transferring data (after losing all non-root logins)

2003-06-23 Thread David Syphers
I recently forgot my root password, rebooted single-user and changed it, and immediately afterwards the computer denied the existence of any non-root users (home directories still there for those that had them, they still have login shells, etc.). This was the only change made to the system. This

trouble with ogle performance after going to 5.0-R

2003-02-01 Thread David Syphers
I recently installed 5.0-R (and KDE 3.1, thus the cc:). Ogle now has terrible performance - very jerky. Last weekend, when this computer (an Athlon XP 1800+) had 4-stable and KDE 3.0.5, ogle perfomance on the same DVD was perfectly smooth. Since ogle didn't change, I assume it's something to do
