can anyone remind me of the piped command that was posted to upgrade firefox, please

just use the update manager

okay, so i installed some updates in the update manager, but then the system crashed during the installation and i had to reboot - now the updates aren't there anymore. does this mean that they we're installed successfully or not?

probably yes, first check updates then see if there's any new entries

how can i get a lsit of realtime processes in terminal

i also like pstree for a nice overview.

if i installed <<gaim>> using apt-get in which directory it is installed?

the executable is in /usr/bin/gaim, if that was what you where looking for

hey how can i startup with a terminal and not gnome?

'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' should do the trick.

i would like to import my mail from mozilla-mail to evolution. do you now how to do that ?

in evolution file>import

okay. then green checkmark to apply that?

not natively but you can install ext drivers

if i want to force shutdown an application that is stuck, how do i do?

killall *appname*

someone should write a short screen how-to on the wiki :)

you want to kill a single screen? ^ak

mouse cursors have never worked for me in any ubuntu, the normal state cursor never changes, only when hover cursor or in firefox etc.

joooo is gone. the mouse cursors usually appear if you disable compiz (not really an option in modern unity)
