change language gimp Linux THIS ONE WORKS

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 gimp


This time it really works.

Launching a forum about usenet binaries, linux etc

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.net

Feel free to join and post about whatever subject you might find relevant. Or if you wanna add comments about the FAQ, now would be a perfect time.

WiFi Laptop Asus Z53Sseries = 100% Linux compatible

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-manager

sudo kate /etc/network/interfaces
or :
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

get rid of anything but :

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

now install wicd

sudo apt-get install wicd

that's it, wicd works with encryption too
