[02:08] <travisHAZE> Who wants to help me kill my system by helping me learn dangerous ubuntu commands and how to combat them
[02:09] <travisHAZE> I know of fork while fork
[03:13] <mhall119> I don't think fork bombs work anymore
[03:14] <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:
[03:15] <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
[03:17] <travisHAZE> So lets say I wanted to fork init
[03:17] <travisHAZE> 1_t fork?
[14:24] <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.
[16:06] <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?
[16:35] <maxolasersquad> Oneiric
[16:35] <maxolasersquad> mhall119: ^^
[16:36] <balloons> maxlasersquad: we can check the package updates to see if something changed
[16:37] <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.
[16:38] <maxolasersquad> Do I need to log out/in for unity --reset to take effect?
[16:39] <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
[16:42] <maxolasersquad> That was fun, but didn't fix the issue.
[16:43] <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?
[16:44] <maxolasersquad> I run updates every day, I'm on the dev builds of Firefox and Chromium.
[16:44] <balloons> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUpdateManager
[16:45] <balloons> whoops.. not what I wanted to link
[16:45] <balloons> /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log
[16:46] <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?
[16:47] <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
[16:50] <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.
