Very well. After making a coaster and finding out my desktop burner might not be quite right after being unused for years, i figured the drive of the machine could actually still burn discs and...

I used a method that involved placing a file in the root of the installed OSX partition and use openfirmware to boot to it (and i had to guess the partition number at the end)

It's because no...

lsmod shows the modules, alsamixer doesn't work.

I installed to minimal and then into lubuntu-desktop (14.04).
"Run alsamixer in 12.04 to find the ID" is what i mostly find :(

I plan to leave...

Have you noticed the FAQ tell us to do exactly the opposite? (blacklist snd-aoa etc). The default config had those blacklisted, and alsamixer had the same error (cannot open mixer: no such file or...

Hello, i tried this in a PowerBook G4 with 17" screen to no avail.
I guess it is not device 38? how can i tell the number when i only have 14.04 running?

Thanks Luigi, i just did this on a Powerbook G4 using 14.04 and it worked :)
(fbdev was doing 8 bit but lightdm doesn't work at all in that mode).

And now the audio...

Not really, Linux (1991) didn't exist back then, assuming you refer to the Morris Worm (1988) :)

Linux malware has existed for decades. The thing is, malware can't live and spread there easily...

Actually, you can use ANY ubuntu derivative just fine; and simply add the backbox ppa. It really is that simple :)

Linux doesn't crash, certainly not like windows. There is a problem you have there, probably "driver" (kernel module) related.
Or you might have faulty ram. Try memtest, and wait half an hour or so...

Don't do this, it is wasteful and slow/frustrating. Instead, get a couple of 1gb+ thumbdrives, iso images can quickly be put in those these days, and at the end of the day, you can still re-use the...

Yes, please understand Flash is proprietary, it is Adobe's sole responsibility for being so... slow in linux, which is why most people want to get rid of it asap. You cannot blame Linux or praise...

I also use Firefox, don't like the others, except maybe midori and xombrero for very old / low memory machines :)

Enlightenment 0.17.1 (from the EFL PPA) is taking 46MiB of ram in a Xubuntu 12.04 install... Go Bodhi i say :)

Not only is that small, it surpasses KDE in features, customability and even looks;...

After a year of not using it, i removed my last windows HD, dual boot is now completely gone. Plenty of games run in wine, plus the many emulators and many native ones are coming with steam. Banking...

I like it, keeping the LTS and the rest rolling. You'll have your parties every 2 years :P

I use Xubuntu 12.04 LTS just fine. You should stay with LTS releases.

Indeed, and the Chinese keyboard also has the western letters arranged in the qwerty fashion, so its better to leave the layout alone...

Those exist, but you didn't pick one. Have you seen the other unix like OSes? Have you seen commercial ones? How about real time types? QNX come to mind:

Even if you go free open source,...

Try using windows 98 today in a modern pc, the experience might give you some answers.

The community can do very little to improve abandoned proprietary software (no code!). Some people do try...

If Ubuntu moves into a rolling release model, as suggested by Canonical's Kernel Team Manager, it might not be needed anymore...

Go lossless, flac is the most supported on devices.

It is not smart to use lossy with high bitrates, you will get both big files and artifacts.

If you have an old mp3 player, just stick to the...

Things like this have been done to a limited extent with certain media types, or generally with compression (with compression your "description" simply takes a lot of space, usually half the actual...

I read that this encryption is optional and none of the terrestrial channels uses it. ISDB-Tb (Latin America) actually removed encryption from the format altogether to ensure terrestrial signals are...

This made it to ArsTechnica, and will probably hit /. etc.

Well here is my view, this might be another futile attempt to some freedom of speech here, let's see how this one goes...

Stallman is...

Yes, you have an unrelated support issue (its actually mentioned in their discussion forums); while i finally got the invitation, i have been playing for weeks :)
