That didn't quite work for me. It turns out it didn't open quite the right ports. I just fixed this problem on my 8.10 machine by opening up samba's ports on the gufw firewall (installable from...

I'd like to know - I've been considering upgrading to 9.04, and I'd like to know if the benefits of 9.04 outweigh the risk of upgrading my currently stable 8.10 system.

Am I to understand that this problem still hasn't been resolved? I was seriously hoping that it would be fixed in 9.04.

I'd like to be able to render video with openGL (or at least something that...

I feel stupid. I tried the drive on a different Windows machine, and it worked, so, on my own computer, I simply tried waiting for a while to see if the drive would ever unlock. Well, guess what? ...

I have a terabyte Western Digital USB HD that I was backing up to from both my Windows machine and from my Ubuntu machine, but after I used my Ubuntu machine to load data onto it and delete and...

I got the binaries from http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11513 to work. By default, it seems that they use X11 and bog down my system even though I've got an AMD X2 5000. I had to...

I'm confused - where's there a working package on that thread? That looks like its for a totally different emulator.

I'm not sure I entirely agree with that - I haven't really gotten any 'Windows Bloat' on this box yet, and I haven't even defragged in a while. To be certain, I have seen and had quite a few cases...

This has probably been said many times in here, but every time I install linux, I have to twist its arm to get it to function how I want it to, and if something goes wrong, or if I want to update the...

I don't think anybody's mentioned this yet: installing and compiling from source in Windows is just as hard as it is in Linux, if not harder because Linux has all the compilers you'd ever want within...

It looks like you're talking about the nvidia drivers for 64-bit linux? Am I right? Well, I'm using 32-bit linux. I don't imagine they'll work. Would you suggest using 64-bit linux? I heard the...

no luck

I installed the latest driver from the nvidia .run file, quitting X and letting it compile stuff for me. Well it didn't work.

My computer is sending me mixed messages.

Every time I...

I was trying to backup my /etc directory manually using:


sudo cp -rv /etc /media/backup-directory/etc

The verbose mode showed the files being copied over, but when I looked in my backup...

I haven't yet gone through all the motions, but I've been having some of the same problems, and am considering the upgrade to 8.10beta, especially since I'm not using wireless.

I recently had to...

How much can I curse on these forums without getting modded?

Looks like the nforce 430 chipset can only handle 1 analog video stream at a time, and it turns out that the VGA monitor I had...

Yeah, I tried it - all it wound up doing was killing anything that did work, but that was mostly settings. Eventually I'm just going to reinstall, but that might not help.

I've read that the...

I have been totally unable to get s-video output to my TV. This MAY be a hardware problem - I don't even see video when the computer POSTs. All I'm trying to do is get my monitor output mirrored to...

I'm happy enough with Compiz not working, but I like being able to use the desktop wall because some windows are too big for my low resolution. I've been too busy to want to mess with it yet, but if...

I'll have to try some of those when I'm feeling more enterprising... If you get to any of them first, could you post your results?

Also, has anybody figured out why the problems cropped up in...

Why does X11 quality suck anyway, and why does it seem to be the default?

A little while ago, I was able to get gl video working in fullscreen mode (but not windowed) with compiz working too, but...

has nobody arrived at a solution without disabling compiz?

Now I wonder how that curve extends downward, and it seems like a few other posters have too... maybe I should have put a section in for kids to vote rather than adhering to the 'under 13' taboo.

May we all be playing around with the latest Linux distro (now running on our virtual implant interfaces supporting quantum sub-processors) too when we're your age.

Some points need clarification here:

I like using the command line. It's usually nice, quick, gets the job done, I can copy and paste commands, I can pass various arguments to programs and if I...

Wish this would let me finish writng my poll before posting thread to the boards... The other thread had no poll.
