Re: [eug-lug]Today's KDE Tip: kernel config / webmin / dreambox
Maybe you can add on to this webmin module: http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/iptables/ (it works as an rc-script...) or roll your own: http://webmin.com/modules.html I noticed webmin just won a popularity contest over at Linux Journal; I think it will really help bring linux to the desktop and home environments, it is so easily adaptable I think we'd be seeing variants of it in consumer products, what think you of that? I know each company already has their own developed (and in development) but at some point, a new company will simply do a serious QA round on their adaption of it in order to save money in development and maintenance. As evidence, I remind you of the recently-/.'ed DreamBox: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/10/1926202mode=thread which points to http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7482684956.html product link: http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/Bereiche/Produkte/DM7000.php specs: http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/Bereiche/Produkte/DM7000_featurelist.php I'd rather hack on a full-fledged system, which aside from video is the same or cheaper, but this is quite cool nonetheless!!

[eug-lug]Today's KDE Tip
Look, I'm not trying to sell anyone on KDE, I just keep finding these really weird and useful things in it. GNOME is good. Enlightenment and fluxbox and fvwm and all the rest are good. CDE is -- well, it's okay with me if you use CDE, so long as you don't make me use it too.* Today's discovery is that you can configure your kernel from within the KDE Control Center. Open the Control Center by clicking the wrench icon at the bottom of the screen, then selecting Control Center from the menu that pops up. Then open the Linux Kernel Configurator by clicking System Administration - Linux Kernel. It's a nicer interface than make xconfig, and next time I need to tweak some kernel parameters, I definitely plan to use it. I'm using KDE 3.1.4. I don't know whether this is in earlier versions. * In a previous life, I worked with an engineer who liked CDE. We would work in her cube, and take turns driving, and both of us would get completely frustrated with the mechanics of moving windows around and getting the useful stuff to where we could see it. We'd work in my cube (I think I was running some old version of KDE), and work would get done much quicker. It got to the point where we'd both agree to move to my cube to do nontrivial amounts of work. But she never thought about switching away from CDE. It was some kind of blind spot. -- Bob Miller Kbob kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
Re: [eug-lug]Today's KDE Tip
Thats funny... I just saw that yesterday from the panel menu (actually, I use gnome panel under E!), Theres a KDE menu at the bottom of my gnome-applications panel, under the kde menu, select: settings-modules/System Administration/Linux Kernel. I havnt used it, but its nice to see it :) Jamie On Sunday 12 October 2003 10:37 am, Bob Miller wrote: : Look, I'm not trying to sell anyone on KDE, I just keep finding these : really weird and useful things in it.

Re: [eug-lug]Today's KDE Tip
I changed mine from the default to opening a new tab, entering all this on one line in the preferences: ps x |grep -q '[m]ozilla' mozilla -remote openURL(%s, new-tab) || mozilla %s On 10/08/03 01pm, Bob Miller wrote: I recently discovered something cool in KDE. Some of you already know this, some of you don't care, some of you don't use KDE, but maybe there's one or two of you who will find this helpful. (-: If you launch klipper, aka Cut 'n' Paste History, then whenever you make a text selection that happens to be a URL (starts with http:// or https://) then a menu pops up in the lower right corner of your screen and lets you select from several browsers to open that URL. We already knew that. (Some of us did. Maybe.) Today's tip is, that menu also has keyboard shortcuts. For example, just type, 'M' to open the URL in Mozilla. That saves you the trouble of dragging the cursor all the way down to the very corner of the screen, then lining it up on a little bitty menu item. (My mousing skills aren't good. I have trouble selecting menu items quickly. I have trouble double-clicking too.) I've always found klipper to be a handy thing. Now that I know about its keyboard shortcuts, I like it even better. Some people don't care for klipper. I'm no missionary* -- if you don't like it, right-click** its icon in the panel (it looks like a clipboard with a K), and select Quit from the pop-up. Then say No when it asks whether it should start automatically. We hope you have enjoyed Today's KDE Tip. * I'm a Linux missionary, but not a Klipper missionary. ** Technically, that should be button-3-click, for the Lefties. ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
