Hi all,
Matt Mullenweg noted that it was the fifth year of WordPress, announced a
party for WordPress in San Francisco, and welcomed birthday events around
the world. So here’s a response from the other side of the Pacific... Any
WordPress-loving folks around the country want to join in?
Further to my post on nfs problems:
I tempoorarily achieved nirvana when I opened up (on my eeepc) the file
browser as root. As soon as this opened, the non-root file browser
filled with the previously un-permissioned contents of the exports. I
have not figured out why.
However, when I tried

I find Channel 7 keeps breaking the system so badly that 50% is unusable.

I've got near perfect reception of channel 7 and I've found that ad

Hi All,
Has anyone got a SATA DVD burner working under linux yet? From the brief
googling around it is supposed to be supported but I'm having no luck
with one I bought recently. Is there anything special I should be
setting or should it just work?
I'm finding when I attempt to burn (I've tried

You can set up the com port paramters inside of minicom aswell.

I would use minicom, which is quite easy to set up as a serial terminal
and you can turn logging on and off. I used minicom today on my eeepc
at our cattle yards to look at what was happening when our electronic

10 is near perfect _except_ for The Simpsons. Always seems to skip the

I'm using Evolution as my GUI email client at the moment (and mutt for
text mode stuff).
I notice that when I delete email with IMAP accounts, the email gets
marked as deleted rather than being moved to the Trash.
Anyone know if there's a way of changing Evolutions's behaviour ie so

I need some advice. I'm running Debian Etch on a four year old box. I
has (had) two disk drives, one of which dropped dead.
Looking for new ones, I see P/ATA and S/ATA. Can I use either one of
these, or do they require special motherboard support? How do I tell if
my system supports either one?
PATA is basically the same as what you might have known as ATA or IDE
- with the wide 40 pin ribbon cable and header connector. (Yes you can
get round IDE cables but that is mainly aesthetics and airflow - the
connector is the same.
SATA is the new-fangled type of connector with a skinny flat

Alan,
However, most new motherboards have limited support for PATA - often
only having one connector for that these days, as it is basically
used just for the DVD drive. These boards tend to have at least 4 SATA
ports, and often two are RAIDable. At some stage PATA drives will
become more

I have 2 x LG SuperMulti SATA DVD W/R Drives in my setup. They work
really well, and burning has been more reliable than was with the old
PATA style drives. I don't know if it is my imagination or not, but
they certainly seem to burn quicker too, and with less I/O wait from
the CPU
With Xorg 7.3 (as on Hardy) you might find that you are better off
just removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and letting bulletproof X do it's
thing. It will create a new sensible xorg.conf that *should* work.
(You have some crud in the old one that didn't migrate properly)
Failing that, run sudo
