[ubuntu-uk] User Specific Desktop Defaults

2013-11-05 Thread Nigel Verity
Hi I have a machine with both Xfce and LXDE installed. The system default is Xfce, though the user has the option to select LXDE instead at the point of logging in. Is there any way to make profile A always log in using Xfce by default and profile B using LXDE? Thanks Nige

Hi there There seems to be a bit of strange behaviour in Ubuntu One under Trusty. I no longer get check marks on synchronised items when looking at Nautilus. Neither do I get the option to sync an item when I right click it in Nautilus. Other than that, Ubuntu One is working OK. It's

[ubuntu-uk] 1000 commands

2013-11-05 Thread Steven Roberts
I just discovered that, as a default, only the last 1000 commands are stored in the bash history file. Pretty horrified! A quick bit of googling gave me the fix to increase the limit etc. Not sure if this is just Ubuntu or linux in general. If you're into the command line 1000 commands don't

Shell scripts and aliases are the way to go for common commands. What on earth are you using more than a 1000 commands in your history for? I recommend making yourself aliases and scripts for your most used commands which you should be able to discern from your history file. On 5 Nov 2013, at

Cheers, guys, maybe you're right, I might need to up my game a bit in the Shell script stakes at least (and with aliases). To answer the question of why I need so much history - I forget stuff! I'd never be a programmer (I reckon) as I forget things - the command history is a reminder of
