    My read of this page: http://docs.python.org/2/howto/sockets.html makes it sound like you're ever-so-slightly better off closing the socket when you're done sending.

    [ubuntu] Re: Update Manager fail

    Sounds like dpkg-reconfigure -a is not handling packages in the right order, or having issues trying to do everything at once. I'd recommend trying to run it manually, giving it the packages that...

    Re: Mousekeys too slow

    OK. So, anybody have a workaround?

    I've thought of two. The first (and worst) is to put in a cronjob to run as often as possible to basically run this command:



    xkbset ma 5 10 10 5 10

  4. Re: Is Wireless-N sortof a marketing gimmick?

    In my experience, Wireless-N routers are indeed more powerful. In my in-laws' house (older construction, but not exactly huge), I could get nice strong Wireless-N signals everywhere, but the 802.11G...

    [ubuntu] Re: Trying to install VPython

    You can try running apt-get with the -f flag. That'd be my first suggestion.

    Though, it's worth pointing out that Ubuntu 10.10 is an old release which is no longer supported. That means that...

    Re: Wine 12.04

    Wine can be a timesaver, but it isn't always a miracle worker, and it doesn't run every piece of Windows software all that well.

    If you're curious about whether an application will run, there's a...

    [ubuntu] Re: file named ???

    Bit of an oversimple suggestion, perhaps... but, have you tried looking for the file in nautilus (or whatever your graphical file browser of choice is)? Sometimes I've had an easier time deleting or...

    Re: Mousekeys too slow

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but since the above is relevant to my issue I thought I'd repost.

    I'm using mousekeys and a cheap wireless keyboard to use Ubuntu as a living room PC. Works great...

    Tried giving it a little of the old in-out. No change. Nice thought, though. :)

    Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?

    I've been on Linux at work since 2005, and Linux-only at home since 2007, when I bought a no-OS laptop to make up for the fact that my then girlfriend (now wife) was going to Australia for two weeks...

    [ubuntu] Re: Toshiba satellite sound problem

    Looks like you have the snd_hda_intel card. I have one of those too, and for whatever reason it gives me trouble in ubuntu.

  15. [ubuntu] Re: Adding RAID to system - stupid question?

    Since you're thinking about using 4 drives, if you're worried about performance you might want to consider RAID10 instead of RAID5. Gives a tiny bit more fault-tolerance, too; ie, RAID 10 can...
