At the place I am working ( Yun Yang Temple ) we are running a Fedora Core 4 server with a load of Windows XP client machines. There is an issue at the samba level in which no groups can be seen by typical NT based administration software (the NT 4.0 "USRMGR.EXE" running through some form of elven m...

I am currently at work but I will check all of that when I get home later..

I have recently decided to move a laptop of mine to Gentoo Linux. The laptop has no ability to boot from USB and the DVD drive was completely FUBAR'd. So I borrowed an adaptor from one of my brothers workmates to interface the laptop's harddrive with my PC so I could install Gentoo with the 2006.1 l...

It appears to be working fine with alsa all the sudden and no permission issues.

Hey there,

I have been using debian 3.1-r2 with gnome for a while now on my laptop, and I can't seem to get sound to work with alsa. I need to be able to change the volume control gnome uses and set the device permissions automatically, etc, any ideas?

Note: If anyone can get me hosting for a simple blog for a group of friends (basically a 99% text based drupal site) I would be really happy. It would be handy if I could point my domain kintarolabs.org and subdomains to it as well. Anyone who can help me with any hosting should contact my email wi...

Mmmmm Pink Floyd. My website is dead and I am in desperate need of hosting so I had nowhere else to write about my whereabouts online. I am living in Ballarat which is a rural city, about an hour and a half from Melbourne. I am practically homeless at the moment. I wonder from friend to friends hous...

I was interested in some kind of script to sync between a USB memory stick and a directory called "Sync" in my homedir. The idea of this is that I create a bunch of symlinks to thinks, and click and launcher on the desktop and run the script, and things go smoothly. Then I eject my device, and walk ...

nevermind thats stupid

I want to shrink the volume group, so I have space for another physical primary partition, i cant work that out.

Odd when I try to do the "vgreduce VolGroup00 /dev/hda2" bit it just says "Physical volume "/dev/hda2" still in use".

Other than that the resize is fine, it boots etc and yeah.

Hey, I want to shrink my install and the volume from the commandline on the rescue, only I have two problems 1) I dont know the command to shrink the lvm volume, I thought it would be lvshrink, but lvshrink doesnt seem to be on the disk, just 'lvm'. 2) My volume doesnt show up under /dev/mapper whic...

Yeah, quite a lot really. Don't mind slackware either, or debian, but FC5 seems to work quite well.

Ubuntu sucks, don't touch it with a 100 foot pole ever, I have used it. It is the biggest piece of crap on the earth. I wish there was a new version of the GPL that Torvalds could use to give him the power to abolish the distribution of the system, I hate it that much I'd like to make a Benevolent D...

Hello there, I have got my wireless card (acx111 chipset based) working on FC5 however it runs at a frustratingly slow rate (gets about 500kbpsish) and gets a pretty lousy signal strengh, having used the card on Windows with an offical driver I got a lot better signal strength, I cannot afford anoth...
