Hi, My uncle in Bengaluru took the bold step (yes, at 80+ it's bold!) of switching to Linux on his PC, discarding the assembler-installed Winduhs in the process. Unfortunately, he didn't consult me before doing so (he wasn't even aware that I know Linux), and ended up with BOSS Linux.
Now he's running into a few problems, mostly media and desktop related, which I can't help him debug remotely. Anyone near Jayanagar who can pop over to his place and help him sort out his problems? If you're reasonably familiar w/ Linux it shouldn't take you more than an hour or so. Specifically, he's unable to do the following: - View his encrypted PDF bank statements - Use his printer - Play DVDs and VCDs (totem refuses to open them) Apart from that he gets occasional screen freezes and vanishing icons, which looks like a hardware problem to me (though I could be wrong). A memtest should rule out or confirm bad RAM as a possibility, at least. Mail me for his contact details if you can help, Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
