To search and replace using Vi editor - issue this below command in "Insert" mode:

:%s/search_text/replace_text/g

where:

1. : is for Insert mode (Esc + i or Insert or shift i)
2. %s is for search
3. g is for Global search through the file.

Installing Nvidia driver on Lenny

Hi All,

Warning: This may screw up your X server. I or my blog is not responsible for it.

This post explains how to install Nvidia driver on Lenny.

Include contrib and non-free repositories through the software sources through UI.

Command wise - update /etc/apt/sources.list to include this line
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
and then apt-get update

Then follow this procedure (Using Synaptic):

1. Install nvidia-glx driver
2. Install nvidia-kernel (this has to match your kernel version)
3. Install nvidia-kernel-common

Once this is done - then

1. Install nvidia-xconfig

Open "gnome-terminal" and run "nvidia-xconfig" as root.

If you have 2 monitors - you can split your view using (will write about this with pictures sometime later)

1. Install "nvidia-settings"

Note:

1. Nvidia does not hot deploy kernel modules. A restart is required.
2. Many a times after the restart - the X server is screwed up.Its better to backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file before implementing this post.

Hope 1: Hope you can solve dependency issues.

I will be writing another post to fix xorg.conf sometime later.

.ram .rm files

Hi All,

This is my first post of June.


If you see my last post of May, I had mentioned about mozilla-mplayer.

.ram and .rm files are Real Media file extensions and are default extensions to listen to streaming audio.
 
But these days - the internet streams for audio - give you an option of multiple file formats like mp3, aac et al.

This embedded-mplayer plugin plays all these formats.

Enjoy,
