I think this is probably a bug in FC4, even after you install with a GB setup you still get a US date in some apps such as firefox. To resolve this (it’s quite easy), simply replace en_US in your /etc/sysconfig/i18n file with en_GB. You’ll probably need to restart your system before the change takes effect, but it seems to fix all your LC_ environment variables also which is nice.
Here’s a site worth checking out: Boltfish recordings. They offer cd quality mp3s of almost all of their releases with the option to buy the CD for a realistic price should you feel the tunes are worth it. They have been around for some time, so I guess it’s working! They do chilled out electronic music, worth a listen.
Here’s why you should steer clear of trusted computing. Trusted computing article. This is really quite important if you intend to keep using your computer for the future. Well worth a read.
Make sure you’re in control of your computer, at least a little bit eh?
I’ve almost got my new media centre PC working as it should. I’ve recently downloaded a cool bit of PVR software for linux called Freevo. Definitely worth a look at, setting up your own media pc can be cheap if you have access to an old pc.
If you want to get TV out to work on Linux on Radeon 7000, don’t bother with all those little tools and things (unless you want something other than ‘clone’ mode). Simply plug in your svideo cable and use the ‘vesa’ driver for X rather than radeon. I tried for a long time to find the right modeline to use but couldn’t get it to work. However, I’ll try some more later on, chances are I might be able to find the current modeline from the vesa driver and use it on the radeon/ati one.
Well, here’s a very good reason to switch to the firefox web browser instead of using Internet Explorer. A new not-yet-patched exploit has been exposed that allows allows someone to run whatever they like on your computer. I’ve set it up myself to proove how easy it is: IE Exploit (loads calc.exe (after you click your OS) calculator (harmless!)). Say I wanted to steal money from you…I could quite easily make that page download a program to monitor what you type, like all your passwords etc.
