Ah, thanks. So, if you (e.g.) did `void* ptr = malloc(1024*1024*1024); // 1 GiB`, then that wouldn't show up in RES, but then if I did `memset(ptr, 0, 1024*1024*1024); // access memory` then it would...

Hello everyone!
Recently I acquired a headless box meant for solely for number crunching and web hosting. As such the first thing I did was install 12.04 server. Being a headless crunching...
Well, I borrowed a proper Ubuntu install from a friend, and that Startup Disk Creator's finished product installed without problem. Moral: Don't use PenDriveLinux or Ubuntu in a virtual box to create...
Great. I tried making the live disc in an Ubuntu VM, and that seemed to work, but when I booted the server, it said "bootable medium not found".
And now Windows can't format the flash drive. :/

Hey everybody. I've recently gotten my hands on a standard consumer desktop ($100 ASUS micro ATX mobo, i5-2500K) which I will be using as a server (i.e. headless, no screen/keyboard etc.).
As my...
Yes, but that means every time I boot I have to plug in a keyboard and screen and select "Run live disk" from the initial menu. It should be able to boot without me needing to interfere.
@C.S....
For reasons that aren't relevant, I have a box which needs to be turned into a web server but doesn't have a hard drive. "Okay, we'll just run it off the live disk." (A flash drive, to be clear.) So...

That's about gcc specifically, but it's also good for compiling and linking in general. (And your case is using g++, which is basically the same as...
A wonderful point, however I guess we have different definitions of "real world". All the truly great programmers (you might say "software engineers" or "hackers", the ESR meaning) fall into the...
It's less any particular field of mathematics and more the logic, as Dave said. I agree that computer science and programming are two different things -- however there we diverge.
I'd say...

You might consider moving this to the Compiling and Packaging forum.
The error had nothing to do with the subprocess call. He constructs the Window, and then tries to change one of its attributes, which is not allowed. Put another way, you can only set the attribute...
I thought so!
But then, I had also thought I had checked all the parentheses pairs (gedit has a nice paren-highlight tool). I guess not! :p
Thanks! [/stupid]
Gah...
This is probably one of things with a missing parenthesis or some sort of whitespace error but... I can't find it.
I'm using gedit with tabs set to 5 spaces, and using actual spaces...
I have relatively limited experience with this sort of admin stuff on Linux, but I have a few ideas.
A:
1) Put the VM folder in /home, i.e. "/home/VirtualBox<whatever name>"
2) For each user to...
I've never used Evolution, but it's a decent bet the data's stored in a home folder named .evolution. Select "hidden files" in Nautilus, or do "ls -a" in your home folder. I don't know about VM, but...
An alternative to booting into recovery mode is hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or any F up to F6) which should bring you to an actual shell (as opposed to a terminal mimicking a shell in Gnome/Unity). There...
Like I said, it's been like this for a couple of weeks, meaning before 12.04 was officially released; I initially installed the Alpha, and what I'm running now is still likely mostly beta-level...
Thanks for the tip, but... theory rarely translates to practice :p

Huh. My laptop couldn't run 64bit USB live discs, but once I got my hands on a DVD everything installed/works just fine.

For what it's worth, when I tried to put 10.04 on my laptop (i3-2350M) I got similar resolution limiting, Compiz didn't work right... then it occurred to me that 10.04 predated SB by at least a year....
Hey guys.
I'm a new Python (3.2.2) coder, and I have some questions.
Here are the first two.
1) How exactly do breaks and continues interact with try/except statements and a containing while...
Actually, what I meant but didn't say was that the link above helped solve my problems. The full path is among the discoveries I made there. I did run a few test cases and those appeared to work...
