Linux and USB cellular internet access?
Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:48:18 +0100
Has anyone had any joy getting a linux box to work with any of the
current 3G provider's USB mobile internet devices?
Any particular devices that just work with something like Fedora 11 'out
of the box'?

ssh problem - Bind: address already in use
29 Jul 2009 11:18:25 GMT
I'm trying to set up ssh to a remote machine with:
ssh -f -L 6000:localhost:4499 campbell@91.204.208.39 -N
This works on two machines without problems. On the third (sod's law -
the one I really want to use), when I type the password I get:

Hi,
Does anyone know of a newsgroup which specifically deals with Linux
and amateur radio, or should I just post here?
Thanks!

Linux as a media centre
Sun, 19 Jul 2009 17:10:22 +0100
I was thinking of getting a Squeezebox and NAS for sound streaming, but
now wondering whether it is such a good idea.
I currently have a DVD player that I also use to play music. I don't
have a surround system (yet), neither does my TV accept anything other
than SCART or S-VHS.
I have a laptop running Ubun ...

Emulating middle mouse button with keyboard
Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:07:52 +0100
I want to emulate middle mouse button clicks with a spare key on my
keyboard. I used to do it with one of my old laptops but I can't
remember how. I can't find anything useful on Google; the only thing
that looked like what I wanted was xrebind, but that didn't work for me.

BBC iPlayer - Jumpy Graphics
12 Jul 2009 12:34:10 GMT
Hello All
I am using BBC iPlayer on Debian Lenny. It works, including subtitles.
However, the video display is slow and jumpy. I think this is due to CPU
overload, rather than to a network problem (I get download speeds
consistently up to 10 megabits per second on tests, but the usage made by
iPlayer is m ...

Mouse button 4 problem on moving from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04
09 Jul 2009 10:22:31 GMT
I have a Logitech mouse with four buttons, buttons 1 to 3 do the
conventional things but I had programmed button 4 to emulate a double
click of button 1 under Ubuntu 8.10 (well, xubuntu 8.10 actually but
near enough). I did it using the description at:-

OT: Backup software (and scheme, easily verifiable) for MS-Windows
Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:59:28 +0100
I have the feeling that I'll get a more usable reply from this n.g. than
from a Windows specific one (and one that I may be able to understand).
Wanted: suggestion of backup software (and hardware?) and an easily
verifiable scheme for naive Windows users.
Incidentally, I'm a Linux user and anything data-like ...
