@Oli gpsd actually opens each USB serial device and pokes it to see if it is a GPS device; I want to do the same thing for modems and then use the program in a udev rule to symlink to /dev/modem automatically.
@Oli Its actually turning into just a 30 line program though so I'm coding it myself.
i tried to compile it again to /usr. this time i get no compiler errors but it gives weird errors about permissions etc. what happens if i do "sudo make"? should i try it?
how bad could it be
it asks me "rm: descend into write-protected directory `html'? "
Oh boy this is a qustion and a half.
Simply put when i set up the server it wasn't intended to be used for what it is now, and root (/) has run out of diskspace, while /home has tonnes of the stuff floating around.

That's not very useful for anyone else if you find how to change it and stop there :)
I mean it's perfectly fine, but in the spirit of Open Source (jk on that) - it's a good thing to share it (at least the idea) with someone who might be able to implement it.
it's more likely to happen now than ever before as well

Anyone who can make it to #ubuntu-meeting on Freenode to cheer on Stefano and me (as well as anybody else who's going up for Ubuntu membership) would be appreciated from the applicants. We also all have testimonial sections that people can add to if they can't make it to the meeting.

How would I go about upgrading MySQL to version 5.5 on Ubuntu Server 9.10?
Would I be better off waiting for it to be an easy $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server job?
I'm also unsure as to which download I would need to get from here.

@JorgeCastro The pictures are better but are sort of redundant. I've given the OP an option to edit their question to ask about theming (which would be much simpler than hacking in GDM) so if they bite, I'll leave things unmerged. You can edit the older Q and copy the image across though.
@ajmitch just noticed you were talking about all this 40-odd minutes ago. Well I've sent them a stern email so they'll either stop or get banned. I've gone through and edited out the links where possible too. And left a comment about perhaps using postfix instead of sendmail.
@JorgeCastro and @jrg I don't see the similarity between this question and its suggested duplicate. I also don't see how a person is going to run the suggested answer from the older question (run ccsm but how if there's no display?)
I switched off the "Animations" options in the CCSM manager by mistake. This removed all the window decorations, removed Unity, and even the top menu bar which has the shutdown menu I restarted, but it didn't make any difference. The login screen is fine. All I see after login is the wallpaper. H...
@JorgeCastro I've added a fuller answer to the older question to explain to people who aren't aware of TTYs and the DISPLAY environment variable, what to do
@DavidPfeffer e2fsck shouldn't really give you much gyp about that. IIRC it should just throw the journal away and move on (that being the point in it). If you want to force a scan, shutdown -F should do it but I'm not sure that'll help you.
@GeorgeEdison I'm really uncomfortable with that scope and I think that's your issue.
Basically the floating function ("callback") is well out of the scope of the loop by the time it's called. The variable it now equals has changed. all the way up to the latest item.
I think you probably want to be more robust with your assignment so that whatever object is calling the callback has its own reference to its number - or at least has some indestructible way of looking it up.
Oh boy this is a qustion and a half.
