Diary Of An x264 Developer 10/18/2009 (3:04 am) Open source collaboration done right For years I’ve dealt with all sorts of horrific situations when dealing with open source. Like software modules written by different teams on a badly managed commercial project, different open source projects tend to defensively program around each others’ flaws rather than actually submitting patches to fix them. There are even entire projects built...

Great, but you made a sort of workaround (change perms to resolv.conf). DHCP writes to resolv.conf that's why it doesn't keep your changes. The place to look at is /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf There you can add a line like Code: Select all prepend domain-name-server 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

couldn't argue that one and wouldn't try to . I'm at the point in our conversatioun where I must say, "Your points are well made and tacit. I do it this way because ... well ... it's working, annnnndddd I know how I did it. So I like it." Which doesn't mean there aren't much better ways to do it.

you can have multiple desktops installed at one time, I recomend however that you use multiple users and KDM to manage them.

Hi, well those packages ain't in testing yet, so you've to wait or install them from SID or make your own source voodoo thing P.S. Those are special packages with deep OpenSuse implication now as you can see: mysql-query-browser (5.0r14+openSUSE-2 and others) mysql-admin (5.0r14+openSUSE-2 and others)

My gosh - that's a really old tutorial methinks. All you need is the /etc/hosts part (looks good), and the directories under /var/www/example.com (and so forth), and then to add virtualhosts to apache2 you can simply edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and go off the example <virtualhost> statement provided to setup more than one (eg: add more to the end of that file).

I had a similar problem. My onboard audio is snd-hda-intel, my webcam had an audio device snd_usb_audio You may have to do something similar. Include the following lines to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.conf. This is to make sure that snd_hda_intel should be loaded before snd_usb_audio. Change snd_hda_intel and snd_usb_audio to whatever kernel module you use. Code: Select all # ...

Personally I would rather see the answer than a 'man' or RTFM response. Five years of running Sid and I think I have looked at a man page maybe once or twice and that was in response to someone asking a question in #debian. Telling some one to look at a 'man whatever' especially if they are a newb doesn't help them and is a good way to make them think linux or maybe just debian isn't really for...

If you were setup for sudo it would have been your password (not the admin one). 2) What's the output of the following (as root): Code: Select all fdisk -l vgdisplay lvdisplay (That's a lowercase L with fdisk) Also do you have ntfs-3g installed?

If your application works with strings, then it's very handy to use a language like Perl or Python which has tons of built-in support for handling text.
