Good to know. Thanks for the followup.

It's a text editor. Find the lines that mention PATH (read my previous comments), and get rid of them. Use the arrow keys to move around the document, and Backspace to delete.

Seriously, how hard...

Well, of course, since you screwed up your $PATH. You'll have to specify the entire path to nano, so

/usr/bin/nano ~/.bashrc

Just to check things out, you might want to try disabling Adobe Flash, and enabling PepperFlash. I've heard reports that PepperFlash can be a little faster. As I understand it, Google actually worked...

Yep. You have both Adobe Flash, and Google's PepperFlash installed in Chrome. Try disabling one of them, and see if that it that fixes things.

To fix sudoers specifically, do


chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
chown root:root /etc/sudoers # this part probably isn't necessary, but it can't hurt


Once sudoers is fixed, you can boot back into...

Interesting, I didn't know this.

But, those are terrible mnemonic devices.
"Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring" would be RSEIUB, not REISUB. I would never be able to remember it that way....

I'd recommend you reboot your computer into recovery mode (or use a LiveCD), and manually change the permissions. /etc/sudoers, by the way should be 440, owned by root:root.

I had to do this once,...

Can you check chrome://plugins and see if you have multiple Flash installed? I wonder if Chrome's PepperFlash is conflicting with the system-installed Adobe Flash.

If I'm reading this right, what this is telling you to do is to save an xls to html, then use sed to convert that html file to a tsv file with only the first two columns.

What I don't understand...

Actually, since writing my last comment, I checked the post detailing the change. They said that they didn't grandfather in old accounts because they've had some sleeper spam accounts. It sort of...

No, you need to edit those files. If you're stuck in a command-line, try using nano, so

nano ~/.bashrc
Look for a line that changes PATH, and delete it (or at least, fix it).

I'm not on 10.10; I'm on 12.10. In fact, I rarely ever come on Ubuntu Forums, and since I was last on here, they made it impossible to edit your profile if you've made less than 25 posts, so I can't...

The file you're looking for is /etc/fstab. Since you don't provide any additional info, I can't help you any further with what should go in there.

I think this is the answer. Have you checked ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile for any lines that set $PATH? They would start with PATH=... or export PATH=...

Please do this before you go to the trouble of...

If you want a full-featured desktop environment that you won't have to add a lot of stuff to, and it will basically just work, consider XFCE. I used it for a long time. It looks and feels a lot like...

Yeah, I'm going to agree with this. If you don't want anything on the Desktop, the easiest thing is to move them out of the ~/Desktop folder. If you're not showing anything there, it doesn't make...

I use http://checkip.dyndns.com/. In my experience, it tends to be faster than ifconfig.me. There are tons of places to check this.
If you have w3m installed, you could do
w3m -dump...

I had this same problem. Turns out the problem was inotify. Found my solution here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/247461/how-do-i-fix-a-cant-access-dropbox-folder-error

I was using the xattr pecl extension in 12.04 (in fact, I think since 10.04) without problem. Not surprisingly, I had to reinstall it after upgrading to 12.10 because of the new version of PHP.

That wouldn't necessarily fix special characters in a filename, and would only work if you give the absolute path.

So here's my take on it:


#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f "$1" ]
then
echo "$1...

I just found a successful, fairly simple way to use Adobe Digital Editions under wine and open acsm files.

First, manually download the setup.exe from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403051.html

This had been driving me crazy. I had the same motd I had when I upgraded. I didn't realize that I also had another one above it.

It looks like during the upgrade /etc/motd.tail was moved to...

I'd like to renew this question, because I have the same problem. The setgid bit on directories on HFS+ partitions seem to be ignored on Linux (at least on Ubuntu).

I'd like to file a bug, but I'm...

I'm having, I think, the same problem. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out the magic number for my MTU.

It defaults to 1500.
Here's a couple outputs from my pings to my router:
