For my 10 cents worth.
I have two old machines, a laptop given to me and a desktop that I literally found on the side of the road during a rubbish day.
(There were three, but used bits from one to...

Well I got the cron job working, turns out that it is a bad idea to name your auto-login user "alarmclock" D'OH! #-o The /etc/init.d/alarmclock script also uses that exact phrase to wipe...

Wheeeee, managed to get it working with "rtcwake".

Changed the following lines:

Gidday there.
This looks to be the ideal beast for my use, unfortunately it will not work for me because whenever "/sys/clas/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" is written to, it refuses to set the actual...

Thanks inspiral.

I will try that when I get home on friday.

I cannot think of anything else other than maybe 11.04 needs rtc alarm to be enabled in the bios. 8.10 didn't but who knows?

Amazing what 24 hours can do for the brain awareness.
Had a look in the game settings as you suggested, and changed the video part to suit my screen suze.
Now to figure out why the sound...

Whoo hooo. Thank you so much for that.
I've been beating my head against a wall for several days now trying to get this game working on my Dell Latitude laptop.
Admittedly I'm using Ubuntu 8.10,...

Hi there. Just saw your post on "grub" and hope that I'm not interrupting too much.
This link may help.

Errrr, Lukin.
