Kernel 2.6.21.5, slackware 12.0
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4
Seamonkey 1.1.2
Under any of Firefox or Seamonkey web browsers, if I type the URL about:plugins, a list of the installed (I assume they mean "installed in my machine") plugins appears. How do you do if you want to edit that list. Say, to disable a mime type or just delete it from the list?
Recently installed Ubuntu 10.04. Is there a definitive list somewhere of all the repositories and codecs I need to install to bring this distro up to speed with WinXP or Win7?

I just installed nagios to a Cent 5.4 box. Everything is working so far except I want to add a plugin I found on nagios exchange. The file has a .pl extension. I am unsure how to add the plugin to the rest of nagios. Do I need to add it to a nagios folder and then define it. If I just try to run the pl file I get a error mesg. I am unsure if the error is caused by system misconfig or because the plugin is not installed. The plugin is check_dayime.pl and the error I get is Can't locate Date/Parse.pm Perl seems to be working as I can run simple perl scripts and perl -v spits out v 5.8.8
I've used ubuntu n have quite good experience in installing softwares and codecs for Totem n amarock. Its very easy on ubuntu cuz system searches online and finds plugins itself.
Now im using CentOS n i updated the system but still i dont see many softwares on repositories unlike in ubuntu moreover i dont know how to install totem codecs and others. I can't even get terminal commands for getting codecs online.
I have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the
Code: i915.modeset=1 and added it to /etc/default/grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, just after "quite splash", just
Just installed my first version of Ubuntu via the internet. All attempts to install applications (devise manager)/plugins (Banshee)have failed and I'm a little dispondent as I haven't much idea what's going on yet.
I am using opensuse 11.2. The totem video player states that I am missing a gstreamer plugin. I checked to see that gst-ffmpeg plugins is loaded, also libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdplay, and libdvdread are also loaded. I would like if someone could please tell me what gstream plugin I'm missing, and where to place it.
i was told by some members to use svn to view nagios plugins source code. i'm currently use nagios checker, i want to view the source code behind it, i want to see how the codes behind the nagios checker work.

i've installed subversion using sudo apt-get install subversion, after that followed by this command: svn co [URL] subversion but when i issued the second command i got this:
Code:
... Setting up subversion (1.6.5dfsg-1ubuntu1) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
I have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.
I installed java applet for Firefox. It seems that I get the same message all the time "Install missing plugins". The path libjavaplugin_oji.so is located at:
think of this directory as the current structure..
Quote: |-- test | `-- test1 `-- test.tar
test.tar is a compressed tar of /test/ (cvfz), now... I need to add another file called test2 to test.tar, WITHIN the test directory in the tar. Is this possible?
I have a list of millions of filename in form of say "drau3DDFEA5E01205841DC1B277A". I need it convert it intousr/local/data/d/dr/dra/drau/drau3DDFEA5E01205841DC1B277AI believe that can be achieved by awk or sed.
I have a AsteriskNow Linux box and i wanted to add another network card, i have done this and it has loaded the drivers... I have found out that second cards need to be enabled... if i type ifcfg eth1 it shows me the card.... and I need to edit that device with BOOTON selected to ON to enable it.
I have two questions:
A) what is the comand to edit the ifcfg eth-1 card, Apparently i use a text editor but how ? i know what to do once in but can't get in...
B) is there a list of very common linux commands i cuold use to start me off on my linux journey ?
Recently I bought a Toshiba NB100 from a family friend. All was going well until I installed some updates and now when I try to unmute my speakers I get this error message pop up.....
"No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
KMail 1.11.4, KDE 4.2.4: I'm migrating from WinXP to Mandriva, and installed KMail at the weekend. Works fine, but I have a niggle - the message list displays headers grouped by month order. I'd like the option of having a simple list (no groups), and suspect that it could be done - but I haven't been able to find out how. I've checked in the Handbook without success, and a search in LQ hasn't turned up anything yet.Any suggestions gratefully received. If this isn't the right place for a KMail query,
I am doing a Linux installation. I installed the system fine and am trying to change the vi /etc/hosts file. I have edited the file but am not sure how to save it. I have --INSERT-- showing at the bottom.
Here's what is going on; I'll open any file in vim to edit, and then when I'm finished and I enter ":wq", instead of saving the file I was editing, vim creates another by the same name with a tilde.
I have samsung laptop and there is a nasty program called samsung recovery solution that changes the active partition to Windows each time you enter it. The trouble is: I have 2 OSes, Opensuse and Windows 7, and Grub that is installed in my Extended partition, so each time I enter this recovery program active flag is changed and Windows is loaded instead of grub. I have noticed some boot files in that program's folder, so the question is how can I edit them in most convenient manner? I have kde 4.5.3 is there some sort of included program that would help?
I am just entering the Linux world. All these years I wanted to test Linux but did not have the resources to make a new computer. Then I found Puppy Linux by chance. Nearly all the work I do with Windows 7/XP can be done with Puppy Linux. I am running it from a CD. I developed a smartfont for an Indic language called Sinhala, which uses ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1, SBCS) character set.It makes typing Sinhala, one of the more complex of Indic scripts, easy.
Essentially, this is a transliteration of the 'complex' script into Latin character set and then showing it back in the native script by way of the smartfont. See it here: [URL] Of course, you have no clue what it says. If you copy the text and look, you'll understand what is going on. You can type it with the dead-key keyboard. Only problem is that in certain situations, the font makes conjoint letters where you don't want them. You can prevent it by inserting the ZWNJ, Zero-width non-joiner (u200C), but the keyboard does not have it. Is there a way to edit the keyboard layout and make a modified key layout?
I have a removable SATA Mobilerack which i use to play with.It has redhat linux loaded on a 500GB disk and i made a new partition using fdisk and then made an ext3 filesystem with mkfs. I then tried to edit fstab to add the new partition but have obviously stuffed it up. When I tried to reboot I get the error fsck ext3: UNABLE TO RESOLVE `LABEL=/mnt'.
i'm trying to add a watermark and a credits image to all of my old videos. i downloaded them off videos so they are all flv (h.264?). is there some software that will allow me do simple edits in batches? i know a little bit of python and tried looking at some of the library but they all seem like overkill (and way above my head). so is there a solution besides getting some software and going through all my videos and doing it manually?
they are all mostly the same length, but it would be nice to specify a relative position for my credits. e.g. show a static image for 10 seconds when the video is at 95%
Let's say I have file A, and using 'ln -s A B', I have B. When I open, edit and save B, now B is not symlink anymore. It's just a new copy of A. Is this expected behavior? I use Mac OS X, and I wonder it's common in UNIX. In this case, is there any way to keep B as a (soft link) to A? Or, make B as the hard link would be the only way to solve this issue? What's the advantage of using soft link than hard link? The editor that I use is 'TextMate' on Mac.
I use cygwin on Windows7 to open a ssh session to my linux box. When I edit a file with vim, I don't have color, only kind of gray bold. I have colors when I do a ls into my ssh session. I have also colors when I edit files from a ssh session from my linux box to my linux box. I modified the shortcut on Window7 to run cygwin in 256 colors, no effect. Do I need to set an environment variable on my cygwin session ? On Cygwin and On Fedora when "sshed" from Gygwin : TERM=cygwin
