<title>Linux Mint 8 (Helena) RC1 available for download</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23340963</link>
<description><![CDATA[I hope Linux Mint 8 will deal with the new upstream GNOME and Grub 2 with more "elegance" than Ubuntu Karmic. We might as well see for ourselves!

Here is the announcement by clem: http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=1106

Here is a link to the .torrent file: http://www.linuxmint.com/torrent/LinuxMint-8-RC1.iso.torrent

This is the one I've been really anticipating, even before Ubuntu Karmic was released. It's all about presentation, and so far I've found Linux Mint 7 to be the best Linux distro to convert / impress Window users. Let's see if Linux Mint 8 can take its place...]]></description>

<title>Making a bootable Windows disk with Ubuntu</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23402540</link>
<description><![CDATA[On a Windows machine I'm fixing for someone, it boots halfway and winds up rebooting on the file mup.sys. I put in an Ubuntu disk and it warned be the hard drive was failing and there are many bad sectors. The drive was still accessible in Ubuntu so I backed up the client's important data.

What I would like to do is take the still-accessible Windows partition and use a program in Ubuntu (or Terminal commands if not too daunting) and make a Windows disk I can install to a new hard drive when I put one in. I doubt the client wants to purchase Windows XP all over again and put his data back.

Is there any way to do this?

<title>Xfce - preserving `all desktops&#x27; settings &#x26;amp;&#x26;amp; and subwindows?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23400032</link>
<description><![CDATA[Howdy,

It seems when I set an application's attribute to be `all desktops', it's not preserved across reboots.  Is there a hidden parameter to ensure the setting is preserved?

Also, KDE 3.x `knotes' creates subwindows for each `post-it' note.  I'd like to ensure each post-it inherits the parent's `all desktops' settings.  On KDE 3.X, this was possible (haven't dinked around with KDE 4.x .. yet.

Cheers,
-pablo

<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, I'm new to this particular forum room, and could use some help helping a friend with a particular webpages functionality on Ubuntu 9.1 Karmic Koala.

The website is http://www.voxli.com

Would anybody be able to hold my hand and explain how to get it working if it is even possible?

Please and thank you.

<title>Microsoft Patents Sudo&#x27;s Behavior</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23328105</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is going to cause an uproar...

http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20091111094923390

Lordy, lordy, lordy. They have no shame. It appears that Microsoft has just patented sudo, a personalized version of it.

<title>Ext. LCD pannel: No Xwindows...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23384048</link>
<description><![CDATA[Had this working once before, but I don't know what I did..  I've got Fedora9, and the version of Xorg that comes with it.  I have the Radeon driver installed for the Radeon Mobility X1400 chipset.  The laptop & its built-in display work just fine.

If I boot the laptop with no DVI or VGA cable attached, Xwindows will come up on the built-in display just fine.  However, if I boot the laptop with my LCD pannel attached via DVI, and I issue "startx" from runlevel3, then I expect either the laptop display, or the LCD display to light up.  However, nothing occurs; all displays go dark.  When Xwindows starts normally, the HD churns a bit, as it normally does.  However when both displays go dark, then the HD doesn' t do any churning, as if an error happens early on in the xwindows startup.  Below, is my xorg.conf file.  Attached is the xorg logfile from /var/log.
