Thanks for the responses guys, I might look into pexpect to see how it does its thing, I'd still rather use some build in python stuff.

I'm trying to automate a process I use for setting up machines. The process makes use of several command line tools some of which ask for user input half way through running, for example...

Hi. I am trying to run some commands from within python such that python will automatically respond to the command line questions for me.

Effectively I want to be able to make it so when a...

But aren't ATI graphics cards being open sourced?

Any suggestions re NVidia cards, not after anything super powerful, though would like dual displays and am willing to spend up to £100.

Depends on your graphics card. If you have an Intel graphics card you can use Xrandr which is pretty good at getting things right. Also, the Gnome config utility isn't too bad.

Hi there. I am in the process of building a desktop to put Linux on and I am struggling to decide on a Graphics card. Essentially I would like to get an ATI card as they seem to support open source...

I found 'Rapid GUI Programming with Python and QT' a really helpful resource and puts you into some decent tutorials pretty quickly.

I'd recommend anything made by cowon, they tend to support more file formats than others (including ogg) and are Linux friendly.

Is the photo copy type function in the printer working, if not then there is a hardware problem. Is it printing, if not have you run:

Might be plausible with the PS2's as you could buy a linux version for them however I am not sure what the point would be, as they don't use a standard processor everything would have to be compiled...

That isn't the norm. Its the way google has designed picasa, it always defaults to the Windows site. Also, just so you know the linux version of picasa is based on wine. If you wish to go a linux...

There are. If you use kde then with kde4 you can use plasmoids. In kde3, and I guess gnome, you can use superkaramba. Also there is a program for gnome called gdesklets.

Hope this helps.

Sorry its not ideal, hope it works out without too much tedium.

Umm, if you go into the settings for kmail you can create different identities which can have different reply to addresses. In this case when you go to reply there should be a drop down box at the...

I use Quanta+ for the website design - CSS, HTML, JS & PHP as well as Krita for image management. Seems to work quite well. Also there is an awesome app called KImageMapEditor which automagically...

I think everyone on the board will sympathise with your situation. Do you know what wireless card you have, if so people may be able to offer you a solution.

It isn't fair to blame linux...

One of the main reasons for updates is to maintain the security of your system. Unless you are manually looking for security updates then I do not think it is sensible to disable the automatic...

I'm not sure if this will work for you. However I have found when I have e-mails sent to me in such a way it is possible to right click on the original address within the encapsulated message (ie...

Its largely because of the way the Operating System is implemented. For example to run an executable file that you receive in an e-mail you have to first save it to the computer, then change the...

My server is designed with the single purpose of managing a custom made sound desk.

You can export Open Office presentations as flash, not the same thing at all I know but thought you might be interested.

Hi there. Sorry to hear about your woes.

Would you mind attaching the contents on your xorg.conf file.

You can open it from the terminal using the command:
