Thanks, Bill, but Verizon's server only wants to work with POP3.

IMAP and folders was my first thought, but since this is out I need to
find another solution.

Beef.

Problems changing preferences in Ubuntu

And if that doesn't work, check the file /etc/sudoers, to make sure your
user name is in there. If not, add it. (I bumped into this one too. It
seems like a glitch in Ubuntu.)

The line you want looks like this:

yourusername ALL=(ALL) ALL

You can make this change whilst still locked out, because you can "su -"
from a terminal and use vi to edit the file.

I don't know what is up here with Ubuntu. It worked fine in an
installation I did on my own machine, but another installation on a
laptop that I was asked to look at did exactly what you are describing.

Fedora 4 & WinXP multi boot on two separate SATA drives

Posted: 05 Nov 2005 02:27 PM PST

An MBR is as you said an MBR, but an MBR of disk one (Windows) is not the
same as an MBR of disk two (the to-be-linux) disk. In fact I have been
looking franticly for answers and as it appears somebody attempted that
before (put the MBR bootlinux.lnx file of the 2nd drive into the booting
first drive) and it did not work at all.

Besides, he who does not learn from the past, is bound to commit the same
mistakes again ;-)

Install GRUB on USB stick

ooops, yes when reading it again I see what you mean. I wonder why it
looked like that (maybe because I wrote it 2 am...)

However that's not the case. Also I dislike your comments about my
relationship with my employer, something that you don't know anything
about.
I have written questions on usenet a couple of times before and never
been met like this.

Now, if anyone could be so kind and help me with my question.

How to keep /home on two laptops in sync?

Posted: 05 Nov 2005 06:02 AM PST

In comp.os.linux.setup frwarner <com>:
 
 

Rubbish, while unison's protocol is inspired by rsync, it uses
its own, which is bidirectional, faster then rsync and using far
fewer resources on both systems. Dunno where you get this from?

Ever tested this out? Try syncing hundreds of GB with rsync and
compare with unison, preferable over GB lan, then come back and
tell me which one is faster! ;-)

Unable to handle kernel paging request

Thanks for replying. I may not have made it clear, but I am using 2.6.12
and I normally use 2.6.12-9-amd64-k8-smp. However, because I was getting a
lot of unexplained freezes, I tried other configurations. I found that
things seemed to be stable with a non-smp kernel. I was trying the 32bit
smp when I got the reported oops (there never seem to be any oops messages
when I'm running 64bit). I had to use the k7 kernel as unsurprisingly
there didn't seem to be a 32bit k8 kernels.

I'm still getting problems using 2.6.12. I suspect it happens when updatedb
runs, but I'm not clear whether it's an updatedb issue, a kernel issue, or
a hardware issue (like faulty memory).

KDE default preferences for all users

Posted: 05 Nov 2005 01:59 AM PST

In comp.os.linux.setup Peter T. Breuer <it.uc3m.es>: 

[ KDE settings all users ]
 
 

Exactly this is the most easiest way, simply create one user and
change settings to your needs, now copy things you want to
/etc/skel.
[..]
 

Delete all screensaver but the blank one and make this active,
deleting has to be redone on updating the package containing the
files. But seems the only way really working.

[..]
 
 

No rocket science involved to start with:

ls -lrt ~/.kde/share/config/

How to change /home's file system

Assuming you have space on a destination partition, it is quite easily
done with tar. I don't know of any "conversion in place" utilities, and
they would be more dangerous than they'd be worth. The first step would
probably be "backup your data first to prevent any data loss."

Here are the steps to follow in general (adjust for your system):

1. Format destination partition with desired filesystem.
2. Mount both source and destination partitions
3. Use a tar command similar to as shown below (adjust for your system):

SRC=/mnt/hda1
DEST=/mnt/hdb1

(cd $SRC && tar -cpf - home/.) | (cd $DEST && tar -xvf -)

Caution: the above command does very little error checking. Refer to this
document for more detailed information:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/

Also, if you have may extensive use of hard links in the source, then the
restore will use more space on the destination. That is a special case
which might require the identification of multiply-linked files for
special handling.

Xine and related packages are available for Fedora releases at the DAG and

very nice Yum configuration to regularly check the sites for updates.

Help: Multi OS won't boot some OS - Grub Boot loader

Posted: 03 Nov 2005 08:52 PM PST

Thanks Douglas,
Eventually I solved my problems by:
1. Fixing the fstab files of the "troublesome" OS
2. Adding and intrd line (missing originally) in the Mandriva's stanza

Thanks
