Apologies for top posting - this web based client does not accommodate proper indenting. Gerald, I am pretty sure you are using PCLOS or Mandriva with KDE. You should be able to go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and remove the files of the form ifcfg-ethX. When done, use MCC -> Network & Inte

Did you CC or BCC all your friends? If you CC a lot of people, that can be taken as an indicator of spam. As for standards, well email-wise we're living in a swamp, and the recommended practice in many instances is to ignore the standard (e.g. not bouncing mis-addressed mail) or exploring the

2008-09-17 Thread bill
Have Kubuntu Hardy installed and running fine for ages. Replaced DVDRW with new unit, now it is not "seen" by system/k3b etc. Boots fine from a linux livecd/dvd. I assume that this is because of the "fantastic" UUID system. How do I 'Fix" it? Is it simply a matter of something like changing a

Patrick/Chris, So any idea of what the root issue was? Every camera produced JPEG these days has an EXIF header. It would seem that the camera is in need of a firmware upgrade if it is writing bodgy EXIF (or less likely that GIMP has encountered an EXIF field not properly handled) Martin On Sat,
