[QUOTE=Van-man;36386126]As others have asked: did you remember to enable [I]USB file transfer[/I] on the phone?[/QUOTE] I believe so. I have it set to Mass storage under USB settings. Also its not the cord because it worked on windows 7 32 Bit
[QUOTE=Van-man;36383808]Add the command that you'd use to launch Conky from the console.[/QUOTE] And customizing conky?
[QUOTE=Moofy;36386820]And customizing conky?[/QUOTE] fuck I dunno, never touched Conky. Should be a few guides on the internet though.
~/.conkyrc I think
Anyone having any problems connecting a smart phone thru usb to linux?
[QUOTE=FlamingSpaz;36387516]~/.conkyrc I think[/QUOTE] Yes but it's a lot f text setup, which can be difficult. So I am asking for maybe a guide? Still searching myself.
[QUOTE=sarge997;36388047]Anyone having any problems connecting a smart phone thru usb to linux?[/QUOTE] Is your phone set up to allow accessing it like a normal drive via USB?
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;36388387]Is your phone set up to allow accessing it like a normal drive via USB?[/QUOTE] I believe so. How would i check?

[QUOTE=sarge997;36388432]I believe so. How would i check?[/QUOTE] All I know is that it's somewhere in the phone's settings.

Speaking of difficult configuration, does anyone have any experience with dvtm? Specifically with creating custom fifo status-bar configs? I make the fifo with mkfifo, but I can't edit it with vim or nano because it treats it like a pipe (go figure :v:)
Okay, got wifi and gentoo working and got chromium (TOOK FOREVER) and openbox. Recommendations for a good terminal emulator, file managers, panels, docks, etc?
[QUOTE=neos300;36391132]Okay, got wifi and gentoo working and got chromium (TOOK FOREVER) and openbox. Recommendations for a good terminal emulator, file managers, panels, docks, etc?[/QUOTE] Thunar for file manager and tint2 for panel. They're small and don't have a lot of dependencies.
[QUOTE=sarge997;36388047]Anyone having any problems connecting a smart phone thru usb to linux?[/QUOTE] If you're using arch linux, install gvfs and most of its optional dependencies. Ensure it's working with proper consolekit session and a dbus-launched dbus. From there whenever I plugged in a storage device (obscure video cameras, android phones, usb keys) it just popped right up in my file manager. If you add me on steam i'll help you get it working. I struggled real hard to get mine to work.
I am currently using red hat enterprise linux 5 in a virtual machine on a laptop running windows 7. what do i need to do / what settings do i have to configure in order to allow linux to sense there is a thumb drive connected and mount/open it? do i have to buy a thumbdrive whose filesystem is fat32? or do i have to tick/enable specific settings when i am installing/setting up linux? my intention is to copy shell scripts from terminal into the thumbdrive to transfer over to my friend's computer. thanks a lot.
Theoretically, if things were compiled/installed while using a corrupted BIOS, could it affect the performance of that program (computer freeze + hang)? And if it can, could it continue to affect the performance in the same way even after the BIOS is fixed?
Tint2 is nice, but is there a way I can use it as a dock? Failing that, can anyone recommend a dock for openbox? [editline]19th June 2012[/editline] Clarification: When I saw dock I mean an application launcher, like on macs. [editline]19th June 2012[/editline] Eh. I'm not really liking gentoo. The customization is great and all, and it was a good learning experience, but I'm going back to arch. Compiling everything from source is really slow, and portage is also just generally slow.
So I made a session application start up with XFCE for Conky. Right, command is just "Conky". It boots perfectly, but not really. When I boot it flashes the default wallpaper for a second and Conky launches, then it changes to my personal wallpaper and Conky dissapears?

"sleep 5 && " or something like that. Or wrap up a launcher for conky with a delay into a [I].sh[/I] script that's set to be executed by XFCE's autostart manager.

Or are you sure that the [B]sleep 5&&[/B] is there one I should use? So: "[B]Conky sleep 5&&[/B]"?

The USB drive should be detected on its own. [editline]19th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Moofy;36399336]Uhm, yea sorry I don't get any of that, how do I add a delay launcher?

So: "[B]Conky sleep 5&&[/B]"?[/QUOTE] Create a .sh file (name it [I]conky_launcher.sh[/I] to avoid confusion, and avoid using a conventional space in the name). Open that file with the simple text editor of your choice (Leafpad, Mousepad, Gedit, ect ect). Insert the following text into the file. [CODE] #!/bin/bash sleep 5 conky [/CODE] Move the file to somewhere you wont see in on daily basis and doesn't have a conventional space in the path. Now make the file read-only but executable. Instead of setting the xfce autolauncher manager to launch Conky directly, you set it to launch that [I][I].sh[/I][/I] script, remember to include the full path for the script's location. If you want to change the delay from 5 seconds to less or more, just edit the file and replace the number after [I]sleep[/I] with whatever amount of seconds you want.
I'm using an Arch Linux computer, and I've got virt-manager and libvirt installed. I'm trying to SSH into another Arch Linux, but this one is running inside the libvirt virtual machine. How do I go about this? I've looked at some of the documentation, but the sockets and everything I tried, including adding myself to a "libvirt" group, didn't really fix anything. Any takers?
Thank you Linux community!
I love the entire Linux filesystem, the procfs, the API and all that usefull jizz it has, it's incredibly dynamic that I can do whatever the fuck I want with the system. Now I have found autotools and libtool and oh god the potential in it is just pure awesomeness, it's the ultimate software development environment! I want to start making little GUI programs but I want to know which GUI toolkit would be ideal for me, so the choice is yours: - rate Artistic for GTK 3 - Useful for Qt - Funny for FLTK - Late for XLib

bluebird with faenza = true love. That shit looks beautiful! Can't believe my friends says ew every time they hear Linux. Just look this, it's.. Beautiful<3

I haven't used but that should be common for most virtual machines.[/QUOTE] As I wrote, I've already set up the socket thing to work just fine, but I cannot figure out how to enable SSH access. Doing [code] virsh -c qemu:///system [/code] Works just fine, but that doesn't grant me SSH access to the virtual machine itself, only simple shell access to control the virtual machine manager.
So i got the zegoe conky theme and used the cody for my .conkyrc. I need to install some fonts which should be located at ~/.fonts. But that folder isn't there after i press CTRL+H? [editline]20th June 2012[/editline] I have no idea on how to install themes for conky, been searchig all around.
