[Eug-lug] Ubuntu 8.10 CDs

If anybody would like a copy of the new Ubuntu 8.10 release (Intrepid Ibex) but is hampered by a slow Internet connection, I'm happy to burn you a CD-ROM on request. I've got the alternate AMD64 image downloaded already, and can easily grab other ISOs via the torrent as needed. -- Hal Pomeranz,

Might. Depends on where it is. Might just take out one subsystem. On Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 10:09 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If it was a capacitor on the mainboard would the computer continue to > function after blowing the crud out?/ > Jim K// > /Garl Grigsby wrote: > > >

You may have blown a capacitor. Open up the machine and see. It would be fairly obvious. I can't see how this could be caused by ubuntu. Must likely a coincident. If it was on the radio, at least it's easy to replace. I might have a spare wireless radio around here somewhere. Odds are it was on th

Re: [Eug-lug] ubuntu xterm strangeness

It is quite alright. I remembered to bring home a new drive for my system finally. It's been giving me fits for a couple months now. The computer didn't actually hard lock for another few minutes after killing the process. That be all, Mr O. P.S. That's not all! There is still a lot of soda and p

Re: [Eug-lug] ubuntu xterm strangeness

Neil, I still think that profiling xterm will tell me a lot. I can run oprofile on Xorg too once I get that far. I'd like to see what function in xterm is making the call into Xorg. and where Xorg is spending its time when this occurs. -Mike On Mon, 2007-12-10

Re: [Eug-lug] ubuntu xterm strangeness

Sorry Mike. I thought I mentioned that I found this while running the DU command on another system. It is definately some oddness. I've just switched over to gnome-terminals for the moment while I try and sort this out. -Mike On Mon, 2007-12-10 at 18:33 -0800, Mr O wrote

Uh oh, damn it. Heavy thrashing does that every time. Thanks Mike. CPU never got near loaded but my hard drive locked again. Hopefully since my message sends while everything is still in RAM. Guess I need to break down and get that new drive I've been putting off. That be all, Mr O. --- Mike Cher

[Eug-lug] ubuntu xterm strangeness

I'm curious if anyone else has run across this issue before. I noticed this when I was booting a system attached to a USB serial device, but eventually localized the issue to xterm itself. Basically when you put a lot of text through an xterm the cpu usage on gutsy goes way up. like 100%. I've

Windows can in a pain to install as well. I've run into issues with OEM license keys and non-OEM install disks. I know people call the "Genuine Advantage" application "Genuine Disadvantage". I think some of the problem is people just want their computers to work. They don't want to have to dea

Re: [Eug-lug] Ubuntu Linux's Achilles' Heel: It's Tough To, Install On Laptops

The whole article was rife with FUD and conflicting statements. It starts by stating that none of the press about Ubuntu (or Linux in general) mentions the difficulties that may arise during install; he even contradicts himself in the very next sentence, "none of the Ubuntu stories--no Linux revie
