Re: [Ilugc] How to install ubuntu in corporate laptop?

[depp fx]

The log says it can't write to boot.ini under C:\
This is due to the admin privilege restrictions you mentioned before.
To make sure, you can try running this in command-line and see what it
says:
Start --> Run --> cmd
attrib -r -h -s c:\boot.ini.

Tomcat cannot find the alias for the server key within the specified

specified in the  element in the Tomcat configuration file.
REMINDER - keyAlias values may be case sensitive!

Okay..The problem arose when I used some commands & didn't know what
the columns stood for though I could see the data. Then I had to do a
man on the command, check what columns it displays & then interpret
the results. I guess we could call this answered for now.

Ahh...good! I don't understand the difficulty in understanding this
question. Anyways, let me break it up in to simpler sentences as
you've asked for. Is it possible that we make the terminal, by
default, display the output column names [like PID MEM etc] when you
run a command [and that could be any command].

For example: ls -lh returns an output without the column names. I
would want to see if there is a way to display the column names like
PERMS, OWNER, GROUP, FILENAME, SIZE etc by default.

>> All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.

I have a problem with sound in my computer. For every 11-12 seconds I
hear a loud crackle in my speakers for some reason. I only get it when
no app is using the sound card or when it is idle. Its kind of

access the CD/DVD drive. If I mute or if some app is using the sound
card then its perfectly fine. Can somebody suggest me on how could I

Again as I said, the hyperlink is a direct third-party link. So, it
definitely would not reflect in my access log. You would better understand
what I mean if you think it this way. abc.blogspot.com contains a link that
reads http://filehippo.com/CCCleanersetup.exe

So when someone clicks the link from my page, I would want to know how many
clicks were there on that CCCleaner link & that information is not stored in
blogspot servers access logs unless its a html redirect of some kind. Makes
sense?

This is close but I wouldn't wanna tile the windows in such a way rather I'd

[ilugc] Firefox hangs

[depp fx]

Hi

Is it possible that we have a task-manager for Firefox just like Chrome has
one? This comes real-handy when the browser hangs because one of the several
open tabs, hangs & you cannot afford to shut down the entire browser just
due to one culprit-tab.

Or is there a way if we could identify the problematic Firefox thread & kill
it alone via terminal?

Or is there already something that I haven;t noticed.

It makes sense when you say that the . & the .. are references to the

previous directory is explainable but why would you need a reference to a
