I ran into the broken nvidia drivers after updating mesa yesterday but today I was able to fix it with sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx startx I wouldn't call the issue fixed yet because nvidia-glx still gets removed but it's definite...

Worked perfectly, thanks!

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 ...

I like youtube-dl, it's the simplest and easiest to use I've found. Run

Code: Select all

man youtube-dl

for a list of its options.

What should I install from the extensive list on Winetricks?

Unless the Wine AppDB page ( http://appdb.winehq.org/ ) for your program says to install something using winetricks, don't.

This will show you all running cups processes: ps aux | grep -v grep | grep cups My output (cups running as it should) looks like this: verdow@techcage-07 ~ $ ps aux | grep -v grep | grep cups root 1748 0.0 0.1 76272 2376 ?

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

RedWagon

Thanks antonone, that works great. There was a small mistake though, the hours line should look like this:

Code: Select all

hour=$((time/60/60%24))

otherwise it shows total hours and not just hours for that day.

I'm trying to format the output of uptime from

Code: Select all

 10:34:34 up 3 days,  1:02, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

to

Code: Select all

3 days,  1:02

by cutting everything before "up " and everything after ", load" in bash.

RedWagon

can I use this to allow family accounts to sudo with my password but not theirs?

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 run

Code: Select all

su admin_account

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...

How can i remove or change the destination ??????????

Menu -> Home -> View -> uncheck Show Hidden Files
or just hit ctrl-h

RedWagon

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.

RedWagon

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....

A bit confusing as the crit level was listed at part of the original code,

If you have any questions, this is the place to ask.
What grep crit does is look at the output from the last command and then filters out all lines except ones that contain crit.

RedWagon

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...

I think this line is your problem:

Code: Select all

${voffset 8}${font Weather:size=18}${color3}xyz${color}${font}   ${color white}CPU Temperature: ${exec sensors |grep temp | cut -c13-40}

try running this:

Code: Select all

sensors |grep temp | cut -c13-40

in a terminal window and see if those numbers show up.

RedWagon

Actually, what I do is put my startup commands in /etc/rc.local, which works perfectly fine for me.

Nice tip! That's a much easier way to do the exact same thing I was getting at.

RedWagon

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.
