Thanks for the tip...Have also been looking!

Thank you, I have also found the video loopback device provided by motion. This allows you to feed the video into XawTV or similar after motion has used it.

I have a TV card installed and I use it to monitor a security camera. Everything works wonderfully.

I also run "webcam" or "motion" on it. Those are program that take snapshots periodically or...

I finally solved the problem! I'm so relieved.

The problem was caused by me running jobs with cron and I did not add

>/dev/null 2>&1
at the end of each crontab entry. That bit at the end...

I love using Ubuntu and run it all the time, but your own statement is that you want to play games. I assume you mean windows games. Then you should really run them on windows because they were not...

Are you sure rsync is...

When running cron jobs your usual environment is not preserved. Things like path for instance.

You should specify paths for everything and make sure environment variables that are needed are...

I suggest that all of you with the preview problem file bugs. This is the best way to attract attention and a fix!

Good luck!

Ok, I've checked it myself, this will work


rm \#myfile.txt#

Very interesting!

Are you sure that filename is correct.

What is the output of


ls -al

Simple description of a server:

Firstly, a machine could be refered to as a server when its primary purpose is to run server software. But, any machine can run server software, a home pc too.

dcstar has nailed it! That is exactly what you described...It's great to have all these tools available in Linux!

What you say does make sense. I just don't know what it could be trying to send, but I am going to check that out tonight. Hopefully I can delete the "message" and be rid of this problem.

If that...

Given your requirements of once a week and no specific time...My opinion is that you should schedule a script to run every hour (or smaller intervals if desired). This script should check a logfile...

I am using DSL through a Billion Router. I have other PC's too, but the main one which normally is always on is connected through a wired connection.

I have SSH and VSFTP servers...

Yup, the limit makes me sad too, but I'm stuck with it right now.

I'm going to try to solve it before I reinstall, because I have so much software which will then have to be reinstalled.

I'm not running Conky that I know of (don't know if something depends on it)
