Thanks for this, helped me out no end. In case anyone needs to know, adding the -t argument to the ssh ***mand create a pseudo-terminal which enables you to run sudo ***mands if necessary.

Thank you soooooo much for the brainstorm link, I'm doing the same as you on an SS4200-E and that link had the solution to my problem.

I was able to adapt the syslinux.cfg file to update the...

Mine is a note of caution. I once did what you're wanting by accident, though in my case it was across two versions of the same distro. My problem was that the later version updated some config....

Hi

I have a mini 9 running 10.04 and have recently set up a MediaTomb media server on the home network.

I've installed the coherence plugin in Movie Player and can browse to the server, see its...

I can see what you mean but I still think you're a little confused over the Linux != Windows thing. Perhaps we're just talking about different breeds of cat rather than different types of animals. ...

Therein lies the root of your misunderstanding, Linux is NOT trying to be Windows (fortunately) - Linux is (very intentionally) being AN ALTERNATIVE TO Windows, YOU are trying to make Linux be...

Would you please explain your "solution" a little more.

I've just got my USB Modem back from a relative after a few months and both my mini 9s do exactly the same as you say - connect but no...

I know this might sound like an obvious question so please excuse me but are you actually showing the widget layer? I have some of my screenlets on the widget layer which means they are hidden until...

Check your log files, you may find that it is being detected but not being automatically mounted. I had similar problems with my own 2Tb MyBook on earlier versions of Linux.

Ok, so which version of Ubuntu did you install and what model of dongle did you buy (I'm in Oz, so not familiar with what O2 models there are).

I doubt you can stop it, it's almost certainly a hardware feature since all laptops I've seen that implement a suspend mode (irrespective of O/S) do something the same. The O/S isn't doing anything...

Sorry but I don't see what the problem is.

I don't need to use Alt-Tab nor are there problems with fore/background focus, I simply drag a file from nautilus onto gEdit (in the background) and it...

According to a friend who is a radio engineer, Lion batteries actually last longer if kept (trickle-)charged, so you may not actually be helping your battery by not charging/fully discharging it.

Wammu may do the trick for you, works well with my USB Broadband modem and allows me to send/receive SMS.

Now worries, glad to be able to help. Been there myself, I've only been using Linux for about three years so also still have plenty to learn.

The vnstat method is a bit more complex and I haven't...

Installing gtraffic is a fairly simple process which the author has summarised as...

run sudo ./setup.py install
log out and back in

This "translates" to...
download the zip file (it's a...

According to Intel, the degradation in speed you are talking about is not as significant as some believe unless the drive is full, and other sources I've read suggest that most drives' speed...

You don't. SSDs don't suffer from fragmentation and seek time/lag as there are no moving parts, unlike a disk which has to wait for the head to reach the correct cylinder and the disk to spin the...

Is gtraffic safe to install? Difficult one - personal call, though I likely would as it's distributed on a fairly reputable site. Most of these have the code available to examine so others would...

Almost certainly not. The firmware of the device will most likely be designed to work with that file system only - if you change it you will almost certainly stop it working and could even "brick"...

Clean it with Isoprophyl Alcohol, you probably still have some residue. Get it from good electronics stores.

Ok, the panel plugin you mentioned is for xfce4, which is an alternative windowing environment to Gnome (which you are probably using, unless you opted for KDE). This means you can't plug it in to...

Try this article - it describes how to clone your hard drive, just ignore the second half!

You can use either Compiz (Window Rules) or devilspie - either will do the job.

Hmm... looks like it should do the trick, though it isn't one I found in my searching. The advantage of my conky solution is that it is simple there, all the time, painted on the desktop. However,...
