good to hear that it works on 11.04. regarding 12.04: have not tried that one yet (yes, am a bit behind with that). not sure whether i’ll get around to giving it a try in the foreseeable future

Thanks for providing this detailed guide! It works perfectly on my netbook running 11.04. However it does not work in 12.04; I can’t seem to compile vnc2dl. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

My colleagues and I use this setup in our daily classroom teaching but we are no good at fixing drivers Your sage advice is most appreciative

I find keyboard macros nice for things like this (spaces add for readability).

"M-0 C-x r n a" put the number zero in register a

"C-x (" begin keyboard macro

"C-s rewired(0) C-b C-b C-d" search for rewired(0), go back to spaces and erase the 0

"C-x r i a" insert the value of the a register

"C-x r + a" increment the value of the a register

"C-x )" end keyboard macro

"M-10 C-x e" execute that macro ten times

Comment on CSS selector transforms… by dirk husemann

ah, ok. like this:

[scala] partialUpdate(SetHtml("dog", ("#animal ^^" #> "ignore" &~> "img [src]" #> "dog.png")(defaultHtml)) [/scala]

however, more recent versions of liftweb allow us to do what i originally tried:

[scala] partialUpdate(SetHtml("dog", ("#animal ^^" #> "ignore" & ("img [src]" #> "dog.png"))(defaultHtml)) [/scala]

Hi - how to you apply your final result to your original question of wanting to do a 'partialUpdate(SetHtml("dog", Text(wuff! wuff!)))' Thanks Damian

Hi DrScofield, Sorry for the long long delay in replying to you. I've been very ill. I'm back on my feet now. As to the PPC thing, it compiles ok but there are mysql errors. I wonder if you have any pointers?
