@GeorgeEdison FWIW, I'm strongly in favour of putting the lens & related pieces into the ubuntu archive rather than going via ARB, now that you're wanting to add on these extra services as dependencies
The lens by itself would most likely be fine for extras.ubuntu.com, I'd already said that there are exceptions for /opt for files that need to live in /usr. The problem now is more likely to be having network daemons
Because it seems to be contrary to the intention of what goes into extras.ubuntu.com, this is just based on reading suggested security checklists for review, etc
I think that if it's the case, then there needs to be a clarification on developer.ubuntu.com at least, to say what sort of packages are reasonable
Can the cron job run as root (is this wise)? The reason being - it should be writing the files it downloads to a folder accessible to all users (root, most importantly).
Packages that are submitted for extras.ubuntu.com cannot install binaries that are intended to be accessible from the default $PATH - they are meant to be relatively lightweight GUI applications. This excludes installing Upstart services or other files into /etc.
The restrictions on files were m...

ssh-keygen does not generate teh SSH fingerprint at your server. That is generated by the SSH server. ssh-keygen creates a public/private key pair for your system that you can later use to access your SSH server without having to transmit a plain-text passcode to the server.

Great answer: What different DE's / shells are available? http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-different-des-shells-are-available/65108#65108 #softwarerecommendation
SSH host keys are stored in /etc/ssh/, which you generally do not need to choose. These keys were generated when the openssh-server package was installed.
You can list the fingerprint of the keys by ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh_host_key.pub though you will need to repeat this for each public key.
I have a home file server on which I have recently reinstalled the OS. I replaced Ubuntu Server 10.04.2 32-bit with 10.04.3 64-bit due to hardware upgrades. I've copied my previous Samba configuration over, recreated the share user, and made sure the permissions for the shared directories, on ano...
there are so many uses of this data beyond just "i have x problem, there are y answers", the fact we are scraping the META from all that data and augmenting the ubuntu sphere is pretty epic in my eyes. I <3 learning things like this.
true story, i finally made it to a WPLUG meetup and I discovered they are a bunch of BSD purists, so i got the typical linux noob treatment, until i pointed out on their wiki they have ubuntu install days. Trolls hate it when you DNFTT with their own data. :P
+1 for ubuntu being used everywhere for linux install fests
JorgeCastro come with me to the next ubuntu install fest with #wplug. I'll point them out and we can pick fun of their distribution and licensing choice. Reverse troll the trolls.
Gotta know where to look. Most of them came from Collaborative Fusion, a govt subsidized company full of kids from Carnegie Mellon, and they are FBSD zealots. and i mean, z-e-a-l-o-t-s
i used to consider myself a BSD guy because i was fluent in recompiling the userland and kernel with a custom config, and trouble shooting ports issues, then along came the CF sysadmin dweebs with something to troll about. I'm a bit bitter if you couldn't tell. Needless to say, i'm happy being a linux noob to them. its better this way, id ont have to listen to them.
Maybe i'm being a bit over-generalized on them being zealots, it was a pair of idiots thats all, cant blame the entire company, or the LUG for them. I'll continue to brood silently over the idiots raining on my parade.
I am using ubuntu 11.10, with gnome3.

@GeorgeEdison I've seen that before. The "/me" prefix really should be built-in, and cause the output to show up a bit differently so that people will know that it really is an action.
"/me" is used regularly in IRC, and various other chat systems, and I've seen many folks use it in these Stack Exchange chat systems too -- just look to your right for an example of someone using it in one of the recently starred questions. =)
But, it's also not the end of the world if this doesn't get programmed into the system.
@GeorgeEdison Definitely, keeping the script is a good thing (especially because someone/some-people likely put a lot of time and effort into making it work). Built-in also makes sense for the "/me" action.
How is this possible? I download the source code for GTK2, try to compile it but it has an error.
sudo apt-get source libgtk2.0-0
sudo apt-get build-dep libgtk2.0-0
cd gtk+2.0-2.24.6/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
And I get an error:
In file included from gtkquery.c:26:0:
gtkquery.h:31:...
because i just rebooted. it suddenly showed connection issues in chat and then i was no longer able to connect. askubuntu.com works fine, chat.stackexchange.com was ping-able.
