Ah, teo, that works perfectly! Thanks!

Wishing I understood the sed commands enough to know if a) this is possible, and b) if so, how.

What I'd like to be able to do is only print the first 20 characters of whatever is pulled from the...

Same issue here. Hoped to be able to get 2.6.4 via PPA so the offline crash fix would be implemented, but the PPA only has 2.6.3. :(

It happens to me occasionally as well. It seems to happen more often after I've gone away and come back from a screensaver, but it may have happened at other times too - not sure. It is really...

Yay! Thanks Troy for letting me know that there's a company out there getting some of this going. At least one member of my family would love those Fashion Cents games. I may buy those for Christmas...

Shockwave.com sells to those people all the time. Personally, I pay a subscription fee (annually) for the windows users in my family. Yes, the people who play these games are tech savvy enough to...

Just sayin' - huge market waiting to be tapped - and another way to get Linux established with the everyday folks out there.

Hi. I like playing computer games. But I don't play any of the games most discussed on "gaming" boards. I call them "boy games", but I suppose that's being sexist. I imagine there are females who...

So, months later, I finally got tired of seeing the notification in Update Manager that a new distribution was available, and I just went for it. It worked. I don't see any problems yet, but I may...

If you go to System / Preferences / Sound, does everything look ok in there? If so, then I'd add the volume applet to your panel if you don't already have it on there, and then click on it's Volume...

Every situation is different, so the best CMS for one may not be the best for another, but for pure "easy", I'd have to go with SnippetMaster. (snippetmaster.com)

I've gone to System > Preferences > Preferred Applications and changed the Web Browser to Custom with the command of:


firefox-3.5 %s

(also tried firefox-3.5 %u)

but it doesn't always...

Ok, that would explain it then! Thanks, will do.

I simply drag a desktop launcher onto docky.

I have the same problem as Miss Kitty, although it only happens with new launchers that I add to docky. And then, once in a while, a new launcher will stick after a restart, so it's fairly...

Any chance you're using Yahoo in pidgin? If so, go to the account and "Modify". On the Advanced tab, "Pager server" field, enter one of the following:

cs102.msg.mud.yahoo.com or...

I have a lot of emails (748 of them) in a folder called Saved in Evolution. I'd love to be able to select all the emails in the folder, and then forward them all to another email address.

The...

Same issue here. Suddenly, although I can print fine, the scan function no longer works. This "disapearring functionality" of something that once worked, and suddenly no longer does, is the one...

Heh, cute! Looks like some kind of mixed terrier - maybe some cairn in it, along with something else. Hard to say for sure, but its not a purebred breed that I recognize (not that I'm an expert, but...

Ever since I upgraded to Jaunty, I've had this problem where Flash, video, youtube, etc. works fine for a while, and then poof, it disappears. I've finally gotten it down to where I have a script...

Try pressing Ctrl-Alt-T . That's the keyboard shortcut that works for me to open up terminal and I assume it's the default shortcut, since I don't recall ever creating it myself.

My latest fave: geany



The reason I went in search of a text editor / IDE to replace gedit was because I needed a way to easily save files using the old Windows DOS file format with CR/LF line...

Click on Window / Show Preview

(It took me forever to figure that out).

By combining this thread with an old thread, I was able to figure out how to fix the xsane only running as root problem. Since I don't have pcmanfm, I did the following:

Ran in terminal:

Ack! I'm running 9.04 too, but didn't notice that ctrl-alt-backspace disappeared. Grrr...

Ok, what is ALTGR?
