Here I found something to change the default label width for the whole document (note that I changed ‘lyxlist’ to ‘labeling’):
%adjust the labelwidth in the LyXlist environment
\newlength\extrawidth
\setlength\extrawidth{1eM} % default value
\renewenvironment{labeling}[1]
{\begin{list}{}
{\settowidth{\labelwidth}{#1}
\addtolength{\labelwidth}{\extrawidth}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}
\renewcommand{\makelabel}[1]{##1\hfil}}}
{\end{list}}
To change the folder Thunderbird uses for deleted items:
If you do not like the behaviour of Firfox’s new url bar you might want to take a look at the oldbar addon and set browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped to true.
I was getting root file system not found errors when booting etch from a USB disk. As it turns out that the boot ramdisk did scan all devices for LVM partitions before USB drive detection was finished.
By adding rootdelay=10 to the kernel boot options the system will wait for ten seconds before activating LVM partitions giving the USB subsystem enough time to activate all devices.
Since the E61i has no escape key using vim is a rather interesting ordeal. I could send an escape key by pressing ctrl-chr, releasing ctrl, pressing chr again and select the opening braket.
Update The green key is also mapped to ESC ;).
Debian’s exim4 uses gnutls which has a feature that will not allow my E61i to use STARTTLS (see #438137) . Perhaps stunnel can help here …
Update: To advertise PLAIN authentication with exim4 for connections origination from localhost I used the following statement in my plaintext authentication configuration (broken into several lines for better readability):
server_advertise_condition =
${if or
{
{!eq{$tls_cipher}{}
}
{
eq{$interface_address}{127.0.0.1}}
}
{yes}{no}
}
That way plaintext auhentication is allowed for TLS sessions or unencrypted sessions originating from localhost.
Using stunnel and a default ssmtp configuration I can now send mails from my mobile phone.
Since I use a self signed certificate on my IMAP Server, my new E61i is complaining about an invalid certificate. I added the CA to my mobile by converting it to an x509 DER:
openssl x509 -outform der -in ca.pem -out ca.der
transfering the new file to the phone and opening it with the file manager.
Lightbox and Hover can be integrated, although some pople might consider it a little hackish…
First we need the image we’d like to display including a thumbnail. For this example I’ll be using “New York City” (thanks to the creator Paulo Barcellos Jr. for letting me use his image in this demo. Head over to InterfaceLIFT for more …).
After placing the image, the tumbnail and Lightbox on the web server, we need to include Lightbox’s javascript and CSS file into out theme. I simply added the following lines to my theme’s header.php:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/images/lightbox.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/images/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Please be sure to alter the paths to be valid on your system.
Now I created a Hover with exactly the following settings:

Whenever I use NewYorkCity in a posting it will be replaced with a Lightbox link and a Hover popup. When you click on the link a popup will be displayed.
Please note that Lightbox can not be used together with Websnapr, as you can see in the above example.
Bradley Charbonneau has created a short video tutorial on how to use Hover.
Trying to match ] with sed needs some precautions:
$ echo "[foo U ] abc/def [bar]" | sed 's/\([^]]\)\+] \([^ ]*\).*/\2/' abc/def
Or use awk:
$ echo "[foo U ] abc/def [bar]" | awk -F '[][]' '{print $3}'
abc/def
