@Lucio Only if you want to set it globally. If you want to set it per-user, which is usually the right way to do it, then you should not use /etc/environment. In that situation, you can use .pam_environment inside your home directory, instead. (Which is also covered on that page.) Also, if it needs to be set conditionally, so that its content depends on something that has to be tested, then it will have to be set in a script file.
Also, I'm not sure what they mean when they say that setting it in a script file (like .profile in the home directory) is "Not recommended anymore." But so long as you're adding entries to PATH, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, and in fact that's done in the default .profile file, to add the user's private bin directory only if it exists.
To add directories to the end of a PATH, make sure $PATH appears on the right hand side of the assignment (and is separated from other entries, in Bourne-style shells like bash and sh, the separator is :). For example, you could have export PATH=$PATH:/some/directory:/some/other/directory to add directories to the end of PATH. Or export PATH=/some/directory:/some/other/directory:$PATH to add them to the beginning.
You can even add some to the beginning and some to the end in one command: export PATH=/some/directory:$PATH:/some/other/directory Please note that where a directory appears in the PATH matters, because when you run a command whose first word contains no / character, it gets matched against the file of that name in the first directory in $PATH to contain it.
I need a way to automaticallay turn the touchpad off when an external pointing device is in use. I tried setting "turn off touchpad while typing" in System Settings, but that didn't work.
A slight caveat is that I use both bluetooth and USB pointing devices, so perferably a solution would be ...
In terminal, if you type apt- and press tab, You will end up with these suggestions:
I know how and where and why to use
apt-add-repository
apt-get
apt-key
As for the rest, I want to see some practical examples explaining how to use these commands for a newbie in Ubuntu like me.
EDIT: I...
@GeorgeEdison yeah, and it needs the sign up. I was looking into it... I might do it if I can figure out some ipad making stuff, and all the things to get it into the store. then the fee would have more than one use.
@GeorgeEdison also there is the "team" sign up, developer.apple.com/programs/mac/team.html as I'm not sure If I can do all the signing and stuff myself, maybe sometime down the road. Right now its a "forget it Apple" type of thing for me.
I was talking to one of my friends that developed for the ipad (sadly he didn't know qt) and he said that you can make an app for it with just the virtural machine - before buying the developer thing. (or an ipad)
@AbrahamVanHelpsing I think it probably is a dupe of one of them. I don't think that's a attempt to create a canonical question. It seems like it's just another instance of the problem, or a related problem. Do you know the best question to close it as a duplicate of? I'm out of close votes "today" but I will be able to VTC again in a couple hours.
Seems like a weird decision. Assumedly many people bork their system and want to fix it. Three methods are recommended from searches on this site. Little reference is made to the pros & cons of any of them relative to the others (that I found). Further, I'm aware that there are various ways to structure partitioning; I chose a simple style and am probably not alone. It may be that this choice has been disadvantageous over time, and hence this could represent an excellent opportunity to change style. Recommending this could change the recommended repair type, hence it's pertinent. — dez93_20005 mins ago
@EliahKagan I can't think of any particular one. Skype multi-arch in the search box should turn up a bunch, I just have the close-hammer too liberal so I don't do initial closes
@Lucio There's no picture tag. The pictures tag has 4 questions in it. The image tag is ambiguous--it's used to refer both to graphical images and to images in the sense of ISO and squashfs. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend making something like pictures point to it even if we did have a lot of questions in pictures. But since we only have a few, the solution seems simple--we can simply retag the 4 questions under pictures.
@Seth I'm not sure where they got the idea that those are the primary methods. The first two methods are probably irrelevant to the problem that user has, though it's hard to know because the information given about the problem is minimal. That question was rightly closed as NARQ. I've commented.
It is somewhat common for a question to be off-topic because it is too bug-report like. This is certainly a legitimate reason for closing a question. One problem, however, is that unless there is a way of subsequently adding a link to a bug-report, the (closed) question is useless to anyone who...
i was visiting your onlystore for a few times and I saw a lot of things which I would like to buy.
So I put them in my Cart, but when I said Checkout in my Card it says to me that I have to pay
30,00€ for the shipping.
This is more then the things I want to buy so thats very bad.
Why is the Shipp...
@AbrahamVanHelpsing stackoverflow.com/questions/11711392/… so basically the user is greeted with a message that the app can't run, and the solution for users - is to change a setting that has a message like "disable all security", so you can run things... just not on a "allow this app only" basis - basically all or nothing.
wine opens windows applications that can be opened in windows only trough windows explorer, as name says WIN+E (windows explorer). some applications requires other windows components that does not come with wine ( windows explorer only ).
