Text of the page (random words):
linux information linux information being a collection of papers tips and links akkana considers to be worth sharing with the world and i keep some of my configuration files on github online in case they re useful to anyone some of my linux related articles most of these are old there are a lot more recent articles on my blog shallow thoughts in particular if you only want the linux related articles use the linux tag an html and javascript based presentation system for giving talks linux for presentations howto how to use linux and free software to give talks instead of proprietary programs like powerpoint pulseaudio from the command line i also wrote a blog post on pulseaudio via gui pavucontrol linux imaging open formats a list of popular closed proprietary formats and open alternatives to them image formats for the web and elsewhere digital video formats debian notes for people migrating from redhat or other rpm based distros logitech remote presenter on linux tips on getting contributions accepted to open source projects screen blanking under x exorcising the evil alt screen using gimp s quickmask changing the console keymap some linux related presentations most of these recorded video and asked for slides but they re not always easily findable gimp demystified oscon 2008 portland gimp fu and you writing gimp scripts slides linux conf au 2008 melbourne gimp demystified scale 6x 2008 los angeles gimp uncovered understanding images and image editing linux conf au 2007 sydney bug fixing for everyone linuxchix miniconf linux conf au 2007 sydney mozilla tips and tricks presentation at penlug 2004 how to fix a bug even if you aren t a programmer presentation at penlug 2004 older articles likely out of date howto set up multiple network schemes on a linux laptop tips on wacom graphics tablets in linux tweaking bitmapped font sizes helpful if like me you want to set a minimum font size for web pages but can t find the right size fixed width font i wish i knew how to do this for truetype fonts gimp building tips particularly lists of packages you ll need to build various version of gimp on redhat 7 3 and debian woody linux on the mako revo psion agenda vr3 links how to get a modem and ppp working under redhat linux probably no longer needed palmos development on linux i also keep up with pilot link plucker and sitescooper and occasionally contribute linux on a vaio sr17k mini laptop including some stupid vaio tricks like how to train the jog dial to do lots of useful stuff redhat 7 1 7 2 tweaks redhat 7 0 tweaks articles by me on other sites gimp course a introduction to image editing using gimp in ten lessons offered via linuxchix this led to my current project a book on gimp for apress beginning programming in python another linuxchix course wireless on the road tips and tricks for finding wi fi access on your next road trip in linux journal anatomy of a kernel hack written for the linuxchix kernel hacking course this also shows some techniques for hacking unfamiliar code dissecting a live python script by carla schroder but i helped tina gasperson interviews me for newsforge quick tips fun or useful little hacks i ve discovered which aren t major enough to deserve a page of their own general for window managers which don t display background images like openbox or the debian builds of icewm good options are feh hsetroot or xsetbg part of the xloadimage package need to know who s using a file perhaps so you can eject a cd or rmmod a driver fuser pathname i can t believe i went this long without knowing about fuser if you ve been beating yourself up trying to get a parallel printer working check the bios and try ecp epp linux is pickier than windows about parallel port settings and newer linux versions are pickier than older ones sound if your distro doesn t remember your volume setting properly you can use aumix to set it at boot time or when you start up x for instance put a line like this in xinitrc aumix v 70 p 100 i recorded a sound that had dead space at the beginning and end and wanted to cut out the dead space i couldn t find a linux sound editor everybody points to snd but that s a huge bloated lisp driven package that requires installing a whole separate version of guile and i didn t want to deal with it i installed glame but it dumped core when i tried to edit a wav with it but i discovered that emacs works fine for editing sounds it was pretty obvious which part of the file was the dead space and which part was the real content so i just cut out most of the dead space parts and wrote the file no don t put a newline on the end play complained premature eof on wav input file i guess a wav must have something at the beginning saying how long it is but sox fil wav fil2 wav fixed that related to previous tip if you don t have a microphone you can plug headphones into the microphone port and talk into them mozilla you can go to a url in mozilla or netscape by selecting the url in any application then clicking the middle mouse in mozilla s main content area no need to go clear the urlbar first paste there and hit return the single middle click is much faster once you try it you ll wonder how you lived without it general browser tip not just for linux if you don t already know about browser bookmarklets they re pretty amazing here s some information about them but they re not just for the personal toolbar i don t even use one if you give a bookmark a keyword at least in mozilla you can then invoke that bookmarklet from the urlbar for instance i have a bookmarklet with keyword bug that goes to http bugzilla mozilla org show_bug cgi id s and if i type bug 12345 in the urlbar or paste it into browser content i get taken to that mozilla bug awesome to replace the mozilla splash screen with your own convert your splash to an xpm named splash xpm you can do this with the convert tool from imagemagick convert youricon jpg splash xpm then put splash xpm into mozilla s lib directory wherever mozilla keeps its plugins and chrome and so forth it may have to be a specific size shallow sky home akkana
