looks good :)

jokerdino, just FYI the corkscrew link in askubuntu.com/questions/107173/… actually tries to install the package for me, which probably isn't what you intended
Feb 23, 2012 18:18
not seeing any reference to it on the wiki
Feb 23, 2012 18:18
has the 12.10 name been chosen yet?
Feb 23, 2012 18:10
(if the schedule is right)
Feb 23, 2012 18:09
BetaFreeze starts today
Feb 23, 2012 18:09
almost I think
Feb 23, 2012 18:09
not really what?
Feb 23, 2012 18:09
should start to slow down soon I guess
Feb 23, 2012 18:08
quite a bit of package churn but thats teh way it goes ;)
Feb 23, 2012 18:08
I've been running 12.04 on my box a while already :D
Feb 23, 2012 18:03
500 helpful flags seems harder somehow :p
Feb 23, 2012 18:03
I was quite miffed when flag weight disappeared, I was well on my way to 250 weight or whatever it was :p
Feb 23, 2012 18:02
something along the lines of you should try to clean it up, or vote on it, rather than flag it, but obviously there are always cases that can't be cleaned up
Feb 23, 2012 18:01
@OctavianDamiean et all, I think it was probably on meta, just someone giving their opinions on flags, not in any official capacity
Feb 23, 2012 17:51
got my name up in lights once or twice and hten happy ;)
Feb 23, 2012 17:50
@ThomasWard, just passed 3k huh? That passes quickly I found ;)
Feb 23, 2012 17:49
flags confuse me. some people say don't do it, cos you're just passing the buck, others say do it!
Feb 23, 2012 16:51
cast my votes on those two anyway :)
Feb 23, 2012 16:50
nitstorm: people other than mods can cast close votes
Feb 23, 2012 15:07
he gave up and reinstalled so we'll never know the cause
Feb 23, 2012 15:07
@jrg, sure, but he says so, see "edit 3"
Feb 23, 2012 15:06
@QuestionsFeed voting to close, asker has abandoned it
Feb 23, 2012 14:06
@Oli, also while I have the rep to edit his question I didn't really dare, I can only guess what his reactions to that would have been
Feb 23, 2012 14:05
anyway sorted now, it was just getting a bit out of control, thanks :)
Feb 23, 2012 14:04
@Oli, I started with the best of intentions :/
Feb 23, 2012 14:03
@Oli, that's MUCH better imo :)
Feb 23, 2012 13:39
My last comment was entirely unnecessary but he was starting to wind me up
Feb 23, 2012 13:38
Yeah I think that sounds fair
Feb 23, 2012 13:31
Am I out of order here, or is this guy getting unecessarily rude when I try to suggest his question could be terser? askubuntu.com/questions/106796/…
Dec 18, 2011 19:38
wish more people voted, be it up or down.
Dec 18, 2011 19:37
Roland, looks fine to me, I gave that an upvote hours ago :)
Dec 18, 2011 19:31
bodhi.zazen is a machine :o
Dec 18, 2011 19:29
I'm trying so hard to help someone with a shell scripting issue but they're just not reading my answers
Dec 18, 2011 00:23
It doesn't let people know it's active though, when it says an hour ago, I just joined and was surprised to see all this activity
Dec 15, 2011 00:41
@NobbZ, posted an answer to your rsync question
 
Nov 19, 2011 16:10
ok, glad its working, see you around :)
Nov 19, 2011 16:06
ah you did :)
Nov 19, 2011 16:03
You should probably post your own answer to say what it was for future people searching :)
Nov 19, 2011 15:57
glad to hear it :)
Nov 19, 2011 15:57
great!
Nov 19, 2011 15:21
:)
Nov 19, 2011 15:21
You may find it's already installed and you just have to select it in grub at boot time. Hold shift to see the menu if I remember rightly
Nov 19, 2011 15:21
Unless you have a good reason to, I'd stick with linux-image from oneiric and not worry about tracking mainline, to be honest :)
Nov 19, 2011 15:21
I've never used that mainline ppa, so you may need someone with more experience to remove that (don't know the package name to remove), but apt-get install linux-image will put the default oneiric one back. CAUTION DRAGONS if you remove the only working kernel you could be left with a non bootable system, be careful.
Nov 19, 2011 15:21
Kernel 3.0.1-030001-generic? Are you using mainline ppa or something? Sounds like it hasn't got iwl3945 buit-in or as a module.
Nov 19, 2011 15:21
Does modprobe iwl3945 bring anything to life? Does it alter the output of ifconfig/iwconfig at all?
Nov 19, 2011 15:21
Also dotkam.com/2008/11/17/configure-iwl3945-driver-on-ubuntu may be of some use, have you tried this?
