What did you google for then?
I googled my @ss off and didn't come up with anything remotely useful besides a kvm that's still under heavy development ....

THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Show device icons was unticked! Sweet Jezus, and I spent the last two days installing/removing stuff like ivman, pmount, usbmount, hotplug, discover, hal, dbus and many others I can't even remember anymore .... :twisted: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Void Main!...

I just checked on both other machines and there's no trace of gnome-voume-manager whatsoever. We all use KDE and there probably is something similar (maybe even kde-volume-manger), found some references to a package kvm but it's nowhere to be found either ... :? Edit: Also, on my desktop is a "Syste...

hal is installed and the daemon is running but no icon appears when plugging in a usb device. is there perhaps a flag I need to activate in a config file? I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with gnome stuff because we don't even have gnome installed, only the libraries needed to run gimp, grip and...

Got it working to the point where udev automagically creates an fstab entry and offers to mount my drive in a konqueror window. Only there's no option to unmount the usb drives once I'm finished so I still have to look up the device number and unmount it as root. Now on all the "other" boxen :) ther...

I recently performed a fresh install on my kid's new pc and went for Debian testing. One thing I noticed is that when he inserts something like a usb pen he's immediately offered the choice of dynamically mouting the device (or do nothing). This tell sme that udev is probably working right on his bo...

MoR, have you ever used gtkpod?
And if yes, what does Amarok do better?

I usually don't like Dvorak too much, but this article is disturbing at best!
I sure hope he's wrong this time (like he has been many times before, but still ...)

You should have a Screen Resize and Rotate entry under KMenu/System, the program itself is called krandrtray and can be run from a console window. And here is a link to my xorg.conf. Notice that under Section ...

Calum wrote: I do find the thing of having a new version every few months to be a bit of an irritation in terms of reinstalling the system, especially when fedora hasn't really been an O/S that needs a lot of reinstalling in my experience. You could always just update your sources.list to point to ...

Void Main wrote: I went to the web site and initially it looked interesting but then I realized they are all Windows compiled apps. Am I missing something? I'm not going to run them under Wine. I guess any Linux system already likely has all this stuff installed. I guess that's why I just install L...

Unfortunately, U3 is a vendor supported technology, and we're probably going to see more of it in the future.

Don't know about that, have you seen this?
Works in a kind of similar way but with open source apps.

Some stats to compare package versions in both ubuntu and Debian and correct some misconceptions about version numbers. I do not agree entirely with the author's view though when he says Yes, Scott, I am comparing stable releases on one side, with development versions on the other side. However, I t...

And then you have PCLinuxOS that is a spin off of Mandrake ...

Parallels to ubuntu?
Mepis, Xandros, Linspire/Freespire, Progeny, and I'm sure there are lots more!

Void Main wrote: since Ubuntu is Debian with some pretty lipstick exactly! And that's one of the things that bug me when it comes to Ubuntu. Most of the people using it and promoting it don't realize that the very base of their beloved ubuntu is made by all the debian devs around the world. Nothing...
