pls i have a little issue. and i really hate it.

my yahoomail account never works in thunderbird or any email client at all on any platform thank God it at least works on my phones

abeg why? who has an idea why that may be. i already enabled pop forwarding in my account

found a solution:


For 12.04 they have simply hobbled wubi.exe to not offer the option to install, which you can bypass with a command-line option e.g. if your CD drive is D: you can go to a command line and run:

D:\wubi.exe --force-wubi

Note: Running wubi.exe standalone will download a preinstalled tar.xz image. You can still place the Desktop CD ISO in the same directory as wubi.exe and install it like that without downloading the ~500MB tar.xz image.





wubi is in the .iso apparently (havent checked) but the gist is even if it is not there, grab the iso, put it in the wubi install folder (if u installed it from their site seperatel, then start wubi, it wont download but will use the .iso ........hopefully


its running horribly in Vbox, slow. some video plugin keeps crashing.... will try wubi later, busy for now

chei, nairaland ooooooo

pc guru: i think ave been on 12.04 LTS before not sure if am on a beta or full release

if you are fully updated , you are on the full release.

peeps on the beta were updated even before the .iso were spun and uploaded.

puskin: U will hv to wait for a long time b4 it happens.

muhehehehehehe

SHICKEN

blackweaver: I see people are already busy, maybe i'll download the release this weekend if phcn will allow me

LASTMAn





ps. how am i going to install this thing on my work pc? i dont want to partition the drive, plus the sysad palava sef, i dont know sef...
i doubt if virtualbox will be satisfactory. the Pc has integrated Video only

i hope and pray so. cuz as far as im concerned, the match is 50/50

if u watched bayern this season at all you would know that the semi's was prolly their best match(es) the entire season and they are not all that, despite dk's efforts to make us believe otherwise

somebody should confirm this for me:

one cannot do a wubi install with a .iso file anymore? it is gonna have to download the OS itself?

hope not o. i had forgotten i had that option for my work pc, but checking the ubuntu site now i see the instructions for wubi only states its going to download the os


anyway, kudos for a new release though the servers seem to have crashed immediately. which makes me wonder, its always said linux has a minute user base bla bla bla, so who are these people crashing ubuntu servers on release dates?

KazeKage1: I won't lie, for a chinco tablet, the Ainol NOVO 7 is a really sleek device
4ller! 4ller! How many times i call you? As i wan dive enter this ocean, i need you to fasten a rope to my waist so i don't drown
Doesn't ship with Android market, but that can be side-loaded using a script found in one of the forums, they even have custom roms for it & battery life is good

Anyway, puskin you don brick your phone yet?

come wait, is that guy selling you the NOVO or the AURORA?

the Aurora comes with a iPS screen. and has a ICS 4.03 update that comes with market and english, yada yada yada

if its the novo, E NO SUPPOSE COST REACH LIKE THAT O. i think the Novo and the Aurora are supposed to be the same bar the screen.


anyway, y u dey shake? no shakement jare, i dey behind u, be our guinea pig na

^^^^^ OKADA

Ibime: @ topic,

Di Matteo has proved on at least 5 occassions that he is tactically suited to the big games.

Whether Napoli away, Benfica, Tottenham or Barca home and away, he has shown extreme tactical flexibility.

A staid and stagnant Chelsea have become vibrant simply by Di Matteo playing players to their strength - the likes of Mata, Kalou and Ramires in particular have been deployed in positions that get the best out of them, and add pace and extra dimension to the team to make the team adaptable against any opponent.

If we need to defend, RDM can defend. If we need to attack, RDM can attack.

RDM has the poise, confidence and media-handling for the job, and should be given the job.

I've been hearing some nonsense about RA and Chelsea suits wanting a big name manager that can move players on and handle new transfers. Why do you need that?

Most of the old players contract are coming to an end and they should simply let them go whilst squeezing every last drop out of them on their way out (as RDM is doing), not weakening the team by some foolhardy fixation with replacing older players who still have something to give (as AVB and RA have been doing).

If the question is who do you trust with transfer funds, I trust RDM infinitely better than Guardiola (a disastrous transfer-market operator - see Chygrinsky, Ibrahimovic, and the unnecessary signing of Fabregas which has weakened Barcelonas system) and Mourinho (spend-spend). Given that Chelsea do not have extreme amounts of money to spend anymore, RDM knows the market for undiscovered gems better than these guys as seen in his purchases of the likes of Mulumbu for West Brom.



Give RDM the job!

hmmn, na wah o. i think i will make a pdf of this post for posterity.

the painful part is when this nigga will make a u-turn, he will deny ever making these statements


when avram grant was interim manager, did he not appear to be doing these same things you are creaming your keyboard over? he was not fine enough for you abi?


did u mention mulumbu? so u honestly think that RDM or any manager will take over at chelsea and then start buying players like mulumbu? buying nobodies? at chelsea? i recommend breakfast for you.

furthermore, pls are you honestly saying that this chelsea team is not in need of clearing out the oldies? they have become "vibrant" abi? chei, laff wan tear my belle


ibime............ kai, this is embarassing

islamrules: Yes

FA reward IS far lucrative than premier league. Compare the financial reward.

HUNH?

na wah o, the type of things u read on the shekpe thread sef

StarBoard: Coogar,
It don't matter what has been done. What matters is that when you're called up to do a job, you do it.
Ronaldo put Madrid on the disadvantage in the shoot-out by missing his first kick.
Simple as that.Even if he scored two dodgy goals prior to that, what else did he do to ensure Real took the day?
He's a serial choker jare.On the big stage, he always messes up and rarely shows up.
Lahm could afford a miss so long in hindsight since Bayern won from that advantage.

RuuDie: who frigging cares if christy-essien scores 10 goals in the semis what good were the goals and where was he when they needed him to score from the spot!?
Bottom line, at the end of the night, he contributed no more than Messi who didn't score; so spare us the BS jare

nah, YOU BOTH need to spare us the BS. where in God's green earth does anyone look at a performance like C.ronaldo's and spew the bunkum u are both spewing?

beef na beef, agreed but when its illogical its dangerous to your mental faculties. i suppose he also choked at the el clasico on saturday? cos barring the goal he scored there, u really could not say he played everybody off the park so?

abeg abeg, esp starboard, dont go down this path, u earned urself some respect on this board, dont throw it away saying things like this. FFS, penalty shootout at the CL semi's ?
by your estimation i'd like you to list 3 A class marquee players who are guaranteed not to miss a pen in these conditions? did u even see drogba at the nations cup?

fact is i blame whoever selected the pen takers. you can always bank on marquee players to miss their pens in those type of situations


BTW if thats choking, messi must be dead and buried then abi?

truth is: i fail to see what specs will be announced such as to move mankind

already these phones are more than capable. announcing a quad core phone when barely any app uses more than a core is ridiculous.

ditto 2gb ram!! for wetin na. short of an ips screen what could they be bringing to the game that is so compelling?
ICS is the same everywhere.

Chizzybenjamin: Can a Window OS for HTC HD7 fone b converted to Android?
Can any1 in d house help?
The windows os sucks joor

not that i know about. no

if u Bleep up eehn, walahi i go nack u akpako seriously

just take care of bayern, and shut dayokanu up and a double is guaranteed

dayokanu: Now that Chelsea has come back from 2-0 with 10men at Nou Camp

Hope these useless GAYYners would stop making stoopid excuses about Van persie red card last season as the reason you couldnt get a shot on target

Y'all were simply not good enough

NA YA FAULT? na bendtner cause all this opata from ur mouth. if he didnt miss the chance on 89th minute similar to what torress did convert ysterday, we would have done the same and dumped them out.

anyway...... hope u prepared to get thrashed tonite #MadridIsBack

This was not about management. This was not about tactics. The fact that victory will likely earn Roberto di Matteo the permanent job should worry those Chelsea fans who can see that he has merely unified and re-empowered a set of players who were always capable of nights like these. He has not taught Cole to stand tall, Ramires to run, Ivanovic to sacrifice everything for the cause, Lampard to show discipline or Drogba to be simply immense.

Terry's idiocy made that second-half performance the only option. They had no choice but to play a 6-3 formation (with Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou as supplementary full-backs), they had no scope for anything but backs-to-the-wall heroics, even if they proved ultimately fruitless. It was all about desire and sheer bloody-mindedness and absolutely nothing about planning.--- BBC SPORT

^^^
could u please speak english?

always grammer and high sounding rubbish.

mmcf, something pipeline, phantom megawatts.

y dont these mumus try doing something first then talking later

we don hear.

truth is u really dont have to.

i dont know how good the devs on the desire s boards are, but if the phone and stock os is anything like the one for my phone is,
and if the devs are as good as the ones for my fone are

bruv, u are missing. but then everyman wan go heaven, but nobody wan die

enjoy jare, dont mind us........ CHICKEN!!!! POOHSIE

26th.

hoping it works fine in virtualbox. our new office sysad has locked down the pc's and i dont want to start a war with him. seems the only way i can avoid this terrible windows plague is virtualization. shudders!!


BTW i tried to run puppy in vbox, seem to have issues with video card. havent managed to install guest additions in it and the monitor resoulution seems to be strange to the virtualbox (1600 by 900)
i find the res strange too but what can i do

joy of using your own hardware. toying with getting a laptop for office but the useless sysad has decreed/deceived the managment to ban personal hardware from the network.






so far i have been taking my revenge by little acts of defiance and destruction. he does not know i now know the admin pc's password and the server passwords.

he setup static ips on the LAN and i deliberately changed them lastweek when he went out to lunch. fool was actually troubleshooting people's computer for about 15 mins before it occurred to him that the IP's had been changed and the centralised printer was deliberately offline.
he couldnt accuse anybody cos well, who knows the passwords? plus i generally petend not to know anything myself anyway

puskin: How many times do I have to say it............I always said that I must enjoy my stock ROM for @least 6 months before I even think of doing anything like rooting or flashing.
U think that my fone is Samsung where u can just plug to lappie....deploy rooting software and ur rooted.
........or is it my fault that Samsung stock ROM no sweet like HTC own.

the Nigga is just a poosie.... thats all, poosie....

quit already...we do hear ur excuses, excuses, excuses.. tell us a new one. like u scared!!

As unromantic as this next point is, it is wholly practical. 8th and the Carling Cup and FA Cup? Or 3rd with no trophies? As sad as this is the equation is:

8th + 2 cups = £1.9m in prize money from the cups

3rd = £20m in Champions League revenue.

The five-place gap in the table also adds up to around £4m more prize money (£800,000 per place as far as I can ascertain via Google) going to 3rd than 8th. So the financial gap is approximately £22m. (Or a Stewart Downing). There is also the "best players want to play in the Champions League" argument as well of course when it comes to squad strengthening.

So, as exciting as winning trophies is, and as a Gooner I am envious, the practicality is that 8th for a club with the outgoings and aspirations of Liverpool is a failure being masked by cup success. I would anticipate that this is also the thinking of the owners, who stated at the start of the season that they wanted Liverpool back in the Champions League - and I don't think their motivation was all about the glory.

is this true? are those figures accurate?

lawd we are in deeper shite than i thought. at this rate we are never gonna see a trophy again

Evils!!

sniff sniff, whats that smell? oh ok, its just a cockerel on fire.

won ti lanaa bigtime

DATA MANAGEMENT.!

1. ROOT YOUR PHONE!
honestly, if u dont and cant root your phone, most of this tips cannot work for you. i cannot help you.
and please for the love of God STOP COMPLAINING!


2. INSTALL DROIDWALL APPLICATION
the app requires root access!

its is a firewall application. you can use it to specify which applications have access to data at any time and which do not.
frankly this is all i do this days. i choose my apps, apply the firewall and forget about the rest. no further tweaking.

i have opera mini, twitter app (i stopped using ubersocial because it tries to load adverts, and even though i have adblock on, it still tries and keeps polling the battery), whatsapp, nimbuzz and yahoo mail (configured to check for mail every 2 hours).

if and when i need to use other apps i either open the droidwall app and add it to the whitelist, or just disable the app entirely.


OTHERWISE OR IN ADDITION=


3 INSTALL ADFREE

its a ad block app, requires root.
most of the free apps you use rely on loading ads for revenue for the dev, your browser also load apps, some apps are terrible eg ubersocial.

install this and run. just like adblock on your desktop browser this saves you data and battery life too.


4. INSTALL A DATA MONITOR APPLICATION.

just so u can check how much data ur actually using. some come with a function wherein u can specify how many mb u will consume before the app cuts off your access. that way u can limit your use

5. UNINSTALL SOME APPLICATIONS.

truth be told, you really do not need some of the apps you have. neither are u in a position to actually use them unless you have access to unlimited data or a good wifi. e.g youtube app



6. DISABLE AUTO UPDATE/ DO U POSITIVELY HAVE TO UPDATE EVERY APP EVERY 2 DAYS?
Its an option in your google play/market app!! do u have to update EVERY one of your about 60 apps every 3 days when updates come out?
why not schedule those for when you get free wifi or tether to anor source of data?


7. DEBLOAT YOUR PHONE
esp users of HTC and Samsung. those custom skins are just a pain in the arse. some come with useless apps that constantly access data


8. REMOVE OR TONE DOWN THE BLING

all the fine big boi posing with your phone is hurting your pocket, yet u come here to bore us with your tripe. all those weather widgets, twitter widgets, facebook etc etc. the SPB shell 3d etc that you are using to pose to your friend and chick come at a cost.

they are guzzling your data and using your battery!
please be smart or stop boring us jare.




maybe someone can find a way to sticky this post and always refer th noobs and complainants to this when they show up. i for one am sick and tired of people who buy full specs smart phones yet complain that its using data!! is it supposed to consume air?
the new Nokia phones with the always on apps and widgets etc, dont they consume just as much? or are we to live in the world of s40 forever becase your broke ass cant afford to use a smartphone wisely.

i can run my fone on 200mb a month and still be fully functional

DATA DATA DATA

how are u using the phone?

is facebook syncing every 10 minutes?

is twitter too?

are u using your desktop class browser to load full webpages and u think its a phone it should not take as much?

is ur gps/maps on and syncing live?

are your numerous apps that have access to the data constantly doing stuff in the background?

are u watching youtube through the app or the browser? na water e go use work?

are ur chat apps permanently on as per big boi emulating BB user?



have u heard of the application called droidwall?

have u thought of switching off autosync?

have u thought of using opera mini at times when u dont require javascript or flash?

have u thought that at times it may be prudent to switch off ur data till u need it, thereby saving data AND battery?


the OS u have with u is not symbian series 40. its a full fledged os capable of being used on a desktop pc.
do u complain like this with your desktop pc data plan?

:trolldad:

toba: u guys goes from trusting Mourinho, Avram Grant, Guus Hindink, AVB, flipe scolari and now RDMatteo. may God help una
