Debian :: How To Disable Balloon Tips

Dec 13, 2010

I'm looking for a way to delay or disable the balloon tips that appear when pointing the curser at certain things. Example: In applications>accessories>archive manager; when the curser is touching "archive manager" for more than 1-second, a balloon tip window appears that says "Create and modify an archive." I would like to increase the delay before the balloon tip appears to be 5 seconds or more, as I rarely need this feature. If delay is not possible then I'd elect to disable it, if that can be done. I've searched Google and these forums but have not found any posts. I'm thinking the setting may be hidden somewhere in the "Configuration Editor," but I haven't been able to find it.

Debian :: Tips For First Time Server Project?

Feb 22, 2011

My distribution of choice on my desktop is Arch Linux (I like getting all the new stuff before anyone else) but I am going to be making a home server, and I can't imagine Arch Linux working well for that because I want something stable and reliable. I always admired Debian for not only APT but it's reliability. I thought about using Ubuntu server but I don't like the direction Ubuntu is going, and I like Debian better anyway, so I am firmly set on using Debian for this server.

This server will be more advanced than necessary for a home user. The reason is because it's a learning experience. I want to learn all about DHCP, DNS, and all those other things. I'm already very knowledgeable on SSH and Unison, which will be the primary focus (backing up). So I was hoping I would list the things I decided to do and get some opinions/best practices from you guys.First, I decided on a Dell Inspiron 570. It's dirt cheap (around $280) and it has a gigabit network card. (I'm pretty sure). I need to stay as cheap as possible because money is a HUGE factor for me. I have a budget of under $700 to do all this. (So I may need to get smaller hard drives). Whatever default hard drive it comes with I will add two more hard drives in a RAID1 for /home. Like this:

Disk 1: Root, swap and boot partitions (smaller hard drive)
Disk 2 & 3: Dedicated to /home, on a RAID1 (two 2TB hard drives)

The idea is that once the server is all the way done, I will image Disk 1 with Clonezilla, and if it fails, just restore it. I personally don't feel that having RAID1 for the root partition is necessary when Clonezilla takes 20 minutes to restore a drive, or less. The OS and all configurations in /etc would automatically be backed up in that image.Since I'm using the server primarily for backups (there won't even be a monitor on it when done) /home will be on a RAID1 since that's the most important thing. (I have backups on external hard drives too, one is off-site, so still no worries). Also, the server will handle DNS for the hostnames on my four other computers, and I'm thinking of replacing my router and having my server do that too. Nothing wrong with my router, but it would be fun for me to set this up.

Ubuntu :: Get Rid Of Yellow Tool Tips?

Aug 28, 2010

How do I get rid of Yellow Tool Tips? I already tried: gconf-editor and apps > panel > global and uncheck tooltips_enabled; then rebooted. The yellow tips are still there. I find them of little help and a bit annoying. Update: Actually I just noticed that the color depends on the theme being used, therefore it is not always yellow!

I got some binaries from internet (amule), but am afraid of using them, exposing my system. Since some run long simulations, it is not desirable to run in slow VM.

What do you gurus say if I run it as a new user? So the binaries would just be able to read and execute my binutils... Is that harmfull?

Programming :: Following Drag Action And Drop - Some Tips?

Jun 4, 2011

I've got a non-urgent but itchy thing here - I'm implementing a drag-and-drop. All rolls well, but I'd like to have the component be "followed" - if there is a drag on the component, the form should be visible. I'd like to make a puzzle where the player can see the perimeter of the piece to see if it fits where (s)he'd want to drop it. Before I delve into the tons of code, I'd like to know if that (the following) can be done.

General :: Windows - Tips: Building A Workstation Around Xen And GPU Pass-through?

May 17, 2011

I'm building my new home machine right now and as usual this will be a heavily overloaded workstation that will serve as development and testing machine, file server and game console (plus I'm adding TV cards and multimedia streaming for my home network). Since these use cases work against each other (file server is unavailable when the machine is used as game console), I'm heavily considering the use of Xen to provide everything at once. Performance shouldn't be an issue in general, but the game console use case definitely requires direct access to a GPU.

Server :: LDAP Resources / Tips / Tricks For Small Vhost Setup

Apr 14, 2010

I have looked around a while for the answer, but nothing really fits. Here is the scenario. I have one server and a few openvz VE's running. I want to be able to auth whatever possible with LDAP. I have an LDAP server setup on the host and auth works for the server users. The tricky part for me is that every VE has their own domain. and if I can do that, they will also have the same login for their VE on said domain. I can setup users and the required software on the hosts and guest, but I guess I am confused at how to manage the multiple domain part of things.

not sure if proftp can do 'name based' stuff like apache, but if it can, we can point ftp.clientdomain.foo to the main server and handle it that way.

Debian :: Camera Disable In Pidgin 2.8?

Jun 16, 2011

I bought a Toshiba notebook and I debian install the latest came out, along with programs up there, so good. Install the latest pidgin 2.8 and compile it, that was fine. When I wanted to test the webcam in pidgin, I do not work. Abri a chat window with a user and I get a option name "MEDIA" and displayed the "do called "sending camera" "Start Video Call" but the problem is that they are as dull, does not allow me selected. Surely it is why they are off, but I honestly do not know how to activate or turn them on.

Debian :: Disable For A User The Access To Usb Pen?

May 15, 2010

I want to refuse access for some users to usb pen and audio. In previous releases (debian, ubuntu , debian-based ..) , it is enough to remove the user from the group.

that is in /etc/group
audio:x:29:bela
plugdev:x:46:bela,geol

with theses lines : bela can heard sound, but not geol, for bela and geol the usb pen is automatically mounted. But not for nobody else. It is NOT the case in the new release, I mean, even if I remove a user from the plugdev group, the usb pen is automatically mounted for that user.

Debian :: Touchpad Enable / Disable Key Not Working

Nov 27, 2010

Since last Saturday (11-20) my touchpad enable/disable key stopped working.I don't make much use of the touchpad and it usually stays disabled most of the time so I can't be sure it is really on Saturday that I lost this functionality or maybe the day before (I'm positive it's not longer than that).Before that it worked flawlessly, now it's like a dead key (which is not broken by the way, tested on a live CD).In these past week I have been looking for quite some time for other users who might have experienced this problem after the update of two specific packages (console-data and keyboard-configuration) I had on the 20th and which made me think might have broken the key binding.Not finding anything at all and after having tried for said packages both newer versions from sid and previous known-to-have-worked-before versions from the install CD, I started thinking the problem was not there (I consequently restored the testing ones).

The days before this happened I tinkered a little bit with gpointing-device-settings and tpconfig (this last one was a simple tpconfig -i), but at this point I start thinking there might have been something else I've done, somewhere else I can't recall probably.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the touchpad still works flawlessly, I can enable/disable it through gconf (actually I made two handy shortcut to the "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled" value), so it is not an issue of making it work, just the toggle key which on my laptop is a dedicated one (no Fn modifier) and anyway all the other special keys still work fine.I checked gnome-keybinding-properties and there is no action for the touchpad there, but I don't know for sure if there was one before (and I haven't been able to add one). Anyway in gconf I noticed a key in "/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad" has the value "XF86TouchpadToggle", not sure if that means the keybinding exists or what.

What more can I add? What I'm here to ask now is some guidance on figuring out what I might have done wrong considering what I was able to tell you, but mostly, considering what I wasn't able to tell you and am not even aware to have done.

Debian :: 7.8 Wheezy - How To Disable Hardware (Mic And Camera)

May 26, 2015

System: Debian 7.8 Wheezy

I'm curious about how could I disable hardware manually. I'm interested in how to disable integrated microphone and camera, since I don't use any of these features. How could I re-enable, in case I needed to use these devices?

I tried running modprobe -b uvcvideo to disable and then modprobe uvcvideo to enable - but I don't know if it would be enough, because, when I restarted, in syslog I could like USB Camera being detected (and possibly loaded) again.

Here, some useful information (I think):

/var/log/syslog
