You don't need mkvtoolnix or anything. The files were just split at the binary level if they follow the *.001, *.002, *.003 pattern. You can use the following command for any filetype (just change...

I ended up using Arch Linux and the proprietary Catalyst drivers, and they work for the most part. The only aspect in which they are lacking is performance: 1080p video playback results in tearing...

Hi,

I recently purchased an ATi Radeon HD 4350 graphics card for use with an HTPC (a Sony VAIO RC110G) running Kubuntu 9.04 that I've got hooked up to my HDTV. I've run into a few issues with it:...

I've got an RC110G as well. It's had the same problem with sound in Ubuntu for over 3 years now. I have no idea why the Ubuntu developers haven't fixed it yet.

Anyway, to get it to work, run the...

I don't understand why Sun can't do the same thing they do for the JRE/JDK - show a 'click to accept' menu when you install from the repositories.

I'm highly impressed by Foxconn's rapid response to a Linux compatibility problem. This kind of attention to Linux from hardware manufacturers is highly unusual, and I applaud Foxconn for their...

Hi,

I've got my GMail account synced in Thunderbird using IMAP, but messages aren't in the threaded view when they're in the inbox. As soon as I archive them, they appear in threaded form in 'All...

Hi,

I'm trying to use ProFont (http://www.tobias-jung.de/seekingprofont/) as my Konsole font, but the fonts are in the PCF format. When I put this in ~/.fonts or in fonts:/Personal, it doesn't...

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a list of email addresses in KMail which, if an email is received to those addresses, the outgoing email will be assigned a particular KMail...

Hi,

So the way I have my partitions set up right now, I've got one 250GB hard drive with Windows on it, and one 500GB hard drive with Linux on it, with a 148GB / (root) partition and the 309GB...

So this is a problem in Windows too? I thought the issue was tied to ext3. What if I'm using the ext3 driver for Windows available at http://www.fs-driver.org/ , would that result in the same issue?...

Yeah, I always do a fresh install, which is why I'd rather keep the /home partition separate. But since this is a laptop (hence the encryption) I'm going to be regularly backing up my /home directory...

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to specify the directory to which a file should be unrar'd? From what the help file says, it's only possible to unrar to the current directory. Any ways...

You mean back it up unencrypted? If this is the only way to do it, I might as well keep /home in the same partition as / .

Hi,

I'm thinking about implementing OS-wide encryption (i.e. except for /boot), but I was wondering what would happen when I reinstalled, with the same, separate /home partition - how would the...

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get Kopete to use an alias in AIM and Google Talk chat sessions? I've configured it to use an alias, but that only works in MSN. Is this a known bug, or is there...

Hi,

In GTK applications like Firefox, you can type Ctrl+Shift+U to get the Unicode entry prompt (an underlined u). In Qt applications, however, that shortcut doesn't work. Does anyone know how to...

Hi,

I'm trying to replicate Ubuntu's VNC server setup on Xubuntu, but I've had no luck so far. I've searched these forums, and tried installing Vino, but nothing has worked for me. When I try to...

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to sync Akregator with a Google Reader account?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yeah, I can't believe he'd steal it. I think we need to go confront his "Micro-soft" and find out wtf they think they're doing.

Any chance of a KDE version?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the best Linux software to use to access all my files once they're backed up onto DVDs. Two of the programs I've found so far are CdCat and CDCollect. Can anyone...

Could you change it back after that and still have it work?

I think that VMware Workstation 6.5 might allow you to install the 'addons' and boot from a physical partition, but it's currently in beta. You can get a free copy from the VMware site and try it...

Well, since this computer is old and I can't use the Ubuntu Live CD, I instead used the Xubuntu Live CD, which had a timeout, and that allowed for X to load, in which the keyboard worked. I was able...
