Hey everyone,

I bought a Linksys WMP300N wireless card about a year ago and I had tried installing it on my Slackware 12 box using ndiswrapper with mixed results. It worked awesome but after 30...

Hey everyone.

I'm having some difficulties with my XBOX. It has a dead hard drive. I found a guide online using PonyProg to read the EEPROM on the XBOX to get the unlock code for the hard drive...

I had considered it but I figured cron would have been easier as it seemed like at would sleep the command, using resources, where cron would only execute the command at a given schedule.

I don't...

Cool. I will just see if this cron script works as I like it better cause I wrote it :p That and cron is running anyway so I don't really need to add yet another daemon to eat up system resources. ...

Yes, I know of their daemon/service client that they offer. my router will update DynDNS when the IP changes and that's the utility I'm using, even though they don't recommend it as it's not as...

Hey everyone,

I've been struggling with time in KDE for months now. It was to the point today that it was out by about 11 minutes, never having been re-synced since I installed in in summer 2008....

Thanks!!!

I read about the / operator but it didn't seem to do what I wanted it to do so I didn't try it. I figured in the sense of days it would run every 28 days in a month and the counter was restarted...

Thanks for the reply! I dunno about that. 4 lines of code is a lot simpler than my logic complex script that's going to look at dates and times and make sure there isn't a job scheduled etc., etc.....

Hey everyone!!!

I need to schedule a task for every 28 days. From what I can tell cron won't do this.

First,
I have a web server on my desktop and I have a few personal projects I'm working...

Hey everyone,

I have tried figuring out how to get KRDC to use my VPN connection to connect but I can't find anything in the configurations. Once I connect to the VPN,

If I run ping -c 5 -I...

I love Slackware. I love linux. I still hate Windows.

You know what's sad? I had a harder time installing a piece of software on my grandfathers computer than I have ever had with Slackware...

I looked into that, I think it's called x11vnc or something to that nature. I wasn't sure it could be configured for viewing only, thanks!

Is there a way I can get a non-intrusive view of someone's X session? I googled it and I can't get anything relating to what I'm looking for. Esentially I just want to view what their doing on...

Hey everyone,

I noticed that in Slackware, when I open a konsole session and su root and reboot the machine, another console session pops up and sends the reboot message.

I was wondering if I...

Nope, I did a fresh install of Slackware 12.1 from DVD and the entire filsystem is on /dev/hda1. Then I had installed Gnome Slack.Build via: "lynx --source http://gnomeslackbuild/net-install |...

Noone has anything to say about this? I'd have figured everyone would be amazed that root received permission denied messages while a limited user had access to umount and rm the directory.

Hey everyone, I got an odd error. I tried:
su root
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd
cp /mnt/dvd/*.avi /home/user
chown -R user /home/user
I got cannot modify /home/user/.gvfs. This was on a fresh...

After testing it only seems to be an issue in Gnome Slack Build

I have a small problem with my desktop environment.

The most noticeable is that the 5 leftmost pixels of the screen are showing up on the right side of the monitor. That I could live with, but...

Well, I finally found someone who got the "Interface doesn't support IP addresses" error message and it seems they were trying to work with wireless as well. They didn't end up with a solution but...

Hey, I'm having troubles configuring wireless at work. I haven't been able to connect to a wireless connection at all. One thing that is bothering me is that when I run /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart I...

Hey everyone, this one is beyond me. I don't even know where to start to look for the solution. I've tried reinstalling lilo but that proves to not be the issue.

When I first installed I got the...

[edit]
yes bwkaz it's a workaround :p

I prefer to use the text editor development method but I find larger projects get a little too confusing.

2008 being bloated and slow! I know! We've got...

You may also want to start with an older version of the kernel v1.0 or earlier.
