I work in a web development company and we'll soon be getting actual offices. Because we make extensive use of adobe apps, the work machines will run mainly windows, but I was thinking of setting up a central office server that would run linux. Do you think that's a good idea, even though most of the machines will be running windows? I was thinking of using it as a SVN server, file server (so I'd probably have to install samba or something, how complicated is that?) and maybe web server.

Samba is pretty straight forward for it too. I've never had much luck with other distros, however I never spent too much time fiddling with them.

I'm running uTorrent under WINE since I couldn't find a Linux torrent program with comparable features that wasn't Azureus. It worked great for about a week. Recently, for some reason, uTorrent has started acting as if the main program window has been dragged offscreen somewhere. There's no icon in the Gnome taskbar and I can't get to the program at all. It's definitely still running though, it shows up in System Monitor and I can open new torrents from Firefox and the Add New Torrent dialog box pops up. Is there any way I can have WINE reset window positions or something like that?

I did a cursory inspection of this thread and didn't see it mentioned, so here goes: I'm running Red Hat Enterprise 4.3, and Gnome 2.8 (at least thats what it says in the about gnome screen). I've successfully figured out how to effect changes to the Applications menu globally, but all of my efforts on removing certain parts of the Actions menu have failed. My objective is to get rid of Run Application, Search for Files, and Recent Documents. I found a key in gconf-editor in /desktop/gnome/lockdown called disable_command_line which seems to work for the Run Application menu item, but I don't know if that affects anything else besides the Run Application item. Docs imply that other things will be affected as well, such as global terminal access. Besides that I can remove logout and lock screen through gconf-editor, but the recent documents and search for files options seem to be stuck there forever. Anyone have experience with the Actions menu and how to change it around for all users?

I'm trying to get the intel chipset drivers working on my laptop and I'm following the guide at intellinuxgraphics.org. I'm having trouble understanding how to install agpgart. Apparently I have to patch the kernel. I've downloaded the latest source for the linux kernel and I plan to recompile and reinstall agpgart and the new kernel source to have agpgart and the 2.6.something kernel. I have the source for the patch, but I can't copy it into /usr/src. It comes as a bzip, but I I'm denied permission to copy it into that folder. I know this has something to do with admin privlidges but I can't get it working right...

I'd be surprised if any up-to-date distro didn't include this module by default, or at least in an easily accessible package. Regardless, you can only write to /usr/src as root, and as you're building a kernel I assume that you do have root priveleges. Either way, it's not necessary to put the kernel source in /usr/src, just customary. You can build straight out of your home directory if you'd like.

Alfajor posted:I'm trying to figure out some C code (basically a if (chmod (file,mode)) ). What is the return type of chmod, and more importantly, what's what? 1 true? or 0 is true? For most Unix system functions, 0 or higher means success and -1 means failure. It puts the precise error code in the "errno" variable. For chmod, it's always either 0 or -1, but some others have meaningful return values (like getpid(), where the return value is the pid or -1 on failure.) You can find the answers to questions like this by typing "man 2 chmod" (if you just type "man chmod" it gives you the first one it finds, which happens to by the shell command. The C system function calls are in section 2, so "man 2".) If you don't have the manpages installed on your system, google for "man chmod" will find online copies.

JoeNotCharles posted:If you don't have the manpages installed on your system, google for "man chmod" will find online copies. This is true. Another trick is to note that the user command chmod is found in section 1, and thus referred to within documentation as chmod(1), whereas the function is a system call and in section 2 and thus referred to as chmod(2). So, when you go off and google, you can get more useful results by googling chmod(2) or whatever. Any functions you'd be looking up will be in section 2 or 3, which makes it relatively easy to avoid ambiguous cases (such as printf(1) vs printf(3) &c.) . And, as noted before, when using man, you specify the section before the command.

I've been running ubuntu for 2 years now and I'd like to know why it always feels faster when I go back to windows. Minimizing, unminimizing, moving windows, switching tabs in firefox, all 'feels' better in windows. It always feels like there's some kind of lag. Is this because of X? The nvidia binary drivers? Gnome? My computer parts: AMD Athlon64, S939 3200+ Fast (ricer) overpriced memory, 1 gig MSI k8n Neo2 platinum mobo (neforce3, I think) nVidia 6600GT AGP, 128mb I love linux, I'm attached to my terminal, gnu utilities, and all the great tools built in to gnome, but I really like the responsiveness of windows. Any tips?

You're not alone here, I've always felt the same way. I guess it's the consistency of Ubuntu (Linux) being slightly lagged as compared to Windows getting laggier over time that makes it easier to keep running. If you were using something like Slackware or Gentoo where you had more control over your libraries I'd say maybe you have something you could improve on, but in my experience, you're stuck in the same spot I am.

I don't like that answer  I am very happy with ubuntu on the terminal side of things, the scriptability, ease of use with remote servers, and default toolset are far beyond what I could imagine on windows. But still, it'd be nice to have a responsive gnome desktop. AIGLX does make things faster (must faster, even) but I don't like the way it changes the windowing behavior. I've tried just turning off all the effects but it's still flakey (title bar acting screwey when maximized, etc).

The idea of rolling my own kernel does seem interesting. And from what I understand, Ubuntu doesn't hack the kernel to get things like the boot-status screen working, which makes it easy to put in your own kernel without losing some 'schnazzy' features.
