Okay, so because in the manual there's one command missing, so in every link from the first page of results in Google it's missing as well, so here's the way to start the gimp with another language, type in the command line :env LANG=en gimpThis time it really works.

Hey guys, ( and girls.. oh well, probably not )I'm "working" on a forum to host the Usenet Binaries with Linux FAQ, so that people can post question and stuff, make it a little more interactive you know. I think it deserves its own page and forum.It's been a while since I updated the FAQ so the new stuff will be added on the forum.The address is altbin.netFeel free to join and post about whatever

nvidia graphic card : easy ( In Ubuntu : System Settings, Advanced, Restricted Drivers, etc )Intel Wifi IW 4965:The drivers work on the fly in Kubuntu/Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, but if you use the default config with "network manager", it can't connect to your DHCP server, and forget about WEP or WPA too..So yeah, just get rid of network-manager and install wicd :sudo apt-get remove network-managersudo

If like me, you regularly scan the eDonkey network for new files about a specific subject, you probably downloaded the same files over and over again after all the settings were lost. Well, it's over now, there's a file "known.met" that stores all the filenames that were already downloaded so you can put your old file in the new .aMule directory after you installed a new fresh distro.

Do NOT use newsguy.com, it's a scam. You can't cancel at any time, there's nothing in the interface to cancel and they will not answer your messages.Avoid this company.

Wow, if I break my Samsung E720 cellphone, I hope they will document this baby :"CMOS Camera Module - 640x480 Price: $19.95 This is a 640x480 pixel resolution CMOS camera used in the Samsung E700 cellular phone.

$ echo *.par2or to get one filename per line :$ for i in *.par2; do echo $i; doneSo to mass-repair everything in a directory simply type :$ for i in *.par2; do par2repair $i; doneEDIT : only works if the extension in "vol**+**.PAR2" is capitalized :-(

This is a scoring script that I use on some huge groups like alt.binaries.multimedia or alt.binaries.tv and it's much quicker than using the interface. Pan is compatible with the PCRE "Perl Compatible Regular Expressions".Quick example :$ score dead.like.meADDED :[^alt\.binaries\.multimedia|alt\.binaries\.tv$]Score: =-9999Subject: dead.like.me.S\d\dE\d\d|dead.like.me.\dx\d\d|dead.like.me.\d\d\

It works ! Almost.I first bought a random USB Bluetooth dongle called Trendnet TBW-101UB.

In the Linux world, people usually just mount their ISO images by typing as root :$ mkdir /mnt/isotmp$ mount isofile.iso /mnt/isotmp -o loopAnd once they're done, unmount the virtual disk :$ umount /mnt/isotmpThis can be very annoying.UNISOHere's another solution. This is a script in Perl that I found somewhere.It uses isofile from the cdrecord-isotools package to extract the ISO file and you
