I was taught to avoid needless use of the "cat" command. Looks neater I guess.
grep '^charge' /proc/pmu/battery_0|sed -e 's/.*: //'

Are you using quotation marks in the command? If so, don't - it'll make the shell look for the file /dev/nvidia* (which doesn't exist) instead of copying each file starting with /dev/nvidia (eg...

Getting nvidia drivers to work on Fedora does tend to be a bit nightmarish. Redhat's udev FAQ says how to fix this by doing "cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices" and "chown root.root...

A technocracy.

Interesting. The issue the original poster described seems more like an issue of IP law rather than a technical issue. Red Hat deliberately stripped the ability to play MP3 files from their...

I think you're misunderstanding how a web browser works in linux. It's not like Internet Explorer's "I'm part of the Operating System now" garbage. There's no special option to configure the...

Ok, I should've known that people would've known about scp..

This FedoraForum thread has a fairly long list of things that could go wrong with scp. Most of them appear to be bugs with the scp...

Can the linux box connect to its own samba share successfully?

Man, they don't make it easy.

It's interesting reading about the different window managers that are out there, but I'm wondering just how big the difference between all the different wms are, and what specific differences would...

The "components" RMS was talking about were probably things like the commandline utilities to manipulate files (ls, cp, mv, etc.), the utilities used to write programs (gcc, make, etc.), and other...

I can see why you've been having problems. JAMD is an uncommon linux distribution. This means people know less about it than, say, Redhat or Debian, and that it has certain quirks that people may not...

Are you running KDE as root? There's a bug in Mandrake 9.1 that leaves the busy cursor onscreen for root, but doesn't do it it if a regular user logs into KDE. It should be possible to fix it for...
