I haven't been able to get Evolution to connect up to Exchange 2007 at all - so right now I'm using Outlook (ew!) in Crossover for Linux.

The only way I have managed to use even close 1 Gb of active memory was to run 3 Jetty servers, Apache TCPMon, and JetBrainz' IDEA (that's 5 JVMs), Outlook 2007 (via Wine), Firefox with 10 tabs (with...

I would strongly suggest just installing Java from the repositories. That will take care of setting up paths, etc. and is quite a bit less painful.

For that amount of data, you almost will have to use a database. I do know that Amarok 2 is using "embedded MySQL", so take from that what you will...

There appears to be a bug/conflict with the desktop effects and some video playback/full-screen applications. Once you've "lost" the effects, they won't come back until you log out and log back in....

Try installing msftcorefonts... ;)

Yes, KPackageKit is a little on the brain-dead side. On the other hand, it's pretty new, so there are still some bugs to be worked out. Use synaptic in the mean time.

I've been using the new...

If you've added it to the Autostart and you're running the application when you log out, on next startup/login the KDE manager will start the program twice (once for Auto and once for the saved...

DON'T BLINDLY COPY THE SETTINGS! If you've installed the latest Java, it's not 1.5. Check your directory paths before you make the changes to your .bashrc -- use whatever is showing in /usr/lib/jvm

First, undo whatever editing you did to add "CLASSPATH" and "JAVA_HOME" to your environment. CLASSPATH hasn't been required for general Java usage since 1.3 and JAVA_HOME is only required for those...

Instead of attempting to over-ride HAL permissions on the device, just add the appropriate users to the "dialout" group via user management. Log out and log back in and you're done.

As for...

The last I tried Evolution produced at least being able to (barely) do e-mail (threading conversations is horribly broken). Calendar is completely shot. At this point, I'd classify Exchange support...

Edit the tags first, then wipe out the Amarok directory (~/.kde/share/apps/amarok), then start Amarok and scan your collection. I recommend EasyTag for tage editing.

I've actually given up on...

If you're running in VirtualBox, you need to install the VirtualBox "Guest" applications/drivers first before trying to change the resolution.

I don't believe that the Linux Intel drivers are capable of 3D acceleration - but that's where I'd check. If that's the case, there's plenty of relatively low-cost NVidia (my preference) and ATI...

System Settings -> Advanced -> Desktop Theme Details

Once it's set to your liking, right-click on the desktop, select Appearance Settings. Set your Desktop Theme to (Custom) and you're good to go.

First, make sure you have a graphics card that handles accelerated graphics. Older cards will not have the basic processing power to handle even DX 7.

Secondly, turn off any fancy desktop...

Use the "source"... ;)

I've had kded go nuts a couple of times. Either killed it or logged out and back in again. There never was an indication as to what exactly triggered it, but it hasn't acted up in a while.

Another satisfied eeebuntu user here (my wife's 1000). I haven't updated it to Jaunty, but that'll probably happen relatively soonish...

And it's even running KDE with the golly-gee whiz desktop...

The 80-column rule pre-dates fancy things like terminals: 80 columns was the width of a standard IBM punch-card. Most languages at the time were expressed as one line of code per card. Programs ran...

Users/permisisons have to be set explicitly in MySQL - does this user have access to the DB "song"?

You could always pull the HD out of the HP machine and put it in the Linux machine (provided the interfaces are compatible).

Almost anything you do come up with will be easier than trying to tie...

FTP is insecure (sends passwords in the clear). You should look into using SSH and SFTP, which are typically installed by default anyway. And an SSH server is actually much easier to set up than an...

Just use the repository version - it's "new enough" for a vast majority of purposes and it's a damn sight easier to install. Just use the search function to locate relevant posts for this topic -...
