I would like to disable auto loading of network manager/wpa supplicant in my FC13 system. I am not interested in just stopping the service (/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop) from user lever. Is there any kernel configuration which can serve the purpose. If there is a way to stop notifying user level about new network interface, please let me know.
I just started using linux (newb) on a dual boot with windows VISTA. I need to disable data prevention execution whenever I do boot Vista through GRUB but I don't know what command to use nor exactly where to put the command.On a single boot windows machine, all you would do is type the following at the command prompt and reboot: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOffAlso, GRUB lists my VISTA boot option simply as "other." Is there a way to change that?
Currently I have two 1920x1080 screens running in Twinview on my Geforce 275 graphics card. Want I want to do is a quick simple way of disabling my secondary monitor when playing video games or using xbmc to watch movies, etc. I've tried a few applets but they require the xandr function which I think Nvidia doesn't support.
Is there a way to disable this quickly other than loading up nvidia-settings and disabling the monitor everytime. I don't really want to use two seperate x sessions and xinerama due to the fact you can't use compositing.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?

I have disks of Lucid Puppy 5.11 and MacPup 5.11. Both disks run very well on my laptop, an old 2001 model Sony Vaio which is already booting Ubuntu 10.04 UNE.
But neither finishes loading on my HP Pavilion a1020n desktop, which is running Windoze XP Home. They both bog down on looking for optical drives... interesting as I am loading them from CD and it reads the optical drives fine up to that point.
It's sad that a quick-loading portable Linux won't load at all on my newer, faster machine.
Maybe it's because the laptop has GRUB already? My HP chokes every time I try to modify the boot sector, lots of "wonderful" security features to keep Windoze from "getting corrupted".
I have installed Fedora in my hard disk,but the GUI is not working.I can still work using my command line,but my mouse is not working.Is there any way out without re-installation?

If not what can cause this disconnection?What I need a simple web site when 50 ppl can upload short movies and then watch them. It needs to run localy (no .....)
I have a netbook with a XP/SuSE dualboot and I want to get rid of SuSE, I have EASEUS partition and I know thats probably the easiest way to get rid of it, but the problem is the loading screen, seeing as im on a netbook, the xp disk is out of the question and I lack a usb cd drive, how would I go about removing grub?
I am developing an extension for firefox that enables users to chat with any others who happen to be browsing the same website at the same time. The xul file adds a tool bar with a button "Enable Chat" in the browser toolbox. when a user clicks the Enable chat button, the server initiates the chat. I went through many tutorials for extension development. They have helped. But I cant seem to get my extension up properly. Ill just put up the contents of my files for extension..
/home/neethusha/extensions/blaze (blaze is the name of the extension) chrome/content/blaze.xul install.rdf chrome.manifest
[Code]....
I made the pointer to the extension in a file named "blazebutton @anywhere.com" and saved it in the firefox profile folder "/home/neethusha/.mozilla/firefox/d5ma3rr9.dev/extensions"
When i open the firefox in this profile, the extension is not loading...
I am running Xubuntu 9.04, with LXDE on an old Acer 526iTX. After fiddling around trying to connect it to a Vista machine using a crossover cable, I must have broken the internet (well not the whole internet obviously, just my connection). nm-applet will show the connection as working, but no loading takes place (eg. firefox shows 'connecting to google.com.au..' but nothing happens). Same behaviour whether browsing, pinging or updating by CLI, and over any type of connection (mobile broadband, wifi or ethernet cable). This has persisted over many days, through restarts and deleting and re-creating the connection in nm-applet. I can also rule out a hardware problem as the connections work fine using a live CD.It's no big deal if I have to reinstall (I probably will anyway), but I was wandering if anyone would know the probable cause of this behaviour.
I have redmine 1.01 on Suse 10, some days back it was running fine. but now it's taking too much refresh to load a page properly. How will I go back to normal page loading ?
During booting of lupu 5.20 ,It starts searching for puppy files in computer disk drives,says boot partitions not found, dropping out to initial ram disk console then /bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off # it remains at this position for ever. I have been using lucid puppy 5.11 with pen drive through multibooting software of pendrivelinux. I have P2 with 256MB ram, hdd 10GB,usb pendrive 1 GB.
I'm trying to run 9.10 from my flash drive, but it won't load properly. I end up with repeating messages of "end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0", and "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" for a bit, then it goes away, and then repeats "This is normally a bug some applications using the D-Bus library. process normally arguments to dbus_pending_call_set_notify() were incorrect, assertion "pending != NULL" failed in file dbus-pending call .c line 596." really fast, and keeps on repeating until I manually shut my laptop off.

1. What is it called when you move a PDF window while it is loading and the window manager does not keep up with the image, (it gets all blurry when the window is moved?)Why does this happen?
2. Why is it that when a browser window is clicked to load a new address it won't always go to it. It has to be clicked again.
3 Why is it that sometimes IE is the only browser that will work on XP. FireFox and Opera will not load a page but IE will.
4 Why is it that Firefox on Linux sometimes everything inside the window is slow to appear. It has to be closed to fix it. When the contents does appear it is all at once.
5.Why is printing different things on Linux a problem. I have a lot of inconsistency with trying to print things from Evince. Some docs print and some won't. Copying and pasting is also a problem for Evince.Why?
6. Is there a way to have Linux Shut down after computer activity has stopped and not just with a timer. Lets say I'm trying to download something and I want it to turn off after it has finished with the down load.
7. Why are some Web pages biased towards Windows. I notice that some java scripts will only run right on Windows machines with IE. A lot of on-line forms are like this.
8. Can (MOVIES, PICTURES AND MUSIC) torrents be downloaded on Linux without risk?
9. It seams that Linux browsers do not keep previous web pages in memory so if you want to go back Linux always has to reload them from the server. Why is this?
10. Why is it that browsers sometimes won't indicate that the page has finished loading, "ever".
11. Why does Linux turn on the number-lock when loading its self?
12. Why can't the brightness be adjusted in Totem? There is a menu to change it but it does not work.
I'm triple booting (windows, ubuntu and osx86) at the moment but in order to load OSX86, I need to pass "cpus=1" to the kernel otherwise it won't load and the PC just reboots. Can I pass this argument from grub or do I have to install osx to a separate hdd and get grub to load the Darwin bootloader on the second hdd and then pass the argument?
