X11

IrDA

coLinux

Scanning

• Kooka does not recognize usb scanner

 Change the group ownership of the correct file below /proc
 (e.g. /proc/bus/usb/002/003) to scanner and assign users allowed to use the scanner 
 to group scanner. Add write permission to the file.

KDE

ksysguard

After some dist-upgrade of Debian testing, the ksysguard applet did not function anymore; it always displayed a dialog box with some strange remote-connection-selection mechanism after login. Solution: use the "custom command" selection and simply enter "ksysguardd".

tora

To build tora 1.3.18 with Oracle 10g support, configure as follows:

$ ./configure --with-oci-version=10G --with-kde=no

Note: The kde specific bug is fixed in the latest debian source package. It is therefore sufficient to remove the "--without-oracle" in debian/rules.

Linux Kernel

Boot Process

How a linux system typically boots up.

Hardware detection
