PUSSSSYYYYYYKIN!!!

ha far nah, where u beenz deysh? u kuku jus 4get ur guy!!

whish kain screenie? e be like mtn don repent for ur end shey? the mast for my end get cholera. na wor wor speeds as usual!

go down into x to start vbox? aah, well evrything runs better when started from x though!!. u know u just gave me a great idea, i shld be starting my wine games from x. that way it uses all the grpahics card alone!!!

genius B-D genius.


hmmn anyway i have started learning how to run games in wine now o. currently playing 3 different NFS titles in wine!!!! not bad at all y'know!!

and it keeps getting better, gnome 3 is to use compiz instead of mutter!!!: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/unity-to-use-compiz-instead-of-mutter.html


and on a much more annoying note, also hearing that unity is gonna be the new desktop!!! i dont agree. its all good for the netbooks but for my desktop, i think i prefer what i have now!!! besides, its not really customiseable!! thats what i do, customize my desktop till it breaks


anyway, i dont have to upgrade, i dont have to, . . . . . . . . . . . . . till i see someone running it and that crazy itch starts again

i believe you should have updated the install immediately.

i remember there was a bug with the .25 kernel which an update came out for within 24 hrs. after release of 10.10

it really shouldnt be an issue anymore. u may try that. will look round for that bug sha, lets see what we come up with

the first poster made that post in 2006 was it? check the dateline, lol that was even on 5.04!!!!! 
im not sure at that time i even knew that linux had a gui desktop interface
if u read the first 3 pages im sure u would see a lot of stuff that are just hilarious looking back at it now, even the poster would definitely not say that now. bottomline is we grow in the unix world, our knowledge and perceptions then are different from now.     

but that statement is downright hilarious where is chxta sef? i think he meant as per useability sha!!


and yes i agree, if u wanna give a noob linux, you are much better off starting with ubuntu or any of its plenty derivatives. the terminal stuff just has to be learnt adopted, over time everyone tends to find out that the terminal is the best tool there is!



to other things i recently discovered BURG!!!  and its bye bye to that hideous grub bootloader screen!! hello beauty. (u need to be dual booting or multi booting sha o)

i recommend that you all try it. its nice, a proper screen for choosing what os to boot. i cant take screenies, cuz, well the pc aint started yet (haven't remembered to install virtualbox)'


just follow this tut: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/install-and-configure-burg-in-ubuntu.html

what i did is installed the .deb of BUC first.

then added the repos (the repos is further down in the comments section) for burg and installed
i think its better than doing manual .debs, besides it helps for updates and stuff!!

it installed and launched the set up thingy (PAY ATTENTION TO THE SELECT HARD DRIVE TO INSTALL PART) it should be in the same place your grub is!!
if grub is on sda, choose sda, not sda1

i think its real nice, has about 10? themes to choose from!!!

ok so mt elrazur the righteous jailbroke his HTC, his ipod, listens to ripped mp3's downloaded online, uses a pirated windows and God knows how many other bullshyte in his life!!

wakes up one morning, sees TP jailbreaking HIS OWN PS3 (as bought with his own money) and suddenly remembers piracy is bad, and how sony is being cheated bla bla bla!!

dude, it seems talking outta yer ass feels nice shey? SMH!!

dude, shut the fook up and go jump in a lagoon!!!!!



the dude IS NOT PIRATING A CD, HE IS NOT EVEN BUYING A PIRATED CD, he jailbroke HIS OWN PS3 to do what he wants to do with it!!!!!!! HIS OWN!!!!!

JEEZ SON of MARY< WTF!!!!!!!!! if u own a IPOD and it is jail broken then ur actually the worlds biggest ****. so i must live with restrictions on my own (as in personal property) hardware.

at this rate it will soon be wrong to change the spoilers on my own car!!!

when you read comments like some on this thread, it reminds you of how silly and futile it is to actually engage some of the people you meet online in a conversation.

just read up and marvel at the I.Q, or lack of it of your fellow Nlanders, anytime you wanna get into a tiff with anyone, remember this thread and direct your energies to much more fruitful pursuits.

@ tipsy, i suggest you try to install the macintosh os back on it!!!

how did you even get windows on it without bootcamp? i dont know of an active hacker movement for windows on mac hardware.

put what was on it back on it. simple. or what was wrong that leopard could not get on it and windows could?

instead of looking for ways to get windows to work, look for how to get the leopard back on it!!!! or is there something you have omitted to tell us? hmmmnn?

@ b-_-D i really do not quite get what you are saying, one you are apparently speaking right out of the blue, 2 who said ubuntu is between mandriva and fedora?
three some of your complaints i find curious, you mean you think a noob should be allowed easy access to admin privileges? a person who absolutely does not know anything in terminal be allowed to run cmds without any form of failsafe? YOU are the first person i know, who finds this strange. maybe u shld use puppylinux then!!!

the menu buttons are right where they are put!!! they were moved over in 10.04 (amidst complaints) but more crucially u can simply move them back to the right in gconf, or just use ubuntu tweak(that works for noobs like me!!)

i dont know of bugs and chipsets, are u trying to install on a SPARC?
sigh, flash DOES NOT crash firefox and chrome!!! i challenge you to refute that!! that would have caused such a hullabaloo everywhere!!

that i find these your complaints weird.
64 bit flash used to have issues but even that has been ironed out decently.

and as for shutting down buttons, are you sure ur install .iso is ok? how can you not be able to shut down with the button?

you are the first person i have heard all these complaints from in 2 years, and frankly i hope you are just trolling

cuz if you are serious, then put up PROPER complaints starting with the issues concisely and the hardware on which you have them.

also pls eliminate the obvious like test your .iso for errors and do a MD5sum on it too!!


frankly for someone who claims not to be a noob, your complaints are shocking!!!!!

aiiight, thanks.

@ v3 i uninstalled the card, and did it over again, now its fine. actually i eventually found it was the ram that was causing the issues, not the card. i suggest u run memtest on the ram.

if u have ubuntu on the pc, choose the mentest option in grub. leave it for like 1 hr, once u start seeing red, the ram is bad

;d ;d ;d ;d ;d

hmmn well from what the canonical dude was saying, i guess they are looking at QT, without the baggage, (all the talk about simplicity)

anyway, it wont be a bad idea, as long as its native and is fast!


anyways, anyone with background knowhow on how to set up a UPS with Ubuntu?
i got an APC, its old but it does its job well, as long as i change the batteries.

i found some packages for ubuntu/APC and installed them but as far as i know i could as well be deceiving myself. am presently consulting google, but some of the stuff i see am not encouraged to try. i dont like messing with important stuff like power management when im not sure the proffered solution will work, or not break my system.


any pointers?

for one, the ups simply uses a power cable to get to my pc, im seeing stuff like usb connections stuff online, sorry how do these stuff work?

hummn, the pad DOES work I THINK!! i believe it gets recognised and all that, but actually getting a game in which to use it is what is befuddling.

heard sumtin about mapping somewhere, for me makes no sense. the games themselves dont have settings that include gamepads, or do u know anyone that does, let me try it

i cant seem to use it in the games is what i found out. oh ok, i cant really remember now but i even downloaded the snes emulator once with a couple of snes roms and i really cant remember now if the pad worked in that, was abt 2 months ago

HEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!

manure fans oooooooooooooooooooooooo LWKMD!!!!

u mean y'all naw suddenly happy shrek aint going no more?

i can bet my arse somebody armtwisted the ugly bugger into staying and the soap opera has just begun, watch this space!!!

what were you pple so scared of? there aint no more strikers in the world who can score a goal but shrek?


I bet  SAF heard that it was going down with citeh and decided to save face at all costs.!!!!

THIS WILL NOT TURN OUT RIGHT, i can bet on it.  the dude aint the brightest but any footballer knows you dont cross certain lines unless u ready to go, he did and now suddenly he wont go no more?    im thinking the agreement is "shut up and lets arrange a transfer overseas to a non- rival club, we dont need the drama and the disgrace from u u ingrate" hands shaken!!!

i really think its hopeless that there are clubs who actually think the world will end when 1 illiterate ugly footballer wants to go. . . . GO PLAYER POWER!!!

Fergie is just a bloody muppet!!!

where is lynxnoon?

i can now surf in WINE o!! i believe all those apps we used to bitch about should now work.
i installed a lot of the .dlls in winetrick in fact i marked everything and installed that which would and i tried instaling opera in it and it worked!!

this is running opera in wine, as u can see the fonts are a bit funny, im not sure i know how to fix that, i already did the corefonts for wine too so. . . . . .

nah, evil brain, brovar is just really into the KDE movement, he does'nt mean to start anything nasty im VERY VERY SURE!!

i can tell you that you cant find a better, much more committed advocate of Open source, man you need to read some of his old posts on NL, going toe to toe with some windows advocates, man those were enjoyably feisty

funny thing is he is actually one of the pple that served as motivation for me, he and Blackweaver, esp blackweaver sef, massive bloke.



anyway, pls who actually know how to use WINE? i have been dabbling into it these days, i wanna run some games. i find that some work, like Need for speed, but the display is all wierd and all that.

i tried their wiki and i really dont understand them. i believe some apps work with particular versions of WINE? how to manage them is a bit of an issue.

i have tried using the winetricks script to install some stuff, it has been failing some install other fail. playonlinux is even worse. i see a large number of games supposed to work via playonlinux, but i cant seem to be able to set one up.


i need someone to guide me with this ish, i find im having to put windows xp on my pc just to play games.

NB: why is it that linux games dont work with game pads?

whether he wants a move for money o, or for fecking peace o, or even for any gaddem reason under the sun, HE HAS A RIGHT TO MOVE!!!!!!


jeez, ok so now its because its manure now, manure is a victim?

maybe you pple should go back to reading the reports all those years ago when rooney moved from everton!!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF LESSER CLUBS!!!! now u pple are further down the money ladder you see what its like.

this is the kinda shyte pple like wigan etc have had to put up with over the years from clubs like manure!!!!

even this rooney sef, till tomorrow, evertonians give him a lot of stick, matches at goodison are a no-no. but that time he wanted to come to utd, shebi it was this same lines about money and ambition/winning trophies. . . . . . . so why is it now so painful for yer lot?


now that abu-dhabi billionaires can shyte on you pple with cash, you are suddenly victims? and the player is now a mercenary? he was'nt when he came over shey?

or what do you think happened to wigan when you pple signed their best player, valencia? THEY FELT LIKE YOU FEEL NOW!!!!! SMALLER CLUBS ALWAYS HAVE!!!!



rubbish, u come dey post holloway comments, so its now that bosman ruling is bad? in this day and age that dumbass thinks its right that clubs be able to enslave footballers and hold on to them, force them into perpetuating contracts?



PUT YOUR SELF IN A FOOTBALLER'S SHOES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE COMPELLED TO STAY IN YOUR CURRENT JOB FOR LIFE EVEN IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE?

the dude owes you pple no reason whatsoever, his error was in trying to give one. he shoulda kept shut and be looking at you. and you cant even accuse him of cheating the club, he gave stellar service, and has even notified the club early so they can still make money off his transfer. . . . . . . . . . DEAL WITH IT!!!!


NB: who are those jobless asses in front of his house, lawd have mercy, manure fans are

Onyeka Onwenu songs links needed. iyogogo esp, that song is spiritual when heard in the morning. YAW of wazobia won me over with just that song alone!!!

whats all the hate for?

the way you man utd pple go about this issue is amusing at times sef, DOES HE HAVE TO BE TIED TO UTD FOR LIFE?
did utd pay for his life?

dude whether you like it or not, the chap is an individual, he is a worker earning a wage!! he has the right to want to work anywhere!!

jeez, this is like saying you must stay at your present job for life, whether you like it or not!!

NB: me thinks the mistake he has made is try to cook up a reason, HE DOESNT NEED TO GIVE Y"ALL A REASON!!! he wants to move period!!!


is he owing MUFC some money? sure he is contracted, so u have the choice, force him to stay till the contract expires and he will leave, or allow him to leave now!! (with gain i may add) either way he will leave!!

funny thing is if the roles were reversed and its the club that wants him out maybe cuz he is old, y'all wont be yarning jack!!!! tseeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

all the banners, hate messages etc are just plain out wrong, stupid and misguided. a man cannot even stay perpetually married if he wants out sef, much less play football for someone for life!!


if una like jump inside lagoon, dude wants to leave, deal with it y'all and move on

^^^ english pls

is skysat a satellite that carries data, or skysat is a card? on which satellites can one use it for data?

explain in plain english, pls take ur time!

source pls? a link? i cant see that in guardian!

well the point is: Yagi antenna is used to pick digital TERRESTRIAL signals along with a digital terrestrial receiver such as the one startimes and disc eng are selling

so is this SRT 4653X a digital TERRESTRIAL receiver or a digital SATTELITE receiver.

cuz if ur saying u use a yagi antenna with a satellite receiver, then bros the soup get sugar inside!!


NB is Disc Eng still functional?

dude easy easy!!!

but u do know that you are a guru! i dont even know 1/4 of the things u know abt linux!!

i dont find KDE agreeable, i know clearly that my posts on the subject are not very complimentary but also not offensive or bad either!

but then i also dont expect anyone to take my word for something like that!!!!


na wah for u and this your KDE o, me spreading fud? na no way!!

and its my right to complain when im not a desktop environment (this is a country with a constitution albeit useless)

NB i havent added it yet to my gnome install, that was a fresh install. and i did praise it too. . . . . . . . . .  a little

brovar really, CHILL!!!

DDR 1 RAM needed for Desktop PC. Large sizes 1GB, 2GB Modules.

chai, DDR 1 for desktops dey scarce oooo!!!!! plus no money

wo knows where i can definitely get and like how much. large size o, like 1 gb or 2 gb modules. CV is not useful in this regard except u know a specific shop there where i will get

blackweaver:
it has something about the hardware clock being set to utc (or something like that)
edit /etc/default/rcS and set UTC=no if you want ubuntu to use local time
(this is one of the things i find annoying about ubuntu; mint at least gives the option of decideing whether your hardware clock is set to local time or UTC when installing; but ubuntu just decides it has to be UTC)

wierd the UTC was already set to no!!!!!

@ muyi, well its cool and i agree about shotwell too. i usually get gimp to resize screenies and i was pleasantly surprised that shotwell does that even much simpler sef!!!

@ evilbrain, ur posts aint visible

anyway undoubtedly linux is the shyte. the latest minitube client is the ish man.

i think the fact it doesnt use flash makes it work better sef, its so smooth and had no buffering wahala!!! chei. plus there is now a download option button

use the webud8 ppa to get it

PUSSSYKINNNNN!!!!

na wah o, see tell dat dude to intergrate that your unicode thing for the koko, make we see how far!!!
