I was wondering if there's an easy way to upgrade VIM 6.3 to 7.2? I have CentOS 4.7 and wanted to upgrade my current vim to 7.2 to support other functions that we do. Unfortunately I am running into some conflicts/ dependency errors (i.e. glibc etc) and I am not so sure on how to resolve.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirefox Stable PPA provides the latest Firefox stable builds for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. This repository that provides the latest Firefox 4.0 stable.
Add the PPA using these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
Then if you have Firefox installed, you will get an update for the latest Firefox 4, the package name isn't named "firefox-4.0" like it is now in the Mozilla Daily PPA but simply "firefox", so it is simply a case of updating. I have done this and it works perfectly.

I want to edit an .ini file for Qmc2.I find qmc2.ini with the browse folder option.I open it with Gedit and make my changes (rom path)but then I cannot save the file. Obviously I can use terminal, something like "su - Gedit /etc/qmc2/qmc2.ini"but what if I don't want to? Can I just use the GUI with su privilages?

I get all sort of errors concerning pkg-congfig, libnih, and dbus. I am working on a node.ja application and this is a pain to start and stop all the time, so I want to create a deamon for this which makes it easy to start and stop.

I wanna get into the world of stereoscopic 3D and I was wondering are there any easy and straightforward solutions. Do I need specific hardware to view the results of my work? I heard that there are screens with which you don't need goggles but that there are problems with that too..
I might start doing something like 3 dimensional charts for example that I could actually see in 3D. I would definitely stay away from modeling characters like in 3D shooters.
I currently have a VPS(virtual private server) that runs Slackware 12. The image was made way back in 2007, and obviously it hasn't been updated.The version is VERY minimal, it doesn't even have all the packages from A, but I can get any I want and install as I wish.Is there an easy way to update 12 to 12.2? Going to 13 is probably out of the question without a clean install over a network and doing it remotely, which is probably beyond my capabilities.I can't mess with the kernel unfortunately, but I can install practically any packages.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've seen a lot of questions on the forum about static IP's and how often people have problems configuring them. Here is how it works:
If you have a router in your network, the router is the boss. You can configure anything you want in your computer's network manager, but in the end, the router will win. Say you have 3 computers and configure each one for a static IP. If the router is still set to assign IP's dynamically, it may want to ignore that unless you boot the computers in order of IP#. In other words if you set your IP's to .001. .002, and .003 you have to boot the one with .001 first to be sure it gets that IP.
If you boot .002 first the router wants to assign it the first IP in the list; .001. If the computer will only accept .002 the router may (or may not depending on the router) eventually assign it .002, or you end up with a power struggle between the computer and the router, and have no connection to that computer.
That said sometimes setting IP's on each computer works, at least most of the time, again depending on the router. Some routers will assign the same IP to the same computer when each has individual settings, but even then you still have to deal with settings on each computer; a lot of work. And at some point you will probably still have a glitch or problem, at least temporarily. In my experience setting static IP's on the computers is hit or miss in the long run.
If you set the static IP's in the router and make sure the router recognizes each computer by it's MAC address it's a done deal. You can boot the computers in any order, they will always be assigned the same IP, and you don't have to do anything on any of your your computers or in your network managers to make it happen. Bada bing, bada boom, done. Less work, more stable network, fewer headaches.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using NBE on 10.04RC, I've just seen Easy Peasy 1.6 on Distro Watch so ran the live CD out of curiosity. Apart from Gimp I cannot see any difference between Ubuntu 10.04 NBE and Easy Peasy, have I missed something? Menu etc looks the same.. don't look at menu on their website as that's the one based on 9.04 [URL]
This is part of the release note:"Features: new boot system and new boot artwork (uses Plymouth); sports full removal of the HAL package, making EasyPeasy faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend; brand-new interface; built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel; the likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4; new default open-source driver for NVIDIA hardware; improved support for NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers".
I've never quite understood why they won't like Firefox just update on it's own. Instead it appears all of the FF updates always have to come through the update manager. 3.6.4 has been out since Tuesday and while I can go to the FF website and grab the tar of the new version I'd rather you know just upgrade my existing version like I've already easily done in Windows.
Seriously if this was a security flaw update and we had to wait this long you'd think people would be up in arms. Luckly 3.6.4 is mainly just extra functionality.
Still am I just left at the mercy of whenever it appears in the update stream or is there an easy way to update what I already have installed verses having two versions of FF?

There is an mp3 music stream I listen to, and I'd like to record some of it to a file. The stream plays just fine with VLC, but when I try to use the VLC menu dialogs to stream it into a file, it never works: VLC just plays the stream, instead of creating a file, and no helpful info is dumped to the terminal. I'm not in the mood to spend two or three hours figuring out the correct VLC command-line switches (I've done /plenty/ of that in the past) and so I was hoping there was some program that could do the same thing with two or three mouse clicks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt appears the liblphp.so and liblpssl.so files that have been added to /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ and the php.ini are 32 bit libraries. This is preventing them from loading as PHP and it's other modules are all built as 64 bit libraries. To resolve this error, I would recommend re-building the libraries as 64bit. Most likely this can be done using Easyapache to re-build PHP (and Apache) to support these modules. Additionally, libcrypto and libssl are on the server in /usr/lib/ folder. However, they are 64bit libraries which may not work on the 32bit .so files you have provided.
