ah well, they marked the bug against launchpad as invalid citing a dependency on an old library. funny thing is, i checked the control file and it uses the pseudo-package something-dev instead of the versioned something2-dev and auto-generates the binary package as a run-time/install dependency. oh well. guess i have to mirror a source repo and grep all the control files so i can find it evidencing in lots o packages...
@FEichinger - i just stole your edit to make the edit history more readable. approved the first one, but the second one i just took over since the edit history will be clearer
In the last couple of weeks, my Ubuntu machine went wonky. I can't access an SMB share of an ext3 formatted media player HDD that this machine serves files to. I can't seem to access the NTFS partition on the Ubuntu machines HDD. Programs frequently lock up on me. I cannot power down or restart u...
Is it me, or questions are getting weirder by the minute. Don't me alarmed when we see "I just installed Windows 8 on a Macbook Pro using the Ubuntu installer, how can I move all of this to a raspberry pi device without loosing the encryption I did with Fortran and Pascal"
You know, that's probably why SO is so snarky. I mean on the stack network who is the closest to them in size and scope? Vague questions of questionable origin could have "made them that way" as opposed to just being born evil people. Just saying... (to be clear I don't think SO denziens were born evil)
It's actually getting to a point where I click on a new question and.. wha...what...wait.. where.. what..how...Close window...Turn off computer. Like Jackie Chan once "said": 3.bp.blogspot.com/-8k1Bms_LTWY/UFi4VV79JRI/AAAAAAAAAH0/…
... That is a picture of the bootloader. Looks exactly the same on my PC. What exactly is the problem? — FEichinger1 min ago
Oh, that's weird and embarrassing. It's always booted up automatically before. I thought this was some kind of troubleshooting screen. — Gregory Fleming16 secs ago
@RolandiXor You do know that saying vote for the man you know you can trust while making the type of joke you did only works if you have a significant number of voters in Barbados
However, I am setting up a escrow system, where I can place my guesses as to who will win, and then call them back after the election and see how accurate I am.
i'm thinking GPG signing it, since that has a date/timestamp part.
Even if this might be a forum zombie - it might help someone.
Coming from a bug filed on launchpad by a user with the same name, I suppose the Ubuntu One Indicator Plugin applet from Roman Yepishev (https://launchpad.net/indicator-ubuntuone) is meant here.

oh, and that's assuming i'm at home. if i'm somewhere else, it takes about 45/app, since i have to do the cross-testing in a local VM, which is slower than on the internal one. :(
anyway, time to go sleep of haxors breaking into sites. :)
Background
I've got one 32GB SSD that I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed on (this drive is encrypted), and two 1.5TB drives that will serve as storage and backup respectively. I have formated both drives (sdb, sdc) as ext4 and added them to fstab:

Yeah, you can abuse the translations system to do this.
Make a temporary text file using gedit
gedit /tmp/foo.po
and enter this text it:
msgid "Trash"
msgstr "Crap"
Change to /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES
cd /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES
And then apply changes
sudo msgfmt...

GLaDOS, short for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System, is a fictional artificially intelligent computer system and the main antagonist in the video game Portal as well as its sequel, Portal 2. She was created by Erik Wolpaw and Kim Swift and is voiced by Ellen McLain. She is responsible for testing and maintenance in Aperture Science research facility in both video games. While she initially appears to simply be a voice to guide and aid the player, her words and actions become increasingly malicious until she makes her intentions clear. The game reveals that she is corrupted and use...
