Feb 18, 2011Recently something got updated and for a short while, before I restarted, the changing workspaces animation changed to something I liked better than the usual arrows boxes, but after the restart it changed back. The thing I liked was that when I use ctrl + alt to change to a different workspace, the animation shows what programs and windows are open at a particular workspace. This happened twice already and always after an update and before the necessary restart. I looked for an option to modify that but didn't find anything so far. I am using ubuntu 10.04. How can I change these options to my liking?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Firefox Change Locales With Gnome Automatically
Apr 25, 2010I have my 10.04 set up with english (us and gb) as well as spanish languages installed.
I have firefox 3.6.3 compiled and installed for a 64 bit system. The firefox source code comes only with en-US locale, so I obtained en-GB.jar and es-ES.jar (as well as their manifests) from firefox.com and added them manually to my chrome directory.
This had worked in the past, when I'd logout and switch the gnome locale to es-ES firefox would come up in es-ES etc, but for some reason firefox will only start up in en-US now.
How can I fix this to match the desired behaviour?

Feb 20, 2010I want to find the cumulative CPU time used by each process between two points (defined by the user, e.g. running a command or clicking a button).
A first stab at this would be running
Code:

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Automatically Change Zshrc For Different OS
Feb 9, 2011I am currently storing most of my dotfiles in a git repository to make keeping them in sync across all my computers easier. I've just recently acquired a Macbook so now have to have all my dotfiles supporting the differences between Linux and Darwin. The first incompatability that I have encountered is colour coding ls, in Linux this is the flag --color=auto and for Darwin it is -G.
My first attempt at making my .zshrc portable is to do the following:
case `uname` in
Darwin)
alias ls='ls -FG'
;;
Linux)
alias ls='ls -F --color=auto'
;;
esac
Once I find a few more things to change I'll probably pull the computer specific stuff out to separate files to keep it a bit cleaner. What I'm mainly wondering is if there is a better way to do this other than using `uname` to determine which stuff to run.
General :: How To Change User Groups Automatically
Jun 16, 2011I've created a set of users using the newusers command. Unfortunatelly ive messed up and added all users to the 1000 group as primary group instead of giving the group argument as null what would add them to a new group. To make things clear:
The entries should be
user:password:::User Name:/home/user:/bin/bash
but I did
user:password::1000:User Name:/home/user:/bin/bash
I need to create the missing groups. A simple fix could be do a for loop creating a group with the name of each user in my file and then adding the users to it. Are there any dangers of doing it? What impact could this change have? Are there any safer ways?
A combination of the following commands:
Quote:
Add users to a group with the gpasswd command:
# gpasswd -a [user] [group]
To delete existing groups:
# groupdel [group]
To remove users from a group:
# gpasswd -d [user] [group]
If the user is currently logged in, he/she must log out and in again for the change to have effect.
Quote:
for i in (names)
do groupadd $i
gpasswd -a $i $i
Assuming I've created all users in group 1000 I could remove them from it with
Quote:
# gpasswd -d [user] [group]
