[ubuntu-uk] Strange GDM Problem

2008-11-22 Thread DarkOtter
I'm curently having a strange problem with GDM (although fortunately it's relatively minor). The problem occurs like this, most of the startup goes normally, GDM begins to start. Then presumably some kind of error occurs, because GDM restarts. The second time it starts, it works absolutely fine.

Well, I'm no expert on earphones or sound quality etc., and I'm sure you've heard this before but, If you're prepared to spend about £20 the sennheiser PMX100s (or the other ones, the pmx are the ceckband which I prefer) are very good. Quite sturdy generally, and (to me) they seem to have very

I had a look at Amazon for the pmx but they're not in-ear type of earphones that I'm after. Ah, sorry, missed that bit, but I thought I did say they were the neckband type. Anyway, sorry to go off topic then, I hadn't realised that. Can't say I notice any sort of adverse sound quality in the

But, what I'd love, is a way I can type say 11 command and get it to turn 11 lines into a comment. Does anyone know of a nice way to do that in vim? It's a little bit hacky, but the way I do that is to do a substitute with the 'start of line' token in the regexp. That way you can use a

[ubuntu-uk] Vim keybinding for filter

2008-08-17 Thread DarkOtter
Sorry to ask what is probably a silly question (I bet i've just missed one vital detail in this). Anyways, I am trying to set a keybinding for a filter in vim. I can use the filter normally (i.e by typing :%!~/Scripts/Signature enter) but when I try to map it to a key it does not worked. The

A couple of comments: * I'm not entirely sure why ^s doesn't resolve to Ctrl-S, but I would generally use the C-s form. * Ctrl-S is a terminal command meaning stop terminal output, so you probably won't be able to use it in Vim. * You'll need to get your mapping to do a Carriage Return at
