I have had my ubuntu running for a handful of years and I have screwed with it far to much. Over the last few days I desided to update to 12.04 and not even my terminal will work now.
Is there any way to remove all of the things I have downloaded and installed over time to make it just like I f...
Description-en: System Settings System Settings is an improved user interface for configuring the desktop and other aspects of the system. . This package is part of the KDE base workspace module.

btw, Jon Skeet is a unit of measure reputation:

@Braiam He meant software settings would go towards settings for software, while system-settings would go for system-settings.. but again, that's a meta post.
I got 11+ upvotes and only 29 rep for an answer but my daily reputation was only at 156. That's 44 short of the daily cap! I'm trying to make 20k before the Boston Dev Days, too!
There has been a lot of talk about the daily reputation cap and what counts and what doesn't count and so on. But why is there a cap at all? I've seen lots of questions about whether the cap number should be changed, or whether certain things should or should not apply to the cap, but I've never ...

"the system call unlink() decreases the file link count and removes the corresponding directory entry" is that just a fancy way of saying that the file is deleted from the filesystem?
Im reading a book Understanding The Linux Kernel and it uses some flowery language
that's not the same as just deleting the directory entry. what would happen if link incremented the file link count, then unlink didn't decrement it. finally you want to delete the original, but you can't because the link count is still more than it should be.
filesystems... complex things that the people that work on them never get enough credit for.

I had ubuntu 13.10, but recently I upgraded it to 14.04(manualy), compiz started to giving me a lot of problems, now I want to re-install 14.04, as you know there are many types for installation but I want to know if I choose "Eliminate ubuntu and re-install it" it will errase all my data, I mean...
You only lose rep if it was a recent event. If it's over xyz days old, you get to keep it even if it gets deleted. I think it's 30 or 90 days, but I don't remember.
@Andrew It was an aggregated list of proxy lists that was deduped. I was generating metrics on crossover between different proxy sites and whatnot, but it didn't pull any donations, so I killed it.

I feel for questions there should be a basic scale like the up/down vote thing, but only with 0-10 option.... IF the question is vrey basic if it has 0 than it should be removed... Or the more basicer it is than the less rep you get from it when someone upvote it.
I keep reading about Personal Package Archives ('PPAs') and people answer questions with a link to a PPA. What's the best way to use these?

@Andrew It's useful to warn noobies about the fact that just because it's in ppa doesn't mean Canonical endorses it or that it won't break the universe
@hbdgaf And if they still don't understand it, than they can ask,, here is what my understanding is on it, can you please help me to understand it complietly
I was reading a guide to install some software and came reading until this shocking statement:
sudo is not installed on Debian by default. Make sure your system is up-to-date and install it.
As current Debian user, this is difficult to believe since from installation I'm able to use sudo. S...
@Braiam Say you were a Debian user from day one. You would have no concept of PPAs. So it's useful here when someone says "How do I get XYZ that isn't in repo on my system" to have an "Explanation and warning" question to reference on "It's easy, just enter the add-ppa command, update, and install. No more compile it from source for you"
@Lucio I allways wounder How does a computer work and how to make a program when I was like 5. And so when I had my own computer I learn WIndows, and how it operatited, I got fesserated with it, needed something more powerful... My first program that I wrote was a LUI one with 3000 LOC execitly
@Lucio My question is why do Colleges have people install bloodshed dev-c++ when you could just boot a livecd, install build-essential, and be done with it?
@Andrew Don't get annoyed most of the time. Sometimes, it's like "I could try the top twenty google results, or someone who knows more about a particular topic could just point me to the one they used already and know works..."
@Lucio I don't understand why some students get on their e-mail or their facebook account on their computer. A) They have access to it because of LOGS, KEYLOGERS,... B) The lovely Malware on it also have access to it.

@Lucio I had someone that wanted a website built by a relative of mine. Relative of mine spent 6 hours picking colors while I spent 45 minutes hammering out their static website. Then, said relative left the house and told the interested party to come over and I would sort out any issues. And the interested party was a salon that gave the relative free haircuts. I got zero out of this 4 hour ordeal when all was said and done. And this is why I don't speak to relatives.
The first time it showed up on the arduino scene it got lots of "shut up and take my money"s, but they're still prototyping a year and a half later. I should just build the shit out of a clone and sell it.
they probably have some kind of patent and they're trying to do the "license a patent to a production company for royalty" instead of "just build the darn thing and sell it". that's the only explanation for 2 years of prototypes after an initial working prototype.
The alternate explanation is that they're working on a menu system. One of their other demos is a facebook app that lets you order drinks with a menu driven QR code thing. Just slap a nexus 7 on it and be done with it. Menu complete.
You mean like robert jordan finishing wheel of time? I called that one a decade ago. One of my friends didn't believe me. Then when it happened he was all "How did you know?"
seriously though. i need to dig around and see if i can find where they told what valves they were using with what liquors. seems like there was a problem with the standard valve and grenadine or something... but who needs grenadine anyway. The only problem I see in the proto is the 1 axis of movement thing and the glass. The second axis would let you eject the glass from the cage of the enclosure. So it actually becomes a "here's your drink" device
I have a notebook with bluetooth 4.0 inbuilt.
I am not able to connect hbh-ds970 sony erricson bluetooth headset on
any of the latest ubuntu distros starting from 12.10.
It used to work fine on earlier distros though.
Can anyone help me debug or provide a solution?
If I were writing it, it would be a scalable lib where you defined the number of slots at compile time. So if you wanted a thousand bottles, you should be fine as long as your trolley rails are long enough.
