What DLL, and what does Wine say about it?

Natively? It doesn't require a plugin wrapper? Is it 64bit flash, too?

Edit: Looks like it is 32bit.

Awesome, thanks for this analysis. This came from Debian Lenny, which uses the APT and DEB formats for package stuff. You would hope that it supported DRI on Santa Rosa with X3100 by now, infact, I know it does. I doubt I have to rebuild xserver-xorg for that to happen.

Should I perhaps switch to Gentoo from Debian for this reason?

Master/server box is listening, slave/client connects to it, so as long as Synergy is still running on the Linux box, it's the Windows client problem. Synergy is not supposed to disconnect while the box is up if it is started using its built-in startup configuration.

That's exactly what I figured. I think it's this crappy IBM fingerprint crap that replaced the standard login on this box. Irritating. If you lock the windows box, you get a different dialog box that allows you to use the stupid assed fingerprint scanner.

How do you connect to a wireless network through CLI? Sometimes KNetworkManager refuses to connect/reconnect to, and the GUI has no output whatsoever. I'm hoping that I can get some insight to what is going on with a verbose command, or something.

Just to elaborate a bit on my comment about mixing self compiled software with a binary distro. Say that you uninstall the Debian Xorg package and then re-install it manually from source. As far as the Debian package manager is concerned, you won't have Xorg installed! There's no way of telling it that you installed it from source yourself. It will just look at its database and say, "Nope. No Xorg installed". From then on, every time you try and install a .deb that lists Xorg as a dependency, it will fail. You can probably force it to install anyway, but then you'll just hit the next set of problems. The Xorg files that you installed manually probably won't be in the places that Debian expects. And if you solve that, you'll be where you are now - any official Debian packages that you install will have been compiled against the official Debian build of Xorg. Even if you've built exactly the same Xorg version that Debian uses from source, there will still be enough differences to cause the linking failures you're seeing (they usually manifest as "Symbol not found" errors). Also trying to keep track of where your manually installed files have gone is a nightmare.

how can I get multiple isolated desktops with compiz? In Ubuntu Feisty, I had four desktops, one for web browsing and IRC, the second for ktorrent, and a few other "monitoring" programs, the third for all my music apps, and the forth was nautilus windows for various directories I access often. It was great because each "desktop" had it's own taskbar, so the taskbar never had any more than 3 or so items on it.

I can't seem to get the same thing going now that I'm able to use compiz-fusion. I can get multiple desktops working, but they all seem to share the same taskbar. I've got like 500 things on the taskbar, which kind of defeats the purpose of having multiple desktops. Any ideas?

teapot posted:

It's an option in the window list applet configuration. Right-click on the drag bar at the left from the task bar, choose "properties", set it ti show only windows from the current desktop/viewport.

If four viewports aren't enough, you can add more horizontally (cube will become a prism) or switch from cube to wall to be able to use multiple rows of viewports.

nbv4 posted:

I don't think compiz pays attention to those settings. I indeed have that option set to "show windows from current workspace", but it's still showing all windows. There has to be a specific compiz setting, but I can't find it anywhere

I'm currently very, very, very, new to linux. At the moment, I have an xbox with Xbox media center on it, and am running Ubuntu Gutsty. Before I updated to gutsty, I was able to share files between my lappy, and xbox no problem. However now my xbox will not even detect the work group or my share folder, and for some reason ubuntu not even saving the share folder information correctly(system>admin>sharefolder then noting listed after I right clicked and hit share on the folder.

I've tried google, I've tried ubuntu forums for help, I've tried undestanding the samba website for any information to diagnos, and nothing seems to do it. I just want to be able to transfure again between the two since I use my Xbox as an video play for anything I may of downloaded, or currently have saved on my compy music wise.

Help me please

I'm a complete newbie to Linux, but I just installed it on one of the school computers in my Computer Maintenance & Repair class, just to gently caress around with it, and I've had trouble getting the video drivers installed. It's Ubuntu 7.10, and the computer's video is just an integrated piece of poo poo VIA Chrome9, so as you could've expected, I've had trouble actually finding drivers for it. I did manage to find a package with the source code for the drivers, which I have to compile myself.

I've been at it for the past week or so (obviously distracted, since this is a class and we actually do stuff in it), and both my teacher and I can't seem to figure out how to compile this driver for the life of us.

I haven't been able to find what the option is to compile the whole folder as one package for the driver install, so I've just been trying to compile one file, just to learn how to properly use the "gcc" command, but I can't figure that out either. I think I might just be getting the syntax wrong, but I type "gcc accel.c" (one of the source codes in the folder) and it just gives me a bunch of errors. The header file is included in the source code itself, so I don't think that's the problem. Including some of the options I've found in "man gcc" don't seem to help (several thousands of lines of text for that manual, sheesh!).

This happens if you don't run Nautilus. No idea if it is still a problem in newer versions of GNOME, however the fix is to add this into your session where Nautilus was:

code:

/usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background --type boolean true

"sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-unichrome" does not work?

I just tried that today and it didn't seem to do anything at all. It installed those drivers just fine, but there were no new options in the Resolution settings or anything. When I went to the Screen and Resolution settings under the Administration tab, it said I was still using the "vesa" drivers, and nothing about Unichrome, or Chrome9, or VIA, or anything was in there.

Another strange thing is the monitor is set to "LCD Panel 1024 x 768," (it's a CRT) and this only allows for 60Hz, since it thinks it's an LCD monitor. If I set it to "Monitor 1024 x 768," the options for more refresh rates are there, but when I change it to any refresh rate, including 60Hz, when I log off to apply the changes, the display gets all hosed up and I can't see any of the graphics. The only way to fix it is it to go into recovery mode and edit xorg.conf and change it back; so the only way to have working graphics is to tell it it's an LCD. Another strange thing I noticed is whenever I set it to "Monitor 1024 x 768," it seems to default to 24-bit color--and some strange widescreen resolution--in xorg.conf for some reason, even though I set it to 1024 x 768. Changing it to 16- or 32-bit makes it work; I don't know if maybe the monitor just can't handle that color depth, or what.

I'm clearly misunderstanding how permissions work under UNIX, but I'm not sure why. As far as I can tell, /usr/bin/fusermount should be runnable by me, but it is not - it does not even show up during bash auto-completion.

code:

[simon@simon-desktop][10:48:01]
[~]>whoami
simon
[simon@simon-desktop][10:53:43]
[~]>groups `whoami`
simon : simon adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner netdev lpadmin powerdev [b]fuse[/b] admin kqemu
[simon@simon-desktop][10:53:51]
[~]>ls -l /usr/bin/fusermount
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root [b]fuse[/b] 19456 2007-03-12 22:34 /usr/bin/fusermount
[simon@simon-desktop][10:54:05]
[~]>/usr/bin/fusermount

[~]>ls -l /dev/fuse
crw-rw---- 1 root fuse 10, 229 2007-10-21 08:38 /dev/fuse

If I chmod o+x /usr/bin/fusermount then it will at least start (although I can't do anything with it as I don't have write access to /dev/fuse), but I don't see why I need to, or why I don't have permission to write to /dev/fuse. What am I missing? Google throws up lots of pages about the ssh fuse system not working, but I am not using ssh.

I was trying to think of a way to use the CLI to change the IP address of a NIC while ONLY using the CLI and this is what I came up with (this is for ubuntu/debian):

sed 's/\(address\).*/address 192.168.100.245/' /etc/network/interfaces > /home/pat/interfaces; mv /home/pat/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces

This seems like a really stupid way of doing it, but it works - is there a better way of doing this?

Edit: I was pretending like I didn't know what the IP address of the machine was, and also that the machine only had one NIC since I realize this would change BOTH NICs IP.
