I'm trying to use cron for the first time, and I'm stuck.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, and the following is my /etc/crontab file. The only modification that I've made is appending the last line.
I've verified that cron is running, and the other jobs here run, but the last one does not.
# /etc/cront...
I don't know anything about fashion design, but I've been getting
into streetwear and want to try and make some t-shirt and hat designs.
Now, I can obviously design in Inkscape, but I was wondering if there
was any specific fashion design software available for Ubuntu.
Fun fact of the day: there's a 'yes' command. Yes, try running it in a terminal. What does it do? Why, it prints the letter 'y' followed by a line break continuously, of course!
What would you ever use it for? Well, suppose there's a command that asks 'continue (y=yes,n=no)' for a bunch of files and you don't want to sit there and push 'y' for every single file.
You simply pipe the output of the 'yes' command into the input of the other command and presto! - it answers 'y' instead of asking you for the input.
Should this question be deleted and re-written for another stackexchange site? The more I dig into the answer on my own, the more I realize this isn't an ubuntu issue and I'm not sure what the typical protocol is when this happens.
That's easily solved. You have two options - I can give you a subdomain off of jamesrgifford.com (don't think you want that, but whatever) or you can register a .tk domain - dot.tk/en/index.html?lang=en
@jrg Thanks for the response but it's really not about repositories at all anymore. It's turned into a DNS issue. But still Ubuntu related, given I'm on Ubuntu.
Thinking about rephrasing it and dropping it in... I don't know... serverfault or superuser. Would that be wrong to do? (still pretty new to the stackexchange etiquette)
@trench If the question subject has changed drastically, it might be worth just creating a new question.
If you're not getting good feedback on a question - maybe because of it's subject matter, and you feel it could do better on U&L, SF, SU, etc just flag it for migration and we'll move the question over - that way there isn't a double post.
I have two HP remotes, one is a huge remote for the TV tuner and media centre, and the other is a tiny remote for just controlling a media centre.
Is it possible to get them to work with Ubuntu (11.04) using LIRC? I know at least one of them is recognized, as I can use one of the buttons to turn...
Same, just wrapped up another set of finals and pushed a prototype live at work. Ironing out the remaining bugs and implementing the remaining feature sets now.
> The obsolete RFC 3177 recommended the assignment of a /48 to end consumer sites. This was replaced by RFC 6177, which "recommends giving home sites significantly more than a single /64, but does not recommend that every home site be given a /48 either." /56s are specifically considered.
even if I gave 10 addresses to every single electronic gadget I own, and in the future, I end up having 10 times as many gadgets, I still wouldn't get close to using a /16
even if there were 5 people in my household all doing that
I wonder when my ISP will wake up and deploy IPv6... probably never since the morons still refuse to enable SSL on their mail server
I keep telling them they are putting their customers at risk of having their banking information stolen from their email every time they check it from a public wifi hotspot, but they don't seem to care
@StefanoPalazzo, there's a difference between abundant, and rediculous
65,536 addresses for a home is abundant.... billions is redonculous
two particles that seem to exchange information faster than the speed of light.. it's goofy, but they exist... they just need to employ them for telecommunications
well, that and rejigger the laws of physics to explain how it's possible
@StefanoPalazzo, two particles do the same thing all the time... to prove entanglement you'd have to change one to see if the other is the same by happenstance, or because they are entangled
