Hello!
I've been a hard-core Linux convert for the last 5 or so years now, I only boot to Windows when I absolutely need to - and I try to avoid that whenever possible.
I have a question I hope...

Wow, I saw that about the Android and thought "that is linux based isn't it?"
I'll be a very happy guy when I can watch Netflix on my MythBuntu machine. Then I don't need to depend on Microsoft...

Flush twice, it's a long way to Redmond!

Worked for me too! Thanks for sharing the tip. Google Earth is again usable! ):P

Cool! I'll try that. I never got it working right, or at least wasn't able to figure out how to get it running. I kept ending up with some 172 mode or something.

I did just get some new...

I'm still having problems getting the GPS/Computer to talk to each other. It works fine in Windows, but I don't want to go that way.

I forget what I did, but I did the the GPS to beep when I did...

Add me to the list!
I just got a Garmin eTrex Venture HC that I'm trying to get working with Openstreetmaps and Ubunutu. I can get the maps with Ubuntu fine and convert them to .img, but then I...

I did try to restart from ssh using vncserver, but that didn't seem to work either. Maybe I need to try the same thing with UltraVNC? Worth a try I guess.
I just have to ssh to the machine and...

Oh good! It wasn't just me. It's not the end of the world, but when I have to remotely reboot my machine so I can do a 'cut-and-paste' it gets kind of annoying.
When I reboot, it seems to work...

Ooops...make that Ctrl-V not C. you know what I mean!

I've had this problem for a while and wondering if anyone has an idea what is going on.
I'm running 9.10 on a computer at home, and when I VNC into it from my Mac at work.
When I do a...

Yep. I'm going to try that and see if 10.04 support it. That would be great if it does! Just got an email that Beta 2 was just released. Always great when a new version comes out. :)

I've seen a lot of comments and message threads about the RT818L wireless card that makes me think it's just not compatible (yet?) with Ubuntu.
I recently got a RadioLabs Wifi antenna for an RV...

Yep. I saw it was up and I downloaded it using the script that the guy on this thread provided. Everything installed, but just a little confused about how to run the program with the different...

Do you just follow the instructions at the start of that thread? I just got a RadioLabs Marine wifi antenna for my boat that is based on this network card. I use a netbook on my sailboat, but I run...

Grrr.....I guess I'll have to find another source, that script goes to the flightgear.org site which is gone right now.

Oh, duh....just saw Davec's reply above I'll try his file.

T.

I just discovered the new version is out. Looks nice, but not sure where to get it from. The main web page for the sim has "bandwidth exceeded".

Still no new repository for Ubuntu or another...

The thing is, most of the stuff the rest of the family does, can so easily be done with Ubuntu without the hassle, and pain of fixing XP all the time. I think I have to rebuild my dad's computer at...

I just updated my main computer at home with 9.04 this weekend. Took me about 35 minutes to install and update it. Then another 15 or so to move my data back over from my other drive. (I did a...

Wow, I started this thread a while back and it's up to 7 pages now!
I've still got 8.10 on my main computer but will upgrade to 9.04 soon, I have 9.04 (full version not the netbook thing) on my...

I my router will allow an assigned IP address through the DMZ. I have a static IP On that machine so it doesn't change on me.

I probably have hole open with the user, I use my own account to get...

I have one of my linux machines at home (8.04) running in my basement on a DMZ port so I can reach it from outside.
I have no firewall on it, but since it's not a Windows machine, it just keeps...

Well, I was actually running Etrust antivirus on a Win 2000 machine exposed to the raw internet through DMZ. The computer was so bogged down fighting viruses that I had to pretty much give up and...

Oh, I was doing the same thing as this once with Windows running one of those little utilities. I think it was IPMonkey or something like that. The computer was running very badly until I figured...
