Hi I use Firefox 1.0.1 and whats makes me crazy is the fact, that it opens a new tab while clicking on the mouse wheel. Since this mouse is a devilsoft one, the click on the mouse wheel behaves too easy and when I read a text ion the net, I scroll using the wheel, and the browser opens a new tab, indicating an error message. That isn't funny anymore and begins really annoying. How can I turn off this behaviour? Al

ubuntu installation report

by Kymon MacDaire

greetings, i tried ubuntu (warty warthog), and got pleasantly surprised by the ease of installation. no problem with the usb mouse (unlike debian woody), nor with the network device (unlike debian sarge which got caught in a loop, detecting my network device over and over again) and no problem either with the dvi connection of the lcd monitor (unlike fedora core 3 which suddenly went black during install or even knoppix, which only worked in framebuffer mode). as ubuntu is based on debian, i really wonder why it didn't have the same problems during install, maybe because of different versions of the installer. if you have a slow internet access, the over 100 MB of updates it downloads after installation can be painful though. unlike suse 9.1, it didn't automatically mount the windows partitions that were on the same hd, but ubuntu did recognize my usb stick automatically, something suse failed at. from my personal experience, ubuntu has been the easiest distro to install i tried yet. if others had similar positive experiences with ubuntu, i guess it could be added to the list of recommended distros for linux newbies. best regards, kymon

fdups: calling for beta testers

by Patrick Useldinger

Hi all, my duplicate files detection script has come a long way. After extensive testing, I have today released version 0.08, together with a small documentation and a check program that will verify the results using good old trusted cmp. Maybe I should also add that it is the first version to produce entirely correct results ;-) I have only two machines to test on, and they are both similar. That is why I need beta testers who can give it a quick try and tell me whether it works correctly on their system. All other constructive criticism is welcome, and I have tried to include as much of Brent's request as currently possible. You can find "fdups"'s homepage at http://www.homepages.lu/pu/fdups.html, where you'll also find a link to download it. And if you have a look at the sourcecode, then maybe, you'll fall in love with this "strange" language, like I did some time ago. Thanks for your feedback, -pu

Fwd: DSL

by Alex

Hello Since a few days, I have problems with connecting to the internet. I use SuSE 9.2. When i do a ifup dsl0, the modem is going to negociate with the partner, then falling back to down: Error message: Authentication failed. I have to repeat the ifup thingie several times, after I am connected. My ISP is the luxemburgish P&T Sometimes, I have name resolution problems too, but they aren't as bad. Does anybody have similar problems?? Or an explanation for this "surnatural happening" :-) Thanks Al -- Beam me up, Scotty. There's no intelligent lifeform here!
