I have some of my websites running on Virtual Private Servers (VPS) over on Unixshell. For months now my server’s time has been 2 hours ahead of my time here in Calgary. I didn’t really mind that until I started running Citadel, my groupware server, off one of those VPSs. It’s really annoying to have […]
In a recent entry, I indicated that there was a No Machine Firefox extension that could be used to connect to CosmoPOD. I’ve taken another look at my Firefox install and in fact, I appear to be using the java client and not a Firefox extension. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be a No […]
I think it’s pretty widely known that getting some hardware to work with Linux can be kind of a hit and miss proposition. Some wifi cards work and some don’t. You might have to jump throught a lot of hoops to get your video or sound working and power issues are also common.
End users […]
I’ve been using CosmoPOD a lot lately and I’ve really found it useful.
If you haven’t heard of CosmoPOD, it’s a site where you can get your very own (almost) fully functional KDE desktop. There are a few different ‘online desktops’ out there such as Goowy, but CosmoPOD is much more.
Personally, I use CosmoPOD […]
There are a couple of new resources for beginner Linux users that I thought might be fun to post about. The first is the Linux Newbie blog on Linux World Net (disclosure: Linux World Net is my blog network). Ken Brown writes of his trials and tribulations with Linux and it’s really a good read. […]
I ran across this script on Linux Questions. It will copy (cp) all files in a user’s home directory that have changed in the last X number of days into /tmp/backup for further processing (likely burning to a CD or DVD). Now there are many, many ways to backup files in GNU/Linux, but this is […]
I’m going to tell you straight up that none of these solutions have worked for me on my Dapper 6.06 box. I’ve actually had Flash sound before, but it’s apparently gone now and I don’t know why. Anyhow, during my travels on how to fix this little problem, I ran across a thread on Linux […]
In the GNU/Linux operating system, the rights that any given user has to a file are largely decided by their relationship to the owner of the file. If you’re into punishment, I’ve explained fie permissions in my stunningly boring OGG file and my even more boring written entry on the chmod command.
In essence, a before […]
What more can I say? It’s here and WOW it just worked ™ for me!
It’s pretty graphic intensive, but my shiny ATI x1400 Radeon handles it flawlessly. I have to admit, even though it’s not free software, I’m so glad that Google is paying attention to us Linux heads. First Picasa and now Google […]
There aren’t a lot of situations where you might want to manually unmount a file system, but sometimes memory sticks or CDRoms won’t unmount automatically for you, so you’ll need to do take care of that. To unmount a file system, you can identify it either by device name or mount point.
Consider a memory […]
