well a desktop environment is the included software. you could install just a window manager if you want
Would anyone know if there's a way to recover a file I accidentally overwrote in Ubuntu?
Since you're using Ubuntu, you're probably using ext2, 3 or 4.
That means no.

Oh, alright. Thanks.
[QUOTE=dArKnEsS_2;28424766]Are you talking about GRUB? GRUB is just a little thing that will show up when you start your computer that will give you the option of starting Windows Vista and Ubuntu. It's perfectly fine.

That, and when the directions went to "put your USB above your hard drive in the boot order," he was scared off by the lack of a mouse and the text-only jargon everywhere. If you're reading this, there's nothing to be scared of so long as you only mess with your boot order. It should be one of the first things you see. Before you can use Linux, you must lose your fear of your computer's inner workings.
I know nearly nothing about linux, how do i update the clock like on windows on a ubuntu server machine?
Is there just a command for it or do you have to make a script a mile long to do it like everything else?
You can use the date command.
I suggest typing in "man date"
This opens up the manual for date.
When you want to stop reading, press q.
It's at least 10 times more satisfying when you learn something on your own, even something as simple as that.

That didn't help much, that was just how to set/show the date.

Edit: just saw server, still asleep dammit.

My minecraft server makes it overload sometimes, and now it's a few minutes ahead. But it's taking in.. oh well
[I]If you want to sync your clock with NTP servers, [B] it is also very easy[/B][/I]
Not really. Fuck it, it's starting to catch up anyway :v:

That's the definition of updating the clock.
You can use date to change the time too.
I can't be arsed to check, I think you had to do:
date time and date in UNIX time.
So for example:
8th of March, 2011, 20:00 is
date 1299614400

But i just want to do something like "date --update" and it updates like normal.
God damn i never should have installed ubuntu on it :sigh:
You're right, you should have picked Debian :v: .
Then another guy runs in and start screaming "Install Arch on it, its not like anything was confusing enough already".
And then we scared of jet another person.

I always use this article to update the time because for some reason I can't remember the format.

You're trying to sync the clock with NTP right? Why not just use this:
[code]sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org[/code]
If it doesn't work try installing ntp first.
I'm just going to try Gentoo, unless that comes with a shitton of crappy software. Does it?
Gentoo doesn't come with anything, not even an installer.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix on my Packard Bell, now the touchpad doesn't work, I'm 99% certain it's not a Synaptics based touchpad either.
How do I enable UPnP on Ubuntu?

Isn't that something you do on your router?
Usually you go to your local IP address in firefox and change it in there.
My local IP is 192.168.15.1

I had to turn it on from Win****.
[QUOTE=faillord adam;28522406]I had to turn it on from Win****.[/QUOTE]
Why? What hindered you in doing so from Ubuntu?
Its not something you just flip on in your OS, its something the program and your router should support.

It's something that usually can be done from any mobile device supporting web browsers and password dialogs.
Mobile devices work a bit different, and was sort of talking about desktop operating systems.

If I connect a mobile device with wifi to my router, I can change my settings.

And what desktop OS can't do that?
