rename doesn't?
|
| |
Recently somebody suggested 'rename' as a solution to something I forgot, but after a couple tries 'rename' to remove "_01" from 234 filenames, I resorted to simple CLI stuff:
$ ls > file
$ gawk '/JPG/{inp=$0;sub(/_01/,"");pr int "mv " inp " " $0}' file>file2
$ head -3 file2
mv DSC_6047_01.JPG DSC_6047.JPG... more »

I'm trying to install this printer with very limited success. I have
downloaded cndrvcups -common-2.40-2.i386.rpm and cndrvcups-ufr2-
uk-2.40-2.i386.rpm from the Canon website, converted to .tgz with
rpm2tgz and installed them with installpkg. I then installed the

Background: I've got a machine with mucked up dual boot from attempting to get full install on a USB from a Ubuntu 10.10 live cd. GRUB2 ended up on my hard drive, all else on USB stick. Got confusing and confused(responder didn't pay attention to differences between Legacy Grub and Grub2) responses on their forum to either removing Grub or forcing... more »

Slackware Admiration

I saw the following message on a newsgroup that appears to be made up of
e-mails to a FreeBSD mailing list. It seems even some FreeBSD users
have good things to say about our favorite distro.

Slackware 13.37: white stripes on the windows
|
| |
Hello everyone.
I just installed linux slackware 13.37 but x window does not work
properly.
It is slow to react to commands, but the most annoying thing is that
any open window appears graphically incomplete, including the
menu that appears when you click the right mouse button, and also
that of the K button at the bottom left of the screen.... more »

ARMed Slack and the upcoming Raspberry Pi

The capabilities of the credit card size boards seem exciting. The price point for this computer could be another step to put computers into even more devices and and applications.

Device Permissions: Group Membership
|
| |
I just noticed that on version 13.37 of Slackware the individual user
doesn't have to be a member of the audio group to use the sound devices.
The same goes for the user not having to be a member of the video group
to use webcams, etc. In a way it makes more sense for the user to have
to be given explicit permission. What changed that makes it possible... more »
