Ubuntu Ruby

My powerbook recently crapped out. Time to bring out the good ol' think pad. Got hold of my ubuntu disk and started installing.

Just found this meta package.


apt-get install ruby-full

Yay!

MacOSX and Ubuntu Samba Fix

This should fix issues with making MacOSX talk to Ubuntu (Samba)

  1. Make sure that you are not currently connected to any Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers and that you do not have any Samba or Windows-related error messages open.
  2. Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
  3. At the prompt, type: sudo pico /etc/nsmb.conf
  4. Press Return.
  5. Enter your password when prompted, then press Return again.
  6. You should see an empty file and a "New File" notice at the bottom of the pico window. If you do not see the "New File" notice, this file already exists.
