But ultimately I'd just like to know where the default .desktop file is for the firefox icon in the panel (before a file is created under .gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers)

Thanks for the replies. No luck here yet. OK here's my objective: After booting a live CD of Lucid, I want to run a script that will change the command property of the firefox launcher icon in the...

I just wanted to be sure that all the apt-get installs (that currently work) won't break after the EOL date, which sounds like the case, right?

I ask since I use the non-persistent liveUSB version...

Does this mean that if I use apt-get to install a software application today (like flashplugin-nonfree) that apt-get may not work to install it after April 2012 when 10.10 is desupported?

I've got a PC incompatible with Lucid so installing Maverick to it.

What does it mean that Maverick will be supported with security updates until April 2012?

Is there an iptables command that will simply forward all packets to their destination in the...
