@Tshepang your grammar is obviously better than mine... if you think that my grammar needs correcting, instead of asking me to correct it, why don't you just go ahead? we have edit, and now allow new people to suggest edit's for a reason. That is unless of course you don't understand what I said enough to modify it and retain meaning.
I am looking for a guide on one of Linux Package manager architectures. For example apt-get (dpkg), or yum (rpm). I want to know how they manage the package list, file list, package versions and so on. I wonder if anyone could point me to some resource.
@MichaelMrozek @Gilles do you guys think this post should live? I personally think it's overreaching and vague... but the fact that it's been upvoted 3 times prevents me from deleting it out of hand.
@MichaelMrozek @xenoterracide often does unparseable/typo'ed posts, and I think I fixed a few of his posts. I just wish he'd re-read his posts after writing them. And no I'm not nit-picking; he just happens to be a repeat offender. Maybe he writes them too quick and moves on.
@xenoterracide I hope you are not taking offense (this is a sensitive issue for a lotta peopl). Also, I'm not sure if my grammar is superior.
@xenoterracide I think it's perfectly okay. Maybe someone did draw the architecture of any of the major package managers, in which case a link to such a diagram would be good.
Hi,
I succesfully builded up a raid5 array on debian testing (Wheezy). As the manpages and further tell, the array would be created as an out of sync array with just a new spare injected to be repaired.
That worked fine.
But after the rebuild process, I get daily messages on missing spares - but...
Ok I'm pulling my hair out over this one. We have a wireless network with many clients all working well except two Ubuntu clients running 10.10 that can't access the internet via a browser at the same time. They can both still ping, use Skype etc but can't browse.
As soon as the one that can bro...
@Tshepang not offense, just annoyance. I've looked at some of the posts you've criticized as having bad grammar, and wanted to ask. WTF is wrong with it? it'd just be easier if you went ahead and modified them. or in some cases, you told me, and it probably took you longer to tell me than make the correction.
Hello,
I want to share the printer connected to Linux with Windows machine, so that windows-user can print to this Linux printer.
How can I do this ?
P.S. I followed the http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-9.html, but it did not worked.
I am using LFS-6.0 and windows machine is XP.
I'm looking for some tool that can convert text, ideally from UTF-8 (but ISO-8859-2 and WINDOWS-1250 would be fine) into ASCII/ISO-8859-1?
I have seen some online transliteration tools but I need something for the command line (and iconv is refusing to convert the file).
@Tshepang I'm ok with you making the site better... but saying my content sucks grammatically, without pointing out errors... well it might make it hard to figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong.
@Tshepang I'm no mind reader, I have no idea what you think is grammatically wrong in some cases, and in others... well if I put a comma in the wrong spot, don't you think you could just go ahead and deal with it
I need a very simple script which does this:
mogrify -resize $1x$2^ -gravity center -crop $1x$2+0+0 $3
so that I can call it in this way:
cropresize.sh 110 110 *.png
the problem is that the shell expands the *.png pattern instead of passing it as it is to the script.
How can I achieve this...

sudo su -
//enter password

exit
//login again straight away
sudo su -
The second invocation of sudo does not request a password because even though I have logged out again, I am still within some time limit meaning that I do not need to be prompted for my password a...
I am having a problem with my ubuntu ext3 filesystem. I can't boot from it or mount the volume when running live CD.

Mod4+S and Mod4+M (or Super+S and Super+M) are mapped to invoking the session management menu (on the rightmost of the GNOME panel), and to minimizing the current window. How can I disable them? They are not shown in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.
[Disclaimer: I was initially a little nervous about posting this here, so I asked on Meta if discussing homebrew / modding was acceptable. Based on the response I've gotten from several veteran members, I've gone ahead and posted this thread. Here is the link on Meta.]

Please can somebody tell me how to remove the No mail. notification on Ubuntu 10.10 Server?

I am running a dokuwiki on an apache webserver. Usually I put media files into the directory /var/lib/dokuwiki/data/media. However, to be more flexible and to save disk space, it would be nice to use symbolic links instead of copying files to that directory.
Now my question is:

I am trying to get wireless working a lenovo g560. I tried following the instructions on the debian site here http://wiki.debian.org/wl but it is not working. At step 7 I get an error that modprobe does not exist. Anybody know of a straightforward tutorial or got any tips?

The only migration destination I found is UL meta (here). I say this because I saw that SO has five. Destinations I can think for are SO, SU, AU.
