@Rinzwind: three pages of information... :D

you said so

with the mesa utils

well it is 14 but most of it is memory config or something like that

depends on page length as well :P

6:33 PM

did you see my other answer? >:D

the terminal shot?

it would not let me save it with just an image :Z

too little for a good answer, I know. URLs are always good fillers.

check his comment :X

6:37 PM

hmmm can you sudo su from a script? doubt it :X

why do ppl always threaten us with them going back to Windows?

You need to invoke the script from su, I think

yeah would be my guess.

htorque

if you don't help me i'll shoot my leg!

lol still - still laughing!

hmm?

about?

@Lekensteyn grrr >:D

hmm sudo -i does not work?

@htorque I will always help you. Might be the wrong way :=D

6:48 PM

@Rinzwind What do you expect -i to do?

no it was Lekensteyn that said that ;)

someone asked how to execute echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs from in a script and I said do sudo su 1st and then execute the script from root

and he said 'sudo -i' infront of the echo

Could use sudo tee too :)

I always forget about tee :-X

and now enzotib beat me to it

ah well it's not a competition :D :D :D

A: Deactivate F1 and F10 keybindings?

Wrote an answer that answers both parts of the question:

Disabling the F1 shortcut In a gnome-terminal open up Edit ➜ Keyboard Shortcuts. Scroll down to the Help/Contents shortcut, click where it says "F1" and hit Backspace: Disabling the F10 shortcut Install the compizconfig-settings-manager package. Open up CompizConfig Settings Manager. ...

@DoR yeah! that's how you get er done!

6:56 PM

@DoR Mega answer is mega win

@JorgeCastro Should we close this question then?

Q: Disable F1 in terminal

I found this Deactivate F1 and F10 keybindings? but it doesn't describe how F1 could be disabled. Is there a way that I can stop the F1 key from showing help? I do click it many times when I'm tired and when I want to press F2 (save in MC editor)

yeah vote to close and leave a comment that you've added a bunch of detail

+1 on close votes :)

Hello @all

yo!

7:09 PM

@Rinzwind what were you talking about, sudo -i?

sorry wasn't you but fossfreedom :D

I blame it on playing 19 hours of white knight chronicles ;)

Q: How to add the "shutdown applet" back after installing `ubuntu-desktop`

7:55 PM

I just installed Ubuntu Server then did sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop startx But the desktop is missing the icons/applets on the top right: shutdown, etc. I want the shutdown + network only for now. How do I add it back?

desktop gnome-panel

easy one

I am pretty sure the package is indicator-applet-complete

but I am not sure

htorque

good night, everyone!

@htorque Goodbye!

Nighto @htorque!

Night @htorque

8:22 PM

Bedtime for me too - CU all

Lekensteyn

Good night @Takkat

Q: How to make user created software and folder searchable by Unity?

8:39 PM

I have created a new folder in home directory, and put a downloaded program in this folder, how to make both this folder and program searchable by the system when using quick launch/search utility?

11.04 unity zeitgeist

I don't have time to answer this one, but the answer is to make it a .desktop file

and then you copy it into .local/something or other

wherever all the other desktop files are

(If someone wants to investigate it)

.local/share/applications, aha!

Just edited an answer and then flagged it for not being an answer :P :D

@rinzwind what do you say now ;)

cheap rep :P

I mean low rep....

why can't you have code marksin a title? @JorgeCastro @MarcoCeppi

@Alvar Because, code doesn't belong in the title :)

Q: "FIXING RECURSIVE FAULT BUT REBOOT IS NEEDED!" During installation

@MarcoCeppi you jsut put code in the title lol ;)

I'm a big fan of Ubuntu. I've installed it on every computer I had. But they were always 32-bit computers. And I've never had an experience with 64-bit computers. I've made a live USB and CD but with both I get the same error: FIXING RECURSIVE FAULT BUT REBOOT IS NEEDED! Hardware Specificatio...

11.04 64-bit installation-problem

I just put quotes, not code.

the message is a output of a error message

back ticks don't work in the platform

for titles

10:25 PM

@MarcoCeppi lame

Titles are what things will likely be searched as

@MarcoCeppi I've never been able to search something succesfully, I alwyas have to start a question and then get suggestions.... or get it closed and then delete it myself

A: Why do I need to republish a file when I update it?

10:40 PM

From Chipaca's (Ubuntu One dev) answer to a similar question: However, if you edit it with an editor that renames the file, creates a new one, copies the content in and then deletes the original (as most editors do), and syncdaemon is running, it will see the rename and the delete and your ...

Is there anything in there that is wrong? I'm not sure about all of it.

flag it? for information might not be true?

flag my own answer?!

right... I didn't read it before I advised you :P

ask @ marcoCeppi or any other moderator...

if they are a slepp wake em with a @NAME

@MarcoCeppi why can't you see how a title is going to look after you post it? it's very annoying! :(
