Re: konqueror in KDE

augh yes...Krusader is a magnificent file manager, Years ago when I used windows, (remember C: win?) there was a file manager like krusader then. It was love at first sight. I was hoping though that the latest KDE Desktop would be somewhat tuned into all the bells and whistles that browsers have, af...

How do I mount a camera?

I have a Samsung telephone with a camera on it. I have a cord that plugs into the camera and a usb port.

Like plugging in a usb stick, it should show up on the desktop where the pictures can be retrieved.

Is there a program that needs to be installed?

I tried f-spot but it cannot detect the camera.

srm, sfill and stuff like that

So I'm trying everything in Linux and I have some questions about sfill. It is part of the srm tool kit. sfill rewrites all the areas that are not being used on a hard drive and places zeros in those areas so that whatever was previously written in that area could not be accessed by anything :D .......

Re: upgrade from 2.6.27-7 generic to server 2.6.27-9

Felicia 2.6.27-7 Generic I haven't been using Mint for a little while because Firefox keeps locking up and I've never found a solution, so I did the above thinking maybe a fix would be there. The update also installed 'server 2.6.27-7.' Yes, I can still get to 2.6.27-7 generic so nothing is lost. I'...

upgrade from 2.6.27-7 generic to server 2.6.27-9

Lets see, I haven't used Mint in a little while so I opened a terminal...

sudo apt-get update

then...

sudo apt-get upgrade

suddenly I have version 2.6.27-9-server without any bells and whistles such as nvidia modules and the like.

what went wrong here?
