[SLUG] Cool OpenSource Project for the week : Gambas3 - Going where Visual Basic wanted to go - on Linux

Re: [SLUG] Firefox 20.0 Problems in Mint Linux

That's a joy of Linux, stuff gets screwed up for no obvious reason. I'm really peaved now that my Terminology terminal stopped working showing similar symptons after I changed a config setting, now it won't let me get back to the same menu to change it to something else. I'd suggest fresh reinsta

[SLUG] Coffee Table Linux

In Europe, people not only use Linux to power data-centres but also their coffee tables. Adding LED's to your Linux can give very relaxing results. Here's a nice coffee-table probject for Linux along with a link to the source code: - https://metalab.at/wiki/RetinaTattoo -- SLUG - Sydney Linux U

Re: [SLUG] 20 years of using Linux at home

worked perfectly. I learnt enough to do basic maintenance before eventually moving on to Redhat 5. I never did have to buy that router :) I found it hard to believe that this strange Slackware stuff could do what Microsoft singularly failed to do. David On 07/04/13 01:50, Rick Welykochy

[SLUG] Fwd: Cool New Terminal Emulator for a modern look in Linux (David Lyon)

Apart from all the eye-candy in Terminology I found that it has one really useful command that helped me at work. It has commands called 'tyls' and 'tycat'. What theydo is list out files in a command line along with a preview. It doesn't sound much but normally you have to go out to some gui file

[SLUG] CFP - Tokyo Raspberry-Pi Users Group Linux Talks

This is as much an opportunity to learn as it is to talk, but I'm passing on this information as the Raspberry-Pi is after all a Linux Machine for the masses: """ We've already set our biggest Raspberry Jam on May 25th at IIJ Jinbocho Office. so we getting started opening Call for Paper for the ev

Another way of learning Linux is to come to Hardware Freedom Day at the Raspberry-Pi users group. - http://www.ozberrypi.org/events/109635212/ It's not really structured, but you will get exposure and see Linux in action. I've been doing Linux for some years and I always learn something that I

Re: [SLUG] mount point for Android phone

Thanks! I didn't think of the mount command - there is is: gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/david/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=david) /home/david/.gvfs/gphoto2\ mount\ on\ usb%3A002\,008/ Not exactly elegant, but it looks effective :) On 21/10/12 15:51, Edwin Hump

[SLUG] mount point for Android phone

When I plug in my shiny new Samsung S3 it mounts beautifully - gphoto2 filesystem? - but I can't figure out what the mount point is for use in bash. I'm assuming that since Ubuntu mounts the files, there must be a mount point. Can anyone help? David. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Us
