Harokey posted:Can anyone comment on the use of docking stations in linux? How easy is it for the display to change from my laptop screen to docking station screen, to laptop + docking station? This works fairly easily in windows (automatically) but found I'd have to restart X before when I did it in linux. Is this still the case? Is there some software or guide that I should look at?

rdiff-backup uses rsync. What filesystem is the external drive? The incremental backup scheme I've seen uses hard links to link to unchanged files and I don't think they're supported with FAT32.

Kaluza-Klein posted:The external drive is ext3. Sure, the only thing I'm familiar with is a straight rsync method for use on the DNS-323 NAS device (http://forum.dsmg600.info/t2125-DNS-323-Rsync-Time-Machine!.html) and it handles incremental backups by using hard links... each dated folder looks like a whole new directory tree. I was just checking that the filesystem supported hard links figuring that rdiff-backup would use a similar method. So in other words I'm out of ideas.

Theseus posted:I've been toying with replacing the Windows Vista installation on my laptop with Fedora 10, but my past experiences with Linux and wireless networking have stopped me. One of the networks I need to be able to connect to is WPA-Personal network with TKIP and a hidden SSID, but I was unable to get a (very old) desktop with Slackware installed to connect to it. After days of fiddling the best I was able to do was to get it to see the access point. So my question is this: Is this a common issue, is there a way around these problems as a network user (not administrator), and if so, how would I go about implementing it on a Fedora box? This is currently the only thing standing in the way of replacing Vista. I need to be able to connect to a WPA-Enterprise network using TKIP as well. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520. Why don't you boot up the newest Fedora or Ubuntu live CD and see if everything works. It's probably the easiest way to find out. Doc Faustus posted:I'm working on the latest version of Ubuntu. Does anyone have a guaranteed to work method of mounting CIFS shares? All the instructions I find involve editing /etc/fstab, which seems to be un-editable on my system (or something) You have to be root to edit fstab. You can use Nautilus to connect to CIFS shares, but I don't remember if they look like a filesystem to non-gnome applications. yippee cahier fucked around with this message at 03:34 on May 5, 2009 |

and honestly the package manager is the greatest feature found on a Linux desktop. All those codecs were probably in there somewhere and probably even had a metapackage to install them all in one go. You'll even get updates installed automatically when they're available.

Definitely know that the package manager is the only way you should be installing things on your system. A lot of the guides you'll find on forums will tell you to download some package and install it outside of the package management system, even though it might be in another repository. It's so much easier to have your system update itself.

Ubuntu netbook remix? Never used it, but it should be optimized for high DPI / low resolution and have the launching dashboard already.

thelightguy posted:Is there any kernel parameter I can use to override the auto-detected IRQ for my computer's IDE bus? The 2.6 kernel broke the auto-config routine in the driver for the IDE adapter in my laptop, and also conveniently removed the idex=base,ctl,irq kernel parameter that would let me override it's faulty detection. Genius move there, devs. Isn't everyone using libata now?

bawfuls posted:My windows 7 RC is expiring, so I've been messing around with Ubuntu on a whim. I'm using 9.10 (via wubi), and flash will not install properly. Every time I go to download/install it, I get the option to "enable software channel" which I accept, it prompts for the root password, then starts downloading the package but hangs indefinitely on file 48 of 49.
