linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi all! I just use The traditional VI (http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/) ex-050325.tar.bz2 as my editor. All things are going fine until yesterday. I found that 'vi myfile.txt' in command line (bash shell) can not display the first line of myfile.txt properly. The problem is that the first 20 characters (or so) of the first line do not show on my screen. So I can not edit them. All the other lines are fine. While 'cat myfile.txt' shows the content perfectly. Everything is fine if I issue 'vi myfile.txt' in an x-term (i.e. vi works pretty well within X Window) Any ideas to fix this problem? Thanks for your time!! (HowTos)

Newbie, no questions yet 3 years 14 weeks ago

Tired of not knowing anything except Windows. Bought a Dell mini with Ubuntu 8.04 installed on it and I'm working on learning Unix from the command line. This Forum ought to be helpful once I get a little further along.

l7-filter replacement 3 years 15 weeks ago

Does anybody know of any alternatives to l7-filter (http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net), the package isn't maintained any longer and I would like to find a suitable replacement.

replacing all matches in a line 3 years 15 weeks ago

I have .pgn file (chess) that I'd like to reformat.

I want to separate the line into one move per line from 1. e4 e6 2. d4 Qh4 3. Nc3 Bb4 etc to 1. e4 e6 2. d4 Qh4 3. Nc3 Bb4 etc

[\n\s]?[\d]+[.]\s\+ pretty much matches the pattern of the move numbers

Now cinecutie is registered on launchpad and on sourceforge. The reason of this choice is that the project now is a real fork and I need to use all free platforms I can. I'm not a Bazaar lover and so Sourceforge is used only as git repository, launchpad is used for bug tracking, features requests and, soon, as repository.

Case studies of open source success are always useful - especially when, like this one, they show how a UK government project that cost £100 million ($150 million) using traditional approaches but still didn't work properly, was fixed for just £35,000 ($53,000) using free software.

External Microphone not working 3 years 14 weeks ago

It's great to be a newby on this forum. I have been loving Ubuntu 9.10 and all was working fine until I tried to Skype. My Mic stopped working. I have tried all avenues. Sound prefs, input/output connections all I hear is static hiss.

How can I resolve the problem? I've even tried different mic's.

Please help.

Running Mandriva One 2010, wireless works great in Live mode. When installed, I can only connect to unsecured networks (BTFon, BTOpenzone) but not to my own BTHomeHub network, which has a WPA key. I guess the problem is something to do with wpa_supplicant, but I'm not 100% sure what to do about it.
