Hi, da leider das “Good Morning DE” Theme die Quoting-Tags nicht so toll gemacht hat, habe ich jetzt auf das (auch) freundlicher wirkende “Atahualpa” Design umgeschwenkt. Hier nochmal das alte Design fürs Protokoll: Thema bis September 08 Ich hoffe es gefällt :-) Tschau Sven

Hi there, I’m using the ftplugin to switch highlighting, indentation and some other filetype specific settings. Today I just wanted to get rid of the autoindentation feature for HTML files. Simply putting the following lines in the html specific file didn’t work, because VIM reset the “indentexpr” variable back to default: setlocal nocindent setlocal noautoindent setlocal nosmartindent setlocal indentexpr= So I googled around and found some other lines: filetype indent off filetype plugin indent off After adding these also to the html-file it worked.

Hello, I didn’t thought it was so easy to install Windows on a pure Linux box. Just get something like the SystemRescueCD with gparted on it, resize Linux, leave some place for a boot partition (grub) and create a new partition for Windows. My layout looked like: 1GB grub + kernel 20GB Windows 130GB Linux Two problems occured during the flight… because I used gparted to format the Grub partition and the Windows partition.

Hi there… Situation: You have a computer which you want to connect to your already existing network infrastructure. Problem: You don’t have any switch or hub available only a network card and an already connected computer. Solution: Use bridging. Its just two clicks away… ok, not really - I don’t like clicking over ssh ;-) So what I’ll tell you now is what I’ve learned from: http://www.barmasse.org/linux/praxishilfe/ubuntu/virtualbox.html and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132515 (post from user “woedend”).

Hi, here is a walkthrough to set up a NIS server under Ubuntu Hardy, because the standard configuration is only for clients. apt-get install nis NIS domain: _be creative_ :-) Then wait till the ypbind search is over (it tries very hard to find a server…) otherwise the package is not completely installed. In the mean time, you can prepare the server. /etc/yp.conf ypserver 127.0.0.1 /etc/default/nis NISSERVER = master NISCLIENT = false /etc/ypserv.

Hi, today I tried to do some online banking at www.sparkasse-zwickau.de. To my suprise, I took a very long time till the welcome page was loaded. I checked this again with another browser: same problem. Than I tried a host outside the university… wow, it goes very fast. Hmm, and another host inside? Also fast. So I’d check the installed windows and it also worked perfectly. I googled a bit and found that the problem is my network interface which is handled by the e1000 driver.

Hi there, long time ago I wrote an article how to make the DCP-110C running under Ubuntu Feisty. One commenter wrote me, that he got it also to run with Gutsy and Hardy. Now the time has come and some things are easier :) Since Hardy (I think) the cups-packages for the DCPs are now included in the package repository. You have to enable the multiverse repo to get it.

Herzlich Willkommen auf meinen eigenen Blogseiten :-) Ich werde nach und nach die Artikel von http://domrand.livejournal.com migrieren und dann nur noch diesen Blog hier weiterführen. Bis dahin verweise ich erstmal auf den “alten” Blog ;-) Tschau Sven

Hi, it’s now possible to remove a big part of evolution in hardy, because ubuntu-desktop does now only recommends some evolution packages. You can easily remove them by: sudo apt-get --purge remove evolution evolution-exchange evolution-plugins evolution-common evolution-webcal Only the following packages will stay: evolution-data-server, evolution-data-server-common Bye, Sven

Hi, if evince won’t print after the Hardy update, you can try the following steps which worked for me. Close all evince windows (pkill evince) and perform the following commands: rm -rf ./.gnome2/evince rm -f ./.gnome2/accels/evince sudo apt-get --purge remove evince (which will also remove ubuntu-desktop metapackage) sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (which will also add evince ;-) ) After that, printing should work again. Maybe some steps are not necessary… find it out for yourself :-)
