  1. Re: Compiling game-editor... or deb package available?

    I'd be interested to see a package of Game-Editor as well. I'm in the process of compiling llvm and it's inflating huuuge (~2GB). Taking a good long time (but what do I know about whether or not...

    [ubuntu] Re: Switching users from the CLI?

    I'm curious. Is /etc/init.d/gdm restart the same as the hotkeys CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE? I know that will restart your current X-Session but does that restart/apply changes to gdm?

    [ubuntu] Re: Switching users from the CLI?

    Right, startx -- :1 should work.

    When the PC starts it runs something equivalent to "startx -- :0" to tell the display manager to draw the first screen on tty7. You run "startx -- :1" to tell it...

    [ubuntu] Re: Switching users from the CLI?

    I'm taking a stab in the dark here. I believe if you go to another tty ( alt+ctrl+1-6,8 ) you'll find the CLI. Log in with the user and then type "startx". It works for my fluxbox configuration and...

    Re: install from iveCD

    The LiveCDs of Ubuntu now give you the entire desktop to use during the install. You can still play the included LiveCD games, word processors and web browser while installing.

    [all variants] Re: Old PC Linux Install

    You sound like you'd be comfortable with a variant of Ubuntu. I'd recommend Xubuntu (http://www.xubuntu.org/)

    I've got an old 350MHz PC w/ 64MB-RAM sitting around and I've had luck with Xubuntu in...
  8. Re: Are Dell E and Dell E Slim worth waiting for?

    I was quoting from an EeePC wiki regarding the expected write limits of a solid state drive.
    [Edit: I had skipped over the line where the author of the article expected a typical user to achieve 25...
  9. Re: Are Dell E and Dell E Slim worth waiting for?

    I don't think anyone can tell you if a certain laptop is worth waiting for. I'll tell you why I'm looking forward to Dell's E and you can take what you will from it.

    The decision of which...

    [ubuntu] Re: initramfs + busybox trouble installing

    Just a follow up. I'm now swimming happily through the Hardy Heron i386 desktop, thanks to the alternate CD and pci=nomsi argument.

    [ubuntu] Re: initramfs + busybox trouble installing

    I'd read what jedimasterk wrote in another thread, that to the alternate CD is to loathe and we shouldn't have to resort to it.

    After burning...

    [ubuntu] Re: initramfs + busybox trouble installing

    I'm in the same boat.

    320GB SATA2 hard-drive split 260GB to WinXP and 50+ to Ubuntu 7.10 currently.

    I can confirm that both the AMD64 and i386 Live-CD versions dead-end at the busybox /...
