Hi, I downloaded the oxygen cursors and oxygen cursors extras form the official ubuntu repos using synaptic. I am running gnome in ubuntu lucid with compiz and emerald.

I installed them system...

On the upgrade to lucid, I found that my epiphany-gecko was broken again. Here's what to do to get it back:


First run

sudo apt-get remove xulrunner-1.9
this removes a dummy package that...

Alright all, I solved how to downgrade to epiphany-gecko (2.26.1). It's actually a trivial exercise. First, remove all epiphany related packages from your system (note you will keep all your personal...

That's spot on rocketpants, I just stumbled across this. I don't really use this script much anymore, although I will continue to maintain it. You need to also remove the space between -t and...

The reason for not offering a version of epiphany-gecko for karmic is that the epiphany devs have very little time and would prefer to concentrate on epiphany-webkit as this backend is vastly...

Hi, as all you epiphany users probably know, in karmic, epiphany-webkit is the default version of epiphany installed. In my opinion, released way too early, it's a bit buggy with videos and flash and...

That's not in fact true at all. If you run
calcurse -h in a terminal you'll see that this is calcurse encountering an error and printing out its help to assist you, which then gets piped into conky...

Hi, yeah, thunderbird/lightning/sunbird now uses a sdb file instead of an ics file. However, if you download the extension "Automatic Export"...

Not sure if this is the issue but I'm running ubuntu on a Compaq CQ60 and the vanilla install was extremely sluggish until I sorted out the graphics drivers. I think it was using the CPU to render...

Yeah, it deletes and re-imports every time it refreshes. I agree it's not the most efficient way to update a calendar, but the parsing of the ical file seems to be very fast, and I couldn't think of...

Hi, thanks for posting a screenshot, that makes things much clearer. I know what the problem is, basically I have an array that starts from 1 instead of 0, so it misses out today and goes straight on...

Hi all, after being annoyed at the little love that banshee receives by plugins, I decided to write my own plugin for awn. It is in the form of a python script that you run independently of awn and...

I'm sorry, I can't understand unless you paste the output of the script here so I can see exactly what it displays and preferably post a screenshot of conky as well

I don't know why that should happen really. Could you run the script in a terminal and paste here what the output is. E.g type

/path/to/script
so I can see what it returns?

Are you sure you're calling
execpi from conky, not
execi AND you restarted conky? Otherwise, it should be fine. Do you get the same for the times of appointment times i.e. do you see
...

A script to display transmission torrents in your conky setup. To run, download the script, make it executable and put

${execpi 1 ~/path/to/script}
(where the one is the update time in seconds)...

Right, here is the new script, you need to use

${execpi 1 ~/path/to/script}
in conky this time, so it can parse the formatting properly

Firstly, if you're using Jaunty, calcurse 2.5 is in the...

Try downloading the package ipod-convenience this gives an easy way to correctly mount your iPhone.

The site http://groundstate.ca/ocr does a good round up of OCR for Linux, and remember you can convert from one image type to another (including pdf) using
convert -format png scan.pdf for example.

Thanks everybody for your replies, I did what lisati suggested and used the recovery disk supplied by the manufacturer to burn a seperate CD that will supposedly let me reinstall Vista even if I wipe...

It is handy for entering prices but the £ character is about the only character not used as a special character in any programming language, so it's really handy for substitution.

I have done this with my computer before, so it is possible. Your bluetooth dongle needs to support Audio Sink or something similar sounding and your phone has to support A2DP. The way I did it was...

Okay, thanks for your reply. If I use something like Partimage http://www.partimage.org/Partimage-FAQ#If_I_make_an_image_file_of_a_partition.2C_can_I_restore_it_to_an_unpartitioned_hard_disk_.3F to...

Instead of using

cat foo
where foo is your file try using

cat foo | sed 's/£//g'
But replace the £ sign with a box , copied from the output (I can't post one in the code snippet because...

Hi, I just got a new laptop that came with Vista preinstalled. I was dual-booting Intrepid and XP on my old laptop and I want to single-boot Jaunty on my new one. However, I would like the ability to...
