Well the mods say that you should bump after someone else bumps... and if you bump again, do it within a reasonable time. Say you bump now, and no one else bumps within 10 minutes, then you can bump again. I think that's reasonable. But whatever.

Well, thank you for the compliment, but I do not, nor have I ever wanted to be the "#1 poopy head". I am surprised anyone would vie for that position, but more power too them. But, don't worry, I'm sure you will be the #1 poopy head. You are probably in the top 20 already.

BUMP
I've heard a lot of reports about 8.10 having a slower boot time, but for some reason, installing 8.10 actually shaved ~10 seconds off of my boot time.

My bump time is still 20 seconds though.

[sstusick]

I don't care about boot time...I rarely reboot. My system is noticeably slower than it was last night though..

I don't care about boot times. If it take me four hours, yes, but under five min is ok. If it has a super short boot time but takes 85 secs to load DSL's home page, we have a problem.

[sstusick]

I rarely reboot or shutdown so boot times don't really bother me.

just reboot and now I've got that window problem again...

8.10 is going bye bye.

[jenkinbr]

Window problem...?

bump:(

[sstusick]

Yeah, its a pain in the a$$, I wrote about here a few pages ago..well, probably 100 pages now.

BUMP

[jenkinbr]

My only problem with 8.10 is that pulseaudio isn't set up so that it runs straight away, therefor causing audio apps to misbehave...

Problem also exists in 8.04....

bump

[sstusick]

lol, I'll try...

Say I have a window in the foreground, ok? And there is a window in the background, behind it. The window in the front is not as big as the window in the back.. now say I want to do something in the window in the back, I click somewhere inside that window..and you would think that that window would be brought to the foreground, right? Wrong..it stays in the background and the only way to bring it to the front is by minimizing the windows in front of it or clicking on the window border.. very odd behavior, it sure as hell wasn't like this in any previous version of Ubuntu.
There it is.

[jenkinbr]

Strange...... Never heard of that issue before.

Bump

[lukjad007]

I'm having this really annoying problem with 8.04.

My $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored because it supposedly has some permission errors. I tried to fix them then I moved the file. When that didn't work I renamed it. When that didn't work, I deleted it. That doesn't fix it and the file is not being recreated. Its just annoying, it doesn't seem to change much. This only seems to happen after I do a backup, which I did a while ago. Any ideas?

I used to have that problem. I just ignored it until I decided to back up my /home and then format it clean and re-install Ubuntu.

[lukjad007]

Yeah. Just I hate having one more thing to click. Oh, well. That may be the extra push I need to try out Intrepid.

Hmmm... So, not so great a deal? I will look to see if I have it built at Microbytes is cheaper. But, when you say that this is expencive, do you mean that I could get the same system for half the price or what?

$200+ video card.. wow..you must be dedicated. That's more than I'd spend. Onboard graphics suit my needs nicely.

[elmer_42]

It is done (http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=7869145)! Built with about the same parts as a $1k Dell, but for $712.14.

Well, if he's going to spend $1k on a PC shouldn't he get something that can game?

250 GB HDD is a little small, but should be the minimum anyone offers these days.

No problem, I've done stuff like this for my irl friends before, and it's not too big of a time investment. Just a quick question so I know if I need to dig up some links: have you built a PC before?

[lukjad007]

Well, if he's going to spend $1k on a PC shouldn't he get something that can game?
Not much of a gamer, but I am planning on doing a lot of virtual networking and running virtual PCs. I'm guessing that a good video card is a must.

[elmer_42]

The Dell had a 250GB HDD, I was just building a comparable system.

No. I'm taking a course in computers but I didn't get many hours building PCs. I suppost I should.

Building a PC should be pretty self-explanatory, only part that you should take care with is seating the mobo and the processor and make sure you ground yourself at all times.

While I'm not sure about the GPU's impact on VM performance, I know you'll need a good processor (the Q9300 is one) and a lot of RAM (if you really wanted to you could get 8GB).

I would recommend getting a Newegg account and playing around with some different setups in different wish lists. Then you can compare the overall prices and possibly save yourself some cash.

[lukjad007]

No. I'm taking a course in computers but I didn't get many hours building PCs. I suppost I should.
Also, I was wondering, I didn't see anything about a fan. Is it a good idea to get a case fan or is the power supply enough for the computer?

[elmer_42]

No. I'm taking a course in computers but I didn't get many hours building PCs. I suppose I should.
It's not too hard. It took me a few days, but that was because I forgot that my CPU didn't come with a heatsink and I had to overnight one from Newegg. All in all, it probably took 3 hours of pure working. I'll see if I can find some good guides for you. If I remember correctly, Corsair had some nice ones on their wobsite.

[elmer_42]

Also, I was wondering, I didn't see anything about a fan. Is it a good idea to get a case fan or is the power supply enough for the computer?
That case comes with 1 80mm fan in the front and 1 120mm fan in the back.
e:Found it (http://www.corsairmicro.com/systembuild/report.aspx?report_id=78237&sid=1)! The actual building of the PC starts here (http://www.corsairmicro.com/systembuild/report.aspx?report_id=78237&sid=3).

I guess I can spend the extra on the extra 4 gigs. I'll have a looksee and let you guys know what I decide.

Oh, it also it might help if you made friends with somebody in your computer class who has built a computer before, just in case something goes wrong.

I'm going to set up something that's about halfway between the Dell version and my insane version.

That is an awesome looking system!

[elmer_42]

Skip the half-way thing. I'm setting up what I believe to be the perfect Lukjad rig. Do you need a keyboard and mouse?

[lukjad007]

System76.com ;)

BUMP

I would suggest the 2.50 GhZ, that seems to be the best value for money.

For $1,151 you could build a system that would be amazing.

Butterflies

Modernize
Penguins

I agree. They sound a little expensive.

I'll start a wish list on Newegg for you, lukjad.

Bears
Unappealingly
Market
Pirates

I would say the CPU is better than the rest of the specs. I would also go for a better Graphics card and more HDD space.

Do you need a monitor?

You could probably build it cheaper, with better parts.

I don't know much about US/Canada computer part pricing, but I would have to agree. Build it yourself if you can.

OS: None
CPU: Intel Q9300 (2.5GHz)
RAM: Corsair 4GB (2x2GB)
GPU: HIS HD4870
HDD: Western Digital 750GB
Optical 1: NEC DVD±R
Optical 2: NEC DVD±R
Speakers: Logitech LS21
Keyboard: Logitech Internet 350
Mouse: Logitech Rx250
$987.14 (http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=7868885) (Before tax, shipping, and mail-in rebates)

Sorry it took so long, I got caught up looking at how prices have fallen since I last did this. xD

Thanks! Should I also make a build that is to the same specs as the Dell he posted earlier?
