[SOLVED] Samba Mount Points
I'm mounting shares via the Nautilus network browser and trying to access the mounted points via the command line. I have had no trouble doing this in the past but I know there are lots of changes with smb and cifs so there's probably just some new feature I haven't caught up on. verdow@techcage-07 ...

Re: ??: Install Propnet on Linux with Wine
Unless the Wine AppDB page ( http://appdb.winehq.org/ ) for your program says to install something using winetricks, don't.What should I install from the extensive list on Winetricks?

If you don't mind wasting a CD you can just try to boot from a 64 bit CD and see if it works.

Re: BASH scripting question
Thanks antonone, that works great. There was a small mistake though, the hours line should look like this:
otherwise it shows total hours and not just hours for that day.
Code: Select all
hour=$((time/60/60%24))

Re: understanding root, sudo, new install
not that I know of, but you can use su to run stuff under your name while they are logged in. Just open a terminal window and runcan I use this to allow family accounts to sudo with my password but not theirs?

Re: Linux alternative to Everything (tracker by Voidtools)
What is this for? Is this to find personal files on your desktop, find a random image for a web server, pull files for users in a business environment, etc...? locate might be what you're looking for, it reads an index of the file system and is very fast: http://www.devdaily.com/blog/post/linux-unix...

Re: Disconnected Router, why can't I connect directly?
First, power cycle the modem.
How do you have your computer connected to the modem and how many other devices are connected to the modem? Also, why did you ditch the router? Most all home routers have a built in firewall which offers you some extra protection online.

Re: understanding root, sudo, new install
EDIT: a couple people beat me to it, but there should still be some helpful info here... As I understand it the root account has no password and is effectively blocked. This is Ubunut's method. your root password is the same as the password you chose during the installation This is how Mint does it....

Re: Strange numbers on my Conky display
If you have any questions, this is the place to ask.A bit confusing as the crit level was listed at part of the original code,
What grep crit does is look at the output from the last command and then filters out all lines except ones that contain crit.

Re: Strange numbers on my Conky display
I did a few tests to try and it looks like I would have a similar issue if I had that command in my .conkyrc. If you add an extra | grep crit to the end of the command getting your temps it should fix it. (see the last command I ran) verdow@techcage-07 ~ $ sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual d...

Re: Strange numbers on my Conky display
I think this line is your problem:
try running this:
in a terminal window and see if those numbers show up.

Re: Run Command at Login/Startup
Nice tip! That's a much easier way to do the exact same thing I was getting at.Actually, what I do is put my startup commands in /etc/rc.local, which works perfectly fine for me.

Re: Run Command at Login/Startup
I would create an startup script for it in /etc/init.d/ and then add it to the proper run level. I don't know the specifics for Mint (never had to do this in an Ubuntu based distro) but that should get you on the right path.
