With Hardy, MacBooks' hardware is fairly well-supported. If you're planning on single-booting with Ubuntu, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get the disk partitioned; you have the option of...
At long last! Leopard, Hardy, and Vista are booting up fine, the shared-storage partition is recognized by all, and the GPT/MBR tables are in harmony. Here's a little "ten-step plan" to what I did:
...
I tried that... and after I did, not only did Windows refuse to install, but the partition tables got out of sync, OS X was unable to see the NTFS drive, and Linux became unbootable again.
I just...
Ubuntu boots fine after reformatting the JFS partitions as ext3, but now Windows won't install. It tells me, "Windows was unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation" when...
...Aha. I guess I'll go reformat as ext3 and see what happens. Thanks!
I recently wiped my Santa Rosa MacBook (macbook3,1)'s hard disk clean and, consequently, felt that now was a good time to install a Leopard/Hardy/Vista triple-boot on it. But I'm running into a...
Anyone, feel free to correct me on any of this. I'm combining personal experience with what I've read before, so...
Ext3 is the Linux filesystem; it's guaranteed to be recognized by any Linux...
There is the occasional WMV file that doesn't play without the w32codecs. Even so, those files aren't very common - at least, not anymore.
But consider this: what players provide a frontend to...
This is true. Marx's idea of a perfect society was one in which everyone had complete freedom (without government, even) but nobody abused it; everyone just took what he needed out of the commune. In...
Er, that's because I messed it up. Whoops. :mad:
Try this:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pidgin /usr/bin/
I believe it installs in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin. I can't know for sure myself (mine's still compiling :p ), but this might work:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/pidgin /usr/bin/
sudo apt-get install libgnutls-dev should take care of it.
It actually sounded to me like "Mex-ico" when I first heard it, but then I realized it was "Let's-a go" after a few times. "____ pickle" never entered my mind. The wrong syllable is accented, and...
I don't have the hardware to run it effectively. I'm using Ubuntu on a laptop with 256MB of RAM, a Celeron, and an Intel 800-something GPU. As a matter of fact, I'm using Fluxbox because GNOME tends...
Another youngster here: 15.
By the time I was old enough to really understand how to use a PC, Windows 3.1 was quickly being replaced with Windows 95. I didn't become overly interested in...
I originally pronounced it as "nome," but then I heard that the correct pronunciation was "guh-nome." But now that I see that most people pronounce it as "nome" anyway, I think I'll switch back. :p
I would have to agree with Linus there. I normally use E17 just because I couldn't stand Metacity/GNOME any longer, and I plan on trying out Xubuntu when Feisty is released.
I'll probably switch...
...Weird. I've got the exact same one.
It doesn't really matter anymore, though, thanks to session savers. 8)
Aha. I guess I'm looking forward to CNR's move to Ubuntu, then. :D
My (old) laptop doesn't even have a DVD drive, so at the moment it's not an issue for me personally. But I do plan to buy a new...
I've read in a couple different places (including the WIkipedia article - not that I trust Wikipedia as an entirely trustworthy source :p ) that libdvdcss2 doesn't bypass the copy protection measures...
I'm not really sure. But saying "GNU/Linux" gets me weird looks. :p
greggh, it was Ari Lemmke who first gave it the name Linux. That's what he called Linus' directory on his FTP server.
And it...
I call it Linux, not out of any disrespect for GNU, but because it's the name everybody knows. Really, the kernel itself is Freex - Linus didn't choose the name Linux. Linux is sort of what the...
Stallman is talented and cool and all that, but I find him (and his disciples, in some cases) somewhat... snobbish. In the fifteen years since Linux was created, though, Linus hasn't managed to...
Behold. I'm using the Cillop-Midnite GTK theme and the ATER-Blue Metacity theme, both from gnome-look.org.
No Beryl or anything, though. My Celeron-with-256MB-RAM laptop isn't really capable of...
It's released every 6 months to synchronize itself with GNOME, which also has a 6-month release cycle.
