i booted up ubuntu live cd and click on try ubuntu and installed vlc player.Does the installed vlc player will be there if i shutdown and reboot the live usb?
There have been a lot of questions asked recently in the form of How do I install Ubuntu on my $randomphone? I'm not sure Ask Ubuntu is the right forum for the questions. While they fit the general concept of having a direct question, with a presumably direct enough answer, they also seem to be t...

But I don't have a clue to change UTC to ISD.

how to ping a IP or URL from different location or IP with same Ubuntu PC .
I want access same IP or URL from the same Ubuntu PC but not with same system IP every time .
thank you.
@NathanOsman I'm with you on that one. Drained after a day makes you not ready to push hard...then days off are house cleaning and laundry. I have a site about done, but I keep finding minor bugs and other little things.
My response was: Trying to replace something as core as the graphical system is going to be painful. Until they kill server and Xubuntu, I'm still on board. If mir dependency chains break XFCE I'll move to Debian. Plain and simple.
I'm not sure they worry too much. I mean look at the performance spike down between gnome 2 and 3. It's bone-crushing. I know that's what they're trying to fix. I just worry that it won't be done before fracturing all the things.
actually - as far as I can gather - mir/xmir currently works well with XFCE - fixes all tearing issues. That is - assuming you are not in a multimonitor situation
well - no difference now - there was previously when the latter Q title was specifically about upgrading to the 12.04 LTS. @Oli for some reason changed it.
About my edit, rev 1 of that question is very different from most of the subsequent revisions.... It was originally about 11.10→12.04... Somewhere along the line somebody added in all sorts of acrobatics about multi-release jumping

@Tarun, This is how mine looks : define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name SOMETHING service_description Disk Space check_command check_all_disks!20%!10% }
Metro Last Light: -33%
Dark Matter: -50%
Arma Tactics: -25%
Super Meat Boy: -66%
Portal: -75%
Euro Truck Simulator 2: -66%
Left 4 Dead 2: -75%
All Counter Strike games: -50% (note: CS: GO is not yet available for Linux)
And this sale is working against itself... I've been saying I'd buy Prison Architect when it got under £10 (as it now is) but I can't justify it when Skyrim is £3.74. That's a lot of game for a few hundred pennies... Even if it does require Wine.
Does anybody know how to download a file using wget when the name is something like xmind-linux-3.4.0.201311050558_amd64.deb and you want the command to be the same regardless of what version of 3.4.* this is?
I want to download files with names such as xmind-linux-3.4.*_amd64.deb
But using wildcards in filenames is not really possible it seems when using wget, but I'd like something like this to work because I want to add it to my CompleteUbuntuSetup.sh.
Is it possible to use wildcards in wget queries when downloading from directories? Basically, I have a site, say, www.download.example.com/dir/version/package.rpm. Howevery, the version directory changes all the time and sometimes contains multiple RPM packages. Is there a single wget query that ...
@jokerdino Thanks, I've seen this tip already. but I can't get this to work. I assume it would work with .deb, but I need to download the file which ends on amd64.deb.
Unfortunately, Xmind does not do it click Google Chrome for example where the 64-bit download always has the same file name: https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
@gentmatt Yeah. You could repeat that on the internal request too, just as you could preserve cookies between the two requests (if they ever implement session-based checking)... But just the user-agent spoof is enough for now.
Is it true that Ubuntu 14.04 is using GTK3.8 and Gnome 3.8 components,while it should be using atleast 3.10? Gnome 3.8 was in use since Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail and will be one year old,very old by the time 14.04 is released.
@HEXcube I'ld be careful about saying should be using, but it is using 3.8 packages.ubuntu.com is where you start. hotlinking the page result doesn't work
consider that an LTS needs a solid base, so backported security fixes and everything else stable is probably a better idea than trying to get edge in to an lts...

@ThomasW. If they are, the votes will be invalidated automatically. This can take a little while (overnight?) but it does work if they're really hammering you. If you really want to reverse a vote you can edit the post and then change your vote. A bit kludgey but it works.
But don't give into terrorism. If your vote was for a good reason, let it stand. You've only lost 6 rep so far. I wouldn't worry too much.
