May 19	comment	Lock screen after blanking with gnome-screensaver and XFCE Rereading your question, I realize this probably doesn't answer your question as it works from command line only.
May 19	comment	Lock screen after blanking with gnome-screensaver and XFCE I am unfamiliar with xfce, but does `qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock` work (kde version)? on Gnome you use `qdbus org.gnome.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock`. You may have to type `qdbus \| grep -i screensaver` to find your specific variation.
Mar 17	comment	A clever way to defragment a FAT filesystem? You can check the result before changing the content of the flash drive.

Mar 16	comment	A clever way to defragment a FAT filesystem? I would go for your first option if space isn't an issue. I would create a clean filesystem in a large file that is loop-mounted. That way you get the opportunity to check the result before overwriting the stick.
Mar 4	comment	Bash script that automatically kills processes when CPU/memory usage gets too high are you familiar with the commands `cpulimit` and `timeout`?
Mar 4	comment	Bash script that automatically kills processes when CPU/memory usage gets too high In my use case the killing is not desired.
Mar 4	comment	Bash script that automatically kills processes when CPU/memory usage gets too high First monday of the month and my PC is checking a (slow'ish) RAID6 set. CPU load easily peaks above 8 because it is constantly waiting for disk IO from this RAID set. Nothing wrong, system is still very responsive. Your script would kill my firefox which uses only 3.6% of the available 400%. Just saying you may be hunting for ghosts with this script. BTW: your system will not get damaged because of high load and when memory runs out, the kernel will do a semi-educated guess on which process(es) to kill.

Feb 24	comment	reading from a file and changing its pattern into an array? Set up key authentication on the Cisco boxes. It is a lot of work the first time, but once it works you can easily (and still secure) log on to the machines.
Feb 20	comment	How to build AVR cross-compler under Gentoo Linux? I wasn't aware of that, you should update your question to make it more specific.
Feb 20	comment	How to build AVR cross-compler under Gentoo Linux? Distributions are pretty much a personal thing to choose. In my opinion Gentoo is brilliant for learning all the ins and outs of GNU/Linux. I don't like Fedora and OpenSUSE because these are pretty much the test and play yard for RHEL and SLED. I personally am not fond of rpm-based package managers. I had couple bad experiences in the past, probably these are solved during the past 15 years but never really tried them again. I switched to Kubuntu because of the ease of its use and the KDE interface is a bit like the Windows interface that I'm familiar with.
Feb 19	comment	How to build AVR cross-compler under Gentoo Linux? These kind of messages are, amongst other things, the reason why I switched distributions couple years ago. Gentoo is brilliant for leaning Linux, but it can be a pain when you want things to just work (after installing updates).
Feb 19	comment	How to build AVR cross-compler under Gentoo Linux? First hit on DuckDuckGo.com: forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5501540.html
Feb 8	comment	Why does “chmod 1777” and “chmod 3777” both set the sticky bit? You are proposing a potentially risky operation.The combination sticky bit and rwx permisions for all is bad practice. Anybody can change and execute the file and the s-bit allow switching to root user without pasword.
Feb 3	comment	Use desktop speakers over SSH from laptop Pulseaudio can route audio over the network. wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/pulseaudio I had it working many-many moons ago, but I changed hardware and it is no longer required for myself. I know it exists, I don't know how to implement it. Hence a link that I think is useful in a comment, rather than a full blown answer.
Feb 3	comment	How to truely install a tar.gz file on Linux - how to manage manually-installed (or standalone) applications? To elaborate on the eclipse example, if you are running on Debian, you don't have to search for *.(deb\|tar.gz) files. Simply type `sudo apt-get install eclipse` to get it installed from repositories. It will receive automatic regular updates too and it will show in your 'Start'-menu. Always first search repositories, before manually downloading and installing software eg.: `apt-cache search chrome` returns (a.o.) chromium-browser which is the open source version for chrome. Make a choice either `sudo apt-get install chromium-browser` or install Chrome from its own archives.
Feb 3	comment	How can I get Apache2 in OpenSUSE to map /srv/www/htdocs/index.php to localhost? "what is changing the document root to point somewhere" => The Apache2 configuration is. You can find it in `/etc/httpd`. What files are in that directory? If there is a `httpd.conf`, then append it to your question.
Jan 18	comment	Missing 32 bit library on a 64 bit Linux install @jordanm your hint put me on the right track, thnx! I executed `$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libxtst6:i386` and Eclipse now successfully runs. You should consider writing an answer.
