Although seeing that it's on your desktop, you'll have to run this first before you run the commands 'linux' gave: [code]cd Desktop[/code]

Not officially. It's actually possible to put Linux on the iPod Nano (although it seems as though 2nd and 3rd generation Nanos are unsupported), but with this running you can play videos, games, and run all sorts of other Linux applications. See [url]http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page[/url] if you're interested.

Is dbus running? [code]$ sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start[/code] Also, you might be missing this: [url]http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Dbus[/url]

Hehe, poll editing brings back the old memories of DMR and his wombats. Anyhow, even moderators can't edit polls in forums they're responsible for (or maybe I'm missing something here).

Just don't play the video until it's finished downloading.

I'd recommend using a bool array rather than a char array; it tends to make calculations simpler and less error-prone if all you're dealing with is ones and zeroes. Adding a function which prints out the appropriate symbols would be quite trivial. Also... your usage of switch statements doesn't seem …

Some links you seem to have missed: [url=http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement8-3.html]Use [b]CODE[/b] tags when posting code[/url] [url=http://www.cprogramming.com/faq/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi?id=1043284376&answer=1044841143][u]Never[/u] use void main[/url]

The 'k' prefix actually doesn't refer to 'KDE', it refers to 'kernel'. Those are various kernel daemons meant for handling threads, ACPI, APIC, IRQ, etc. and cannot be killed.

If you're using Debian, it's probably easier simply to install it through the dpkg package management system. First, make sure that in your [icode]/etc/apt/sources.list[/icode] file you have the word [icode]non-free[/icode] after your main repository line. In other words, the first line of your file should look something like this: [code]deb …

My guess would be that you've been infected with some sort of Mac MSN Messenger worm -- apparently it's sending out messages with a link to the worm to infect people on your contact list. First of all, stop using MSN [I]immediately[/I], for two reasons: a) you don't want to …

The reason you can't do administrative tasks with a regular user is because it's more secure that way. It's designed so that normal users will have to authenticate themselves if they want to add or remove software from a system, change systemwide settings, etc. You don't need sudo to authenticate. …

I've seen this behavior when I use Firefox on the Ubuntu LiveCD. You need to install the Microsoft truetype fonts: [code]sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts[/code] While you're at it, you might also want to install some other fonts (artwiz, bitstream-vera, etc).

Set up your pages the way you like them in Firefox, then choose Tools->Options (I think -- at the moment I'm using a Mac). Under the "Main" tab, hit "Use Current Pages", and it should add a list of comma-separated pages in the "Home Page" field.

JRE is just the runtime environment for Java, which is for the sole purpose of running applications that have already been compiled into Java bytecode. If you actually want to do any sort of software development with Java, you'll have to install the SDK, freely available from Sun's website.

Can you post the results of running [icode]lspci[/icode] and [icode]lsmod[/icode] at the terminal? Also, you might want to play around with alsamixer (another command-line program). You can toggle the mute status of a channel by hitting the 'm' key, up and down arrows control the volume, left and right change …

According to the message box the filesystem was not unmounted cleanly. This may or may not have resulted in file loss, but you have two options: mount it on Windows, or force-mount it on Ubuntu. Since you say you've got important data on there, I'd definitely recommend using Windows and …

Not really. Hardware support is usually provided by kernel modules, which means that if they exist on your system, they get autoloaded when the computer starts or sometimes even when new hardware is plugged into a running system. If you don't have the appropriate kernel modules to detect a particular …

>I'm wondering if I can modify and, therefore, save files that are on that Linux computer? Yes. >If it is possible, what are my options? You can almost certainly use something called SFTP (secure ftp), which uses the ssh protocol. Using this, you can download files, modify them on your …

>Unfortunately, the PC is not booting from the XP CD. How is it not booting from the XP CD? Have you configured the BIOS so that the CD drive is the top boot priority?

I'm not going to try to pretend that I'm any sort of web programming expert, but couldn't you modify your parser to change tab characters into spaces? That way you [I]could[/I] specify a manual tab width within the code tags, like Narue suggested.

[U][B]Instructions[/B][/U] (assuming you're still using Firefox): 1. Go to [url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10[/url] and hit [B]Add to Firefox[/B]. 2.

This should be what you're looking for: [url]http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/machine.php?name=powerbook-g3-wallstreet[/url] USB can be added through the computer's PCMCIA slot, although if it's only for an external hard drive, I'd recommend looking into a Firewire card instead. Firewire's a lot faster than USB, not to mention that it's bootable (so you could have …

Thread closed as the original link simply linked to a site that ripped off themes from [URL="http://unsanity.com/haxies/shapeshifter"]ShapeShifter[/URL]. While most ShapeShifter themes are freely available, they can only be used _after_ you purchase the software from Unsanity.

Libraries aren't executable in the same way that binaries are; really, they're just object files containing a few useful structures and routines that can be used by other software. As such, there is no reason to add library directories to the PATH variable, instead, they're usually added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and …

The browser doesn't "lose sync", 99% of the time it simply renders what it's given. In this case the source sent to the browser was broken (seemed like only half of the page's source was being sent), which the browser couldn't render.

...and a year later, we now come to know it as [URL="http://www.compiz-fusion.org/"]Compiz Fusion[/URL]. Closing thread because you've spammed this all over the forum now.

In your home directory, edit the file named [icode].bash_profile[/icode]. If this doesn't exist, create it. In that file, you can run scripts, set values for your environment variables, etc. It will be run every time you open a new Terminal window.

It all depends on the hotspot. Completely open hotspots (which seem to be the majority of them out there) tend to be relatively trouble-free, although you still might experience some connectivity issues if you're trying to connect from some distance away. Some are free, some are not. And strangely, some …

Indeed, for the Intel HDA sound card you need the OSS modules for ALSA installed. Simply running Alsa using the native set of drivers isn't going to work. Also... can you post the output of running [icode]lspci[/icode] in a terminal window?

Well, most likely the drive was formatted under the NTFS filesystem, for which Mac OS X has read-only capability. You can use the third party ntfs-3g driver to gain write access to your NTFS volume, but beware: it's still in beta and if you value your data I'd recommend having …

Not that I really have any experience using AmaroK or libgpod, but I'll see what I can do... I'd recommend doing your best to clean up your system before you start. If you've got any sort of GTKpod/libgpod/AmaroK-related thing in your package manager, remove it. Delete said programs that you …

Funnily enough, just last week I wrote a little howto on this (see my website in my signature for more info). The reason for the problem you're experiencing is that while most *nix distributions work fine when the setuid bit on a binary is turned on, the distributions specifically disable …

Here it is, right from the horse's mouth: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25668[/url] In short, under normal circumstances you shouldn't need to defragment an HFS+ volume, as Mac OS X tends to prevent fragmentation in the first place in the way that it caches the writing of files to the disk and automatic optimization …

I also like the new navigation menu. I particularly like the way the submenus allow for a larger font, improving readability. It looks much cleaner now.

My recommendation would be to try building under gcc 4.1.2 anyway. To my knowledge, gcc 4.1.1 and gcc 4.1.2 aren't dramatically different, so it's quite likely the build will succeed anyway. If it doesn't, you'll probably end up having to recompile your kernel.

Or I could just close the thread, considering it's unlikely anything productive is going to come out of this anyway.

My guess is that your permissions are screwed up. Try something like: [code]chmod 775 template_c[/code] This will ensure that both the user 'apache' and the group 'apache' will have read/write/execute permissions in the directory, while everyone else will have read/execute permissions.

Moved to Windows User's Lounge.

I've never installed PySndObj before, nor have I used SCons, but judging by the last 3 lines of output from your build you need to run [icode]scons install[/icode].

[QUOTE] from legal sources i aqcuired about 1gb[/QUOTE] I don't think you're supposed to discuss illegal things here, but "exceptions are helping to remove spyware or browser hijacks (that may or may not be related to illegal material) from a computer." Just quoting from the rules.

>Also, how can I remove my old 2.4 kernel that came with Ubuntu? If I recall correctly, you can remove kernels on a Debian-based system with: [code]apt-get remove linux-image-version[/code] If you don't know the exact version, try searching through your packages: [code]dpkg -l "linux-image*2.4*"[/code] Something like that.

>Are there any good Vi tutorials you can point me to? Gentoo has a very nice 'vi cheatsheet' guide. While it is a little bit more command-oriented (rather than being written like a tutorial), the style suits the topic well, as vi generally doesn't tend to be complex, it just …

Due to the way Mac OS 9 handles its filesystems (such as the way that the OS has no real concept of 'user account'), Migration Assistant cannot be used to transfer files from an OS 9 system. You'll just have to manually copy the files over. Sorry.
