Enabling bash completion

Uncomment the following in /etc/bash.bashrc


if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
f

Hijacked keyboard shortcut

Somehow when I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, my "Shift + f" launches firefox.

Apparently that keybinding was assigned to run command_1 in metacity which was assigned to launch firefox. To disable it go to,

gconf > apps > metacity > global_keybindings

Error messages for Rails 3

# Deprecated

<%= error_messages_for :question %>

# Use partial in app/views/shared

<% if target.errors.any? %>  

<%= pluralize(target.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this record from being saved:

    <% target.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
  • <%= msg %>
  • <% end %>
<% end %> # Render partial in view <%= render "shared/error_messages", :target => @question %>
