A Linux Distribution for an Old Laptop

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:35:39 GMT

clipped by: rj3sp

I currently have three functional computers: My server (which runs Gentoo Linux), the game and MIDI desktop computer (running Windows XP) and a laptop which currently runs Windows XP. My goal is to find a Linux distribution that is appropriate for my laptop without having to remove Windows XP.

Linux MCE Video Demo: Impressive!

You can download this video in high-def with the text sharp and readable: http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Video

Running on Kubuntu, Linux MCE is probably the most advance Media center in the market, and probably the best option for your digital home… if you are a Linux savvy.
I must admit that installation for the Linux MCE is straight-forward. Now, the configuration of many of the features in the video, including simply to discover media in other PCs in your network, might take some more time and IT skills.

Ubuntu - Itunes replacements

check gtkpod work great
You can as well use some amarock plugins
I rather prefer gtkpod for my ipod.
and for ripping
under kde it rip all by itself if you read a cd (you just choose the ogg: mp3 or else)
other like grip as well very good riper..(gogo,flac,ogg...=)

Or just use Rhythmbox or Quod Libet or anything else that works. But actually, the best replacement would probably be Amarok, but it is QT based. I hate using QT (KDE) apps in Gnome personally but if you can live with it, give it a try. Very impressive app, and it's available from the official sources (1.3.5 in the repositories, 1.3.7 from the Kubuntu site).

Live CD built from Slax (a Linux OS distro)

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 04:36:09 GMT

clipped by: nuttyirishman

Clip Source: www.extremetech.com

Live CDs are essentially fully bootable, self-contained operating systems on a single CD or DVD. They're used to experiment with an alternative OS. They're also incredibly useful for fixing problems on systems that suddenly can't boot.

Knoppix is the first and most successful Linux live CD and is a veritable kitchen sink of software, cramming approximately 1.5GB of software into a 700MB CD image.

Knoppix 5.11 has added fully operational read/write support for NTFS partitions

Essentially, Kubuntu (as is the rest of its clan) is a demo disc, intended to promote a very fine Linux distro

Clip Source: www.extremetech.com

Slax is fully modular in its design. This means Slax distributes the thousands of files that comprise the system across several modules/files, unlike Knoppix and the like, where all of their files reside in a single, enormous compressed file.

I keep a library of ready-made Slax modules on my hard drive, so I can make different Slax discs to address different missions.

Found solution to bug in v2.05 Clipmarks

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 04:40:29 GMT

clipped by: praefex
clipper's remarks: Running Kubuntu 7.04 and Firefox 2. Check my site for the rest of the info, but for now here it is. This took a little investigating to find the oslution, but it presented itself. With no references < link href=""> in the source of the pop-over window for the new clipper window, I went to the CM.com homepage, which loads all the "CM" stylesheets and JS files. Bingo, problem solved.

Clip Source: criticalcode.com

UPDATE: So I found a fix for this. Looks like the "first time clipper window" relys on a style sheet to be loaded in the parent frame. So if you are on clipmarks.com, the support for the button-click's id= is present. If you load clipmarks and try to start it on any other site for the first time, you are totally SOL. This should be an easy fix for the team. :-)

Found a rather debilitating bug in Clipmarks 2.05

As you can see here, there is no events or clickable things being spawned here. I removed the html and head tags as they don't help this explanation at all. There are no included files or what-not in them. All they need to do is fix this and it would make me so happy!!!! So to fix the problem, remove and reinstall Clipmarks and try again. YMMV.

Mythbuntu

Providing an Ubuntu based MythTV distribution that is easy to configure, maintain, and use.

About Mythbuntu

Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative focused upon setting up a standalone MythTV system similar to Knoppmyth or Mythdora. At the time, it is not a Canonical sanctioned project because of the licensing on several of the MythTV dependencies. Mainly, it can be seen as a preconfigured Ubuntu install for mythtv usage. All unnecessary applications such as OpenOffice, Evolution, and a full Gnome desktop are not installed for a Mythbuntu installation. At any time, a user may choose to install ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, or xubuntu-desktop and add a full desktop onto their installation.

Wubi

The thing that will surely amaze you is not that Wubi will install Ubuntu (with its flavors: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, UbuntuStudio) on your system without you having to deal with a mind-blowing row of tasks before finally having it ready to run, but that it will not affect your file system in any manner. As you can read on Wubi's FAQ page, "Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is installed within a file in the windows file system ( c:\wubi\disks\system.virtual.disk ), this file is seen by Linux as a real hard disk."

HOW-TO: ubuntu multimediale: codec, flash, java...

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 07:47:35 GMT

clipped by: daewen
clipper's remarks: Davvero utile, ora posso aprire qualsiasi file ^_^

Clip Source: forum.ubuntu-it.org

mi propongo di fare una guida semplice che possa essere di aiuto a chi, appena installata ubuntu, si trova di fronte al problema della mancanza dei codec multimediali.
prerequisito fondamentale è una connessione ad internet funzionante, dopodiché in pochi minuti potrete gustarvi tutta (spero) la musica e tutti i video in vostro possesso.
la guida è pensata per utenti di k/x/ubuntu dapper o edgy
ci sono differenze se avete installato la versione x86 o quella a 64 bit (ma dovrebbe essere abbastanza chiaro), quindi fate attenzione.

cominciamo:

1 REPOSITORY
per poter scaricare tutti i pacchetti di cui avremo bisogno, dobbiamo possedere una buona lista di repository
per fare questo dare il comando

(uso nano perchè è comune a tutte le ditribuzioni, ma gli utilizzatori di ubuntu possono usare gedit e quelli di kubuntu kate, che sono editor più semplici)

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Creare la propria ubuntu personalizzata con UCK

clipper's remarks: Semplice, ma dalle infinite possibilità. Il software promette bene!

Clip Source: pollycoke.wordpress.com

Ubuntu Customization Kit è esattamente quello che cercate per creare una distro personalizzata a partire da una Ubuntu! Beh almeno io cercavo da tempo una cosa del genere… UCK svolge il compito, finora abbastanza arduo, di creare la propria distro personale con una semplicità estrema. Avrete solo bisogno di:

Una immagine iso di Ubuntu o Kubuntu, io ho provato con una Dapper.
UCK, già impacchettato e scaricabile da qui. Basta cliccarci su per installarlo (testato con Dapper)
Accesso a Internet per scaricare aggiornamenti o personalizzazioni ;-)
Qualche GB di spazio su disco (5 sono sufficienti)

L’utilizzo è talmente semplice che quasi mi imbarazzo a descriverlo, quindi mi limito a mostrarvi alcune schermate esplicative, magari commentandole un po’…

E finalmente la nuova iso è pronta! Non ci resta che provarla con qemu:

Ed ecco la mia freschissima PollyCokeLinux, altrimenti detta “Pollybuntu” o …felibuntu o0

qemu -boot d -cdrom livecd.iso -m 450

Ottimo Software!

Start a Program Manually with Root Privileges

Sometimes it is necessary to run a program with root privileges. This is easy to do with the Run Command dialog.

Warning

Please be careful while running applications with root privileges as you may damage your system. See the section called "Root And Sudo" for more details.

Open the Run Command dialog by typing: Alt-F2
Enter the name of the program you wish to run, prefixed with kdesu and press Enter. For example, to launch the file manager Konqueror with root privileges, type

kdesu konqueror
