Jan 17	comment	Why does /var/lock/tt-rss keep being deleted after reboot? Thank you. I made a startup script (bash) in init.d to make the folder. I used this guide: jonathonhill.net/2009-04-23/…
Dec 10	comment	How can I make windows minimize using middle mouse button on title bar in Xubuntu? Thanks so much for this. I will give it a go :)
Nov 29	comment	How do I change the formatting of Xubuntu desktop icon text? It worked! Thanks!
Oct 23	comment	Does anyone know how to connect to a terminal services gateway using a RDP V6 compatible client in Ubuntu 12.04? I would also like this.
May 16	comment	How can I automount my ecryptfs ~/.private directory without logging in? Thank you so much! Once per boot's not so bad, especially as a server that stays on mostly. This is great!
May 13	comment	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS often get a black screen with mouse cursor when trying to resume from lock screen. I did reinstall it and haven't had the problem since! Funny though, I never had SW Center open anyway. Thanks though!
May 11	comment	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS often get a black screen with mouse cursor when trying to resume from lock screen. I'm having the EXACT problem, but I don't have Software Centre open. I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04. I am using a HDMI connection. After resuming from suspend, sometimes screen will be blank with mouse cursor, and mouse changes to I-beam where the password box normally is. I can enter my pw and login but still can only see the mouse only. So same issue, just no SW Center running. I will try reinstalling it anyway as it worked for you...
Feb 11	comment	stunnel changes https pages to http when clicking a link Thank you, you have answered my question, this is exactly what I need. But I can't mark as answer. If you can Answer it using button below I will mark it answered :)
Feb 11	comment	stunnel changes https pages to http when clicking a link Thank you, I will look into this. Apache documentation on Ubuntu says "The default HTTPS configuration will use a certificate and key generated by the ssl-cert package. They are good for testing, but the auto-generated certificate and key should be replaced by a certificate specific to the site or server". Is it therefore not safe for me to just use the key that comes with or is generated by it?
Jan 10	comment	What is the current state of the Ubuntu Professional certification? Thanks for the update
Dec 24	comment	What is the current state of the Ubuntu Professional certification? Part of me wants to have these as I get more involved with Linux and want these to show for it. Also at work, we have started using Linux more and more and they know I have a real interest for it and suggested I take a course of any sort. I chose Linux and they were happy to help pay for the exams. Not sure if it will directly involve pay but I get to learn an area I'm genuinely interested in and possibly have it paid for. Good for a CV too.
Dec 18	comment	Is there a simple, plaintext, lightweight hosted web-based text editor? Thanks both. DokuWiki is brilliant and quite simple. I like the way a wiki page is a simple text file on the filesystem which I can edit.
Dec 18	comment	Is there a simple, plaintext, lightweight hosted web-based text editor? Thanks. I've just tried DokuWiki which was very easy to set up. It does what I need. It lets me connect to it over the web from any device, edit my notes, and save it. It's also hosted by myself. But even a wiki is a bit much for my needs. Is there something similar (self-hosted, online-accessible), but is just a plain and simple note-taking web-based interface? Very ultra lightweight? I just want to take notes but host the note myself.
Dec 17	comment	What command can mount an SSH share and launch a file? The script you have made looks very good, thanks. Is there a way to access the remote file via SSH without mounting the share? Lets assume the file is a text file, and I want to open it with gedit on my local machine. Or alternatively, if it must mount the share, can it avoid asking me for the remote server's password?
Dec 16	comment	How can I stop Gnome Shell's drive pop up notifications? Hopefully this customisability will come to Gnome Shell in future. I like Shell's extensions but it's back to Unity for me (which I actually quite like).
Dec 15	comment	What is the current state of the Ubuntu Professional certification? Instead of waiting any longer, I have decided to do the CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI exams instead. If I pass the two CompTIA exams and get a certificate, it automatically makes you eligible for a certification in LPIC-1, and after you get that, it automatically makes you eligible for a certification with Novell. I have confirmed this from the LPI directly. CompTIA Linux+ > LPIC-1 > Novell CLA. Please see these 3 links: goo.gl/w1f3r, goo.gl/2Z8nw, goo.gl/Zt6iY. You only have to pass the CompTIA exams to get all those certifications (confirmed).
Dec 15	comment	What is the current state of the Ubuntu Professional certification? Thanks, have done the same, will post too if they get back.
Dec 10	comment	What command can delete folders older than X days or X months? Solved using: rm -rf "/target/directory with spaces/"*
Dec 10	comment	What command can delete folders older than X days or X months? That's almost perfect, thanks. Is there a way so it doesn't delete the actual folder I'm searching in? So only folders within the folder get deleted? I'm currently doing "find "/home/user/folder/" -mtime +7 -exec rm -r {} \;", but it deleted the folder called "folder" as well if the time matches. I only want subfolders deleted older than 7 days.
Dec 10	comment	How can I make a script to place files older than each day before into their own folder? Thanks. Your idea has got me thinking. Instead of tar-ing them, is there a command I can use, to put all files created on its creation date, move into a folder with the same date? And this command can be run as a cron job daily for example. Any way to do this? And of course, any files created after the command has run, should still go into the same correct folder if the command is soon run again.
