    Re: Theme for Google Chrome

    Correct. Google Chrome from the standard install package google-chrome-unstable

    I haven't seen a package for chromium or I'd give that a go. I'm too grumpy to install from source right now. I...

    Theme for Google Chrome

    Re: Cannot connect to wifi

    There are a bunch of things I would check. First open a terminal and type iwconfig and see what info that gives you. Try to determine if you are connecting to the AP at all. I've had similar...

    [ubuntu] Re: how to undo a command

    First, the behavior you describe is not how it should function. If the directory existed, and it should by default, it would not have been replaced by that file with that command. The file simply...

    [ubuntu] Re: Bootup Trouble

    Just a wild guess at it here. First I believe you should be able to use the startx command as your regular user without sudo. Asside from that it looks like permission issues to me. Try creating a...

    [SOLVED] Re: Cron and Unison Script

    Yes that is my point. When you do that you are executing the script with your environment not the cron environment. They are not the same. In your term if you do echo $PATH you will see your path....

    Poll: Re: Will you give Windows 7 a chance?

    I have tried it on my work PC as I am forced to use Win there. In the 3 months I have been using it I have had to reinstall it twice and this week it managed to break itself again. It's a simple...
  9. [all variants] Re: Connecting two computers with twisted pair cable

    First I hope you mean that your twisted pair is a crossover with that because they are definitely not the same thing. Since you abandoned that though on to the transfer type:

    [SOLVED] Re: Cron and Unison Script

    Couple of ideas for you. I'm not sure why it fails but I have seen this sort of thing before. Do you have a local MTA set up so cron can mail you errors? This may help figure it out.

  12. [ubuntu] Re: Fileshare and remote access linux to windows

    For remote access I suggest you look into vnc. You can run the tightvnc server/client for free and terminal server client works well connecting to it once you install the client on the linux box. ...

    [SOLVED] Re: Where are icons stored for a launcher?

    I don't think the above edit capture was very clear. If you want the actual filesystem location look in /usr/share/pixmaps. If you are using KDE try under /usr/share/icons
  15. [ubuntu] Re: How to make ubuntu system portable and make backups?

    Not sure. It makes an ISO by default. I'm not sure if it has an option to go to an HDD. I usually just burn the ISO to a DVD and run it from my external DVD drive. I just like it because it is a...
  16. [all variants] Re: Acer Aspire one, how well does it run with ubuntu?

    They all seem pretty comparable with the major difference being the processor. They have gone up a notch on the internals which just makes them a bit faster. I will add that I upgraded my ram to 2G...
  17. [ubuntu] Re: Disable password requirement for switching users

    I don't think that is likely to be possible as it goes against all things secure. If you shut down your PC between sessions though you might consider blanking the passwords and only setting a boot...

    Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?

    I've been using Linux since 1995. Back then it took a lot of work to get some things to function. Now it just works. I only use Windows when forced to at work and I support my Wife's PC for her...

    [ubuntu] Re: Firestarter to run when starting Ubuntu

    I do this on my PC. I like to see it running so I can catch the access attempts. There is a little more to it though. If you just add the sudo command it still wants a password to open. Here is...
  22. [ubuntu] Re: Disable password requirement for switching users

    You could always manually set the password in the /etc/shadow file to "U6aMy0wojraho". That is the hash for a blank password.

    Then you should be able to just smack return to log in.
