Thanks, the command line didn't put up any warnings.

I too have the computer check for updates daily, so frequency is probably not it. Next time it shows up, I'll probably file a bug report...

Hi. I have received a few updates for the package management system. Before the installation is to start, a message pops up informing me that a bunch of untrusted packages are required. Why would...

A few MB at most. The maximum I get is around 220KB/s.

Thanks for the reply, jwbrase. It's not running right now, and when it does it lasts for no more than about 10-20 seconds. I'll try this the next time I notice it.

Hi dino; thanks for the reply. The amount being downloaded was too much for sync-time or things of that sort. Anyway, do you know how one can find out with more accuracy (than /usr/bin/python) what's...

Occasionally I notice a lot of data being downloaded without any of my input whatsoever and when I check nethogs, it simply says /usr/bin/python.

Ubuntu updates are not set to download...

Yup! It's a cable issue. A borrowed DVI cable has put the issue to rest. Both Ubuntu and ******* displayed correctly when I used that.

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks, but that didn't help. :( Oh, and things are back to being ugly again. As I suspected, and as realzippy seconded, this is likely a purely monitor-based issue. Unlike most other problems of...

I haven't tried changing cables, but the existing ones have been unplugged and plugged back in a few times without avail.

The weirdest thing just happened: For the 105,432nd time I opened Monitor Preferences, the screen went blank for a moment, but when it came back, my monitor was correctly identified, the resolution...

Okay, maybe I'm confusing co-incidence with causation, but it was almost instantaneous. And I think -- though I could be mistaken -- there was no output, it returned to the shell on the next line.

[I thought I would post this here since I didn't want register at some other tech forum for a single post.]

Hi there. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 933 which was running at 1360x768 resolution since...

It's not for this forum but another which uses Simple Machines. (But doesn't mean I have access to run scripts form the signature.)

As for your question, I suppose I wouldn't mind it at the bottom...

Hi,
Disclaimer: I'm not a web-developer, so apart from the basics of HTML, XML and JS, I'm pretty much a blank slate on this topic.

Here's what I want to do: get the information on the currently...

Thanks for your reply, Paul. Figuring that I didn't do Java all that much, I removed Eclipse and have begun finding my way around Geany and Code Blocks. However, I'll keep your tip in mind if I run...

Something like http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#dict.setdefault?

I had installed PyDev, the JEE package and CDT after installing Eclipse from the Lucid repo. Now that I take a look at Eclipse after upgrading to Maverick I don't find any of those perspectives...

Did you try using aptitude instead of apt-get?

Sounds good. If I'm not mistaken, there is a tab to run external commands. I'll look into that, as well. Thank you.

Thanks. I'll check the settings for external logins.

Hi. If you know about the program JDownloader, you might know that it can be configured to change your IP address, if you use a dynamic one. To achieve this, one must provide the program with the...

Well, never mind. I searched about the beta packages and I think they were remnants from the time I tried Unity for a short while -- a really short while. Anyway, using aptitude installed Vbox...

Hi. I want to install the PUEL version of Virtualbox on Lucid. I added their repo, although when I try to install it APT throws some dependency issues up at me.


navneeth@home:~$ sudo apt-get...

Hi. I have Byobu running with three windows, the first of which is the shell. However, when I launch the terminal, it always opens at the third (non-shell) one. Is there a setting somewhere that I...

Wonderful! Thanks a lot.
