  1. I've heard nothing of either of those two things, FX. And refusing to help the NSA or the US Govt in tracking down terrorists??? That could be a good or a bad thing...they both have extremely overstepped their bounds and continue to. More speculation that suddenly becomes true.
  2. Try this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answer...VCD_SVCD_or_DVD Though I have no experience with it, it seems very understandable.
  3. My understanding is that Bioware is only involved insomuch that they own the rights to the graphic engine that Atari and Obsidian are porting* to DirectX. I could be wrong about that, but my understanding was that Bioware was not much more than 'consultant' in this endeavor. I've never completely understood the Atari -> Bioware / Atari -> Obsidian connection. I guess one would have to be a game developer to comprehend it. :D * I could be using the wrong terminology here.
  4. NWN2 is not being produced by Bioware as far as I know. Atari got Obsidian to develop the game, I thought.
  5. Apache was not parsing my .htaccess file because in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf there was still a line AllowOverride None for /var/www/html and that overrode the AllowOverride All in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf. Edit: FWIW, the line in .htaccess has to be: ForceType application/x-httpd-php
  6. I have a php-gd script to output an image: http://omarserenity.com/end.php and, to use it in my sig, I named it end.png and added this in my .htaccess file: <Files end.png> ForceType application/x-php </Files> I also tried: ForceType application/x-httpd-php When I try to view the image here: http://omarserenity.com/end.png I get: I have restarted apache each time I edited my .htaccess file. The image here: http://omarserenity.com/end.php is exactly the same script as end.png and end.php works fine. The end.png script worked perfectly in MDV 2005 LE.

  7. When popfile successfully starts, you will be able to connect to it....the port will open. Your problem is here: POPFile Engine v0.20.0 running Can't locate object method "get_user_path_" via package "POPFile::History" at POPFile/History.pm line 1167 Which means popfile died. I have found no answer to the problem. The "There seems to be a running instance..." error is one I have been getting lately, even though popfile is not actually running. It's annoying but harmless.
  8. Just make the script: ifdown eth1 ifup eth1 exit Then in the terminal as root: chown root:root sbb chmod +x sbb chmod +s sbb Then the script is executable by you, but runs as root. Be careful with the +s option in chmod on scripts that take commandline arguments...they can possibly be used to breach security.
  9. For fluxbox, I put it in ~/.fluxbox/startup. Make sure you put it above: exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox and put it in there as idesk & or the system will hang. What window manager/desktop environment are you using?
  10. If you are behind a router, they usually have builtin firewalls or you could set up a software firewall on your linux box...shorewall for example.
  11. I am now at my Linux box and here is my ~/.bash_profile: # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_04 PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH export PATH export JAVA_HOME unset USERNAME
  12. install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true Should all be one line: install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true Or install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe \ ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
  13. Sure. Place the executable in in User1's /home/User1/bin directory. (If it is not there, you can create the directory with this command: mkdir /home/User1/bin Then in that user's /home/User1/.bash_profile add that directory to the PATH variable or if the 'export PATH' line is not there, add it like this: export PATH=$PATH:/home/User1/bin I am not at my Linux box right now, but I think .bash_profile is where you add it.
  14. For the pkgs in main it is also looking in blahblah/main/main an extra 'main' in there as well.
  15. The only way smart can not find the pkg it is looking for is if the hdlist it is using is pointing to the wrong pkg. Where does it get the hdlist?
  16. Ex Evolution user, then switched to Sylpheed/Sylpheed-claws. When Thunderbird came out, I tried and used it for a little while. I hated how complex it was to set up...and I am an experienced Linux user. Now back on Sylpheed-claws. Spam filters are not important to me...that is what Popfile is for.
  17. This has nothing to do with smart or apt. The mirror you are using has the wrong package name listed in its hdlist.cz and/or synthesis.hdlist.cz. Try changing your mirror and I bet you get different results.
  18. I decided to try it out. With 2006 (installed from 2005 through urpmi), I just urpmi smart-gui, smart-update, and smart (along with ksmarttray). I then went to the easyurpmi site to add mirrors, assuming that there were no mirrors set up on it initially. Then I decided to use it to see if there were any updates. Much to my surprise, there were already mirrors configured....Cooker mirrors....so now I am running Cooker. As an experienced user, this is not a real problem, but could be for a beginner or novice. I had gotten fed up with Cooker being way more unstable than it had been historically, so I hadn't used it in about a year, but apparently, I am back now. Anyway, my opinion of smart is I give it a B-: Cooker mirrors set up initially: bad Non-intuitive interface: bad (I thought this tool should be used to help the inexperienced)
  19. What is the output of ls -l /dev/dvd ? If it is a symlink to something other than /dev/sdX (X being a,b,c,d, or something), then you are not having the dvd drive recognized as SATA. If it is using the SATA driver for it, DMA is enabled by default and cannot be changed.
  20. Shane, try booting a LiveCD like the latest Knoppix or Kanotix and if it has the tiltwheel working properly, copy the mouse configuration down and use that in your Mandriva xorg.conf. That is, if you aren't wiping out Mandriva or whatever. Just a thought/ Those two live cds have the most awesome hardware detection ever.
  21. It probably has to do with something in preferences about 'middle-click open a search' or something. Somehow, there is 'gnb' in your clipboard. Try highlighting a word in a webpage and then middle-clicking and I bet you go to a page similar to whatever word you just highlighted. I am using FF 1.0.2 and don't see that option in my preferences anymore, but I recall something like it in earlier versions.
