What is the correct way to completely remove an application? http://askubuntu.com/q/187888?atw=1 #uninstall
 
12:45 AM
Eclipse, Android SDK, PhoneGap, Sencha SDK, Sencha Tools, PyDev, and a base application all square. It's a shame it's almost more work to configure the environment than it is to actually build something... Now for SL4A and Py4A
@RolandTaylor I see your blender spaceship and raise you this: youtube.com/watch?v=qTRrq5j1ITk&feature=related

@aking1012: Have you read/heard anything about this book? I'm looking for something to "cut my teeth on".
 
2:03 AM
@jrg haven't seen/heard on that one specifically. i was a fan of the old hacking exposed 4th ed as a basic intro. then tool specific knowledge for wherever you're wanting to perform specifically (web-appsec, binary-appsec, network, social, full scope-all of the above, whatever else)

I am currently in a slight choice battle for a ubuntu system intrusion detection system that I would set up and test on my home computer. My choices are Snort, psad, and fail2ban, any suggestions?
thanks for the tip, I will edit it
ah, to late :P
 
No prob ^_^
Gonna play 0 A.D.
Too quiet tonight :/
 
@RolandTaylor what?
sorry I was downstairs, eating
 
@AZInventor snort or suricata
 
2:46 AM
Askbuntu was mentioned as the official support for ubuntu in my local newspaper
2
 
@AZInventor: fail2ban is what I use now
its not really an IDS tho
 
@aking1012 & @JourneymanGeek Thanks, I will try one or both
 
@HackToHell really? Can you take a picture? that would be awesome
 
3:09 AM
Are world-writable folders safe? http://askubuntu.com/q/187904?atw=1 #security

Q: How do I stop sound from muting when the screen is locked?

Alexander Marcevhow to change the settings to the screenlocker not to mute the sound while the screen is locked?

@RolandTaylor may be.

hi, i want to install a linux distro, but im wondering about the GNU tools
are they preinstalled?
 
@nEAnnam there is no linux distro without some of GNU tools, afaik
but I don't exactly know, whether all of them is preinstalled
 
@nEAnnam if you mean the compilers, the not in the case of Ubuntu
 
4:24 AM
im looking for GCC and make
 
No, those are not included by default on Ubuntu
 
GCC is included, but not make
 
so, i think ill need to install by myself
 
you just need to run sudo apt-get install build-essential
Any particular reason (if you don't mind me asking)?
 
i just want to try linux ^^
ive never tried before, what a shame :S
 
4:27 AM
I mean why you want the GNU tools preinstalled.
@nEAnnam oh well Ubuntu is the right one for you :)
 
@nEAnnam you can always install the tools you want once you install a distro.
 
Locking screen doesn't stop sound here. talking about this question
 
thank you guys

Q: How do I change the desktop name on the Unity panel?

tanmay.01 How do I change Ubuntu Desktop to XYZ's Desktop.

 
@jokerdino ty~!
 
4:30 AM
@jokerdino nice!
 
yeah, i remembered seeing a similar question before.
looked it up and found the duplicate
 
You could probably just edit the compiled file as long as your new string was shorter than "Ubuntu Desktop"
 
@aking1012 I think it would be safer and simpler to edit the source :P
 
i doubt it...but we're allowed to have differing opinions
 
4:46 AM
lol
(don't ask what I'm loling at :P)

Ok Thanks, but how can I change permissions so I can have access to those folders, what commands do I need or can you please provide a link for listed commands, I'm new to ubuntu. Thanks — zanxt 13 mins ago
 
Tell him what the folder is and why it is not a good idea to access it.
 
Hi everyone...!
 
you haven't really helped him much there.
 
hmm..
Is he asking to change the permission of /root folder or the / folder itself?
 
what do you think?
 
7:29 AM
i think, it is /root folder

Q: Any plans for a dedicated Ask Ubuntu Android app?

mark kirbyHi I was wondering if there are any plans to release a dedicated Ask Ubuntu app on Android. I know of a few stack exchange apps but with the upcoming Ubuntu for Android will a Ask Ubuntu app follow ? I think me and many others would gladly download this and even pay a pound or so for it.

Q: Would adding a beginners section to this site make it easier to use?

mark kirbyI have been using Ask for a while now, but have noticed a problem, there are many spam questions, if you will. To clarify my meaning if you search the site for things like "how to burn a live CD" or "do I need drivers" or "cant connect to wifi" etc.. you will find thousands of Q and A's on these...

Alright. Let me take a look. Thanks

Don't buy laptops from Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc. They are defective by design.
should that be removed from an answer?
@jokerdino
 
Yes
hm. it probably depends on the context though

A: USB Wireless is not detected when installing 12.04

jaredThe problem is your probably disabling the wireless. There are certain keys like FN + F1-F12 which do this. There is also possibly of an on/off switch. However, most likely the switch is defective and you have permanently disabled the wireless (including USB). Don't buy laptops from Dell, HP, T...

 
I think it is fine.

Q: Dual graphics cards in Mint & Ubuntu

Can you answer this? DVD wont mount Ubuntu 12.04 http://askubuntu.com/q/186361?atw=1 #mount
 
@jokerdino freedom of speech has limitations
 
not when it is true
 
we cannot categorically say that the statement is true for all of those products
 
well, in this case, it probably isn't
coz it can be a driver issue / software issue instead of the hardware issue
 
12:39 PM
anyway, I didn't remove it, someone might.
@jokerdino true
 
it's alright either way.
though now i think it is a good idea removing it o.O
it sounds like a semi rant more than a useful answer
 
@jokerdino :) well, let the mods decide, or you can do it since you're a quasi mod :))
 
Done.
 
Good
dinner time
