Hi, I'm pretty new to Unix/Linux. I am running Debian Squeeze (Stable) with emacs23 installed, but there is no documentation! My limited Google skills showed that the documentation is non-free ?, and I need to include non-free in my sources list. However I couldn't find any information on this.. ...
I'm not sure if hardware questions are alright here, I didn't see many. I am trying to install any Linux operating system on an eBox 3300. I am having trouble, and the only thing I have been able to get to work is Ubuntu's Netbook Remix. I would rather have fedora/ Debian/ or just about anything ...
I accidentally hid the bottom panel and created another panel on the right side of the screen. That panel is on top of the button to show the bottom panel again. The panel on the right is unclickable and I cant figure out how to delete it.
Is there some config file i can edit to delete that pane...
Hi,
I have an NFS share on an OpenBsd server. When I assess the share from my Ubuntu box I don't seem to have all permission eg write. Also copying a file from the NFS share to the Ubuntu machine can take > 1 hour for a 44mb file. Any suggestions?
Thanks
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 version. Recently i am finding this error. When i used to close the skype client then it used to go up to the desktop. ( The above panel where time and date are generally displayed.) Now when i am closing it get's closed and i don't know where it's located. Then when i try...
I've set up emacs to display line numbers (global-linum-mode 1), and it works until I start enlarging the text via text-scale-adjust
The line numbers column starts to shrink, and disappears entirely after 5 increments.
Further increments do not effect the left edge any more.
Is this a know ...
Hello,
I currently use KRDC on CentOS, but mouse pointer is a little slow and I'm sure that this is not caused by my internet line speed, because on windows RDP client works everything fine...
Can someone tell me which RDP client is the best choice on CentOS or any other linux os?
BR, Wolfy
I am having an issue trying to use parallel command on Ubuntu 10.04. I looked up the parallel documentation and few of the commands seem to run. In all cases I just get the command prompt back without any action being taken. e.g. I was trying to compress a bunch of files using bzip2

When I start up my Red Hat box I see a progress meter in the center of the screen that has a button that says "Show Details...". When I click on this button, I see a console like screen that shows the starting up of the services and such. After the startup has completed and after I log in, is t...
"Linux supports the dynamic loading of kernel modules. "
I read this from a book written by Robert Love. He said this is the difference between linux an Unix. But I recall there is also KLD in FreeBSD?
So is KLD also can be seen as dynamic loading of kernel modules?
Please enlighten me. Thank you
I have built my app for different architectures and would like to create a "dynamic symlink" which takes me to the right version based on a variable.
If the machine I am currently logged in to, is x86, then the symlink should take me to that build.
A mocked example of what I want to do:

I'm sure this will be an easy one for a linux guru, but my google searches haven't turned up nothing helpful :(
I created a new user on our ubuntu server and I no longer have the bash auto/smart completion (pressing tab once finishes your current phrase if possible. Two tabs give you a ls).

Hello people. I'm looking for some tips and tricks on how to improve the performance of OpenOffice on my desktop. Any ideas, tutorials or articles on this? Thanks in advance!

@Tshepang You used to ask lots of questions like that; it's like asking "how do I make my computer faster" -- there are thousands of valid answers. SE sites are supposed to be for specific questions that have specific answers; it should be obvious when an answer comes in that it's the right one
That's why I'm not a big fan of these software-rec questions, but we've been allowing them
I don't think there's a magic plugin to make openoffice faster; if anything it would make it slower. It could be anything: it was built wrong, hard drive problems, lack of memory, general computer slowness
Hello. I just want to install the operating system and SSH printserver .
I just burned the first DVD of the 8 avaible for the amd64 architecture.
How many DVDs should i burn in order the operating system to install ?
Note: Connection is slow as hell that is why i choose DVD solution
I'm sure the issue has been discussed many times on MSO; I don't think we have one on meta.UL
There's a section in the FAQ about question types you shouldn't ask; this part is probably relevant:
> If your motivation for asking the question is "I would like to participate in a discussion about ______ ”, then you should not be asking here. If your motivation is "I would like others to explain ______ to me”, then you are probably OK.
@Tshepang I'm not against questions with multiple valid answers in principle (I'm more liberal than Michael on this issue). But this question is so broad that there's no real way to decide if an answer is at all valid.
It doesn't specify a version of OO, it doesn't say on what OS, it doesn't say where the problem is (startup? file opening? basic edits? printing? …), it doesn't quantify the perceived slowness (in fact it doesn't even say that OO is slow, so maybe we're called on to fix a non-problem), etc.
Example of a good question: “OO on Ubuntu 10.10 takes 30 seconds to open this file (link) on my recent desktop PC, the file takes 1 second to open on my friend's Windows machine, what could be the problem?”
@Tshepang Not particularly, I don't find OO too slow to start on my machine (~5s with a cold disk cache, ~0.5s the second time, that's on a PC that was top-of-the-line about 3 years ago, running Debian lenny amd64)
@Tshepang good point, I've linked to chat in a comment
