Guys anyone notice a few bugs in 8.10 ? Some peeps ( like me ) are having a shutdown bug where the box doest actually shot down or reboot because the sounds drivers cant be killed. Also , on 8.10 i just cant get wine to work. ( Not that i use it much but it wont go ). The network manager supports p...

Oh and BTW , does anyone know of a place where i can DL Xubuntu localy??? no torrents It's strange. I just checked ftp://ubuntu.mirror.ac.za and they don't mirror xubuntu only kubuntu and edubuntu. You can also install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage in synaptic on another *buntu if you have it. ED...

Purdy! Real Purdy.....but is the 3D Rectangle wossname practical? Is it practical? The desktop cube is one of the reasons I now feel crippled on a windows desktop. Especially the scale plugin. Switching to a window on any desktop quickly is as easy as tapping some keys (or a few clicks if you're th...

Compiz and themes being the biggest thing for me

What you guys think?

I love the black theme. Where do I get my hands on it?

Well , if you could boot 8.10 you could create a usb startup drive from within the administration menu. Pitty that hey. Hmmm, if only hey. is anybody experiencing random reboots on 8.10? I just started about 4 days ago........I cannot identify a trend ...it just happens intermittently. :| So far it...

After my writer turned my very last CD into a beautiful frisbee (I've posted it on eBay if anyone's interested. BTW it can also double as a coaster), I needed a way to install without a CD. Then I found UNetBootin. This program creates a bootable, installable USB drive. Just what I was looking for. ...

Im studying my A+ there atm, think Im paying R1500 for my Essentials Exam, but it changes when the R-$ exchange rate changes

Is that the price of the exam component only? Or course fees as well? And does it cover the elective exam?

Hey guys.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the prices of writing the A+ and N+ exams. I can only find info on the whole course and not specifics on just the exams. I have the course materials and would like to book only the exams if that is possible.

Thanks in advance.

In the recovery console on the xp cd try the following (preferably with only the xp drive in)
Not sure anymore if you need to specify the drive letters that's why its best to leave just the xp drive in.

Evangelion was awsome in English IMO. I got the Rebuild part 1 and I just skipped through it for now, but it sounds weird in Japanese. lol I also only got an english dub of evangelion and I got over the language quite quickly. Now with rebuild it's totally weird. I wonder if I should look for an en...

Guys I just saw this. Sorry I'm formatting my pc. Getting an Anti- virus, anti spyware, firewall, registry cleaner and ... a box of condoms cos seriously linux is not good to me anymore.

Liet_Kynes the way mtn works (I think) is that there are lots of internal IP's (10.76.96.1, 10.76.96.2, 10.76.96.3, etc) all linked to 1 external IP (196.207.35.48 ). Really? Damn that's messed up. Well it's gonna be hard making yourself connectable to the outside world then since mtn are basically...

I tested now, I went to the website www.whatismyip.com and it gave me the ip 196.207.35.48 and then i right clicked on the connection and looked at the status and my ip is 10.76.96.XXX. Does this mean my external is 196.207.35.48 and my internal is 10.76.96.XXX Yes get your buddy to connect to the ...

Have any of you tried using the torrent to fix your corrupt downloads. Downloading the whole cd again is a bit much and the torrent would just reget the corrupt parts.

The easiest way is to use synaptic.

System -->Administration-->Synaptic Package manager


or you could use Applications --> Add/Remove


OR

You could download a deb file but i don't suggest that cos it can be a hassle with depencies.

Thanks for the quick reply. It worked like a bomb

Hey guys. Does anyone know how to edit the registry when using Wine? Or how to install a registry patch eg. *.reg

@anthro. The wubi install is definitely one of the things I want to try. Just to see it.

Runing it a a "virtual machine" defeats its purpose for me. I'd like to see how they set it up though.

Does anyone know if kubuntu 8.04 is gonna have KDE4? Because that looks pretty sweet actually. As a matter of interest, I got this email from an Ubuntu user: KDE desktop is easy to get to from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" in a terminal (without the quotes) - It is a 220 ...

Has anyone ever requested a free CD from https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ here ?? My question is do we pay duties if they ship it? Yep I ordered gutsy from them. Took about 10-11 days to get here. The charge was 12bucks. I will be ordering Hardy as well seeing as I want to get a copy of the 32bit version...
