This is a workaround to a problem that was introduced into a recent kernel. This assumes that your scanner is supported and should work. This solution was done on a Canon CanoScan N670U , which ceased to work after a recent kernel upgrade. This solution has been reported to work on other scanners. T...

At the very least this means we know where to look for computers that play nice with Linux, provided they aren't slipping in binary blobs. Companies usually do slip in binary blobs, but Lenovo (IBM) laptops are some of the best Linux compatible laptops out there. One major factor is due to having s...

You can change your graphical server settings via /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In fact, please post the output of that file in this thread (please include it in code tags) and also tell us what resolution you want to use.

plb - would i have to click into each individual distro on distrowatch to find out what the default DM is? Have to say I knew people created their own Linux versions but as many as 100 amazes me. Distrowatch has around 400 distributions listed. What you saw was just the top 100. Also, not every dis...

Try the KDM handbook:

If that does not help, read this:
Chapter 7. Supporting multiple window managers

If you used aptitude to install, removing the kde package will remove kde. If not, try removing the kde task via aptitude. You may have installed it via the task.

While I do not have the newest Xorg version (as I do not run Sid), from what I have read the driver i810 should be changed to intel. Thus this line: Driver "i810" should now be this: Driver "intel" In the new driver, the way in which multi-monitor setups has changed dramatically....

Try this: tar -xvf tarfile.tar Where tarfile.tar is your tar file. Notice that the -z option is for gunzip (with extension .gz) files. Or to be more precise, a tar file compressed with gunzip. Thus you would use tar -xvzf with a file called tarfile.tar.gz. Give us the full output, including exactly ...

You should be more specific as to your needs. What do you mean by a movie maker? Are you sure you want to create a movie? Maybe all you want is to create a video? Do you need something that allows you to create customized video? Kino is good for DV files, there is also Kdenlive which is a more gener...

I do not know of a solution, but answering these two questions may help. 1) In Konqueror, what does it show in Go -> Storage Media? Does it show your desired partition? If so, can you right-click and and mount it? Can you left-click view it? 2) In Konqueror, does the partition show up when you enter...

Is this what you are trying to do: use a usb stick to open up a LUKS partition on a computer? So you would plug in your usb stick which would open up your partition just as if you were to enter a passphrase. In other words, you want to use the usb stick as the LUKS key. Correct? Read " Get rid ...

I have similar problems on i810 driver. Here is my Xorg version Can you please put everything in proper code tags instead of just pasting it all without effort. It really helps in reading when everything is in its own code tag. I think proper formatting is the least anyone can do when asking for he...

Works fine here using i810 xorg driver. Post your xorg.conf (in code tags).

Also, post the output of this:

Read the official LUKS homepage:

For your specific question, see the answer to the FAQ "I would like to have keys on a USB stick. Can you add that please?" here:

Hey, where can I submit bugs in Konq? I know of two: 1. On the search page here (if you can see it without setting up an account), you can't fill in anything under Property Criteria. 2. On map sites like here and here , you can't use the Map Tools, like magnify. Both of these functions works in Ice...

Before you say 'pay them', I can't afford $40/mo. Even if you could, you should not pay companies that are so annoying. In Konqueror, you can block Javascript based on URL, but that will block your search if that search requires JavaScript. Your only option is to use IceWeasel with SeaMonkey and co...

Start alsamixer and make sure Master and PCM are not 100%. Below 93 should work well.

You do not need to make it so complicated! Debian has an option to make kde the default "desktop" when you install it! After you boot the CD, before you continue to boot the installation itself, there will be a screen to press enter or type your own options. Press the F1-9 keys and on one ...

If you are using Wine, the programs should be installed to your user, not to root. If your username is kc1di, then all wine programs should be installed in /home/kc1di/.wine/<some directories here>. You should not install them via root. Now wine itself, that should be installed via root. Think of it...
