I use ndiswrapper to wrap a Broadcomm driver and the only problem I have is that all wireless signals are shown as 0% strength. Aside from that though all is well. Switching networks works without any problems as far as I can tell using the netapplet/ndiswrapper combo.

Put this line in your ~/.bashrc (assuming it is being sourced as you say):

export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'

Then in your next bash session (open another term) you will have a prompt similar to the one you want I think. It can be adjusted as you see fit. To get ...

Does everyone that has it working have accurate signal strengths being reported? All my wireless interfaces show 0% strength even though they are quite strong. Any ideas?

Thanks,

These packages that are breaking, I'm curious about. Are they all (or at least a majority of them) related to each other? For example, is it GNOME updates that break? KDE? I know GNOME has been a little shaky for the past year maybe due to API and technology changes. Stuff like that should not ...

For the Vimmers out there, this makes all man pages show in a nicely syntax highlighted format.

In your ~/.bashrc Enjoy,

Thanks for the replys. I knew it! :)

Of course wrapping a "new" in a function doesn't make much sense, so simplify your code by replacing calls to "CreateObject()" with the "new" operator.
Yeah I just did that for the purposes of this demo code. I needed to incorporate use of the call stack to ...

Avoid the "shared video memory" that is common with laptops, and avoid Celeron type chips that are also common. I have a laptop with both of these "features" and it has pitiful performance compared to my desktop that has half the power according to the numbers on the side of the box.

Even compiling ...

Hello,

I should first mention that although I am not an inexperienced programmer, not much of that experience has been with C++. I'm quite comfortable with C memory management. That may explain why I am confused :) . Anyways, please consider the following code.


Object& CreateObject()
{
Object ...

Did you ever figure out the problem with that Java IOException regarding the lockfile? I'm having the same issue.

You'll probably get as many opinions in this thread as there are Jabber clients. Since you do not like Qt (nor do I), I'll recomment Gossip as a GTK+ Jabber client.

It's quite nice.

If only Gentoo and Redhat used the same compiler...

I'll not even bother looking at the posted code.

If you are very new to Linux, and have had no experience with it at all, a nice place to start is a LiveCD like Gnoppix or Knoppix . The first uses GNOME as it's desktop environment, and the second uses KDE. Which you want to use is up to you, maybe you already know, maybe you don't. You could ...

Here is a nice tutorial that will get you going with GTK+ and the GNU autotoolset, and here is another by the same author that adds internationalization. Both very nice and mostly current tutorials.

Aside from that, the official tutorial is nice as is looking at the code of some simple, well ...

I bet that if a poll were created, and people were honest, that we'd find that the vast majority of the etc-update catastrophes immediately follow an "emerge -up world" command that was in seated in cron.daily or something similar. I think the true problem may be the obsession that newer Gentoo ...

Hi. I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question... It is kinda hardware related.

Anyways, my question is this:

Do modern printers use the black ink cartridge to print the black parts of color documents? My old printer could only have one cartridge (black or color) in it at a time, so I ...

Lemme guess... Due tomorrow?

Good thing irc.gnome.org is just about useless!

Nice to see you so positively contributing to the cause. Nice job, I'm sure it helped.

~djc

Not that I condone the actions of yosh or anything, but we all have bad days. The victim could see the problem excelating and would not shut it. He knew he was arguing with an op. He must have known that the impression of the others in the channel of Gentoo users is not that much of a stretch ...

The most difficult part is unlearning what you have learned from Windows. Or at least learning to not try to apply that knowledge to Linux.

Spider-man, and uhhh... Let's see. Spider-man 2.

The day Linux becomes mainstream is the day it begins to suck.

It appears nobody is gettin' my point, so I'm outta here. We've degraded into just another thread again.

You are correct about not having to use the features proposed if you don't want to. My problem with such features is not the fact that they exist (I may use some myself for all I know), it's the users they attract ( generally I don't mean you necessarily).

Now don't get me ...

Hello,

I upgraded from courier-imap 2.1.2 to 3.0.7 yesterday. When I ran etc-update, I overwote all old config files (on purpose, I don't recall changing any when I first installed).

Now I cannot connect to the server. The service is running, but authdaemond is not. The init script for authdaemond ...
