Hey guys,

currently writing a script that sets up an environment to do some work with several programs. It asks the user questions and based on that creates a set of variables that suits.

I want those variables to be available in the bash process that the user executed the script in... the only ...

hey folks,

got a little prob, trying to upgrade to gnome 2.12, but it stumbles at control center

I thought apple released the GUI+mouse device setup first... it just never took off?

Not too sure if this is relevant... seems to refer to the ability to only show minimised windows in the task bar... so that ones currently restored do no appear...?

I love the gibberish 2

First of all if you use Windows properly than there is no need to reinstall every 3 months. Most importantly -- dont run as Admin, like most people do! That's just as bad (if not worse) than running Linux as root. Very very common mistake, and actually is the source of most troubles surrounding ...

what type of mouse do you have?

if usb, did you compile support into the kernel?

worked for me as well, thanks

There are several possible areas in /dev your mouse could be... have a wee seach though the forums to find the possibilities... to check if its the right one...

cat "insert possible location here" and then move the mouse... if u get a stream of weird characters... thats the correct one

Could be wrong... but

btw, thanks for the tip in using the win key to switch desktop... a use I wouldn't have thought of

I suppose from a coding perspective designers may never come across it or thought of it as a feature... but although I agree your definition of how things have been coded, with that in mind, certainly it should be easy to code... especially in something like KDE where it aspires to be as feature ...

hmm... thats a good point... windows mentality of needing a nice taskbar to represent everything... should probably be replaced by a linux mentality to use virtual desktops and therefore a short alt-tab list...

Suprised though that linux is lacking this functionality... I mean, its coded and ...

lol, yeah, thats exactly it

I think I need to take up school in explaining things better...

Thats exactly what I want, 2 taskbars, X thinking its 1 screen so I can move windows between screens and the taskbars automatically updating what tasks it holds based on where I move windows

as far as I know, xinerama will do the throw between windows no problem... but I don't know any window manager that supports dual taskbars, or identifies tasks that should be in the task bar based on the screen it is viewed on... know what I mean?

Hey folks,

Now that cedega is increasing becoming better and better for my gaming... linux has turned from something that I use and tweak actively in work, to hopefully a full, no need for dual boot replacement for windows.

There is just one niggle that windows seems to do better. Currently what I ...

Hey folks,

I run 2 xservers using nvidias twinview off the same card... (basically2 desktops side by side)

I also play games, via transgaming... mostly CS:S... problem is, if I run CS:S windowed, I get around 20fps... run it full screen, I get 70+... so, as you can see I want to run it full screen ...

Hey all,

Santa was very kind to me this year and brought me a nice piece of kit =D

Using a DFI Lanparty UT 250GB with raid to stripe 2x250GB disks (combined around 1/2 a terabyte).

Basically for years, I have wanted to avoid moving files between partitions (roll on ZFS!) but, now that I have my ...

Speedtouch support now works in 2.6.6 (love sources) but still the error persists...

Any ideas any1?

it's a strange error.

Hey all,

have one I haven't been able to find in the forums here.. With almost every kernel I have messed with (love, ck, gentoo-dev, all 2.6) I have been getting problems with IRQ #18?

Don't quite understand what is going on, but it appears to be affecting things like mplayer playback (pauses for ...

you should be able to set it to "M" module using menuconfig and then modprobe it...

iif you can't (i don't understand why) you could always "nano -w .config" and change the value to "=m"

for more help... please tell us the exact error for ur modprobe.

My problem had a different origin. I found that a .config file in my HOME was the problem by using kBugBuster (#67824). At some point I had copied my kernel's .config file to my HOME. When I upgraded KDE the freedesktop standard apparently called for menus to be stored in a .config DIRECTORY in the ...
