I'm trying to open ARW files from from my Sony A550 which does not seem to work with the old version of DCRAW that is being used, 8.86-1.

The latest version of DCRAW seems to be 8.99. Is there a...

Hmm, actually hwscale seems to be unnecessary. I was wondering why it didn't appear in the default configuration file. Anyway, it seems that windowresolution is the main variable. Also, output...

Hey again. Thanks for the http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=10739 link. I took another look at the configuration file after using config -writeconf to write it out a fresh file. It turns...

Hi, I'm trying to play some games in Dosbox in windowed mode, but with a larger window. I don't want to use fullscreen because then I can't switch between the Dosbox session and email and web...

Er yeah, it turned out it was my screensaver and power management settings. Thanks for the clue. *facepalm*

Hmm, I think I need to explain the problem more clearly. Basically here's the problem:

1. I log into my normal account, then I let a room-mate hop on the computer for a minute to check their...

So I get this problem when I'm trying to use the guest account on my Jaunty install. Everything works fine the first time I log into the guest account, but if I happen to log off of the guest...

Hey again. I know it's been ages since I started this thread (school took priority over geeking around for a while :)). Anyhow, I went to download Clonezilla at...

I'd like to backup the default OS on my Eee PC 901 to an external hard drive before I erase the 4 gig flash drive and install Jaunty over it. The thing is, the Eee PC has a weird partition layout...

bump.

While in a middle of running a game, Neverwinter Nights (native Linux client), Ubuntu abruptly goes into standby mode in the middle of a game. When it returns from standby, I get a black screen and...

Hi, I've recently installed Neverwinter Nights 1.69 on Jaunty with the latest updates, but I have a few questions about getting it to work with X Windows. First off, when I run the game fullscreen...

Have you tried the Edubuntu add-on CD for Ubuntu? It's at http://edubuntu.org/, and I think it basically contains selected education apps for kids.

Neat, /proc/meminfo is even more detailed than free -l.



What does "+1" mean by the way?

I read somewhere that you can create up to 56 logical partitions. I tried something along these lines to try out more Linux distros, but the GRUB menu starts to look really messy after about 5...

Yeah, I am just browsing /proc via the terminal and using cat and less to look at files. Shouldn't it be fairly safe to poke around /proc as long as you don't write anything to it?

So far I've found two that are handy: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ contains some information that is reported by your computer's internal temperature sensors.

Also, /proc/cpuinfo displays details...

Large manufacturers buy in volume which helps them push their prices down. So unfortunately smaller companies like System76 have to pay more for parts and labor for each unit.

By the way, did you...

I seem to be unable to reformat my external USB drive with Gparted for some reason. I noticed that after the "set partition type" step, Nautilus would automatically mount the disk which would cause...

I ran across a very interesting link that provided some interesting tips on rsync backups:

Among the more interesting switches are:

Actually, paper based teleprinters preceeded computer terminals.

But in any case, I like a dark terminal. :)

Awesome. Congrats! :popcorn:

My external ext3 USB drive was mounted while my system crashed while I was messing around with a LiveCD. (Copying large files into your live user's home folder while booted from a LiveCD is a bad...

I think you want to try:



Where name_of_device is the partition you want to check. It's probably /dev/sda1 if you're using a SATA drive and /dev/hda1 for a IDE drive. This is assuming your...

It sounds like you are the only user on this machine. If this is the case,
