@JasperLoy: I tend to do my package management the old fashioned way. Uphill, both ways, in the snow. And i'm thankful i'm not one of those kids who was too poor to have a package manager. They had to write their own compilers... using nothing but their teeth and a block of wood.
@JasperLoy: does pinning them the old fasioned way work?
@jokerdino according to wiki, dpkg is the software at the base of the Debian package management system. dpkg is used to install, remove, and provide information about .deb packages.
@AnwarShah I do that most of the time if I have download all the packages and dependencies at the school computer and use those to install on my offline computer at home...:))
On a Ubuntu 10.04 system I noticed following strange NTP sync events:

@AnwarShah It does work. I only do that once I am sure I have all the dependencies downloaded. I go to this site where I can search for a package or app and then it will list all the package dependents and all I have to do is download it from there.

@jrg no. mspeachy wants a command line answer. she claims there is a dconf tools gui way of doing things. so, I just want that answer so I can frame the command xD

@jokerdino it isn't actually problem for me right now, I was just trying to find out if there's a way to do it. My real problem is the "error: hd0 out of disk"
@jokerdino Yeah, there is a GUI. It's dconf-editor, in the dconf-tools package. To get the command you just go through the hierarchy (so com.canonical.unity.etc.etc.etc)
Great answer: What has 'rm -r ~' done to my home directory? http://askubuntu.com/questions/157513/what-has-rm-r-done-to-my-home-directory/157515?atw=1#157515 #commandline
@msPeachy that's why I said 3 times, because if any one person upvotes more than that then it gets reversed. I know this system, I help enforce it. is secretly an Agent from The Matrix
"Mr. Anderson @jokerdino. I've been waiting for this for a long long time"
@jrg I got 7 upvotes, all on separate answers, all within 1-2 minutes, about an hour ago. Should I expect that they might all be from the same person, and that they may be reversed as serial upvoting?
@jrg +1, makes my life for 10k agree/disagree easier too... I totally need to steal @EliahKagan 's pro-forma script when it makes it to a jsonp .... ;)
@izx It had outlived its usefulness once you did your edit. Actually, I ended up seeing you'd done the edit, and I removed it myself.
@Mitch Yeah, so did I. Exactly 7. Is it 7 for everyone? If so, I wonder if someone either (1) thinks that upvoting someone 7 times won't trigger the system, or (2) is deliberately serially upvoting prankishly (perhaps to trigger rep recalcs, I remember something on Meta.SO about rep recalcs from serial upvoting resulting in noticeable rep decreases).
@Mitch Not generally. Voting is secret, for good reason. My understanding is that serial downvoting and serial upvoting are almost only ever confirmed if the person who did it admits to it. That's why the system responds automatically. In any case, perhaps whoever is doing it doesn't realize that serial upvoting is frowned upon (and that it results in reversal of the rep gained, after some threshold).
It doesn't rally matter. I want the up-vote to be sincere, so new comers who have the same issue, will find the help that they need, and not move away from Ubuntu, because of some schmuck, better yet, a Putz.
@izx One possibility is that they are clicking open 7 tabs from 7 questions per profile in which they're interested, and then upvoting all of them if they think the answer is any good. That would be non-malicious. (Not good, but not intentionally bad.) When I've had to look at lots of pages, I often open some set number of them at a time. (For example, I might click open ten tabs for ten links to duplicate bugs on Launchpad, when searching for information about a bug not present in the master.)
goes to talk to SE about another mod election "Excuse me, we either need another 10 mod slots that we can appoint, or we need better 10K tools. We'd prefer the first one to be honest... rule this community with an iron fist."
And now I sound like a crazy sadistic fool. Way to go. ;P
@jokerdino so, the choice is yours. You can take the blue pill, and stay as a user, or take the red pill, and we'll see how deep the voting ring goes.
