I've installed MongoDB and I want init to start the database with the --journal flag. I'm quite rusty on how init works, but I know it involves the /etc/init and /etc/rc directories.
I've found...
I'm using "Ubuntu Classic" mode on Ubuntu 11.04. With previous Ubuntu releases I could rearrange the Window List (some may call it the "task bar") by clicking a window and dragging it, but now this...
If Geany is minimized then the Geany icon is still in the launcher, but clicking on it opens a new Geany instance instead of the opening the already minimized window. Also, when Geany is minimized...
I've been using Unity since yesterday but I'm starting to see some unforgivable problems which will postpone my support.
For example, I use the "Geany" IDE for programming, but if you minimize...
I know there are a variety of language capable of doing the calculations (I would use python probably), I wondered if there is any existing code for calculating these things? The math looks...
In Stellarium (http://www.stellarium.org/) or KStars (though I haven't used KStars) you can view real time astronomical data about the Sun and Moon. IE, you can view the altitude and angles of the...
It appears that .bashrc is for bash, while .gnomerc is for gnome.
I didn't know about .gnomerc, but when setting my env var in .gnomerc it will work from the gnome desktop.
Although I did have...
I've installed python2.7 and I want all those convenient python libs I've installed from the repos to work with python2.7, but the libs in the repos get installed to python2.6.
No problem, I'll...
I'm able to start jackd from the shell and also using qjackdctl. In order to start jackd there must be no other applications "using" sound. If I try to start jackd while watching a youtube video...
After an Ubuntu upgrade, and installing sun-java Tomcat6 will no longer start. When I attempt to start Tomcat6 with "sudo service tomcat6 start" it reports on the right side of the screen [failed] ....
Thanks, but I'm more interested in env vars in general rather than python specific details.
Lets say I set a PYTHONPATH in .pam_environment (which I have done in the past). My shells don't show...
To my knowledge a class is just a name space really(?). That's beside the point though.
Try calling a.status() and you'll get an error saying that 0 arguments were expect and 1 given. I think...
First, I will point out that I have read this Ubuntu documentation on Environmental Variables: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables However, I still have a few questions.

You need to set your BIOS to boot from the CD (or USB stick, if your using a live USB stick). To access your BIOS you usually press delete, F2, F12, or some other key as the computer is first...
Go to synaptic and try to reinstall python2.6, hopefully the original debian packages are still hanging around and you can reinstall without an internet connection? Actually, python2.6 is probably...
I am able to import numpy from /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/, but the copy residing at /usr/share/pyshared is incomplete and cannot be imported because the multiarray.so file is not present.

I have Ubuntu on a family computer. Other members of my family don't like entering the password to login. I am using Ubuntu 9.10.
First, I would like to enable auto-login on boot for the family...
I find vim* more convenient then using a mouse/GUI in many situations, and sometimes a GUI isn't available.
I installed the full vim package, and it's working as I expected now. I'm still...
There are lots of things more difficult than working with Vi. Saying "I don't know" is better than "just use something else;" and saying nothing is better than "I don't know."
I cannot backspace. When I'm backspacing and hit column 1 I cannot go further. I cannot erase line feeds.
I'm having the same problem.
It must have been something to do with that compatibility mode. "set nocompatible" did the trick and placing it in $HOME/.vimrc did the trick. It now behaves as I expect vi should.
Thanks.
I also notice that I cannot turn on scroll lock, caps lock, and num lock all at the same time. Is this normal?
Also, the arrow keys do not work, but produce A B C and D characters. Again, in...
