Today I had a problem installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 16 (CM16) with a portable screen 10 "because the operating system can not detect the resolution and that it should use. The image was so poor he could not even read the text presented.

To overcome the problem follow these steps:

     I called a TFT monitor to the laptop and carried out the installation as usual;
     Once installed the CM16, I had to make the resolution setting the screen, manually in xorg.conf file:
         vi / etc/X11/xorg.conf (if no, it is created);
          Paste the following information:

                  Section "Device"

                  Identifier "Video Device Configured"

                  Driver "OpenChrome"

                  option "PanelSize" "1024x600"

                  option "ForcePanel"

                  EndSection

         Restart.

This problem happened to me on a laptop (type NetPC) brand Elonex Webbook. This solution resulted in CM16, but probably also work on Debian based distros (Ubuntu, etc).

The subject today is again Dropbox. I've been just describing a problem I had with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) 64bit with this tool. The problem was that after the OS update,Dropbox longer boot!
To resolve, in my case resulted, can eliminate the Dropbox folder settings in your user,which should be / home /% user% /. dropbox.

rm-rf ~ /. .dropbox

After returning to run the Dropbox that will lead you to the setup wizard and here only have to look out at the stage where he can for you to choose the folder location"Dropbox. " If they choose the same location, is detected equal another folder, thenselect the option "Merge. "

They may know more about Dropbox here. or if they wish to install may do so by this hyperlink.

May eventually need to configure a network interface in a very quick but not permanently.To do so can use the ifconfig command as follows:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.200 netmask 255.255.255.0

If you do not know what is the interface or if you want to check if the configuration iscorrect, they can simply run ifconfig.

After configuring the IP is to configure the gateway (gateway). In this case we will do isadd a route to route network packets to the gateway:

route add default gw 192.168.10.254

If they install Dropbox on Debian Lenny, will probably have the following error:
"Dependency error: is not satisfiable libnautilus-extension1.
This problem can be overcome to install a recompilation Dropbox available in the following hyper-links:

nautilus-dropbox_0.6.1-1_amd64.deb

nautilus-dropbox_0.6.3_i386.deb 

They may know more about Dropbox here.

Today the Internet is a dangerous place for children! Leave a child alone in navigating the Internet is as dangerous as leaving a child alone in a very busy road traffic!Agree?!


Gnome Nanny is a project that lets you adjust when, where and how children can browse. This does not mean it is a check on the kids, like to think it is more a protection.


When - lets you adjust where you can surf heights;Where - to set / filter web pages that can refer;How - to adjust the duration that can surf the Internet;

If you have a PC or a server passing of the time with no activity on the disk, can save a little on the electricity bill if the halt. It's true that can make configuring power management on your desktop environments (KDE, Gnome, etc.) but what I present here is a simple and rapid method for manually configuring this mechanism, ie the operating system Bash.
The tool to use hdparm is used to but to suspend the operation of hard disks can also adjust parameters of cache, DMA, or even acoustic noise, among others.
- Installation: aptitude install hdparm  
- Suspend for 2 minutes: hdparm-S 24 /dev/ sda
- Check the condition of the disk: hdparm -C /dev/sda
- Configure the permanent suspension: vim /etc/hdparm.conf - And add at end of file the following code:  
/dev/sda {
       spindown_time = 24  
}  
- Then you just have to restart your PC, or the service - /etc/init.d/hdparm reload 

Note: the sda is the disk ID in Linux, in your case is hard to see that they have, they can do it as fdisk-l and then with the tool Partition Editor (GParted). If you have only one SATA disk to start is sda if hda is an IDE. If they are not much inside it, then I suggest you to search or ask here on the blog:)

It is unfortunate that the Playstation 3 does have the ability to read DivX with external subtitles, or captions to a text file. It's a clear choice from Sony, but fortunately there is no alternative.
I come therefore have a short tutorial that despite being targeted at Linux operating systems, it also serves for those using Windows or MAC. The tool I'm talking about is native to Windows, so to run on Linux, you must have Wine installed.

Requirements for Linux OS:
- Subtitles of the film format. Srt;
- Wine installed.

Tutorial:
1 - Download AVIddXSubs.zip;
2 - Unzip the downloaded file;
3 - In the uncompressed folder, run the AVIAddXSubs.exe;
4 - Place the folder containing the movie in the box - c: \ pasta_do_filme (see figure). Or you may specify that they intend to embed the movie subtitles - c: \ pasta_do_filme \ filmecaseiro.avi | c: \ pasta_do_filme \ filmecaseiro.srt. The pipe symbol (| <- this one) makes the division between the way the movie and the file path of legends.

5 - This small tool consists of two tabs of settings. Then I leave you a picture of the tab "Settings 1" already with some modifications. It is up to each experiment to obtain the desired result.

6 - Probably the PS3 will have to select the subtitles when they start playing the movie, for these are inserted through the codec, and is not always visible.
7 - Finally, if you have questions whistle: P, I mean comment, I try to respond.
