@Braiam I don't honsity care about bugs. I did use Ubuntu 12.04 A 2 when it did first come out and the final one though few months ago like 3 for 13.10 with gnome.
@Braiam I am still upset about they remove dodge windows from unity.

@searchfgold6789 I would suggest to un-delete that meta question.. Something skipped your mind which is fine... Tomorrow, someone else might have the same doubt... We would be able to dupe-close that against this one... ;-)
I'd like to change org.compiz.profiles.unity.plugins.core -> hsize and -> vsize from command line.
I thought I could use
gsettings set org.compiz.profiles.unity.plugins.core vsize 4
but then I've got an error message:
No such schema 'org.compiz.profiles.unity.plugins.core'
Is it possible...
I was reading about how to get multiple workspaces in the mutter version of Unity, however since Compiz is replacing Mutter how do I go about adding and removing workspaces in Compiz version of Unity?
It is not clear what we should do about link-only answers. (In my eyes, anything like this would definitely be a link-only answer.)
We have the option to flag it as "Not an Answer", or "Very Low Quality", but it is both of those. How should we flag it? Or does it matter?

yes correct. mind you: gvfs-move is similar to the traditional mv utility, but using gvfs locations instead of local files: for example you can use something like smb://server/resource/file.txt as location.

I want two compare one file with other files in the same directory.
file1.txt contains:
move 34#123#
get 11#278
put 33#29#567#23
file1.txt should compare with the 1.txt and 2.txt.
1.txt contains:
move 11

I need the result as:

@AvinashRaj Hi - I know you love to answer questions - that's brilliant. Since you are extremely knowledgeable about the site, any chance when you see duff questions like that, you can flag the duplicate/tidy the title etc etc?
@fossfreedom Hi foss! Can be this Q unlocked since I don't think is still necessary to be locked (I promisse that I will not edit it anymore)? The reason is: it's a good Q, and people can't vote it up.
The question says it all. Is it possible to contact the mods privately (thus not in public chat nor in meta)?
Are self-made chatrooms are private? Is there a general email like mods@askubuntu.com?
@Danatela Hi!! Do you remember linking me to answer you had given once that told how to run a script at run level? Can you post that link again now? I am trying to help this questioner of this askubuntu.com/questions/451955/… and it will be useful ....
@Pramod no, not true, it will only not ask for a password for the specific user. And the crontab files are simple text files that are readable by everybody, having a password there is very insecure.
@Pramod Then create a different user and run the crontab as that user. Or root. Just set up the passwordless ssh for that user only. This kind of thing really should be asked on one of the main sites. Server Fault or Unix & Linux or even Ask Ubuntu (assuming that your server is running Ubuntu)
though the 14.04 install on an acer e1 was the -worst- ever. It failed to pick up the amd 5???? graph card (too new :( ) so I have to do a lot of post-install editing
weird thing is... the installation claimed to do its thing but it never went passed creating a xorg file for my card. result was an -empty- /home/wim/ That was pretty weird
my aspire 7750g was a breeeeeeeze installing :) but is has an older amd 6650m card
(the E1 is now at my moms; I got fed up with the system after I got it working) Ill be getting me a new notebook end of the month :)
even a beginner can google ;-) but if the vid.card is very new you might need to make guesses. and the beter you understand the problem the better the guesses ;-)
@Rinzwind Thanks :) I am not 100% sure that is the right config file but it is the only general one I can find in the Ubuntu sources. Debian has a different one at /usr/src/linux/.config but I can't find it on Ubuntu so I guess that must be the right one.
hey all, n00b question -- is there a way a .conf file can load an environment variable? I'm trying to set a snort.conf variable to the value of an environment variable but can't get the referencing right. If I do:
var WORKING_DIR $MY_ENV_VARIABLE
The conf file things $MY_ENV_VARIABLE should have been defined somewhere within the .conf file and thus does not set $WORKING_DIR to anything...
One method I just thought of is to make an external .conf file that creates this variable and include it in the snort.conf like this:
#snort.conf
#ipvar HOME_NET any
include ./HOME_NET.conf
Then, create a HOME_NET.conf file that looks like this:
ipvar HOME_NET 192.168.1.0/16
and change/repl...
@Dan there was an error in my command that was giving me that crappy error msg. Here is the updated error message:
ipvar HOME_NET ${SYS_HOME_NET} ERROR: snort.conf(1) Failed to parse the IP address: ${SYS_HOME_NET}
ipvar HOME_NET $(printenv SYS_HOME_NET) ERROR: snort.conf(1) Missing argument to HOME_NET
@Venki there's a difference between bragging and celebrating. Bragging (as in "look at me, I have soooo much rep!") is ridiculous celebrating (as in "yay! I reached N rep!) is fine. Nothing wrong with what you wrote as far as I'm concerned anyway.
@Rinzwind but if I add it in the upstart script isn't that just going to set the environment variable for the system level scope? just like doing an export ... command. Which would put me where I am now, having snort.conf not able to read-in system level env variables... am I off-base?
@sadmicrowave Ah, I think I see. So the issue is that you want the variable in the conf file but since it's a shell variable, snort won't know how to expand it.
The thing is that snort is reading the file, not your shell and snort has no access to env vars. You will need to use the shell to update the value stored in the conf file.

This gvfs-move command will also rename files and directories.
