Hi folks,

Not sure if dual booted Windows is supported, but here goes: the System process (specifically system.acpi according to process explorer) is using 100% of one core whenever an external...

I hate it; there should be a command for restarting networking services, and silent failure is NOT AN ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.

BUT! You can chain the commands to bring down the interface, and bring it...

I wrote a desktop-environment-agnostic tinygrab clone in bash. It's called zt, and works best if you bind it to a hotkey. In order to be useful, you'll need ssh keys set up to the sftp server you...

I believe all of this is linked to the scripts run from /etc/update-motd.d. If you remove the symlink to 50-landscape-sysinfo in that directory, I think it will remove the login prompt. This is less...

I've noticed the same thing with several other machines with Realtek cards, both Windows and Linux (though it seems to be worse on Linux). The only thing that's helped for me has been to manually...

I'm getting the same problem -- try to log into the server from another machine on your local network. Apparently ircd-hybrid blocks its own IP address from connecting.

It's fixed.

Glad you could find some use for it :). It's saved me quite a bit of time. I'm not taking any classes over the summer, only working, and once I've got a bit of free time I'm going to add some extra...

Hey kids, I've written a script that takes a brand new fresh installation of Ubuntu and configures everything for you. It installs smcfancontrol, a script written very wonderfully by joushou (over at...

Both audio output and input work if I do this -- but output I frequently get blips of static which makes it really hard to be satisfied with this functionality. Anyone hear of this or have this...

FIX BELOW


Found a fix; it works fine for now and keeps everything cool.

Install the hal-applesmc and applesmc-dkms packages from the Mactel PPA (there aren't karmic versions of this; add...

Man, this is embarrassing. I've got everything you've done to the simple.conf file in mine, I'm running the command correctly as it prints in the console that it's made 2 channels and there are zero...

My laptop (Ubuntu 8.10) is named titan/leviathan, though it was once named cradle. Any of those three is something I may at random switch it to.

I have a fileserver/torrentbox/webserver/backup...

I'm interested, certainly.

I think you left out a $ in one of the last lines of the script, as well as an 's' at the end of defaults:

update-rc.d $initscript defaults $scriptrlevel || fatal "Failed to install rc-scripts"...

Am I correct in assuming I should make it executable and copy it to /init.d/ to be run at boot with update-rc.d?

My Macbook Pro 3,1 (running intrepid) has the applesmc module installed but my CPU idles at around 58*C. It gets up to 98*C (eep!) when running two CPUburn processes. Fans kick up to 6000 RPM after a...

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022619 fixed my keyboard backlight issue. Different model Macbook; might work though.

Head to the bottom of that thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022619

I figured it out: on MacBook Pro 3,1 versions, you simply remove the MacBook Pro 3,1 entries from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-macbookpro-utils.fdi, then open gconf-editor, go to apps -->...

Do you know which settings you fooled around with?

I've got the same problem. On a previous install I managed to get pommed to work with the keyboard backlight -- but interestingly it would turn on at boot and be on for exactly a minute. And never...

pemur1, what's your dock app? It looks nice. AWN?

Yes! That worked! Thanks! I even get the little popup window showing the brightness level. Woot. Just added the mbp_nvidia_bl line to the end of /etc/modules and rebooted. Wondrous. I can take the...

Thanks very much! An improvement over the one I wrote myself. Thanks for this!
