see all dis ones! all this una conspiracy theories, today na mason, tomorrow ogboni, next amorc, after witch, small na boys scout

una no dey ever think? y una like fables and long stories? it makes u feel better that successful pple are in some sect or cult and that is why they are rich? LOSERS, BRAIN DEAD LOSERS, open your eyes naw, hw does being a mason automatically translate to record sales, na masonry come put hand for pple pocket remove money buy album? haha!

the bible refers to pple like u all as those who have given themselves over to false stories and genealogies, appointing themselves teachers to feed the their blind stupidity.

shey u kuku knw that the christian church was once a secret cult according to the powers that be? that there was a time in history when the church was hunted, which was the precursor to that story about the knight templars? and that those templars are supposed to be the ones that metamorphosed into this your mason?

tseew, una no get work, if me and my best friend gather say we form club and a third mugun, lets call him u, comes along and asks us what our club is about and we evade him, give him some long list of requirements to join our club promising him heaven and earth and make some regalia make up some stupid ass ritual like bowing three times, we don turn secret cult abi? pronto


UNA TO MUMU, na so the fable that its some roundtable that decides what goes on in naija, who becomes president bla bla bla, only a slowpoke would believe that tale, shey dem project the last 15 years sef? in ur mind?

OLODO, ok so every rich man na cult member or mason or wateva, i guess thats why they are rich and u r poor and spend time discussing them? MUMU

you cannot get genuine broadband OTA, it must be wired, no let mtn deceive una oooo! and starcomms infact all of dem, wayo pple

Lol! No need actually. Am using it bec of workplace risks, viruses etc and monitoring. Since i found dt my oga n d daft syseng he has just didnt knw anytin abt linux, i don dey look 4 option. Dis thing is cool. Amazing but basic. Truly its meant 4 on d road use.

D major prob wit linux are d geeks, yet dey r d life of linux.
Wen i got d hang of dis it was far 2 easy though d geek tuts were pretty confusing.

U can install dis anywhere, in anytin, infact ebano.

Though i dont tink installing is d rite word wen u can copy 2 files, enter 3 lines in a bootloader n u hav a fully functnal system!

As per d dew, wasnt me o, lol, though id give anytin 2 get vpn n tor running.

Relly nice option 4 winblows avoidance, see as pple dey rush make i help delete virus frm dem flash lol lol

oooooohhhhhh dat shot toooo wwwooooowwwwwooooo, dat puppy fine pass like dat. ok again

my new baby, sorry, puppy. hehhehehehehehehe!

sound is low? then increase the volume naw!!!!!! go into ctrl panel, check the sounds thingy, look through the damn thing and increase the volume naw!

@ flickering screen, its a known issue with hp/compaq. not sure but it seems to be a problem with the board and flex, i dont know for a fact that its repairable. see a tech who says he can, dont pay him unless he actually does rectify it.

@laptop charger i take it that you have tested the charger elswhere for u to be so sure? if so, y not test the battery elsewhere too. if batt too is ok, u need to examine the port where the chager plugs in on the board, u may have a loose leg on the board.

otherwise, the charging circuit on the board is messed up, u have a dead component that must be changed, either way, talk to a competent techie, this is not sumtin u can do on ur own. if the batt does not charge elsewhere, i think u knw the answer. OR ARE U SAYING THE BATT DOES NOT HOLD A CHARGE? in that case the batt has to be replaced.

@honsule where is einstien now pls?

Its kuku 1 my bro. 1 card. Its a p3 odawise id hav put ubuntu on it. Office too stingy 2 buy beta hardware.

Bluetooth i heard works cos on murga-linux.com, 1 mod is swearing ova evrytin dt he built d bluetooth .pets n they work.
Not 4 me they dhdnt. I installed it but it didnt work. I checked d dependencies n saw it was asking for wat id already installed.

Abeg, not bad 4 a small distro sha.

D grub dos thingy looked like it worked sha. Tanx weaver.

I sha sumhw trial n error made it boot. Bummer is sound is acting up. Works, wont work next boot, d alsa prog notwithstanding.

Then even worse it wont mount a flash no matter hw i try. D winblows works fine. Flash ok

Wonder o, if i rmbr, e be lyk wen on livecd n see am. Well, Na my main reason b dt o, all d flash wey dem go dey bring 2 copy stuff.

Den i install some pets, some work, some won't, esp bluetooth!

ok just explain this part, i installed the windows back, then booted the pupy cd, did a frugal install, then this time it refused to wrie to the mbr when i wanted to, how am i gonna be booting the frugal?

if i say i understand u, na lie i lie.

i even used the excuse of virus to format the pc today, made new partitions, one ext2 and one ntfs for the xp.
i installed the puppy to the ext 2 and wanted to write grub to mbr, figured if xp overwrites it shld see the puppy but if not i repair the grub ntry to add xp. now the puppy refuses to write mbr saying its not a linux fs, its ext2 o !

i dunno jare, even where the thing d thing install i could not boot it unless with the cd!

Ah weaver, thanx jare, i don solve d sound ish. I took it from d base, unloaded all d sound stuff n started ova. I found dt d alsa still didnt work bt oss did so am ok wit dt.

Wat i need help wit is d puppy ish above. Then i want to use it @ work on d office pc wit winblows, am tired of free virus evryday. If i do frugal, hw do i combine wit xp. I cant write d mbr obviously, i dont want to boot cd all d time n i really not lookin 2 d ram stuff all d time. Its not my pc. So if i resize xp 2 make space 4 it where do i go from there? Install 2 hd, hw 2 boot witout cd n hw not to run on ram all d time.

Long thing shey?

@ weaver it aint funny jare, am still sore, tseew, kai!

anyways pls sum1 shld help me b4 i throw the damn lapie at a wall! i decided to install mint ( to save time, i dont have the time these days at least not till dec it seems) so i make new partitions, made a small one for the damn puppy this time, 1 home, 1 /, and installed mint on the /, made 1 swap too

i hope i got the idea right sha, cos the only partition that showed in the computer was the puppy partition!

now to the problem, i did the modprobe thingy like i did with jaunty and added it to modules (this time it gave some strange pops and groans) anyways i rebooted and still did not have sound.

i ran alsamixer in terminal and saw all the mixer thingy, was able to move it and all that, was not muted.

checked the sound tab and saw that the card was recognised, had even been recognised from the onset b4 modprobe, strangely! so i checked and saw that i could increase vol and all but the speaker icon had a red x, apparently muted, clicking does not unmute!

wetin be dis 1 again oooooo! i go break dis pc oooooo!!!!!!


2.

i installed the puppy to hard disk but thot it wise not to write anything to mbr, now how do i add it to grub so i can boot into it also, and pls i do not want that thing all the time on ram!



SO BIKO @WEAVER AND ALL, MAKE UNA HELP ME OOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


@ LYNX, na yori yori u dey o!!!! i take it the updates helped? anyway, i tried the thing myself and it gave me no issues bar some jockey thing that was crashing, but when i think of all the work to get drivers, java etc, i change to mint. maybe when i get time i will install on my oda pc

Gawd, freakin absolute disaster! I was idle n was fooling around wit puppylinux, did a frugal install n was enjoyin maself. Dt puppy thing is veeeery confusing. I got a hang of it n was playing(took me a while 2 figure out i was runnin on ram in frugal. Then i decided 2 use d gparted dt comes wit it n create a new partition 4 it only 2 click d wrong thing n delete my allocation tables. Am still in shock! Disconsolate. I hav stuff priceless on dt pc!

D tool is d best way but if u hav drivers installed previously u shld remove them first.

Odawise add dis ppa to ur software sources- https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/libs


Put dt link in a browser address bar so u can get d pgp key for it on d site it opens, then install nvidia-180-modaliases in synaptic or software mgr. D drivers will then be in proprietary hardware thingy.

But did u check d synaptic 4 nvidia drivers? I rmbr in jaunty they used 2 be there.


Odawise u go to nvidia.com n download d drivers n install manually.

If i undastand u, u hav added d new ubuntu to d windows bootloader? If u hav n it boots leave it at dt.

Drivers 4 nvidia use d proprietory drivers tool, it will locate n download d drivers.

Am happy to hear u dnt hav screaming issues bt then u didnt upgrade. Apparently clean installs are not problematic.

2 do d grub thang u hav 2 use d live cd n d grub thang in terminal though am not sure bt i think u might hav 2 uninstall grub2. Which is asking 4 trouble.

check the device manaer if there is any bluetooth device listed and if the drivers are there. if there is and the drivers are there, then u propably havnt switched it on, there will be a hot key combination on ur key board that will switch it on. usually its the same button that switches on the wireless. may be anor. look at the keys on the board esp the number keys.

if there isnt any hardware for bluetooth listed in dev mgr, then u do not have bluetooth, if there is and it carries an exclamation mark, then u do not have the drivers for it, i hope u have the backup cd for the pc. look for the bluetooth software in it and install.

nah, pls for now do not attempt a triple boot with 9.10 ooooo!!!!!!
grub 2 does not support more than a dual boot for now. if u wanna triple bot, u have to soil and do some tweaaking to return togrub legacy.

the damn thing is giving too many issues, why not chill for like a month, by which extensive updates will have been made. for non intensive, or commited users i suggest waiting till mint comes out.

@ lynx, well just lets see.

average speed

were u referring to me? pls i do not engage in such juvenile pursuits. i dont even know how to edit a picture, i took those snapshots on my linux install after tweaking my pc properly. and just in case, for reference i went back the thread and copied my shots back then and will post them here again after which i will post my present speed on windows which is what am on now.

ps pls why is the name of ur latest shot "fixed.jpg"?

and i took the shots while downloading from mobilemovies. the server they use is quite gud. i cnt find some shots, this set happen to be the slowest at that period and yes it was naija 3g networks.

and the other file too. the x86, there should be a section for input devices like mice, u need to change the variable to true, then run terminal sudo apt-get updates, install evry update in sight and restart, we take it from there.

do not panic, ur system is alive, its having issues because there is a mix of old and new system files. whoever did the upgrade part of ubuntu is a very drunk fool
