Are they both solving the same problem? Or are they for two different sets of problems? If so for what i it better to use vagrant, and for what better to use juju?
txwikinger's questions
In (K)ubuntu, how can I run more than one Firefox profile simultaneously? I need this to run different websites with different extensions.
The Xorg server/client architecture allows for network transparency which means it is possible to start x-clients on a remote machine and display the GUI on the local machine (i.e. via x-forwarding by using ssh).
Will Wayland have the same or a similar way of allowing to display the GUIs of applications on a different system than they are running?
Will this feature be required to be there, before any steps are taken to replace Xorg with Wayland on Ubuntu systems?
How can I create and use my own boot splash screen?
Where can I find all the milestones of the current development release?
How can I find an always updated list of repository mirrors?
On the desktops, the package managers have convenient ways to change the sources.list for apt-get between different mirrors.
Is there a similar menu-kind of way of doing this from the command line (i.e. on a server)?
(I am not looking for answer like using sed or manually editing the sources.list file, I know how to do that. I am looking for some application that knows the addresses of the mirrors similar to the package manager GUIs).
I have problems transferring binary programs to a micro-controller prototype board when using ubuntu/kubuntu to mount the board via usb. With MacOS and Windows there are no problems. I have found the writing from Ubuntu definitely changes the written file. I suspect that the write caching is the problem. How can I disable it, or what else might be the problem.
I would like to replace the non-open lpcxpresso IDE with a free IDE. Any pointers how to do it best? How can I point one of the existing IDEs to use the arm gcc compiler?
In order to allow php5.2 being used on lucid, I created a ppa (ppa:txwikinger/php5.2) and build several php5.2 packages there. In order to prefer those packages I have given instructions to pin them. However, the packages php5-mcrypt and php5-imap do not correctly load due to the dependency to phpapi, even phpapi is provided by i.e. php5-cgi, php5-cli which are available. What is the problem?
Often I need to create packages which another package depend on (i.e. build dependencies). Instead of having all those packages first being build in my ppa (which can sometimes take some time), I would like to use the results directory from pbuilder as a source for the pbuilder itself.
How can I do this? Can I do this via a hook?
Our global jam is coming up this weekend, and I wonder what we can do to increase participation and also collaboration between the different events. Maybe we still have time to implement some of the suggestions.
I have a couple of VMs running on images instead of lvms. I am not concerned about downtime but just about convenience of the process.
I am not talking about shutdown
and reboot
commands. I want to initiate the same routine from command line that would be performed if I would press the logout/reboot/shutdown button inside the KDE desktop.
Where can I find such a plugin?
I tried to install the provider plugin for thunderbird, but it said my release was too old. I have the lastest release of thunderbird in the lucid archives.
Is there a way I can see all the versions that are in the archives that I have configured in sources.list. I can see the last version of each archive withapt-get policy
, but how can I see them all?
Is there any way that this can also include PPA and anything in sources.list.d?
I have reported a bug that occurs in Karmic on launchpad, and I have been asked to re-test it on lucid or maverick. How can I do this best?
