EDIT: no more keys
I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of Heroes of Newerth by now, a DOTA style game that offers native GNU/Linux clients (both x86 and amd64!).
I've got a HoN account from...
True, not comparable to Microsoft. Then again, keep in mind hyperbole is an often used tool to emphasise changes and grab attention.
And I daresay that there are fairly different moral standards for...
Thanks :)
The developer of MCC Interim never intended for his distro to be "final" (the name might be a hint...), but rather something like a proof of concept for installing the GNU system with...
Just finished a new update of my pet project. Now with clickable labels (in the SVG).
Future updates are expected to be much more frequent, because I've also started a pet project of my pet project....
@RandomJoe:
Why don't you have a look at all those tablets that came out earlier this month? There's even a slideshow.
Yes, as usual, Apple does get all the hype even if they are too late ;)
@legends2k:
Thanks for the info, I just gave v1.0.0 a try.
I like the clean interface as well as the speed... performance always caters to me.
Somehow I wasn't able to bind the Super (Meta, Win)...
I was using StarDict for a long time and it did the job fine, except for a few glitches.
When the rumours of it's development stop came about, I switched to the then new GoldenDict, which is...
The WICD Network Manager is capable of doing exactly what you want. You can install it via Synaptic (or the Software Center).
Beware that since it does the same as the default Network Manager, this...
One small hint: don't reboot. Turn off the computer completely, so the wlan adapter gets completely powered off.
A friend of mine with a WinXP/Ubuntu dual-boot can reliably reproduce this:
Booting...
You can have it executed at system boot... press Alt+F2 and type
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
In the editor, add your command right above the "exit 0".
For the record, for some time I used...
Hi JamesVanKlink :)
Care to share the solution with us? It might be helpful to other users with the same problem.
The standard 'remove' doesn't get rid of config files... this might help
sudo aptitude purge PACKAGENAME
Can you confirm that your DynDNS setup is working? Does the following allow you to...
No luck with 9.10, Nautilus is still broken :\
Hmm... I'm not sure you really understand, or maybe just I don't understand that you understand ;)
There is proprietary software, which usually comes with a comparatively very restrictive license...
Hi everyone!
Ubuntu 9.10 has sourced out the setting from the xorg.conf, which can be considered obsolete and is due to be phased out in the coming years.
However that won't happen quickly, so if...
xorg.conf is now only (mainly) used for video configuration.
The new configuration files for other (particularly input) devices are in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
The files in this folder are called...
If you have wired internet connectivity, boot into recovery ("single user") mode. In case you have no IP (the 'ifconfig' command tells), run
dhclient eth0
To repair the broken packages, your best...
@oldsoundguy: come on, in our community, even trolls may receive a big warm freshly brewed cup of Ubuntu goodness ;D
@Mlava: I recommend you get acquainted with NoScript. Then you'll only once...
Re: Comments welcome: Nautilus ccrypt
Yes, thanks :)
Good point, though I'd like to keep it a bit more general. Script updated.
Bonjour and welcome :)
Comments welcome: Nautilus ccrypt
I've been looking for a simple way suited for "non-techy" users to encrypt single files.
The default method in Ubuntu is to install seahorse-plugins, create a GPG key and use it after clicking on...
@MikeTheC:
I also have to disagree with you here...
I don't consider Apple significantly "nicer" than Microsoft. PsyStar and <video> are two recent examples that I think haven't been mentioned...
Translation:
Just my addition to this inflammatory thread ;)
@HymnToLife:
Hehe, you're right. Because both copyleft and the moral aspects are so present throughout the FSF's statements, I assumed they were the endpoint of the freedom scale.
As your link...
