 I'm on fully up-to-date F18 using KDE DE. Regularly, maybe every few

 It only appears for a moment. It has a little monitor icon on the left, 
 and vertical progress bars. It's about two-three inches wide and less 
 than a half inch tall. There's no text, and clicking on it doesn't do 
 anything. It lasts a couple of seconds and vanishes. What is it?

Possibly a built-in function of your laptop(?) for changing the screen
brightness.

 Here is the license: https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/Main_Page

They are using an old version of the ISC license that wasn't accepted by the
Free Software Foundation.  The current ISC license is equivalent to the

Perhaps you could persuade them to change it to the current version.

X.pub?  Do you mean Microsoft Publisher files?

If so, the the only program that I'm aware of that will open a Microsoft

The problem you're going to run into is the initial / that you used before
home/marcia when you created the tarball.  Tar won't restore the initial / so
when you extract the files they will end up in home/marcia under whatever
directory you're currently in at that time.

The easiest solution is to extract the tarball and move (with the mv command)
the marcia directory into /home on completion.

Generally speaking, users can only write files in their home directory.  So if
you restore the home directory to some kind of a default state when a user logs
out, that should be what you want.  Copy your desired home directory to a file
or an archive, then restore it on user logout.

 That I've never used a mail client before probably doesn't help.

Microsoft Outlook IS a mail client.

If you want to receive mail from a mail server (such as sendmail, postfix or,
in the Microsoft world, Microsoft Exchange) then you can use Microsoft Outlook
or any of a huge number of mail clients on Linux such as Kmail, Evolution, or
my personal favourite, Sylpheed, to pick up mail from the mail server.

If you want to transfer existing email from your Microsoft Outlook datafiles to
a different mail client that isn't Microsoft Outlook, that's a different
question.  It's my current understanding that you can use Thunderbird on
Windows to import a pst file and then import from that into Evolution or,
possibly, Sylpheed.

If you want to be able to use both Microsoft Outlook and a Linux mail client in
tandem, i.e. check and respond to your email from both systems, then you will
require a mail server that supports the imap protocol.  Depending on who
provides your email service (your isp, usually) this capability may or may not
be provided.

It depends on the design of the program but generally speaking, it's not
possible.  Some programs save datafiles and the like as they run so in those
cases it might be possible to recover and carry on from a mid-point in the
program run but unless the program is specifically designed to do that it's
pretty unlikely.

A UPS is your best solution for the future (and a smart thing to have anyway).

So you got the initial loader, and I'm guessing that it's some sort of a

While it is obviously possible to purchase access from third parties

Right-click on the main menu icon on your gnome panel bar.  Click remove.

Now it's removed from the gnome panel bar.

Right-click on a blank spot on your gnome panel bar.  Click on add

You can set up the default user's desktop in /etc/skel.  That's the home
directory that new users get when you create one.

For gdm:  Look at gdm themes.  You can make your own and test them using xnest,

For a user's desktop: If you want to set up a new default background put it

gconf-editor can do what you want to do.

You can remove the main menu application entirely, add the logout button to
the users' panels, and then go to apps-panel-global and select locked-down.
(This works for either a single user if you run gconf-editor as that user, or
globally if you run gconf-editor as root.  Note that if you set it as the user,
the same user can change it back again.)

Another alternative is apps- gnomepowermanager-can_hibernate and can_suspend

or

apps-gnomepowermanager-buttons-power (change from interactive to nothing)

Set ssh to accept only keys and not passwords.   Install a key on each

You can also run sshd on a port that isn't 22, which will cut down on the

Since your computer is still detecting the receiver you have a hardware issue
and not a Linux issue.

Are you sure the new battery is actually good?  Replace it again and see if
the problem goes away.

My Microsoft wireless mouse(s) (I have several) have a button on top of the
receiver and on the bottom of the mouse.   Pressing those apparently resets the
connection in some way.

I have found that when my mouse battery dies I get no warning at all.  The
cursor just suddenly stops moving on the screen.  The first few times it
happened I assumed that the computer had locked up in some way, in fact,
particularly because the little red light on the bottom of the mouse was still
on as normal.  But all it takes to get it going again is to put a new battery
into the mouse and generally it's not necessary to push the reset buttons on
the mouse and the receiver.

Done.  Now you can use all of your bookmarks with any web browser.  If you

The only disadvantage is that you have to manually type in any new bookmarks

I deal with this by using a system where I have my permanent bookmarks on a

Email is 7-bit and binary files are (usually) 8-bit so the encoding
process makes a file attachment substantially larger than the original
file.

Sending a file attachment to a mailing list like this is not really a
great idea anyway.

The best way to handle it is to post your file somewhere and send a
regular email to the mailing list that includes a link to your file and
an explanation of why you think it's interesting.  That way you're not
emailing a relatively large file to potentially thousands of people, 99%
of whom may not be interested in viewing it.

 I do not know how to use pastebin !!!

I've never used pastebin myself so I can't tell you exactly how to use
it; on the occasions that I want to reference a file from a mailing list
I upload the file to my webserver and put a link to that file in the
email to the mailing list.  If you have a webpage anywhere, you can do
that.

Quite a few people do use pastbin for this and that, so it can't be all
that difficult.  Try it and see what happens.  I see that you can set a
short time-to-expiry on a file so you can try pasting a small file
with a short time limit for experimental purposes.

If you're really stuck you can email me your file (off of the mailing
list) and I'll put it on my webserver for you for a few days.

 Any suggestions which one to use?

Did you read the LibreOffice download page, particularly the part where
it says This beta release is not intended for production use!

 The question is why it shouldn't be intended for productive use as it
 is based on OpenOffice that runs farly stable.

It's a beta because it's not finished and completely tested yet.  While
it's based on Openoffice, it's not Openoffice and it contains a fair bit
of stuff that's not in Openoffice.  (You can find the details on the
opendocument website.)

 Using Writer to make Business Cards.

 rectanglar boxes , no text.

You're using the wrong tool for the job.  OO Writer is a dandy
general-purpose word processor, but if you need precision placement of
text and graphics on a page, you should consider using Scribus instead.

Having said that, when you see rectangular boxes instead of text it
generally indicates that you're printing with a font that you don't
actually have, or that lacks the characters that you're using.

Since your program is doing some basic i/o you need to have a #include
stdio.h statement at the beginning of the program.

No that is not true.

Simply stated, if the program you are trying to compile was written by
you, you need to fix it.  If it was written by someone else, he needs to
fix it.

Missing the world's most basic C include statement wouldn't give me
great confidence in the quality of the rest of the program, frankly.

This isn't the best mailing list for discussing C programming.  If you
want to learn C your best bet is to get a good book and work from that.

I highly recommend C Primer Plus (5th Edition) by Stephen Prata.

Re: [OT] e-mail problems

 This makes no sense to me. If someone sending an e-mail to me gets

 how could my router affect that? The router in question is a Linksys

Are you running your own mailserver?  If not, and your email is being
handled by the ISP's mailserver and you merely run a mail client of some
kind to read your email, then what you have on your end has nothing to
do with the ISP's mailserver at all.

 your local lan addresses are being assigned by your router not the

The OP states that the error is between the ISP's mailserver and the
person who's trying to send mail to his account on that mailserver.

His home lan setup is irrelevant to and not involved with that session
in any way.  His computers could all be turned off with equal effect.

Re: HTML editor under gnome

 Gedit has html plugins. You could try the BlueFish editor as well.

The geany programmer's editor handles html files, though I have never
personally used it for that.  I do use geany all the time for other
stuff, though.

When creating webpagese, I use Openoffice to do the layout, then
hand-edit the html using nedit if needed.  Just keep on saving the html
and hitting reload on Firefox to see how it looks.

Re: faster /dev/random

But you're also doing something predicatable and repetetive -- moving
your mouse in circles for 10 minutes.
 
 I'm a bit wary of urandom since it will cut down on the search space

 my key.  If I need to wait a few days for my 28 keys to be crunched,
 I'd
 rather just wait.

I suspect that your repetetive circular mouse movements have already
reduced the randomness of the numbers you are generating so
using /dev/urandom may give you similar results with less effort on your
part.
