Hi, I'm using plain unity on ubuntu 16.04.

I want to replace the standard printscreen / alt-printscreen (window) to use shutter.

I created both keyboard shortcuts and assigned "shutter -f" to...

SORRY:

I forgot to configure the email in the git repository and that was making the git commit fail after running APT.

Funny thing is that I didn't follow my own instructions regarding that at...

I've been using etckeeper for about 5 years to keep track of changes I make to config files (and to detect strange changes). I first used mercurial and, in the last year, I started using git for new...

Hi, I have a brand new ZaReason Zini 1550 with 2 SSD drives.

I installed stock Ubuntu 14.04.3 (it came with 15.04 regardelss I had asked for 14.04)

It has 16Gb of RAM and I have one 16Gb swap...

Hi,

I normally use the command line, however, for a public demonstration, I need a GUI based tool (can be a wrapper for sha512sum) that allows me to check a CD ROM loaded in the tray (not an .iso...

Mmmhhhh this makes me wonder.... maybe the problem arises whenever you install a new kernel. Maybe the initramfs kind of comes preconfigured and it is generated ignoring these settings.

Hi,

in my old PC I'm still using Oneiric.

I have a startup script that, when I log in (using xdg and unity) invokes keychain.

Hi,

.profile and .bash_rc are run if I start a shell, but not when I log in...

but ~/.profile is executed when you start a shell (e.g. when you launch a terminal).

If I start a plain unity session, ~/.profile is not run (at least using unity under precise).

However, I am most certain (though not 100% sure) there was a 'Restart' option there just after I installed it.

Regards.

BUMP...
