Thanks for the tips. I always find the crossover between GTK (with its variants), compiz, and Metacity to be very confusing.
I discovered the source of the problem using gconf-editor. The theme is...
When I use the ubuntu tweak tool to (try to) change the GTK theme on one of my systems (not both; this works on the other system), or when I use gtk-chtheme to try to accomplish the same thing, the...
OK, progress. The method that I showed above for discovering whether or not ipv6 is enabled (the method shown on the Ubuntu wiki) does not give a correct result -- at least on my system, which is...
In the ipv6 thread there is a section on testing to see whether ipv6 is enabled or disabled. The indicated command is:
lsmod | grep inet6
When I run that command, I get no output, which the...
Already done.
I have also noticed that the slowness persists across connections. So, when I connect from my university, for example (eth0 or wireless), I have the same problem. I have also...
With eth0 unplugged and wireless active:
ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:37:d0:77:8a
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX...
Yes, that's correct. My wireless is not currently connected. It's eth0 I'm working form (though, when the wireless is connected, both are slow). I wonder if this could be part of the problem: the...
My bzr repo commits perfectly from the command line (or from within emacs); but whenever I try to run it through cron (for a daily automated commit, for example), I get this:

I am sure that this has been asked and answered in other threads, but a dedicated search does not produce the solution. So: replacing my router seems to have introduced a delay in net connection for...
Glad you found it useful. This tutorial sure has had a long life. Now, I will also suggest another thing: backup your data online, using a getdropbox.com free account (2 gigs) and rsync with a local...
Air apps work perfectly under gnome. But with kde4, they seem to load and then yield an empty frame where the app is supposed to be. Anyone else experince this?
Did you ever find out how to do this?

Does anyone know offhand how to configure xetex to work with kile?

Edit:
I got it. Not that hard, actually:
Settings --> Configure --> Tools --> Build --> New Tool...
Actually, there's an even easier way to change to the home directory:
cd
You don't need the tilde (~).

I was just browsing the forums, and I noticed that there were about 5,000 other people on the forums at the same time. This seems incredible to me. I remember when (only a couple of years ago) I...
Thanks for the help. This gives me an excellent start. It's really quite simple, and the above solutions will do nicely.
Cheers.

I am not a programmer, but I do know that what I want to do should be very straightforward in various languages (perl, python, lisp even).
Here's what I want to do:
In emacs (ideally), I want...
This howto only got me part way there, so I tried the debian (ubuntu) package from Alexandre Vassalotti:

Worked perfectly.

Try this howto:

And, if you have problems, try this:
sudo apt-get -f install

If, like me, you use IMAP instead of POP for your mail, you may have experienced some difficulty with the popular email clients (kmail, evolution, thunderbird). And you may also have had difficulty...
This is a pretty cool little app. Thanks for the howto. But I'm a little hazy on the decryption part. I couldn't find an answer about this on the encfs site.
Let's say I put some files into the...
OK, small progress.
This,
grep -R 'To: ' *
when run in the main sent directory (i.e. above cur/tmp/new) causes grep to print out every line with "To" and "In-Reply-To:". It also shows the...
This is silly: I have spent so much time on this simple task, and have been so frustrated by it, that I have gone out and bought a book on how to program perl in order to find some way of figuring...
It's odd that I've spent an hour searching the web for something that seems pretty simple: a script to change all the straight quotes and dashes in a regular utf-8 text file into proper typographic...
