Could it have just been a random firefox crash? Does is crash again when you try it again? If so, what version of firefox?

Are you the person who searched for "a"? It certainly might crash firefox if you tried to load such a huge results list.

Edit: if not, what did you search for that crashed it?



The tarballs...

I'd really like to know what's going on, but you seem to be the only person it's happening to, and I frankly don't have any clue why.

I've tried it in firefox 3.0.1, so I don't think that's the...

Oh, yes. It uses those, if you're referring to the files in /var/lib/apt/lists.



It almost does, it comes _so frustratingly close_ to being there as one command.

That's definately possible. I haven't tried accessing it through a proxy at all. When download?package=packagename is hit, it then downloads / generates the package and serves it back - download...

Odd, I don't have any 404's in my logs. What browser are you using, and what packages are you searching for?

Edit: I found the 404s... apt-proxy - looks like it's sending you the download link...

Branch from launchpad, bzr branch lp:pd or something like that. I'm not sure about setting up cherrypy to run behind apache. There are install instructions, the funkiest thing you have to do is add a...

Hey everyone, I'm not entirely sure if this is the best place to stick this semi-announcement, but since the actual announcement forum is locked, and it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else, I guess...

Yeah, I know you from twitter. I haven't been updating much recently as I've been trying to get some funding for projects, and it's been sucking up a lot of time.

The shell variable $PATH contains all of what could be considered "keywords" in this sense. At a terminal,



echo $PATH


will give you a list of directories that programs that are...

By keyword, do you mean any command that you can enter in the terminal?

Keywords: ls man wget bash ssh apropos apt-get

Muncie, indeed. Hello Indiana team, nice to meet you and all that.

Does this help? You can check if a certain argument is a certain string with strcmp(), if I remember correctly.

Fluxbox and emacs.

I second the recommendation of ABS (link is in my sig). Also, man bash once you've settled into the syntax a bit.

You may find this an enlightening read. Also this, which is python-specific, but is still a decent overview of the issues you deal with with floating point numbers.

ubuntu is great
but sometimes a little odd
learning never ends

Aptitude is a bit smarter about it. Granted, I've never had much of a problem with apt-gets dependency resolution, but I've heard some horror stories.

nevermind

Alright, I know you said not to ask, but if you're looking to get into programming as a hobby at the moment (and perhaps later professionally), why C++? And why do you hate python? Inquiring minds...

Q and not U, Dead Kennedys, Modest Mouse, and Melt Banana mix.

Can I ask why you want to learn C++ specifically? I mean, I see you don't like python - but why C++? Why not C, Ruby, Lisp?

My advice would be to find an open source project that you use a lot, or that you really like, and start reading the code for it. Figure out how it's organized, and follow the development mailing...

Yes, that's very true - it's not nearly enough for everyone. I was just commenting on my experience, which was one of getting really frustrated getting samba shares to work flawlessly.



It's...

I use kubuntu, and konquorer tends to detect and handle samba shares perfectly fine. On the other hand, every time I've set up samba shares by hand, it's been a royal pain.
