Thanks very much.

Dont the nVidia drivers do that for you anyway?

Something that displays: memory usage, cpu usage ect.

Edit: DJT, keep your stupid questions to yourself please, a better question would be, "why not?"

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a hardware monitor that displays resources on your desktop for ubuntu 7.04?

Thanks in advance.

I'm busy downloading backtrack 2 which I plan to install and dual boot along with my current installation of ubuntu 7.04.

How do I do this without damaging my current installation of ubuntu and without adding another drive?

Pleas any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok next question for Judas: How do I configure vsftpd? vsftpd uses a really simple text-based config file which is stored in /etc/vsftpd.conf. To edit the file, just run this command in the terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal): sudo nano /etc/vsftpd.conf It's a bit different from the Wind...

Then search for it.

Installing applications in Linux is insanely easy.

I downloaded Ubuntu 7.04 and installed it on an extra PC I have lying around, after fiddling with it for about 20 minutes one thing became abundantly clean to me: You don't need to pay to get good software.. I even managed to set up a remote control system from my windows system to my linux system ...

I have Ubuntu 7.04, Redhat something somewhere and a version of gentoo I can't remember..will get the details when I'm home again.

I'm in the Centurion area.

Just a suggestion.

Well if you can afford it use second copy it works well. Otherwise try http://www.download.com/?tag=hd_ts theres quite a lot of stuff here, perhaps theres something for you.

Hmm, this interested me too, until I read the price.

You get applications for that just google for it. Or you could borrow ram from someone install that in your pc and see if the problem persists.

A quick google gave this: http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ , not sure if it works but its worth a try.

This is almost as retarded as that girl who sold herself for gold in WoW.

Haha, I'm 20 years old and haven't modded anything over adding fans to a graphics card that blew its own fan. Thanks for the welcome.

Tried all usb ports and still nothing. I'm trying to find different drivers from the net but I'm having trouble finding.

For future reference: It was the blown isdn modem's driver that was still installed, after I removed that it worked perfectly, do'h.
