hi how about having more cubes to fly around in 3d space. though at first thought this might appear unessacary as who needs so many desktops? So i thought, why not have special cubes (as well as the original cube of course) and these special cubes, instead of cubes, be 3d metaphric objects for specific tasks such as a radio, or ipod or whatever for music a cinema for movies arcade thingo for

One of those games is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Using wine i'm trying to run gtasa from my windows partiton (yes it is NTFS filesystem) and it keeps telling me that it couldn't find the sound card. So can someone tell

At startup I get the following warning: "Warning: Fixing permissions of /var/dovecot to be world-readable." Q: Is this something that I can/should fix, or can it be safely ignored? Thnx, J

Do you have any suggestions on how to bypass this problem? Please respond ASAP. Thanks, Mario Di Giacomo

Dear r-sig Debian list, I subscribe to the 'r-help' forum but as requested on the "Download and Install" section of CRAN I am reporting a suspected bug on the " bin/linux/ubuntu dapper/" installation binaries, I show an extract from my Ubuntu(dapper) terminal console below---- # Attempted unsuccessful installation copy from terminal-- root at ubup:/etc/apt# sudo

Yes, you can: whenever you are unable to make a decent backup at least once a week, your diskspace must be considered to big.

Hello, I am new to Ubuntu (Linux in general) and I am trying to install R: so far, I am stuck. I have followed the instructions at the CRAN website with little luck. I read an exchange about the same issue posted before, but did not give me enough information to solve things by myself, hence, this email. Based on the former exchange I read, I am trying to include enough information to see if

I have Postfix/Dovecot with virtual domains, same setup unaltered since server was set up quite a while ago last month, added a new virtual domain, 'just like before'. but, today noticed this in the queue/log 'overdrawn his diskspace quota'[1]: user's Maildir cur has like 48,762,696 bytes (lot less than other users) tried some searches, found similar probs, but, no

I've probably done something dumb, but a quick search on Google, etc has turned up nothing I recognized as useful. I just installed dovecot on an OpenBSD 3.9 box. It is working fine with secure POP3 (after changing the config file to "mbox_write_locks = fcntl"). I also selected secure IMAP as a protocol, but it is proving to be more resistant to working. I am trying to connect

Hi, I have two guest vm instance running CentOS 5 with ext3 partition. I will like to reduce 1 VM harddisk space and using the 'release' harddisk space to add onto my second VM. Basically I need to know how can I reduce and increase an ext3 partition in CentOS KVM. I did a search and basically i can do it by booting the VM using Knoppix and use Gparted to reduce and increase the

Hi, I do a tgz-backup some maildir-folders with n*1000 off files and a lot of GB in storage. The backuped maildirs are removed after the tar. My assumption was, that the free diskspace should be bigger after that, but from what I get with df, it looks like I'm loosing space. Currently the tgz is saved on the same disk/mountpoint. Any hint, why removing the maildirs dont free diskspace as

Greetings folks, Since the sourceforge apt repository is woefully limited to just one distribution version, and because it is exceedingly slow and times out a lot, budgetdedicated.com has graciously donated us a blazing fast server to host the fresh Ubuntu packages. To use the APT repository, simply edit 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and then add the following lines, depending on

As far as I can see, transcoding could be usefull for people who do not primarly care about quality but about filesizes. One could assume that such a user would have a collection of mp3's at 128kbps or higher bitrates, and uses an encoder like BladeEnc or Xing. He wants to take uses of ogg's supposed quality and transcode his 128-or-higher files into 96 or 112kbps oggs to save diskspace.

Hi, As per subject, is there a way to reduce diskspace for a VM. I have a VM with 200GB but would like to reduce the diskspace to 100GB. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi all, Daniele Favara was kind enough to package Xapian (and Pinot :-) for Dapper and Xubuntu. I understand Daniele used cdbs to build these packages. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/cdbs I am not sure if the differences with the official packages built for Debian and Breezy are significant... Anyway, if you would like to give them a go, add the following to your sources.list : deb

I've just come across a problem that had me baffled for a bit. We supply students with diskspace via a Solaris machine running Samba (2.0.6). Yesterday, I got a report that a couple of students could not access their diskspace, although at login time the drive was getting mapped. The problem was that if they tried to view the contents of the directory (explorer or dir) the process would
