What a damned useful little script! Many Thanks.

If it is based on UK time, it'll be after Sunday bacon and eggs. So about 5 in the afternoon ;)

cd Desktop

Linux is case sensitive remember!

ls -aR *

Will list everything (and I mean everything) under the current directory.

If you do:


ls -aR /*

be prepared to wait while it spits it out :lolflag:

Hi Xpod. Still stuck in the smoke?
As you might have guessed, Auld Reekie is baltic at the mo.
Still the same - has been for the past several hundred years! - so no surprise - even Mad Vlad's still...

Had to check before posting to this thread. I have been a member since 2007. Doesn't time fly!!
Still try and chuck in the odd tuppence worth if appropriate.

Neither - Mr Bean wins every time :) :) :)

Yea .. it contains the word Microsoft :evil:

Be glad you use GNU/Linux

The Petri dish of software?

For me, Maxwell's equations - curl, div and del and all that!

sudo lshw

sudo lshw > hw.txt

Don't know which version you're running, but new with Karmic is Ibus, a new input method for Linux - so it says. I run Xubuntu, it's under settings. I don't know the Gnome equivalent. I found SCIM to...

Try espeak. It's in the repos. You just use it from the command line, eg


espeak "hello world"

Do the same thing with Run Program.
That is: Alt F2, then type in

xfce4-panel
then Run.
You should now have your panel(s).
To make sure you always have them:
In Session and Startup, make sure...

Don't think you can do it that way out the box (could be wrong).
The following should work


M-! # Execute a shell command from mini-buffer

At the Shell Command prompt in the mini-buffer

...

By an open file. Do you mean it was opened from emacs?
If so, then
C-x C-b will list all open buffers and their associated files names.
To find any old file I just use the shell find command.

Looks like a problem with lame.
Asunder uses this as it's mp3 backend.
See if you have lame installed NB NOT the gstreamer plugin thing


aptitude show lame

If it's not installed install it

Average I suppose

Well, there's always ..


sudo shutdown -h now

in your favourite terminal ;)

I gave up reading when I came to this bit ...

open source tends to follow paths created by proprietary software.

Emmm .. sorry, but it's the other way around.

Can't wait for Wheezy Weasel myself :)

Just let the update manager take care of it. If you have the rc installed then the updates will auto-magically update it to the release version.
