kmilo problem

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi all! Now it'me having an issue :) I use kmilo for the volume control on my thinkpads. But no matter what increment value I set in tdecontrol, the volume changes +- 10%. kmilodrc has "volumeStep=1" - but that value is ignored. Is there some other setting hidden somewhere for non-thinkpads that might interfer with kmilo?

An eMail solution

by Michael

So my friends, are you willing to spend ~$25 / year? No? Hit delete now... Yes? Then why put up with Google’s or any other web mail provider’s crap? Get a VPS: [1][2] $15-$20 / year Buy a domain: $8.56 / year (.com) $5.28 / year (.com.de) $4.28 / year (.top) $2.68 / year (.loan) * $2.68 / year (.men) * $2.68 / year (.party) * $2.68 / year (.stream) * $1.28 / year (.cyou) * * lol, make sure to buy 20 years upfront! !? There is no .woman? How sexist! Mail setup: Search Fu / Server Fault Use any Linux distribution you want, just make sure to add a root conrtab to auto-update nightly. As desired, I can share the bash script I use to setup an SSH tunnel to check mail with end to end encryption along with the KMail settings to support it.

An Entertaining Tale of Woe (and voodoo dolls)

by BorgLabs - Kate Draven

One is never to old to learn... Or screw up. Ok so I'm still playing about with the Ideapad Flex 4. I reinstalled Ali's Big Daddy PCLOS distro and all the billions of packages I usually install. Then me own home built apps and scripts for multimedia stuff. Everything works, except the webcam, mic and touchscreen. The touchscreen is not hi on me list so I let it go for another day. The cam and mic, however, I need to help guide me crakmonkeys through whatever itblows nightmare they're on at the moment. This is, of course, the problem is the mic and webcam. Then it's the phone... Well, no matter what I did, I couldn't get either to work. I net searched, I load and unloaded mods, but nothing. I had sound, so why not the mic. Eventually I gave up. Annoyed by this, I went and got the Ali voodoo doll I made. I was about to poke it's wee head with a large pin when I noticed the camera button on the keyboard. "Hmm" I thought and press func and the cam button. Well silly me, it was off, as was the mic. I stabbed voodoo Ali anyway, but only once and put him away. The lesson here is to familiarize oneself with the machine and check the on off switches.
