I'd like to upgrade my netbook from Lucid Netbook Edition to Maverick. However, in trying the live USB, I found Unity to be unusable. Is it possible to use Maverick and keep the interface from the Lucid Netbook Edition?
<rant>Unity is painfully slow and missing several essential features. Also, who in their right mind would make a sidebar that's reminiscent of the MacOS dock? Mixing launchers with icons for currently-open programs is brain dead.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 only be dismayed to find ${HOME}/bin FIRST IN THE PATH. I blogged about it at my blog (I sudo an xterm rather than just sudoing to get a different background for the sudo'd xterm): [url]
I agree that some new user should probably not be logging on as root. But if the replacement for 'ls' is in their ${HOME}/bin/ the sudo'd shell inherits the same PATH, umask, and everything else! In general I take a dim view of a sudo only way of doing things. It seems to cause more problems than it solves for disciplined, knowledgeable users. In the case of Ubuntu it caused me to create a /root folder for root to reset the umask back from 077 which is what I use over to 022 which is what root should use. The /root/.profile of course made sure there is no /home/me/bin in the sudo'd PATH. It didn't matter because somebody is not just SETTING the file perms and is instead calculating them based off of modifications to the umask. JUST SET THEM! I ran into a problem with GRUB getting things fouled up because I was having to remove the new kernels and instead of using the command line option (much prefereable) used Synaptic Manager instead: [url]
In fhe case of an infection living in a user's file space you really should want to go in to clean it out as some other user than the user that is infected. Having said that the hackers seem to be going for the whole enchilada right off the bat. A WARNING is in order here. DO NOT USE A ROOT ACCOUNT OR SUDO FOR NORMAL TASKS! But please put ${HOME}/bin last in the PATH or preferably don't even put it in the PATH at all. Let users add it themselves if they want it. Also once hackers figure out that hijacking a sudo tty (from what I just read else-where here I would say several hackers are working on doing that right now - sendmail my ****) is a dandy way of doing things you really will need to provide for ways of cleaning a user infestation out by going at it some other way than through that infected user. A lot of Ubuntu users have only one login account, the one they created when they set the machine up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUnity is too slow and buggy for me right now and I really really loved the old netbook remix interface (I wish they would make that one the default instead of Unity).Anyways, I read somewhere that I can still install it in maverick with a simple package install but I've looked everywhere for it and couldn't find the exact package.

I just need to set the path variable again so I just need the format. Or can anybody come up with how to set the path variable.
I want to add a path (/usr/sys) to the global $PATH. I will use this to test commands and scripts, which I don't want to be mixed up with regular commands. I've added the path to /etc/environment. When I start a terminal session under my user account, the path is included in the $PATH variable. However, when I start a root terminal, it is not. Is there a way to to change $PATH on one place where it will also affect the root terminal, or do I have to change it on 2 locations?

I was changing my sudoers file to give permission of using "sudo" command to all root commands, asking for the password. It works, it's fine. The problem I'm having is with the variable PATH to my user, I think.
In terminal:
normal user:
Code:
ataias@ataias-notebook:~/Downloads$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
super user:
Code:
root@ataias-notebook:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
As many commands are in /sbin/, root can use them without writing "/sbin/" but I can't do the same cause it's not in my path.
while root do this:
Code:
shutdown -h now
I should do:
Code:
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
and I want to use only

sudo shutdown -h now

I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting.

I tried to install JRE to my remote Suse 11 SP1 linux.After i finished with files i typed like
export PATH=<my jre path>
now i have no bash commands - typing ls causes
-bash: ls: command not found
i think that i should re-export my PATH to the right value but i don't know what it should be. I tried differend values
/etc/profile
/usr/bin
What steps have to be followed for having customized contents of PATH environment variable whenever new users are created? I require this in order to include a special directory into PATH variable; and this has to be a default one for all the newly created users.

I understand that the system knows the java is in a wrong place but if I do java -version it finds it correctly.

Looking at this, there are two weird entries (//sbin and //bin) which should both start '/usr' instead. I'm not sure how I've managed to change this, or how a piece of software I'm using has done it (more likely it was me I expect), but could anyone suggest which file to look in to correct it? If it makes a difference the machine is running CentOS 5.
