comment Issues checking out code from Google Code
This worked perfectly for my needs this time, but I imagine some repositories are only available over an SSL connection.

comment Crontab and Shell Script not Executing
@JacobClark Yep crontab -e is how I edited the crontab. I added it to the crontab, waited till the clock hit the right time, then checked and saw that the file was updated. Note that if you edit your crontab only a minute or two before it's supposed to trigger a job, the job probably won't be triggered. Wait another 5 minutes.

@JacobClark Works for me on Ubuntu 12.10 exactly as I wrote it after the "what you actually want" part.

comment Unable to mount smb share. “Please select another viewer and try again”
@oznah Ya I didn't realize your server was a Windows box. However, the source of the problem might be the same. Remember my observation that Nautilus will connect as a guest user whenever it can. Can you find the Windows equivalent of "Guest Ok = No"? I mean don't allow any access to the share (not even read or list contents) unless it's with a valid login.

comment Unable to mount smb share. “Please select another viewer and try again”
@oznah Yep. All settings for Samba go into smb.conf. guest ok is a per-share setting, so it's set for each directory you have shared. If you don't have it set, it defaults to "No". Information on this and all the other settings can be found from the command man smb.conf. If you prefer reading it from a web page (like I do), the same information is on samba.org: samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html

comment ethernet disconnected, shows up in ifconfig
This works for me, but the problem reappears whenever I shutdown while connected to a wireless network, then start back up without being connected to a network. I'm not able to connect to any Wi-Fi hot-spots until I perform these steps.

I'm having the same problem as the original poster, but this didn't solve my problem. My interfaces file matches yours. The problem happens whenever I shutdown while connected to a wired network, then start back up without being connected to any network. I can't connect to WiFi hot-spots.
