I have reproduced it on two systems, with different distributions and different 
browsers, but there is still some uncertainty since all my systems have similar 
configurations, so I can't rule out misconfiguration.

True, but that doesn't address the potential resource leak issue.  Moreover, 
since it appears in different browsers, and seems to affect kedit, it seems 
likely that the problem involves Gnome's clip board (which reminds me that I 
forgot to mention that I am using Gnome).

I have not had a chance to read the whole how to that you posted.  I can 
only say that when I set up my postfix and dovecot server that I 
followed these ubuntu docs:


https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix?highlight=%28postfix%29
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/email-services.html
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto

Yes yes I know everyone HATES ubuntu.  But in actuality, those ubuntu 
docs where just plagiarized straight from a debian help webpage (I can't 
remember which one) so it ain't that bad ;-)

Doug is absolutely correct.  Putting a 30MB file into the clipboard
is going to is a lot of resources.

Just a heads-up, that event number could easily change from boot to boot.
You can preserve your sanity by making a udev rule like the following and
put it (or a symlink) in "/etc/udev/rules.d/"



KERNEL=="event[0-9]", ATTRS{name}=="cx88 IR *", SYMLINK+="lirc%n"



I *think* that rule should work for you Hauppauge card, but I'm making an
educated guess on the 'ATTRS{name}=="cx88 IR *"' bit.



You can confirm/correct the rule by running the following as root:
  % udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/input/event1`
where event1 is the lirc dev you want.  Hopefully the appropriate match
rule is self-explanatory.  '*' behaves as a shell-like wildcard.

Just did a little test here, I made up a 30M file, loaded it up in firefox 
.. takes forever to load it and then a while to copy it. I tested this out 
on a debian system and on mac book (even tested out safari, which was even 
worse).  But I also ran the same open/copy/paste in gvim, that did it like 
a charm, system barely broke a sweat.

To add this space at multiple points in the filesystem:



  •   Use fdisk (or your favorite partitioner) to remove hda1
  
  •   Recreate hda1 as an extended partition
  
  •   Create as many logical partitions within the extended partition as you 
need
  
  •   Mount these logical partitions wherever you need them in the filesystem

Don't set the PATH this way. Specify the path list fully:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH JAVA_HOME

Find out your current PATH before and add :$JAVA_HOME/bin to the end of it.

Both my Sarge and Etch installations have /etc/environment. You might 
not be running Debian at all.

If it's obvious that /etc/environment is being ignored, you can place 
this line in ~/.bashrc

. /etc/environment

Or you can just place the PATH and JAVA_HOME adjustments directly into 
~/.bashrc.

I copy/pasted directly, and I don't think that it is a typo in the
source either. My guess is that Silan actually uses the name "Rsltek
8139D", obviously to confuse people and to trick them into buying this
card. Looking at the complaints on the web, I get the impression that
they are selling this card mainly in India; maybe the Indian trademark
laws allow them to ride on the coattails of Realtek like that. (In other
places they seem to use the more appropriate name "Silan Fast Ethernet
Netcard".)

Hey guys,

Trying to use mplayer to watch DVDs but it is quite slow. A lot of artifacts and buffering. Quite unwatchable. I have been tweaking a few settings here and there but I thought I'd ask from more experience users out there.

A few settings that I am using now,

 * -vo xv
 * -cache 8192

This is on a old PowerBook G4 500MHz PPC w/512MB RAM. I would think this should be fast enough to watch DVDs? Also, I am not running any other major applications in the background.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

All,

 Even if we solve this by going for an alternative approach as to using
a text based program, we still need a method by which we can run some
curses based application 
For this we can use "screen"  (man screen)
Open a new terminal and then run the program
After running this program, we can use cron to send 
***** kill -STOP <pid>
***** kill  -CONT <pid>
change (*****) with the cron timing which seuits you. This way we can
start and stop the program  at will.

Hi=20

I encounter a problem with my dell keyboard.
When I try getkeycodes I obtain :
0 is an error; for 1-88 (0x01-0x58) scancode equals keycode
KDGETKEYCODE: aucun peripherique de ce type
failed to get keycode for scancode 0x5a 0x58: 88 89

Thus when I try to switch to console screen and return to X I have a prob=
lem with X, the screen seems to be desynchronised.
