I have the same problem only worse. Ubuntu ignores my power settings. So if I set it to Don't suspend or suspend after 10 minutes, it makes no difference. After 5 minutes, the screen goes dark and I...
Thanks, but I should have said, I have no patience for that. It's a weird matrimonial thing. I would happily explain it all to any other person on Earth. But somehow I refuse to admit that I would...
My wife needs some very rudimentary training in using windowed UIs - like what a window is and does, minimizing, moving, resizing, multiple documents open at once, how to use the Application menu,...
I'm marking this as resolved, although I don't know exactly what changed to make things work.
Given that Gutsy wasn't working much better than Hardy, I started over from scratch.
I created a...
Just to be specific, it's VirtualBox 1.6.2.
I'm using Gutsy because I tried Hardy and it was a mess. Mouse was funny, couldn't get Guest Additions to install, and it just kept freezing on me.
...
I have VirtualBox 1.6 installed on Mac 10.4. I created an Ubuntu Gutsy guest. I installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Everything seemed to go fine - no errors, no warnings. The VM runs fine....
I am just starting with Ruby and I'm trying to figure out how to install Mongrel.
All the instructions I find say to install it using gems.
However, I also find lots of warnings that say gems...
Also check out Craig's List. (Maybe even eBay?) In my area CL always has a swarm of people trying to get rid of their old 286s and such.
Another idea is the big pc vendors usually have on-line...

Try your local public school system. The one in my area has a surplus store where they sell old desks, calculators, etc. Mine sells laptops for under $100.
I'll be interested in hearing other responses to this thread. The only one I know of is Glade at http://glade.gnome.org/. It works on gtk. I haven't had the time to learn much about it. On the...
Fair enough, I stand corrected. Yes, this poor schmuck got caught and part of his punishment is to obey the court's orders. My righteous indignation was misplaced. Thanks for explaining it to me.
Absolutely outrageous! The guy who was jailed for downloading Star Wars is being forced to switch from Ubuntu to Windows: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2197392/pirate-forced-windows

@Altarbo, actually my name is Goliath-bang :)
Thanks all for the thoughtful responses.
Ubuntu is so fun I was addicted from the first time I put that Live CD in the drive. Refer to my earlier post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=387517
Great big thanks for Ubuntu!

I am new to open source communities and social norms. Could you help me not make a fool of myself?

cwaldbieser, thanks for the response!
What I figured out is that in the extended regexpr * matches ZERO or more of the previous expression. So [0-9]{4}*.tar.gz matches anything ending in .tar.gz,...
ghostdog74, thanks very much for your suggestion of
ls -ltr *[0-9][a-z][a-z].tar.gz
That works as I would expect, although it's not exactly what I want. That regexpr just matches file names...
That's what I thought, too. So I tried it and it still isn't working for me:
me@pc:~/AAA_My_Stuff/regexp$ ls | grep [0-9]\{4\}*.tar.gz
me@pc:~/AAA_My_Stuff//regexp$ ls | grep...
Go ahead and sue me. I'm continuing to breathe - see if you can stop me and the billions of other breathers!!
