I was just curious if there is a web browser for ubuntu that has the option to not show images and other resources like flash and videos for example.
(I do recall being able to play with a browser that uses the terminal to render the html page but do I have options other than that one?)
How do I stop Apache2 from automatically starting on boot? I can't seem to find an option that disables the automatic start-up when I turn on the machine.
I was trying to make some scripts dynamic by including the environment variable $LOGNAME and even $HOME. but it don't seem to work when placed in a launcher.
I am trying to make code a bit more dynamic
/home/simon/Desktop/firefox_test.bash
I tried
$HOME/Desktop/firefox_test.bash
and
/home/$LOGNAME/Desktop/firefox_test.html
but it don't seem to read the environment variables.
Is it possible to set a timer for a running application and save that data somewhere global?
I am doing some volunteer work in an internet cafe where kids are the main users and we would like to get them to do tux math for 10 minutes which they don't do because of the many distractions on the internet.
So I was wondering if getting the amount of time an application has been run is possible.
How do you include the root password, say for shutting down an ubuntu machine?
like,
sudo shutdown now
is it possible to include the password on this 1 line? like an extra parameter?
reason for this is I am trying to play with this app named azr remote prompt which lets you send commands from your blackberry to your ubuntu machine and it seems like a 1 way trip. you send commands, but you don't get any response from the computer.
