- We discuss the ways people can get involved in documentation for Ubuntu (and other projects)
- We get our first Just a Moment submission from you, the listener! (specifically Patrick Archibald). We’d love to hear your ‘Just A Moment’ on our voicemail! Details below. We used a buzzer effect in this segment from guitarguy1985 called buzzer.wav
- Ciemon gets a well deserved break from Command Linux Luurve, with a submission from Alan Bell
Pop the following text in a text file called showman.sh in your home directory
#!/bin/bash if [ -z $DISPLAY ] then #not in X so starting man in the foreground man $1 else #X is running so we can pop up the man page in a pretty window gnome-help man:$1 2>/dev/null & fi
make it executable with
chmod +x showman.sh
and edit your .bashrc file and at the end add
alias man="~/showman.sh"
