[02:08] Who wants to help me kill my system by helping me learn dangerous ubuntu commands and how to combat them [02:09] I know of fork while fork [03:13] I don't think fork bombs work anymore [03:14] now I have to test it [03:14] go for it [03:14] fork didn't work [03:14] Isn't there another way to fork? [03:14] fork has to work [03:14] No command 'fork' found, did you mean: [03:15] it's not a command [03:15] Someone on the ubt forums told me not to enter xxx into term [03:15] man fork [03:15] don't believe everything you read on the internet [03:15] fair enough [03:17] So lets say I wanted to fork init [03:17] 1_t fork? === travisHAZE is now known as trav|zzz [14:24] 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] 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] maxolasersquad: nope [16:06] maxolasersquad: on Oneiric or Precise? [16:35] Oneiric [16:35] mhall119: ^^ [16:36] maxlasersquad: we can check the package updates to see if something changed [16:37] 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] 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] if things act properly, then we can assume it's a setting someplace :-) [16:37] 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] Do I need to log out/in for unity --reset to take effect? [16:39] 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] you odn't need to login/logout [16:39] it actually fires up metacity for a minute, then fixes things and finally restarts unity [16:39] pretty slick [16:42] That was fun, but didn't fix the issue. [16:43] /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log [16:43] try checking your recently updated packages then [16:43] and see if something unity or launcher related updated recently [16:43] did you run any updates? [16:44] I run updates every day, I'm on the dev builds of Firefox and Chromium. [16:44] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUpdateManager [16:45] whoops.. not what I wanted to link [16:45] /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log [16:46] there are some others.. check and see if anything changed recently [16:46] ridiculously silly question: how do you use git to get files from a repo? [16:47] git clone [16:47] DammitJim: ^^ [16:47] oh, clone.. not checkout [16:47] thanks [16:47] Checkout is for switching branches. [16:47] np. [16:47] yikes [16:50] apt.log only has information from 2011-10-06 [16:50] information for 2011-10-06 [16:50] No other dates in the log. === travisHAZE is now known as trav|gonnagokill === trav|gonnagokill is now known as travisHAZE === me is now known as Guest24173 === Guest24173 is now known as DammitJim === maxh1 is now known as maxh
