thanks that works nice. I also have a toshiba satelite, the L25 -s1192. I have not yet put linux on it, but will soon. Did you have any luck with getting your wifi to work? My Satellite is a relatively low budget model without built-in wifi...had bought a netgear WG511 PCMCIA card the same time I bought the notebook without the thought of linux compatability, imagine my surprise when it was auto-detected and configured during ubuntu install...think I might've soiled myself doing the happy dance.

Just to add, hovering the link and pressing both buttons at the same time, does what you want...at least on my toshiba satellite.

Blue file names indicate they are compressed.....no idea why it would just be your music, should be all files on a certain drive...recently compress a drive?

Just wanted to take a couple spare minutes to wish everyone a belated happy holidays, birthdays, get wells, etc etc etc... I've been a bit busy for a while and have pretty much cut down my forum time to an occasional read of a post here and there...But I did go back over what I've missed over the past few weeks and see that I missed quite a bit. I haven't even updated the baby blog lately so for anyone interested, Jacob is doing great...He's rolling over like a maniac, standing up and supporting his weight with a little assist for balance...Reflexes, sight and hearing are perfect...We have a n

heh, a new spin on the yearly snow shoveler email that goes around... I like this one better

OMG, that was almost painful to watch...lol Surprised he didn't just run off the set

hmmm, my day (actually night -> third shifter)... alarm goes off @ 8:45pm...hit the snooze about 5 times (=45 minutes) light a smoke and try to head to the bathroom shower/grooming/getting dressed = 15 minutes (ok, maybe longer but I can be a little late for work) take inventory of pockets to make sure I have everything, light another smoke. jump in the car, no time for warming it up...haul ass to 7/11 to get my 24oz. coffee walk into work (about 10:00pm) looking like a sociopath so people keep their distance until I've finish the aforementioned coffee, light another smoke... yell at my sub

The system recovery starts over with a clean hard drive, as near as I can tell. IOW, after the system recovery, the only software and data on the hard drive will be what the machine came with out of the box. This is not the same as the Windows restore point. The recovery CDs contain a copy of the original hard drive image (sort of) and they restore the hard drive to that condition. I've had to do this once, I think...IIRC, it was an identical situation to yours (including it being an HP)...most HDD manufacturers have drive cloning tools either shipped with the new drive or available for dow

Nice work rv.... glad to see some creativity along with using terragen...I'm not a big fan of the program but you're definitely improving by adding things to the image. only one suggestion... when making starfields...I'd try to vary the brightness of the stars, easily done with multiple black layers of different opacities and an eraser...would look alot more "real". keep up the good work.

Thanks folks! If it weren't for people reminding me, I might've forgotten my B-Day this year...Been pretty busy lately with the baby and haven't posted too much...come to think of it, this is my first post since the return of BT. And still the coolest old man that little b@$7@rd knows!!! 37?...bull$#!7, I can still pass for mid to late 20's!!!...any of you youngsters got a hot mom?

yep, right after 10.1 10.2 = "Mandriva Linux Limited Edition 2005" And to SDogg554, Have you been to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ to set up extra sources...If I'm not mistaken, when I ran Mandrake, cedega was listed in rpmdrake...could've been because of adding those sources. naraku9333's info will get what you want done but the extra sources are good to have.

FYI, there is no grub.conf in ubuntu..the correct file to edit would be menu.lst, otherwise the instructions are correct

Did a clean install of breezy on my notebook yesterday...I did have a couple of glitches but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Hadn't noticed any improvement in install speed as hitest says but there's a very noticable improvement in boot time. I have no idea why I did this since things were the way I wanted them and now I have to set it all up again. On the bright side, the repos aren't getting hamered as much and I'm getting decent speeds reinstalling all my apps.

I'm assuming you got the fix from kelly's korner. I remembered this fix from the old TTV boards, you found it before I had the chance to post it. Just for those that may have it happen again. Kelly's Korner (#15 on the left)

you can do it a couple ways , I think...here's one way r-click folder (any)>properties-general tab>click the little wrench next to "type:folder">click on the folder icon>select "other icons">browse to your icon>open>ok that should change all folder icons. the other way is in kcontrol>kde components>file associations... you can change pretty much all icons and file associations there but I think the first way is easiest. hope it helps. Might as well throw up a screenshot too while I'm here. Still Ubuntu 5.04 (soon to be 5.10) running KDE 3.4

Dare I say it?...sure! Linux could breathe new life into that machine. If you have no specific use for the PC and it's just gonna be a spare toy, there's some good learning to be done by installing a linux distro...most PCs capable of running win2000 are usually more than capable of running most distros. Would be a whole lot easier than trying to clean up the mess.

quoting Liz: Hey Liz...I see your newbie label is getting old elsewhere on the boards so I think this might just be you "playing dumb" but just in case you're not playing. PING (wikipedia.org) I don't think I've ever had a use for ping outside of LAN troubleshooting but it does come in handy to know about it.

If I'm reading your post and JDoors' reply right, you're wanting to split video files or save segments as separate files. Without knowing the file type and compression (mpg, avi, mov/ divx, xvid, etc etc), I can't say it will work but I'd try Virtualdub (freeware)

Not to sound like I'm bashing Debian but aren't they a bit behind? Or are these repackaged 1.0.7 versions and given a deb name? I know they're known for only releasing the most stable apps and have an outrageously long release cycle (imo) but I remember a few upgrades to firefox being significant security flaw upgrades and one would think that might qualify it to go right to the repo.

Nice first post...great screenshot. Welcome to besttechie
