    [ubuntu] Re: python file qutestion

    Also, don't forget you can create launchers to include just about any startup option you require. From then it's just a single or double click (epending on your settings) to launch from the icon.

    [ubuntu] Re: Editing my fstab.

    don't use nouser, use -o user or 'user' option in fstab

    other idea: 'adduser username disk' and relogin

    [ubuntu] Re: i am not able to update

    check /etc/environment

    check environment in shell prior to 'apt-get'

    The overlap is just too much to ignore.
