Re: ubuntu-users Digest, Vol 83, Issue 5

re:re Belkin Wireless on 10.10; Thanx, I was pointed to a list of Linux
compatible cards and USB adaptors. The Belkin adaptor constantly dropped the
connection on Ubuntu, but works fine on my wife's XP. She's not complaining
about the endless clicking, so I'll just look around for a card meanwhile.
Thanx much. Bob H.

I have a Belkin Wireless G usb adapter too. Just out of curiosity. When
you say "barley works", do you mean: low transfer speeds? Seems to
crash / drop connection? I am using a router similar to yours too,
Linksys E1000 which is very similar internally to the WRT one I think
you mentioned. It can even take the WRT custom firmware, thats how
similar it is.

i'm interested in some of the new features in libreoffice 3.4.0, and
i can see that there are new .deb format packages here:

http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

i grabbed the two tarballs for 64-bit linux, un-gzipped them and can
see that the install tarball produces some 54 .deb packages. i
already have the current (3.3.2) version of libreoffice on this
system; are there any issues with installing the 3.4.0 packages as
well? has anyone done this, and can verify that they can co-exist
peacefully? thanks.

Thanks

I might be mistaken on what your trying to accomplish but heres a way to
do this. You will need to 'screen' package so type, then read the man
page on it, very easy to use.

sudo apt-get install screen

Heres how you do this. (A snip of code from our scripts)

screen -AdmS server /srv/serv/linux-start.sh

you would type...

screen -AdmS windowname directorytoscript-or-whatyouwanttorun

screen is a very very useful program, be sure to read the man page. Its
not hard to learn and will help you with bash shells.

Regards,
-Don

I too get those messages. I guess he is asking why his laptop would

Correct. Once the _restarting system_ message is shown, the system
stops (as
though halted), but no reboot. The command I'm issuing is 'shutdown -r
now'
...
All the processes are stopped, and then - no reboot. I've restarted
the
system by powering off and back on three times, and it behaves exactly
the
same way each time...

Maybe related:

Sorry, forgot to add this as well:
<http://www.mailrepository.com/ubuntu-bugs.lists.ubuntu.com/msg/3622427/



Yeah its a bug, but nothing to worry about nor does it harm anything.
System is halted but just didn't cycle so its safe to shutdown. I come
across it time to time in Virtual Machines.

Hi guys,


Pardon me jumping in without a solution, but I spied the GPG subject
and got all excited.


Can anyone recommend some good books (yes, I know?books are so 20th
century, but that's how I learn best), that cover GPG on Ubuntu in
particular as well as the Unixes ? I have to support some Ubuntu
boxes (hooray!), as well as Mac OS X 10.6.8 workstations.


Thanks guys,


Scott

You'd be surprised, books are probably the best way to learn about
computers and most technical guides I bought that are 500 - 1400 pages
come with a pdf so your not carrying a cinder block around with you
lol. :)

PGP & GPG: Email for the Practical Paranoid $16.13USD, never read it but
it has good reviews. Published date is 2006, so take note of that.

is it user-choice to give a name what he wants?
windowname is name to new opened terminal?

Thank you very much.
I am newbie to bash scripting.I tried your give code but it did not
work.It again did not open a new terminal and even did not ran the last
command.See the my code below.
May be i am wrong somewhere.
This is a a.sh file.

echo "what is your name"
read b
echo "your name is $b "
screen -AdmS try sudo wget
