@Braiam,@Rinzwind I saw some few lines about how to make a file immutable in Linux shell scripting cookbook,(Making files immutable Files on extended type filesystems, which are common in Linux (for example, ext2, ext3, ext4, and so on) can be made immutable using a certain type of file attributes. When a file is made immutable, any user or super user cannot remove the file until the immutable attribute is removed from the file.)It was the reason behind that question.Thank you for spending time and explain me clearly.
(I have a windows desktop and ubuntu notebook each with their own 22" screen. synergy lets met use 1 kb 1 mouse to use both) works on any system that is in the same network
N.B. - since you said you are "new to ubuntu" - I presume you come from a windows background? .tar files are usually just source code files that need compilation. To do that you'll need a whole host of other packages to install. Definitely not something you want to attempt if you are new.
I've installed kubuntu 14.04, and there is some problem with CPU turbo frequency. I've read a lot about it, but can't find the correct answer.
There is an i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz with 3.20GHz turbo in my Lenovo Y580 notebook. If i put the cpu at full load (with rendering in blender on 8 threads...
This user asks a question and 30 secs later I go to check out his/her profile only to face the 'Page not found' error.
What is the explanation behind that?
@fossfreedom yes i'm from windows background,the vlc package is about 20 mb,it should not only source code,my host has internet access,but i have lmited bandwidth :\
Excuse me people!! I made a liveUSB of 14.04 LTS with unetbootin on a 4GB pendrive that had two partitions..one for persistence and the other for putting in the Ubuntu install....now I boot into my pendrive and i get a screen asking me to try ubuntu install or install ubuntu(the screen has a title "Unetbootin")...now if i press try ubuntu without install it opens some console like thinkg(intriamfs it says) ... i can type in that terminal but cant try ubuntu...what is the problem here?

@Danatela I did the thing with txt.cfg(when i used startup disk creator) but it aint working!
@fossfreedom Right..but it must work the way that answer tells too right? If that is what i can do then what if i had a 8GB pendrive instead of a 4GB one? With the default casper-rw file i can only have 4GB persistence right?...
you used "startup disk creator"? - that is just a bad bad tool causing all sorts of issues - unetbootin is the tool of choice here. Never understood why ubuntu ships startup disk creator - it has never worked for me.
@fossfreedom I am back. Ok actually before i was selecting the wrong option form the BOOT menu.. Now I selected th right one and got into live USB session successfully. Now the issue is HOW DO I USE MY PERSISTENCE PARTITION TO STORE MY SETTINGs?
hmm? its a live USB - that's not what you have done - If you wanted a regular ubuntu install you should have just installed it onto the USB. The alternative is to play around moving /home onto the second partition.
@Venki I've never played with a live USB using the method you've tried - I'm doubtful. When you make changes and reboot I presume the changes are not saved?
hmm - persistence should cope with user based changes - sounds like something went wrong with your setup - dunno though. Create a question I think. More experienced minds in this area will help I'm sure.
I suggest you press shift key with clicking.
I think that it's very easy, and It's a function of Unity.

@fossfreedom Now I'm editing readme.md.
and I think that my answer is good, so it have a accept, but no upvote.
@Dan Thanks for notifying.. I have seen that happen a couple of times before.. SE makes us to wait for a certain period of time to post multiple comments (about ~15 seconds, I guess); but from Review interface it sometimes posts 3 comments simultaneously...
@fossfreedom This question was closed by @Luis... The question looks fine to me. Can you please ask @Luis why did he close it.. @Luis doesn't come to chat it seems, hence requesting you :)
I might be missing something, hence want to listen to his views before nominating to reopen it
Meh, when it comes to compound bash one-liners in cron, testing is hard enough... I just prefer to be explicit with paths so we know where . is. It's out of habit.
@AvinashRaj I just had some fun with a co-worker. When he was afk I installed synergy on his machine and configured it to run over my computer. I managed to creep him out by randomly going with my mouse to my "3rd screen" _O-

Is there a way to shape the traffic on SSH port output or SSH/TCP/IP Session and make sure that the fair amount of bandwidth gets distr...
> Running 32-bit AIR 2.6 on 64-bit systems has not been fully tested. However 32-bit AIR is expected to run on 64-bit system if they have the required 32-bit libraries and packages installed.
i am trying to set up a home server using ubuntu 12.04, i am trying to set up the dynamic dns service no-ip on it, i am following this tutorial howtoforge.com/…, after i created the the start up script it starting freezing on start up, and i cant get it started up to remove the script
Basically, since the last version of Air was made, the way Ubuntu treats 32bit runtimes on a 64bit system changed. And Adobe didn't do anything to help... And then everything changed again and Adobe did nothing again... So there are about nineteen different ways of catering to Adobe's awfulness but it's all pretty much the same thing... Get the 32bit versions of the things Air needs and try to mush them into your system at once while holding your breath.
Alright guys, this is killing me; my changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config are not taking effect. I've tried changing the port for instance from 22 to 2222, restarted the ssh service with /etc/init.d/ssh restart and exit the current ssh session and tried reconnecting and 2222 is not listening... none of my changes are taking effect...
Currently we are accessing a remote Red Hat Box via SSH through local Ubuntu machines. But now we need to use some type of Remote Desktop client to access it, so I have used VNC in the past and I know there should be something else like Reminna or something a like.
Also I remember there was an ...

@Braiam I started working on a 1200baud modem. THAT one still had the most impact on my work; all of a sudden you did not need to go to a client but could just remotely code :D
I suggest you following commands to solve this problem.
apt-get build-dep vlc
./configure
Ubuntu repository has also vlc.
So you can build it with following command.
apt-get source vlc
cd vlc-<version>
dpkg-buildpackage
there the reason why I will never want to be a mod :+)
But since you asked about it: I see not a lot wrong with the tag. I use it as soon as it concerns something related to CLI (and mainly when it is about commands but i will use a more specific tag if possible) Thing is that I consider this "There have been a few edit wars recently concerning" to be more a problem.
Any user that retracts/rollbacks/edits an edit from another user that has his fair amount of rep should come to chat and ask or explain why. Not just hammer around and keep rolling back and forth.
i am trying to get a home web server up and going with ubuntu 12.04, everything is installed, but when i load the local ip the public html doesn't load, nor does it load from the public ip, i cant figure out what i am doing wrong, in the tutorial i watched the public html was up on the local network from install, all it says is webpage unavailable, does anyone know what i am missing or doing wrong
@Rinzwind although, it occurs to me that cp won't succeed if the original file doesn't exist, so I could just suppress output of the cp command and it would be essentially the same thing.... right?
I love this community, and I want to help the new users here, so I pose this question in earnest:

that will not create a file ;) It will redirect errors and standard output to /dev/null (so no results from ls -l itself listing the file and no errors if it shows a "does not exist" notice
