EDIT: any way to remove the old version before I install the new?
Depends on how you've installed it, if you've done it from source using setup.py, just blast out the oblogout folder from the python site-packages, oblogout from /usr/bin, and /etc/oblogout.conf
[Edit]
Yes, maybe a setup.py uninstall would be useful 
0.2 is actually released, hell is starting to freeze over 
Working on blueprints for 0.3, any suggestions welcome at Launchpad
For general speedups, a static compiled kernel without a initrd will shave off 10 seconds of any boot here. I'm sure i posted to a speedup thread somewhere a while ago.
[Edit]
For comparison, heres my Arch system's bootchart
where to find the X configuration? the xorg.conf is now "empty" only driver name, no screen resolutions, no keyboard/mouse settings - where are they now? randr?
If no xorg.conf is present in /etc/X11, then xorg autodetects using HAL. If you create a xorg.conf it'll mostly override the autodetection.
-to workaround some problem with my wifi card I need to run
sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54Mor set somewhere in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools
$IF_WIRELESS_RATEwhere is the best place for it? if in .config/options/autostart.sh it dont work because of sudo, and if I hardcode IF_WIRELESS_RATE in wireless-tools it dont work too.
As you said, /etc/network/if-pre-up.d is the best place to put it, that way when the device is suspended and disconnected it'll be reset when you or NM tries to bring the device back up.
Ahhh I wondered what the spike of traffic was about. Voted 
Looks like conky to me, it has a habit of ramming xorg with some of the more complicated setups. A few tweaks to the drawing settings in the .conkyrc might sort the issues.
I have a Huawei E160G on Three. Works flawlessly with Ubuntu/Debian without any extra configuration.
Mine is available on my git repo, nothing amazing, just a few simple aliases and scripts to save me time. Due to the number of systems I use my .bashrc on, i've got numerous entries that detect and enable features as required.
Nope, essentially you'll be replacing the very core of the system in the upgrade. As far as I know, no safe way exists to do it.
I run OS X on a PC platform (AMD, even) and it works just fine.
Indeed, as did I a while ago. But yes, the enitre topic is moot tbh
Thanks for the tips, We really need to get a forum 101 thread setup that can include the obvious stuff like this.
For #!, it would be unsafe to upgrade to 9.04 at the moment. #! includes a few custom packages which (to my knowledge) haven't been built for 9.04 yet.
If you want to risk it, update your sources.list and replace "intrepid" with "jaunty", apt-get update, then do a "aptitude upgrade". Aptitude has alot more error handling / dependency resolution than just apt-get.
dbus,hald,dhclient make a substantial foot print and r core components to X
my mouse and keyboard do not function without dbus,hald in X
You need to disable Xorg hotplugging support and then manually fill in your xorg.conf, then you can happly disable HAL/Dbus for this side of the functionality.
Scrap it all and use wpa_supplicant as your network manager. Debian do have some docs on it somewhere but it's been a while 
http://wiki.debian.org/WPA is a start
Next time you boot, what group is the /dev/sg device? It might be that you need to add your user to the "scanner" group.
Not really, if the modules are loaded and you don't have the devices then the codepath contained in them will never be executed. All that'll happen is you'll shave a few hundred K off your memory usage. The kernel only really loads modules if they're required, this is what udev manages in the background.
As for the scsi module, that has uses in many areas, esepcially if your using SATA drives. Bluetooth is probably being loaded by the bluetooth applications so nothing to worry about.
Thanks for the tip, I thought these issues had been resolved with the newer kernels, but I guess not.
Looking good
A better location would be
/etc/network/if-up.dThat way the code is executed when a network interface comes up.
Also, please note that this script has interfaces hardcoded, making reference to eth0 and eth1, these interfaces maybe different on your machine so please check and edit first before assuming that your covered.
Can you post your xorg.conf? The original bug reporter uses a 5200, i've got a 6800, maybe the newer cards use a different stack internally and are not affected.
I notice that total memory being used in top is about 200+ MB greater than what conky is showing, any reason for this?
Total memory and actual used memory are different figures. For example lets look at the "free" command:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1001 668 332 0 46 315
-/+ buffers/cache: 306 695
Swap: 2559 0 2559This shows i'm using 668Mb of RAM, when actually, that figure includes the "cached" section. The "cached" section is for memory that has been used to cache any files on disk, the second that any of this memory is needed it'll be cleaned and made available. So actual used memory by programs and applications is in the region of 340mb.
Could someone point me to a site, or just explain to me where Applications go when you use app-get, I get so lost in the filesystem and find it highly frustrating everything is not in some kind of system like Windows. To be honest, I figured Linux distros aimed at helping linux beginners such as Ubuntu or Mint or whatever, would have used a more direct and understandable file system for non-linuxians. Something I will have to learn. The whole file system is hella intimidating.
Oh yes, it can be confusing, but don't worry too much, the only areas you'll have to deal mostly with is your home directory. If you want to see where apps are installed to when using the apt-get command, just run this command:
dpkg -L <package name>This will show all the files installed for that package and their related locations
$ dpkg -L irssi
/.
/etc
/etc/irssi.conf
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/lib/perl5/Irssi.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/Irssi
/usr/lib/perl5/Irssi/TextUI.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/Irssi/UI.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/Irssi/Irc.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/auto
...Is there a way to change the colors of the GRUB ? I like matrix green. For that matter, is it possible to change the font color of the entire CB theme? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Changed Terminator, Conky and Tint2s colors to Green, just want sans-serif to match everywhere.
Yes, you can edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the settings. You'll see a option like the following:
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blueChange the colours as needed, but please TAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FILE FIRST, it could possibly turn your machine unbootable by editing this file. If that does happen (worse case senario) just boot a live CD, mount your existing HDD, and replace the current menu.lst with the backup version. I'm sure someone will help you if that happens
A guy has done a script that uses pyMetar to use NOAA data, he's since moved on to using weather.com xoap but the old version should work for you
This has a major blocker for anyone using the nvidia drivers.
I ahve 10 invites too, but they're outta beta!!! You don't need an invite no more =[
I think the UK and a few other countries dont need invites, but others do.
The apache tag requires recompiling and a patch to the package, imho, a little too much work for some slight advertising
