유부중년 개발자의 우울

모니, 빨대를 만나다! 많은 사람들의 지원 사격과 여차 저차한 삽질 끝에 MoniWikiBlog를 ?Straw에서 대충 보이도록 고쳤다. 호스팅 업체에서 빌드해놓은 ?PHP가 iconv없이 돌아가고 있던 탓에 소위 말하는 왕삽질의 연속... 새로 빌드 해야지 해야지하면서 ?귀차니즘에 사로잡혀 미루고 있던 것이 엉뚱하게 딴지를 걸 줄이야... :'( ?wkn님의 PlanetGnomeKorea도 대충 돌아가는 듯 하다. 어쩌면 순간의 유행일지도 모르지만, 얼굴도 모르는 여러 사람의 의견이 잠시라도 일치해서 무언가를 진행한다는 건 어찌보면 놀라운 일이다. 그나 저나, 이젠 정말 부지런히 써야겠군

Posted by travis@usermail.com on 2003-08-15 18:59:18 I like the ?LighthouseBlue theme colors, but wanted to use the Bluecurve theme instead, so I made a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file that looks like this: style "mydefault" { fg[NORMAL] = "#000000" fg[ACTIVE] = "#000000" fg[PRELIGHT] = "#000000" fg[SELECTED] = "#F5F5F5" fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#747474" bg[NORMAL] = "#EEEEE0" bg[ACTIVE] = "#CCCCC0" bg[PRELIGHT] = ..

Posted by simos74@gmx.net on 2003-08-15 15:03:44 ?MultiSync is a free modular program to synchronize calendars, addressbooks and other PIM data between programs on your computer and other computers, mobile devices, ?PDAs or cell phones. ?MultiSync works on any Gnome platform, such as Linux.'' Although I did not try it yet, it should be able to synchronise two Evolution installations. Thus, if yo..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-14 12:55:02 If you use a background image that has transparency (eg, a PNG or GIF file), then the background colour will show through the transparent areas of the image - this is fantastic for creating background images that are colour-independent. If the file has an alpha channel then the alpha channel works as well. There are a couple of backgrounds on ..

Posted by vms@mymail.ro on 2003-08-13 21:06:12 Here is a little BASH script that changes the GDM theme with a random one (of course with one from the /usr/share/gdm/themes - so you should keep only the themes you like). You can put it for example in /etc/cron.daily Enjoy (!! the last two lines are in fact a single one but ...) #!/bin/bash THEME_DIR=/usr/share/gdm/themes THEMES=`ls -1 "$THEME_DIR..

Posted by treed@surreality.us on 2003-08-02 00:00:00 I got bored the other day and wanted to see if I could set up a way to randomly change the background image in GNOME from a directory of jpg files. After a bit of experimentation, I came up with this: gconftool -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "`find "$BACKGROUND_DIR" -name \*.jpg | random | tail -n 1`" It recursively searc..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-01 00:00:00 Straw (http://www.nongnu.org/straw) is an excellent RSS aggregator for GNOME. RSS is a way of getting the headlines from news websites without having to open a browser and browsing to the site. Straw lets you subscribe to the news feed for a site, and then read the headlines straight from your desktop. To get Straw working on Red Hat takes a b..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-01 00:00:00 +(8)- If you've ever hand-written a desktop entry file, you'll know that each file contains an "icon=icon.png" line that specifies the image used. If you're writing a desktop entry file, you should try not to enter an absolute path for the icon. If you use just the base name of the icon (ie "gnome-gimp.png" instead of "/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-01 00:00:00 gconf-editor is a program designed to give the user access to the guts of the gconf database. gconf is a system for storing user preferences. All the data is stored in XML files in a directory called .gconf. If you've ever played with the Windows Registry, gconf-editor should be familiar. The window is broken into two panes - one contains a tr..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-01 00:00:00 By default, Nautilus uses a directory called .desktop in your home directory. But it can be very handy to have the desktop show your home directory (NB: it is expected that this will become the default in a future version). To set your home directory as the default, run gconf-editor and browse to /apps/nautilus/preferences. Click on the checkb..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-01 00:00:00 If you often switch between GNOME and another window manager, for example Blackbox, there's no obvious way to have a common background image that's used for both. However it's not hard to craft together some shell code using gconftool to get the filename of the current GNOME background. Then you can use bsetroot or xset to set your background ..

Posted by tzicatl@cuetzalan.com on 2003-08-08 18:42:48 +(3)- Well i don't remember where did I read this little hack, I guess it was on art.gnome.org Download a Splash image form art.gnome.org or even better, make your own:-D Open the gconf-editor modify the next key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image If it is not set, create it. Set it to the path where your splash screen is. e.g. : /home..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-07 00:00:00 This is a short Perl script that can be used to set the desktop background in Nautilus. To use it, paste the code into a file in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and make it executable. Make sure you have the Gtk2-Perl libraries installed: get them from CPAN or gtk2-perl.sf.net. #!/usr/bin/perl use Gtk2 -init; use File::Basename qw(basename); use st..

Posted by jan.moren@lucs.lu.se on 2003-08-06 00:00:00 It is quite possible to add your own shortcut keys to Metacity to run whatever commands you like. Let's assume we want Control-e to launch gedit for us. * Run gconf-editor (in rh9, at least, it is also available in the menu->System Tools->More System Tools->Configuration Editor). * Go to "Apps->Metacity->Keybinding Commands" Here we have a li..

Posted by jodrell@spod.uk.net on 2003-08-06 00:00:00 When Evolution shuts down it sometimes leaves a few daemons running in the background. If you're anal and want a nice clean "ps" output then you can kill these processes using killev. With the old Evolution 1.2 series, killev was placed in the path (eg /usr/local/bin/). For 1.4, it's now in $PREFIX/libexec/evolution/1.4/. killev is also useful..

Posted by mark@funkypenguin.net on 2003-08-04 00:00:00 This is probably commonly known, but IMHO it should be set in the preferred application menu in gnome (my gripe over with :)). Anyway, using Gnome-2.2.2, to enable Evolution (or you're favourite mail client when you click on a link in Mozilla*, Galeon, Epiphany), add the following protocol handler: Gnome menu | Applications | Desktop Prefere..

Posted by christian.kirbach.public@gmx.de on 2003-08-04 00:00:00 I've compiled a brief summary on how to have Earth rendered with realistic shadows (?XEarth) on your desktop. A small script does the trick, using gconf to set the background. http://stef.tvk.rwth-aachen.de/~nazgul/linux-hacks.php#xplanet-gnome2

Posted by erich@debian.org on 2003-08-03 00:00:00 Galeon contains a file called README.ExtraPrefs (Debian users: /usr/share/doc/galeon/README.ExtraPrefs.gz). This file contains a detailed listing of extra "hidden" preferences, such as behaviour on middle mouse button (gestures, scrolling, pasting...)

Posted by hh@heitech.no on 2003-08-02 00:00:00 A quite essential hack as this seems to be a frequently asked question. By default, Nautilus takes control over the desktop with icons and right-click-menus. Quite a lot of users don't like this, and used to disable this setting in the preferences with earlier versions of N. With Nautilus 2.2 this preference was removed from the gui. To disable this..

Posted by jan,moren@lucs.lu.se on 2003-08-02 00:00:00 Some people want to use a different window manager that the one that is used by default (usually Metacity). It is quite easy to switch, and there's even a couple of different ways to do it. First, you can always look up and change the key in gconf using gconf-editor (see the hack about using it), but for this particular task, there's an even ..

좀 쪽팔린 일이다. 개발 버전이 0.3.0에서 시작해서 0.4.9x에 이르고 있지만, 아직도 끝이 안보이고... ?RhythmBox 은 예나 지금이나 변함없이 죽어대고, 한글은 제대로 보이는 경우가 없고... ?XMMS은 로케일을 UTF-8로 바꾼 뒤로 더욱 취약해졌다. 결국, 태그 파서를 백포트하고, "전체" 연주목록을 제거해서 임시 변통하기로 했다.
