Also if someone wants a link for a cheap-ish reasonable capacity SSD ping me. Some idiot flagged a chat message with a tiger link and got it approved last time I posted a link directly. Sadly face your accusers doesn't happen on stackchat.
I'm new to Ubuntu - to be honest this is my very first day trying it... and I've already spent hours trying to make my wired connection work.
I've been using this wired network with Windows and OSX, and in both systems I also had some trouble trying to connect in the past (and the troubleshooter...
Hay, everyone. I have an old PowerBook which has been happily running Ubuntu Server for a few months. Now I want to repartition the hard drive and install Ubuntu Client, just temporarily…
Thing is, the whole thing is an encrypted LVM, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to do it. Can anyone help?
sorry, i was raging. i'm hungry, but someone ate my food stockpile...and i won't make them right/OK by reciprocating. i'll probably be really poor company for the rest of the night.

@jrg i take your point. i'm currently battling an obrama supporter on how valid criticising mis-spellings from the teaparty is as a campaign/pr-kit from eeeeediots tactic is
@jrg arguing against a campaign for "misspellings are a reason to criticize a campaign" by introducing noticeable and offensive misspellings intentionally.
I have an old PowerBook which has been happily running Ubuntu Server for a few months. Now I want to repartition the hard drive and install Ubuntu Client, while keeping my existing installation intact.
When I first installed Ubuntu, I chose to erase the entire hard drive and use it as an encrypt...

Basically I have a blank screen at the login after I have entered my password and have tried running in 2D and various other methods including downloading UBUNTU again and creating a bootable USB however none of these work since I don't have any permissions to run things in a guest account.

My parents are getting older and you can see that they are really kind of struggling a bit I would like to take care of them until the end, but I am really concern about Alzheimer’s, can this be prevented?

Same situation with this user (probably a sockpuppet of that one, see "her" question -- also, there is a user with this name on OnStartups too, who made a similar post).
Also here, see text in that page from these search results. The users involved with this (not including the user who answered that question, as that particular answer was not spam) should probably be banned network-wide.
@RolandiXor I agree. Maybe another answer here that clearly states that would help? I'm not sure if that would be appropriate but I think people are often unaware that editing spam makes handling it more complicated and doesn't significantly contribute to decreasing the "value" associated with spamming SE.
I noticed that the posts of the recent spam surge on AskUbuntu were all edited by community members into something like

There is a file named RESULTS.txt and I want to open this file in my terminal. (I mean I want to see the file contents be displayed in the terminal and not in some text editor)
How do I do that ?
@Sparksis When I search for "open a text file in a terminal" I get results from mac forums for things like pico, etc. which aren't in ubuntu. This kind of question is very much welcome here. — Jorge Castro9 hours ago
I've deleted the question, told the OP that VideoBam seems to be awful and that if they insist on using video, they use somebody with a mildly better reputation (Flickr, Youtube, Facebook, etc)

This is already possible - anything you can delete, you can also leave a comment on.
So leave a comment, and then delete. Anyone who can still view the deleted post can also view the comment.

I'm administrating a networked environment and I had an interesting situation arise yesterday.

@OctavianDamiean you're a fellow tinkerer right? how would you feel about an openkindle app built from taken apart kindle app components? i'm sure it would violate some ToS somewhere, but I think it's the "right" thing to do
i'll just get someone in new zealand to publish it. they don't honor copyright on software that isn't linked to a hardware component. and if i derive from the android app, it's not linked.
once i cover not getting arrested for building it, i'm satisfied. use is a whole different thing. once it's out, it's out. if i derive REALLY readable code for something from a closed app and someone derives from me i'm not upset unless i'm hungry
