Are your Vim / Vi arrow keys making A,C, B etc characters instead of moving around in insert (’i') mode ?
Try typing this … it fixes it for me:
:set nocompatible
Or, add the line:
set nocompatible
to your ~/.vimrc file.
Here’s a tip for using Miro (formerly Democracy Player), the kick-ass TV-on-your-computer video playing software.
If you want to subscribe to the videos of a particular user on YouTube, you can get an RSS feed of those videos by adding a channel like this to Miro:
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/[insert username here]/videos.rss
You can also get RSS feeds for all videos with a particular tag, like:
http://www.youtube.com/rss/tag/linux.rss
Where in this case, the tag you are interested in is ‘linux’.
I discovered this when trying to figure out to subscribe to somecallmejim’s “Edit” video editing tips videos. He’s been offline for a few months now … hope his problems pass over and he comes back.
I recently upgraded from Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 to Gutsy 7.10.
The upgrade went reasonably well with no serious breakage worth mentioning … except my FAT formatted USB key would no longer mount. It kept giving an error about not liking the mount option usefree.
Here is the fix, from the Ubuntu forums:
Go into gconf-editor and navigate to /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options
Remove the “usefree” option from the list.
Exit gconf-editor, and try hotplugging your drive again.
Your USB key should mount as expected now.
Cheers to Dan Lenski and Dow Franklin Dudley for providing this fix !
Hey, just found this new hardware compatibility database for Linux. It’s still fairly young, but already has lots of data about hardware compatibility, including distro specific info.
Worth watching & checking before buying new hardware.
