Fixed it for me too, thanks man!

Well the first post on the forum thread said no larger than 800 by 600, but maybe I misread the instructions or something....

Here's the original size.

Here's mine. Sadly an 800x500 image cannot capture the glory that is my 17" laptop monitor (if I can even call it a laptop). But I was pretty pleased with my recent overhaul.

This is amazing.

Well done! I applaud you, sir.

albinootje,

You, sir, have just saved my day.

I salute you. Thanks very much for the solution--I did not know that directories and files needed different permissions.

Or that cp now has a...

Soundcheck, you are my hero.

Tried everything to fix sound on a SigmaTel 9228 on a Dell XPS m1730 on a nearly-new Intrepid installation. I had installed Amarok 2.0, and it had done something with...

I'm not sure if I have a hardware problem, or a display driver problem, but periodically when I'm in Linux (and pretty much only in Linux) this happens to my screen, and I have to reboot to fix it...

You've probably found the answer by now, but for any others who stumble upon this thread, the workaround of which I spoke is detailed in this thread:

So for a while, I've thought that this was a heat-related problem, but I've started to think differently.

The thing is, when I use the 177 driver, my screen goes all wonky after 30 minutes or so,...

My computer doesn't seem to be overheating either. I overheated it once in Wintendows playing Half-life 2 on 1920x1200 resolution, but it never gets about ~65 C in Linux. However, when it does run...

Never mind, I installed wicd and everything seems to be golden now.

Though my wifi has been working for something like 6 weeks, last night it randomly stopped. The only thing that I can think that I did was to install updates, per the update manager's insistence. ...

Hi all,

I've been having a problem recently where my screen goes all wonky; it's difficult to describe, but it becomes covered in fine lines that shimmer or skate across the screen and allow some...

It's from interfacelift.com, available here.

Glad you liked it!

Using a trick I saw someone else use on gnome-look.org, where he used symbolic fonts for icons. The ones here are stylebats, weather, and xspiralmental, all available free via googling. I have a...

Thanks, LeoSolaris. I was hoping it was GRUB because that'd be easier for me to fix...but Windows being broken what I was afraid of, but what I expected. I'll give it a go and see if I get any...

I vote "disc" for round shiny thing, "disk" for clicky magnetic thing.

You know you're a geek when...

you can't find something in your house and you find your fingers involuntarily twitching, trying to press ctl+f.

you email the guy in the office next to you...

I agree, many people who are confused by what the idea of the internet is--or how it works, I suppose--just memorize "OK, click on the blue e, then I get a homepage." But I forgive them, because...

If you're looking for a script to run or something try


whereis <programname>

in the terminal. Usually it can turn up something for you.

Thanks for the swift reply.

Last I checked, that's exactly what my GRUB looked like--I'll check again, something could have been modified with all the 8.04 updates that keep coming.

So I'm not sure if Windows has broken itself (wouldn't be the first time) or if Linux has somehow sabotaged my poor Wintendo, but I'm hoping someone can point me to how to fix it through Linux, with...

First, go into synaptic, and uninstall gstreamer, and reinstall it. Synaptic will let you know what other dependencies are necessary. While you're in synaptic you might want to look at some of the...

I, too, would be infinitely pleased to find something that successfully implements the functionality of Finder. The closest thing I found was GNUStep, which in my opinion was disappointing, but...

Hmm, hard to say what's wrong, your menu.lst doesn't have any glaring errors. Where I would check first for an error would be in the hd(0,4) section--do you have multiple hard disks? Is it really...
