This is going to be a bit off the wall as I doubt many people are using a VM in quite the same manner as I am in this case. I have a new scanner at home, a Mustek A3USB 1200 Pro, which requires a vendor supplied version of libsane to run. That is a pain in the behind just to start with. To use that scanner requires a 32b machine with sufficiently old versions of various libraries. My primary

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wine1.3/ I recently tried to install the Latest .29 WINE from the PPA and it ended up using the .15 version from the official Ubuntu 11.10 Repository instead. Although it doesn't matter for .29 (as it has a bug that has since been fixed), I would like to know if we'll be expecting a package on the PPA for the next version, I

Hi, I have sent this mail to info@puppetlabs.com and received no answer, so I''m posting here as well; I hope somebody at PuppetLabs will be able to help. I have a local mirror of apt.puppetlabs.com which has been broken for at least a few days: the apt/dists/ subdirectory only contains symlinks to non-existent files.

Hello! Today I downgraded from Ubuntu''s APT repo "oneiric-proposed" (which brings some kernel 3.0.0-13) back to the standard repo "oneiric".

This is a post I just added to my Ubuntu R Blog (http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/blogs/the_ubuntu_r_blog/2013/03/moving-to-r-300-on-ubuntu.html). As you may (or may not) be aware of, R 3.0.0 is [scheduled to be released](http://www.r-project.org/) on April 3rd. Since this is a major release and there may be some growing pains (but I hope not) in the move 3.0.0, here is some information

Is there an analogue of common lisp "*" variable which contains the value of the last expression? E.g., in lisp: > (+ 1 2) 3 > * 3 I wish I could recover the value of the last expression without re-evaluating it. thanks -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) X 11.0.11004000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://camera.org http://ffii.org

Hi there, I'm running Wine 1.3.28 on Ubuntu Oneiric and I cannot manage to get aok installed. The installation routinely freezes immediately after the program starts to copy the first file, the message that pops up says there isn't enough space on disk (clearly a false statement) or that the folder is being used by some other program (which one?). Thanks for your help.

I use a virtual machine for a scanner I have for which the vendor never updated their driver. I have accessed it for years using a pass through: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x055f'/> <product id='0x040b'/> </source> </hostdev> I

Hi, I''m new to Xen, and I just installed Xen 4.1 on 64-bit Ubuntu Server 11.10. I''ve confirmed I''m booting into the Xen kernel. Now I''m trying to create guests for 64-bit and 32-bit Ubuntu Desktop 11.10. I''ve downloaded the ISOs, and while I''ve been reading through the docs, several things are unclear to me. First, there seems to be two

Hello everybody! Currently, dovecot just kills itself if it detects that time has moved backwards more than a hardcoded number of seconds. I accept the reasons, but I do not like to restart dovecot manually after waiting for time to move forward again. A cron job would not help, because time might still be wrong when it restarts dovecot. All our systems run ntpd, but they might be offline

Hi list, I have a problem with Mongrel which is really bugging me. I would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide to help me in solving this problem. 1.

Suppose I have a vector of strings: c("A1B2","A3C4","B5","C6A7B8") [1] "A1B2" "A3C4" "B5" "C6A7B8" where each string is a sequence of <column><value> pairs (fixed width, in this example both value and name are 1 character, in reality the column name is 6 chars and value is 2 digits). I need to

Dear List, i was running a few natty systems and upgraded one of them to oneiric. Facter shows the right lsbdistcodename, lsbdistrelease, etc. parameters, but when i''m running puppet agent the modules has access to the previous (natty, etc.) values. As i see on puppetmaster in /var/ lib/puppet/yaml/{facts,node} the output from facter and the agent is cached and won''t update

Hi Local root, who is not a domain administrator, can modify the ldb's. No ticket required. Is my installation correct? Cheers, Steve Ubuntu oneiric, 4.0.0alpha18-GIT-567f05e

So last night I try to start L4D2 (which previously worked), and am seeing this dreaded message as the first in the console: Code: err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems This is happening both with the latest Wine from git and from the prebuilt 1.3 package in the Oneiric repos. It was all working fine when I last tested (using my git build) a

When a window or a dialog of an application opens, it is automatically positioned somewhere on the screen (for example somewhere in the center). In current Wine and Ubuntu Oneiric (I can't tell for other distributions), child windows of automatically positioned windows appear offset, often at [0,0] in the top left corner of the screen. This is not too much annoying for tool windows, but it is
