| travisHAZE | Who wants to help me kill my system by helping me learn dangerous ubuntu commands and how to combat them | 02:08 |
|---|---|---|
| travisHAZE | I know of fork while fork | 02:09 |
| mhall119 | I don't think fork bombs work anymore | 03:13 |
| travisHAZE | now I have to test it | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | go for it | 03:14 |
| travisHAZE | fork didn't work | 03:14 |
| travisHAZE | Isn't there another way to fork? | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | fork has to work | 03:14 |
| travisHAZE | No command 'fork' found, did you mean: | 03:14 |
| mhall119 | it's not a command | 03:15 |
| travisHAZE | Someone on the ubt forums told me not to enter xxx into term | 03:15 |
| mhall119 | man fork | 03:15 |
| mhall119 | don't believe everything you read on the internet | 03:15 |
| travisHAZE | fair enough | 03:15 |
| travisHAZE | So lets say I wanted to fork init | 03:17 |
| travisHAZE | 1_t fork? | 03:17 |

| maxolasersquad | trav|zzz: Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb all the way down to the end. It shows how to defuse and prevent Fork Bombs from happening. | 14:24 |
| maxolasersquad | A week ago I could type in the name of a Nautilus bookmakr into the launcher and a lense would come up with that bookmark. Starting this week (maybe a little sooner) that is gone. Anyone know anything about this? | 16:06 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: nope | 16:06 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: on Oneiric or Precise? | 16:06 |
| maxolasersquad | Oneiric | 16:35 |
| maxolasersquad | mhall119: ^^ | 16:35 |
| balloons | maxlasersquad: we can check the package updates to see if something changed | 16:36 |
| balloons | but you can also try creating a new user and see if they exhibit the old behavoir.. Or if your ok with resetting any customizations you've done, you can run unity --reset yourself and get the same effect of resetting your desktop to default | 16:37 |
| maxolasersquad | I have a bookmark named G: which is a bookmark to the same SAMBA share the Windows users have mapped to their G:\ | 16:37 |
| balloons | if things act properly, then we can assume it's a setting someplace :-) | 16:37 |
| maxolasersquad | balloons: Interesting. What kinds of things does it reset? I don't think I've made any costumizations so I should be safe. | 16:37 |
| maxolasersquad | Do I need to log out/in for unity --reset to take effect? | 16:38 |
| balloons | I don't know off the top of my head what all it resets, but I have ran it in the past without issue | 16:39 |
| balloons | you odn't need to login/logout | 16:39 |
| balloons | it actually fires up metacity for a minute, then fixes things and finally restarts unity | 16:39 |
| balloons | pretty slick | 16:39 |
| maxolasersquad | That was fun, but didn't fix the issue. | 16:42 |
| balloons | /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log | 16:43 |
| balloons | try checking your recently updated packages then | 16:43 |
| balloons | and see if something unity or launcher related updated recently | 16:43 |
| balloons | did you run any updates? | 16:43 |
| maxolasersquad | I run updates every day, I'm on the dev builds of Firefox and Chromium. | 16:44 |
| balloons | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUpdateManager | 16:44 |
| balloons | whoops.. not what I wanted to link | 16:45 |
| balloons | /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log | 16:45 |
| balloons | there are some others.. check and see if anything changed recently | 16:46 |
| DammitJim | ridiculously silly question: how do you use git to get files from a repo? | 16:46 |
| maxolasersquad | git clone <repo> | 16:47 |
| maxolasersquad | DammitJim: ^^ | 16:47 |
| DammitJim | oh, clone.. not checkout | 16:47 |
| DammitJim | thanks | 16:47 |
| maxolasersquad | Checkout is for switching branches. | 16:47 |
| maxolasersquad | np. | 16:47 |
| DammitJim | yikes | 16:47 |
| maxolasersquad | apt.log only has information from 2011-10-06 | 16:50 |
| maxolasersquad | information for 2011-10-06 | 16:50 |
| maxolasersquad | No other dates in the log. | 16:50 |
