Oops, guess I failed to check this thread for awhile. Hello to both of you, math_phy and jmbrown!
Just needed to rebuild a workstation from scratch, and forgot to save my xorg.conf file. Oops!
Fortunately, I could still find this thread. I'm even a lefty, so Buffalo Soldier's original post...
My upgrade from Feisty went generally well, with one (and only one) issue (which I haven't solved yet).
I was using the proprietary Nvidia driver (nvidia-glx from the repos) in Feisty, it worked...
Have a great time at the party, you guys. I'd love to be there, but I've already had an expensive month. Plus, I'm worn out.
Plus, I'm gonna go see Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello here in...
Welcome, Mike!
Good to meet you, Newbird! Hopefully you'll find these forums a friendly and helpful place.
ARGH I'm sorry to be missing it, hope you guys are having fun!
Howdy!
I don't think I know you, but by god I don't know how; I worked for UITS back in the nineties, myself. I PMed you my real name.
Hooray! Glad to see I'm not the only Ubuntu user in town. This is fun!
BTW I attended my first B-LUG meeting this week. It was sparsely attended, but I had fun and met cool people.
Hey buddy, there's a new "Dell" subforum here, you might try posting in there and see if you get better responses.
LOL, it has always been a topic of discussion among those of us who cut our chops (back in the day) at Technology Services (Indiana University) that many, many of us worked at Pizza Express (often at...
PS don't forget to look online for gigs, too. I telecommute these days, and it's great. My office is a 14-hour drive away from my house. :)
I'm a sysadmin myself, buddy. You can find work for sure, but it sure helps if you're willing to do some Windows stuff as well.
Ask around, maybe at the U of E? You might also check with...
Howdy cjm5229, nice to meet you.
I'm originally from North-central IN myself, but I've lived in Bloomington since '94.
Nice to see some truckers on here! I'm a professional geek myself, but...
Hey peeps, my apologies for making this thread and then dropping out on it.
Nice to meet you dudes!
Since the conversation ended up there (and because here in Bloomington, many many geeks have...
Hey peeps,
I guess I haven't checked to see if there was an Indiana LoCo for awhile; I'm pleased to see one!
Anyway, I'm near Bloomington (well, between Bloomington and Bedford). Anybody else...
No kidding! The ubuntuforums server is still rocking....
BTW I put a link to this thread in my sig....
Hooray for Indiana, there are already several of us.
BTW LOL, I switched up the latitude and longitude the first time; it put me in Antarctica.
I try to help people in whatever way I can, with any OS. I supported Windows and Mac OS stations for many, many years (I only have to deal with servers now) and will do whatever I can to help folks...
I bet you can get fifty different answers to that question, and none of them will say the same thing :)
When Linus Torvalds writes new software, he just makes punch cards with his teeth and feeds them into a reader.
I'm having no issues from Edgy (it's a Dapper Upgrade, not a fresh install) with the nvidia drivers. I just recently installed Beryl, then upgraded to the latest version of Beryl, and I'm still...
