The solution is simple! Look to this thread:

It’s as simple as shutting down and restarting the Pulse daemon as soon as you’ve got everything set up the way you like it. Otherwise, when you log off or shut down, the daemon is killed before it can save its settings, reloading the defaults on the next boot.
Pulseaudio daemon won’t save it’s settings to ~/.pulse if just killed when exiting your login session. It will only save if you kill the daemon with pulseaudio -k command. So I had to add a 1-line script (/usr/bin/pulseaudio -k) to /etc/kde/shutdown directory. Now it works.

To change the Java version you’re currently using under Fedora 8 (and maybe other distros) run the following command as a root user. Take note: this command is in /usr/sbin/, so just running it through su may not work.
update-alternatives –config java

This was a bit annoying, but eventually was easy to fix according to this thread:

There’s a boot script at /etc/init.d/boot.local. Add
modprobe ath_pci
sleep 5
ifup ath0
sleep 5

It’s so much easier in Linux, but this page finally revealed what it takes.

Evolution likes to use Gnome’s setting for the default web browser. To edit Gnome’s default web browser, you use this command:
gnome-default-applications-properties
In order to get this app to work in a KDE only environment, the following package is needed:
control-center

With my NIS server and my OpenSuse clients, I’ve been having some problems getting 3D acceleration working.
Luckily, I’ve found a simple solution. Because I’m unable to assign the NIS users to the video group (which is what Nvidia’s permissions are set to), I must set the Nvidia device file to allow access for everyone.
Just edit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia and replace 660 with 666. All done!
On another note, Doom 3 will only run at 24 bit depth. Make sure the xorg.conf file is set to that!

This is ridiculous.
Windows will not stop nagging me to restart my computer. Ever. It interrupts games, and is just plain annoying. Fortunately, I’ve found a way to disable it.
Now, to get rid of it:
Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations
Pretty nifty.

Apparently, adding &fmt=18 to the end of any YouTube URL will present you with a higher quality version of the video. Interesting…

To keep the login screen from starting too early, before NIS is initialized and NFS shares are mounted, I used this command under OpenSuSE 10.3:
insserv -r earlyxdm
I got this command from the following thread:
