Yeah, unless the solution involves "sudo wget something.deb" or "sudo sh some_script_you_downloaded_and_havent_read.sh" it doesn't usually exist here.

I just got through upgrading from Jaunty. The experience has been ... favorable for good ole Debian (or maybe Arch if I'm feeling frisky).
I can't figure out how to let myself or another user...
Hi. I upgraded to karmic. Initially I upgraded over apt, but that didn't work out so I did a full reinstall. In both cases my mouse spins as though busy pretty much constantly. It's ****ing...
Hi. I use a shell script instead of the user switch applet to switch between mine and my fiancee's accounts. I just upgraded to karmic and now I get "no longer supported" errors when I run my...
I had a similar problem and came up with the attached script. The advantage of it is that it only asks for a pw if its a new login. Otherwise it's the same as ctrl-alt-f8. "gdmSwitch.sh...
I use Mailbox_alert and New Mail Icon. The first flashes a message and runs a script. The second adds an icon to my tray. In case you're interested, the script mutes my sound, beeps, and unmutes...
I don't think sdd is bad either. I think mdadm marked it as failed for having missed a timeout. sdc has been kicked out several times and I no longer trust it
I can't do mdadm -D at the moment...
I reassembled the drive, minus the disk I trust least. Data was still readable. I ordered a new drive (though it's twice the size of my other disks, so I can use the spare space from this one as...
Thanks sedawk. In theory all that makes sense but I haven't a clue how to verify each block. Even if they are alright, how would I go about convincing the drives they hadn't failed out of the raid?...
Hi. Last week one of the disks (/dev/sdc1) in my raid degraded. It appeared to fix itself almost immediately. Today it outright failed. About two hours later /dev/sdd1 failed too.
I know that...
Make sure you tell awesome which terminal emulator you like. I think the default is the one set in x-terminal-emulator by debian's alternatives system.
I've been using xmonad for a couple months and really loving it, but I figured I'd give awesome a shot as well. Awesome is, well, awesome except for how it handles two monitors. I'd like it to be a...
If your pulse-session is frozen or crashed (not so uncommon in jaunty), apps that connect to pulse are also likely to freeze. padevchooser in the console might tell you something. Alternatively ps...
Hi. I upgraded to Jaunty and I'm having a problem with my sound. Whenever I switch users (whether in the panel app, gdmflexiserver -c SET_VT shenanigans, or just plain old ctrl-alt-f8) pulseaudio...
I had that for the first day of Jaunty and then it went away. No clue why. Have you tried alsactl to store the audio settings? Or maybe running amixer unmute when your session starts?
I updated my desktop to Intrepid a week ago. Today I noticed that scp isn't working between my work and home computer.
me@work:~$ scp home:file .
protocol error: unexpected <newline>

Try winecfg. I think it lets you adjust the resolution wine pretends windows has. I'm not sure if it will let you specify several values, but you could set it to the resolution you want for HL2.
Nope, never fscked anything mounted or the individual raid drives.
I'd read that create was smart about not destroying data if it looked like a drive could be part of a RAID. It seemed like a...
On the off chance that I was creating/assembling the raid out of order I tried creating and mounting it in each possible order of disks. Surprisingly, 5 of the permutations mounted. Unsurprisingly...
fjgaude,
I tried that and took it one step further. I booted off the live cd and tried to assemble. I need to use --force to get it to start, but the raid does assemble. Still can't mount it...
Tried doing mdadm --assemble --update-resync. That caused sdb1 to fail. I guess the drive was failing before, but mdadm hadn't noticed.
This is my last self bump for this thread. If I can't...
Help us shameless self-bump, you are our only hope.
Hi. My raid is failing. I'd rather not lose any data, but I'm all out of ideas and nothing on google has helped so far.
I have a raid5 array on my amd64. It has 4 sata disks. The raid will...
I just did this with gnome-do. The problem is that any applications it launches retain gnome-do's $GTK2_RC_FILES. Any ideas for how I could configure gnome-do to launch apps with my default...
Here's my new one. I've always wanted a dark theme, and while there are some nice dark GTK themes out there I think they clash too much with light websites (while for some reason dark sites don't...
