When I was using Ubuntu 10.04 I used the command eject -i 1 to prevent the CD drawer being opened when the button was pressed. Now I have upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 this command no longer works. It gives the same output as it did under 10.04:
colin@ubuntu-11-10:~$ eject -i 1
CD-Drive may NOT be ejected with device button
but the CD drawer opens anyway when you press the button.
Is there a way I can fix this command or another way to stop the drawer opening?
My Ubuntu 11.10 desktop has an option to suspend when inactive (under System Settings > Power) but no option to hibernate. How can I hibernate it after a period of inactivity?
I've got several Ubuntu 10.10 servers which should all be set to do automatic security updates.
Is there any way I could get them to send me an email when they apply updates (particularly if they fail)?
I'm using r-u-on to monitor availability, disk space etc but the security updates are very important and I don't have a good way to monitor them.
I could possibly script something myself but I figured it's the kind of thing that's probably been solved many times already.
On the right click menu (in Nautilus, desktop, etc), there is a "compress" option. Is there any way to make "zip" the default format for this?
