cdrecord and multiple copies of same file
Mon, 01 Jun 2009 07:03:39 -0500
For a perfectly good reason, I tried to make an audio CD with several
identical tracks using the same .WAV file name repeated on the command
line
cdrecord [switches] file.wav file.wav file.wav file.wav file.wav file.wav
It appeared to work, writing the requested number of copies to CD, but
the resulting CD ...

3 Mobile Broadband and Linux
Sun, 31 May 2009 04:11:20 -0700 (PDT)
3 are giving away mobile broadband dongles for postage (¡ê5) at the
moment, through www.3dongles4free.co.uk. I acquired one on the what-
the-hell principle and then started trying to get it to work with
Ubuntu. The canonical solutions seems to involve installing usb-
modeswitch and zte-mf627-switch, but having done ...

Sun, 31 May 2009 02:02:24 -0700 (PDT)
Hi
Tried to upgrade Ubuntu from (I think) 8.04 to 8.10 and it broke X. Or
it might have broken lots of things, but until X is fixed I don 't
know how bad the damage is.The upgrade went as far as 'restart' then I
got half the screen with "distribution upgrade" running in the bottom
bar and things froze.

IceWM + KDE4 on Debian/Ubuntu = ?
Wed, 27 May 2009 20:16:05 +0100
I seem to have the same problem with one machine on Intrepid and another on
Squeeze: very few KDE4 apps show up in IceWM's menus, for example on the
Debian one only kTorrent is there. Has the format of KDE's menus changed for
this version?

OT : Recommendations for Dell battery supplier
Tue, 26 May 2009 21:23:13 +0100

it matters in the present context, but yes it is Vista because I can't be
there to teach her linux and she used Windows in the past. The battery
has handed in its dinner pail - which seems pretty poor. A Dell
replacement is > ?¡ê100. Ca ...

usb memory stick for linux
23 May 2009 19:07:05 GMT
Sorry for this very elementary question about memory sticks but I've
never used one and know nothing about them.
I have ordered an Asus EEE PC 901 for my wife and want to install Debian
on it. The instructions for doing this say I should used a USB memory
stick to boot the image from. Do all of these work with L ...
