This seems to be a new bug in wine.

Old versions of ubuntu work fine. I have yet to track down the exact problem. It seems to affect all versions of mstsc.exe.

The symptoms are mstsc(Windows...

Hi,

I have a laptop that from time to time (ie. every few hours) will freeze.

The problem results in an entirely frozen screen (including mouse), and caps lock etc. lights stuck. Even the...

Ferrat:
You raise some good points.

deleting someone elses stuff wouldn't be a problem - it would be handled just as if the data had gone offline or been corrupted/lost - ie. the data duplication...

Hi,

I've been thinking of ideas for a single global distributed filesystem, and thought I'd mention them here so others can contribute. The project status at the moment is design stage only, and...

IF this was done intentionally, it may not have been to directly "attack" desktop Linux. It could be that since the motherboard was designed for desktop PC's, the manufacturers of the PC/board/BIOS...

Well it looks to me like it could be quite easy to implement, and if I get time I could even do it myself. If I did write a patch for this, what are the chances of it being included? (I don't want...

Just did a search and still can't find it (looked through all the results in this topic, and the first couple of pages of results on other topics) - forgive my incompetance!

What was the reason...

If the hidden ".Trash-1000" folder is empty when a device is unmounted through gnome, the folder should be deleted.

I suggest this because it confuses many users who use USB sticks on both Ubuntu...

Well from the results posted it's clear the core of the problem is the kernels IO scheduling, When two copy operations are trying to read/write data from the same source the kernel should schedule...

Yep that would do as well, although I think that might be something a bit more complex (ie. it does some pretty complex transforms on the audio to make the loud bits quieter and the quiet bits...

I've narrowed my problem down to this code:


while [ true ]; do
echo hello my name is foo | flite -o /dev/stdout | aplay -r 16000 -f S16_LE
done


The loop will go round 25 or so times, and...

solved it myself - it turns out aplay was what I was looking for.

is there a command line tool to take wav data from stdin and play it through pulseaudio/alsa?

I'm trying to do something like this:


cat testfile.wav | transform1 | transform2 | output
...

how loud is the sound at 1%?

I don't have any sound measuring equipment, but the volume I want is so that voice sound is audible and understandable in a totally silent room (ie. not in a city) at...

Yes there are lots of wiki pages about how to do it, but I' afraid there's no "3 click" maker for ubuntu yet.

I've done it myself, and providing you follow the wiki t the letter it's painless. ...

You can do this two ways round (both giving the same results):

Install Ubuntu from a desktop liveCD, and then installing the server components you need.

Install ubuntu from the server CD, and...

Problem:
1. My computer sound won't go loud enough at a party
2. My computer sound won't go quiet enough for night time use.

Problem 1 can only be solved by getting bigger/better speakers and...

Hi,

Nice program.

For acceptance around the Ubuntu community I think you'll find you need to focus on applications where the menu is used for other uses OTHER than direct application...

I agree with chris - a local user should always (by default) have shutdown priviliges because otherwise they'll pull the plug or hit the reset button doing more damage. A warning would be good to...

Wow cool.

hellomoto: I consider it bad practice to allow standard users sudo abilities, just like it's bad practice to give users administrator accounts in windows.

I also consider it important that a user...

yep and also tracepath seems to come up with substantially different results from traceroute. For example tracepath seems to be blocked by some ISP between me and google.com, whereas traceroute is...

yep but joining the files like that won't get you any compression benefits from having nearly the same files in all 3 distros. I'm guessing by modding the casper scripts you could do one of these to...

hellomoto: I mean WITHOUT sudo - it shouldn't be necessary to get extra privilidges to do something thats possible without extra privilidges.

chrisccoulson: if you know how to do that that...

Maybe we need a CLI utility to send a DBUS call to hal then so we can get the same functionality from the console?
