[SLUG] CAcert assurance @ SLUG, Mon 22nd Jan

Hi there, There was massive interest in being CAcert assured at linux.conf.au - so why not do one at/after the SLUG meeting tomorrow? You'll need two forms of government issues ID (at least one with a photo), and the appropriate form printed out - more information at http://wiki.cacert.or

Hey Ken, Thanks for that. I had absolutely no idea. Never heard of it! I've just installed it to check it out. Again, thanks. Regards, Patrick Ken Wilson wrote: there is also prefixsuffix and thunar bulk rename in the ubuntu repositories Ken elliott-brennan wrote: ...in Digikam. 'too

Re: [SLUG] Partitioning

Hi, Don't know if you have solved this as yet, but the way to get it to recognise the / partition is to delete the old / and remake it. Sounds silly, but it was the only way I could get it to work. No need to play with the others, just / I think. HTH Heracles [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Th

Re: [SLUG] GUI batch renaming and renumbering tool

Re: [SLUG] Hosed Ubuntu by apt-get upgrade

Rather than a pointless ramble about an unrelated process for a completely unrelated distro, I'll offer something useful: if you can be at Slug tomorrow night, I'll have an ubuntu livecd for you (if you want - you may well be able to make your own much faster ;) A livecd should be able to mount t

[SLUG] Lost + found.

I have a flash drive that will no longer open and shows only a 'Lost + found' file response. I tried opening it as root via the GUI but it says it is empty. Have I lost all my files or is there some way around this? Any help appreciated even if it is bad news. John. -- SLUG - Sydney Linu

[SLUG] System freeze - how to diagnose?

The power light was on, but no-one home. Nothing responding, no ping. Other machines on the same UPS are running fine. I rebooted and got a "30 times mounted" forced disk check - no problem there. Everything came up fine. Nothing in syslog or anywhere else I can think of. The only thing notable w

[SLUG] ATI Radeon 64 bit drivers

Hi All, Great LCA2007 eh! I have a small problem with my ATI Radeon 9250. I have downloaded the 64 bit installer but it fails with the message "ati-installer.sh: 165: syntax error: bad substitution". Is this a bug in the system or is it something else? Any clue would be helpful. TIA Heracles -
