Tried using the "rm -rf .gconf/apps/nautilus"

I was trying to rectify the en@shaw errors and must have hit something, or at least I'm willing to take the blame for the error.
I can only...
Fixed this by editing the /usr/share/yelp/*.xml files.
Edit consisted of doing a search in each of the xml files for "shaw."
There was one line which contained "en@shaw" which was completely...

I tried to leave pulse on the system and it did work for a while but the interactivity with something else had it making large files (64MB) in the /dev/shm/folder. I think it was more my hardware...
Pulse is creating a list of files in /dev/shm folder.
The files are 64 MB each and now there are 10 of them.
I've tried to remove pulse to stop this but it wants to "gut" gnome including the...
I use an older HP 3400C. The Xsane scanner package has no issues in picking it up automatically. Been using it since Hoary for all sorts of scans. Each time Ubuntu changes version it seems Xsane gets...
Same issue with me but I found probably the worst possible way to fix things. I dual boot Karmic 9.10 and Hardy 8.04. When I updated the kernel for Hardy 8.04 today there was no apparent easily...

Some what resolved regular dial up access for the 5610B following the wvdial suggestions.
Used the "sudo wvdialconf" command then edited the wvdial.conf with the proper user name, phone number and...
I'm dual booting with Hardy and replaced Feisty with Intrepid Ibex. Gnome not Kde. I tried again to re-install and also took a close look at the wvdial and wv folders. Everything seems to be the way...
Having the same difficulty with a dial up modem.

Kstars for astronomy - nice to be able to look up in the night sky and have a form of planisphere which is reasonably accurate.
Open Office for the spread sheet and writing capability.
Gedit for...
Having been a long time early Dos and Windows user and now dual booting only Linux distributions, currently Dapper and Feisty on the same box I think this test is a good milestone, useless since...
I recently downloaded this from the Debian archives and had some minor success installing it. It seems to work for some things and not others due to a partial install.
Biggest issue is there is not...
Thanks for this, it's been a week or more and I wasn't finished with the off-line box yet.
SuSuntu - Thank you as well.

It's still the same this morning US E.S.T.
Couple of things I noticed. I have both the US and Channel repositories for Breezy and there's a signal going out when you try and access both location's ...
I've been updating and setting up an "off-line" system for the past month or so and the last few visits to the repositories have been inflicted with a DOS signal from what is identified as...
