Don't know, the command I found is different to the standard update-manager -d and tested it, basically doing same as update-manager --devel-release . The article was explicit to say this would not work with Ubuntu's before 10.04 but some diggin' brings out that it even can get to work from H.Heron 8.04 LTS http://linuxers.org/book/export/html/793 listing out several upgrade paths. My Lucid is anyway already half way Mavericked, so don't expect it to produce any problems when I'm ready to run it.... going to wait a little longer for such things as:


Today went digging again on why my WiFi would sometimes not reconnect automatically causing BOINC to log many failed transfer attempts and found a few module lines to add, set the BSSID/Router MAC and unplugged and plugged the dongle many times to find if stable... it seems, the spinner on the panel bar revolves and now connects many times faster at that then before. Basically had 14 hours of 4 cores completed work sitting in the transfer window of BOINC, so that cleared fast including 4 CEP2 results... will be good to regain a few spots on the ranking ladder.

Stick with 6.10.17 or set the new "while processor usage..." to zero to disable in 6.10.58 if there are no user responsiveness impacts (function is getting a few fixes in 6.12). The option is now also available on the website device profile with a rather more intelligent text than Berkeley came up with.

edit: spellin' ;-)

Tried Byobo, a tabbed terminal window for a while, then CliCompanion came along with a command pick list window on top. Get it from http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/okwiki/clicompanion or http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clicompanion-easy-w...mmand-line-in-ubuntu.html . You can define your own commands with syntax and add them to the pick list.

There's even a video out to see it in action:

One way to get the WiFi to drop was also to let the BOINCTasks window open from a remote host in the tasks or messages view... well so far things keep on running... scary... just touched the thick oak desk ;P

Still running stable... 10.04.1 whilst crontabbing the WIFI ... "It's Alive"

(Maybe linked already in another thread), Ditch Windows and come on over to a 4 part tutorial of The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)

Hey, on the 64 bit Linux version, Two (2) times faster Help Conquer Cancer and 1.6 times faster Clean Water... what you can get for free.

As those who've read through this thread from the top know, I early on adopted the Nautilus Elementary enhancements which make the file browser much nicer and elegant to operate, plus other bits got added such as the integrated Nautilus Terminal (v 0.7). In search of more grails, saw an article on adding commands to the context menu and stumbled on Nautilus Actions Configurations Tool. Sure enough it was in the Ubuntu Software Centre, but could not locate where it put it in the menu... more searching and more stumbling to find this great tutorial how to create your own command. See
http://techthrob.com/2010/07/07/adding-a-secu...us-file-manager-in-linux/ demonstrating right on topic, "Shred" and after adding a few more eradicate parms and restarting nautilus, it was there with it's own assigned icon. The target files got nicely overwritten, never to be seen again other than an endless series of 00000000. :O)))))))

PS: The tool sits in the system > preferences menu
