Thank you steeldriver, that expanded my knowledge of gvfs with at least 300% ;)




Great! I'll do that. Thank you!

Hi!,

...small background; I'm helping out a friend with an Ubuntu machine (currently running 14.04). As this machine (and my friend) lives several hundred kilometers away, I pop in via ssh when...

Hi,

Just want to share this with you all since when I googled this, I found a lot of different advice on the 'net on how to move your /home partition to a different drive.

I was running...

Just my $0.02; I had a similar problem a while ago and found an in my opinion better solution: nmcli.

To establish a connection:

nmcli con up id <VPN NAME>

To see which connections are up:...

Awh! That just plain sucks. So setting the SUID bit of commands like nmcli would somehow be safer?

Anyway: thank you Bachstelze!

Hello forum,

I am writing a script that I want to run with root privileges (yes I know, it is dangerous etc. - still, I want to do that). Perfect use of the SUID file permission I thought!

Final answer,

Problem was caused by usb_submit_urb(). In the completion handler I called it with the same parameters as when I submitted them in the first place, i.e. with the flag GFP_KERNEL....

Hi again,

I think I have found the reason, from usb/URB.txt and also mentioned in Linux Journal article/4786;



Ah well, I guess a tasklet (edit: workqueue) it is then.

Hi there,

A thought has occurred to me; does anyone know if the USB URB completion callback is called in an interrupt context?

That might be it; I use semaphores as mutex objects and I...

Hello,

First of all; I'm running Ubuntu 10.10; kernel 2.6.35-28-generic

I have a question I thought I'd bounce with you guys to see if you have any clue to whats going on; I am trying to...

Have read somewhere that you should be able to create an "event" in Gnome that applies this. Ought to be the same as adding a "Startup Application" (under System->Preferences). You can add a command...

dispwin -I /your/profile/here.icc

I am a little confused over what your problem is.

As I understand it, your stylus is set to "absolute" position and not "relative". In "absolute" mode, the same point on the pad always correspond...

Instead of

sudo update-pciids && update-usbids

Break it up into two commands:


sudo update-pciids
sudo update-usbids

Is there a "Wacom Intous3 6x8" device? Try to check the "full names" you see in the "xsetwacom list";

xsetwacom get Wacom\ Intous3\ 6x8\ cursor BottomX

Cheers!

Regarding this command: To see the parameters of xsetwacom, just run the command itself w/o any arguments. Then you can see that you've got it backwards:


xsetwacom -v list

...should do it

Hi,

Had a similar error trying to connect an USB memory, dmesg gave:

Hi partytmetroid,

In Karmic (9.10) at least there are two ways: one "one shot" method and one permanent. Experiment with the "one shot" method and then when you're satisfied, fix it permanently. I...

Hi SergeantOreo & Favux,

Just my $0.02: I haven't followed your whole thread, but it seems that you cannot see all devices when you use 'xsetwacom list'. I can't either, but I can modify them...

Hello Forum,

Question: is it possible (via the HAL/fdi) to create multiple zones on the Intous? I seem to recollect that it was possible in xorg, but I have not seen anything like that when it...

Hi

I have the same problem. Thank you for the ctrl-N suggenstion as a work-around. However the problem is of course still there: the first Firefox window is not showing any drop down menus/boxes...

Hi,

The only option right now AFAIK is to download the source from sourceforge and compile yourself.

Stupid user error! ](*,)

Hello,

A question: where can I get hold of the pfscalibration 'package' (i.e. package as in collection of stuff, not a .deb package) ? I see in many places that there is supposed to be commands...

Hi,
