one that can resume under certain circumstances. Have another read of this topic and the...

You've gotta think past just the setup. Remember their needs and their ongoing experience. Consider the look, the feel, the day to day usage, the familiarity, etc.

Regarding setup, it's much the...

10.10 gets my vote too. Seeing how it's your parents I'd hold off 11.04 until a couple of months after it's been released. That way, if you have any problems, you're more likely to find answers on...

After having to re-download about another 2gb since my last post I thought I'd give this a bump hoping someone can shed some light on the topic.

I have tried so many download managers it ain't funny, but there's one thing they all don't seem to know how to do well, and that's resume problematic downloads.

I have used both fast and slow...

YES!! YES!! YES!! I couldn't agree more. The download manager options are many, but none of them are complete, or kept up to date, or without bugs (like fatrat).

Back in 2008 I wrote a post with a...

This is a blend of 2 wallpapers. I call it Stormy Ubuntu.

Thanks David, much appreciated. However could you explain something to me please? I already backup locally to an external HDD with is NTFS formatted. Why would I not be able to do what seems to be...

I would like assistance backing up from my Ubuntu computer to my Windows computer. In this post I found out how to navigate the directories of my Windows computer. I thought that I'd be able to...

That's done it. Thanks marshmallow1304.

Keep newbies in mind when writing replies as posts can and will be viewed by many people over time.

So with that said, please tell me how I would add the drives of the upstairs computer to my...

I'm in Ubuntu and want to navigate the directories of a Windows box upstairs. I can see it and navigate around the shared folders using the file browser (the address bar shows...

It's just over 18 months since the original post and I've still not found a solution so I thought I'd give it another little bump. If you have any suggestions (please read the first post before...

I added to my "~/.bashrc" file as instructed and also took your advice in method 2 and added "export DISPLAY=:0.0" to the beginning of my cron command and it has worked perfectly. Again, a BIG...

My friend, you've been incredibly helpful. That's the sort of assistance us newbies are looking for and need. Exemplary indeed. Thank you most sincerely.

What does that even mean? Please explain.


It's comments like that that lead to various bloggers to write things like "We provide horrendous support for newcomers and are sometimes downright...
