@Gizmo: From what I can see, I think the spam in the past 6 months or so has been greatly reduced from what it was last year. If that trend...
Spam is definitely a problem, and we do use scripts to help combat it, as well as common sense by the admins. 25 posts to open posting has been in...
Sorry, I've been afk all day with some business. George, everything with 'Hit' or 'Ign' is normal. But that Chrome server isn't syncing properly...
OK, that's good. sudo works and accepts your password normally. I think you entered your password wrong the first time. What happened this time is...
OK George, that is what exactly what is supposed to happen. 'su <enter> + password <enter>' opens a root terminal prompt [the # thingy]. DO NOT do...
You do not need sudo for the 'ls' command. You would only need to sudo for apt-get. What happens when you type su?
The first command I gave you will request a password, as sudo always does. Then it should sync your package database with the repo servers. If one...
@cloasters and all: 2 new posts moved to new thread:...
George, open a terminal, and see if this works: sudo apt-get update Let me know what it tells you in the terminal. If it upchucks and/or...
From USA Today: SAN FRANCISCO — Although the government officially withdrew from its battle against Apple Monday, many observers sense the tech...
[media] Great video, watch it. It's hard to believe how things were only 30 years ago. Nice modem. Nice 'dial up' on rotary phone, too. Gotta...

Can you UN-tick the box to the left of 'enable automatic login'? @George: sudo mdmsetup Enter your password, and go to the autologin page. Untick...
@Daniel~ In the autologin screenshot, what does it look like when you dropdown the 'enable automatic login/daniel' pane? I am pretty sure this is...
I agree that it isn't the appropriate arena for it, but I don't think the guy was 'trolling'. I was more interested in the thought process than in...
@Daniel~, I need to see the window you raise after entering the password. 'Security' tab.
OK, that's done. Your sudo/keyring problem is gone. Now, to remove the autologin, try this. I was waiting for Daniel to try it first, but he...
@ Daniel @ Booman: OK, looks like George's sudo problem is most likely solved. While I wait for him to confirm this, can one of you Mint users...
George, I'll help you with the autologin later. Stand by for that. First, we need to test. Can you sudo now? Try: sudo fdisk -l [that is a...
Nope, if keyrings-OLD is there, you have successfully renamed the directory. I'm satisfied with that. Right, you're going to reboot now. One thing...
Separate names with a comma.
