I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 without a desktop environment (but this category still seemed most appropriate in the absence of a separate X category.)

So far as I can see, there isn't a good way to do it.
Your best bet would be to compile your own -- the changes would be to command.C and they're fairly obvious -- just changing the references to...
Try looking through the archives of the Ruby Quiz of the Week. Best of all, after you've implemented something, you can look through other people's solutions and the write-up to get lots of ideas...
This might sound silly, but try it again. Might you have mistyped 'install' on the command-line and then written it correctly here? apt-get should say 'invalid operation' when you don't give it a...
My new work machine came with 2 150GB drives configured for RAID1 in the BIOS (of an ASUS P5B deluxe mobo.) They were subsequently divided into 65GB and 85GB partitions. I followed the Fakeraidhowto...
So close... but the Fn key in the lower left corner to screw up my muscle-memory for ctrl sequences and the lack of DVI tank it for me.
It's mentioned in the first post, and once again further up in this thread, but I'll put in another plug for rtorrent. It's fast, lightweight, Linux-native and installs with just 'sudo apt-get...
In edgy, something like this will work (barring potential library dependencies the below might be missing...)
sudo apt-get install qemu build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

You probably have numlockx installed.
sudo apt-get remove numlockx
After much more futzing, I got checkinstall to work, mostly. For reasons unknown, sometimes it bundles the elisp, sometimes it doesn't. And I had to create several directories by hand. And one thing...
I don't think there is any good way to uninstall it -- that's the danger of using 'make install' with things built from source. Unfortunately, checkinstall didn't work with this for me.
After some...
If you have Perl installed, you have a rename command.
rename 's/([^?]*)\?+([^?]*)/$1$2/g' *

I'm guessing you're getting tripped up for want of the GNU make command.

Here's a discussion on delete/backspace in Emacs.
I'm a big Emacs fan, but agree that the default keybindings are bad, and it's relatively hard to learn (but worth it.)
For one attempt to make the keybindings easier, check out Easymacs.
In the UNIX world, such shell scripts normally begin with a "shebang" line:
#!/bin/sh
and the filename gets the suffix '.sh'. Then you can just mark it executable:
As of April the XFT branch in Emacs' CVS works without patching. This is what I did in Dapper for anti-aliased goodness (I'd guess it works in Breezy too, but I haven't tested it.)

Thanks for the HOWTO; Emacs looks great without having to run it in console mode in an xfce4-terminal.
Is there any way to convince apt (& friends) that this is an acceptable alternative to the...
Did you miss this step?
sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl
No clue, sorry. What does
Oops. Disregard previous advice. There's a race condition, and it only works sometimes -- sometimes some of the event* don't get permitted and nostromo_daemon can't run.
I'll look into a smarter...
I can help with the start up a little.

I wanted a persistent display of my CPU and hard drive temperatures on my Gnome panel (I tend to work with one maximized window at a time, so I'm not into gdesklets.) The Breezy universe repository...
After doing all this, hddtemp didn't work anymore. Following these instructions:

I found the right patch for 2.6.14 to fix it.
