    As far as I know, that while the default xorg.conf settings are sparse, you can still add sections just as before. The following is what I have done to set my tap zones and stuff. You should be able...
  4. Re: What are the top 5 things you do after a new install?

    Remove Evolution, Ekiga, Bluetooth and Palm apps. Install xchat and pidgin to get me through all the file copying that lies ahead.
    Copy all my config files over. ftp, apache, xorg, apt sources,...
  5. [ubuntu] Re: Really short xorg.conf = no gsynaptics = no circle scrolling

    Note, this can break your X Graphic settings and dump you into the recovery mode on Intrepid. Make sure to back up to working xorg.conf file. You should be able to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file...
  6. Re: Torrents where the downloaded size goes -down-

    Sometimes the files you download fail a hashcheck, so it deletes the bad sections and attempts to redownload them. It's better than getting a corrupted file or having to redownload the entire thing.

  8. [all variants] Re: Readahead actually slows my boot down

    Do you have a swapfile? Maybe its trying to read the whole thing or something. Might be a good idea to do a sanity check on the files listed. If they are too big, dump them.

  10. [kubuntu] Re: cpu is pegged and VERY slow when printing (HP LaserJet 5L)

    From my experience it seems that the processor converts whatever you are trying print into postscript. For me, when I try to print large pdf files, it just hangs for several minutes before actually...

  13. Re: What is a more stable backup method, USB hard drive or FTP over a LAN?

    Personally I prefer having something detachable like a USB external harddrive. There is less chance of your backups going wrong. You can't accidentally delete data from a drive thats not plugged in....

    [all variants] Re: swap partition

    Actually, you can share the pagefile.sys file. Windows clears it on every boot, so anything that is put there by linux is wiped out. So in order to get linux to use the file sucessfully, you have to...
  21. [ubuntu] Re: 100 GB external USB not able to accept a 11GB file

    Another option would be to split the file into smaller chunks. You can do this with Winrar/Winzip.

    After typing the command "split" in a terminal, it looks like it would work too.
