Do a google search for smpeg-gtv and avifile-player. If you have debian you can just apt-get them. They are both lightweight and I have been using them for years. I only have xine a s a backup for...

I have debian testing and an external zoom modem that is set to disconnect me when there is an incomming phone call. However, every time I get disconnected, it doesn't redial automattically. I'm...

I have never had this problem before, but for the last few weeks, all of my GTK applications have been slow to respond, almost like I am running low on memory. These include sylpheed and synaptic, as...

Try looking in /share/doc/lg-issue52. You should have a file here named lg-issue52.tar.gz. When i can't find where a program is installed, I go to packages.debian.org. At the bottom of the page you...

I know I can just use kppp or something similar, but Is there a way to do it from the command line?

I just made a post last night about how to set wallpaper using the fluxbox menu. Well I've found an even better way for anyone who uses rox-filer. This will work for any window manager and background...

I found the section of the script that handles this, however I have very little experience in writing shell scripts. Here is an attachment.

I ran the script as you suggested and the results were surprising. They use a completely different method which would take forever to do manually. I may look at which part of the script does this and...

I've been trying to figure out how to do this withought using the fluxbox-generate_menu script, because the script adds a bunch of unnecessary clutter and I only like to have certian programs in the...

I can't remember which program it was, but a few weeks ago when I ran a new program from the console for the fist time, an error message said " no ~/.config file found, it sucks to be you.

The main reason I installed Linux is because I read an article about it and I was enticed by the open source philosophy. I was also very tired of the BSOD, Crashes, and running out of memory in...

Fluxbox...once I gave it a chance and set it up just right, I love it.

I just found this article, this is rediciulous.

I just started using gkrellm, and I notice than my CPU usage is always between 75-100% when I have a lot of programs open. Is this normal? Also, Is it bad for the CPU to always be at this kind of...

I bought one of these for $20, but I'm about to return it if I can't get it to work properly. It can be used with either a single usb for both keyboard and mouse, or two ps2 cables. When I try the...

It's a bug with libglade2-0. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=288445

Go here http://people.debian.org/~mvo/synaptic/sarge/ and download the proposed update of synaptic, or if you...

I just put a dvd player in my computer, and no matter which player I use, unless I turn deinterlacing off, the sound starts out choppy and then I get complete silence. Video plays fine unless I use...

Thank you, I've been using the oss modules for a long time and have just recently switched to alsa (or so I thought) last month. As it turns out I didn't have the alsa tools installed. I installed...

Actually I did misunderstand Linux memory handling. KDE uses about 25MB more memory than icewm amd abour 20MB more than XFCE on my machine. With 196MB of memory, that isn't a big deal to me, however...

This is not meant to be a "KDE is better than..." thread, because I think that it all comes down to personal preference. After all that is why Linux is so great...you always have a choice. I just...

I decided to try XFCE 4.2rc3 and while sound worked fine in xfce4, now the mixer no longer detects my sound card. However, I can start kmix and it works fine. I tried downloading a few gui mixer...

I have a diamond Viper 550 video card, and since I don't play any games, I've always used the generic nvidia driver from xfree86. Is there any advantage to switching to the official nvidia kernel...

the avifile-player also supports windows media. You just have to have the windows dll's in /usr/lib/win32. I've been usining it for years with few problems.

I also recommend a zoom external serial modem, I've been using one for four years with no complaints.

Is the only real difference the license? From what I can tell xfree86 is still open source, they just want the copyright holders to get credit in the documentation. Are there any other good reasons...
