[QUOTE=InsanePyro;26507138]So recently I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and tried to run it on bootup thinking it had live capabilities. It did not. Instead it tried installing and messed with my partitions. Now my laptop won't load into Windows and it has a partition of 0 bytes and no Windows install disk even sees the hard drive on my laptop (it does however appear in BIOS). What the hell happened?
Also the drive itself is fine. I was able to put it in my desktop and get all important files off it. I just can't boot from it[/QUOTE]
You must've done something wrong since Ubuntu DOES have live capabilities.
And how the fuck did you manage to get it to install already?

Alternate Installation.

Well then something went super wrong because it sat at this screen for about 5 minutes before I restarted my laptop to get a "No Operating System Present" message

And what did I get to install? I'm typing this on my desktop

I was wondering where that was. Thanks.

uzbl browser. It actually uses webkit, but it has vi-like keybindings.
I think there is also a vi addon for firefox that will do something similar.

there is but it's a pain in the ass to use. a lot of the keybindings are different
Testing the vi addon. I've got more screen room and the style seems to match dwm nicely.
It's a hell of a lot less laggy than the mouseless browsing addon as well as it doesn't fuck up the parsing. I like this.
Is it possible to use a dock/panel that shows the tasks depending on which monitor they are on?
For example I have gedit and spotify open on my secondary monitor, is there a dock/panel I can use that would show those tasks at the bottom of my second screen while showing the tasks on my main screen on my main screen's dock/panel? (Sorry if this description is not very clear :v:)
I always use the scale addon in Compiz, it just shows all the windows when activated. I don't know about a Dock per monitor thing.
finally got arch installed on the p3 laptop I mentioned a while ago, but I cant seem to get wireless working. I'm using a PCMCIA wireless card from belkin, its really a ralink rt2800, so it shouldnt need any additional drivers, and all the modules it said to disable in the wiki are disabled. but when I use ifconfig wlan0 up I still get SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory. No idea what this means, I apologize if the solution is obvious to those more experienced than me, but I think I've done everything I can do on my own here.
I finally setup my git server properly.
I want to know how would use my git server as a central repo that me and a few friend will write to.
I've been looking at git-fetch and git-pull and what is see is that the repo is getting downloaded and merged or not. The thing I want is to always get the latest version of software when I retrieve data.
I would basically be me cloning when I start working and push at one point when I have a big chunk done. What would be the proper way of doing that?
Or, am I just seeing this the wrong way?

I've been reading up a bit. Basically, when I wan to make changes I would go and push, if it fails I'd pull and that would fix everything up.
Pulling from the central repo would actually do the job. I pull in the morning fuck around locally all day and push at the end of the day, if it fails I pull before pushing.
What you said would work, but you might want to have a separate branch for each person instead of having everyone push to master. The team leader can then merge those branches into master and make sure there are no conflicts.
That's a really good idea. Since we're a really small team (3 people) I think it's going to be less of a pain if we simply all push to master. I pretty sure we can handle our own conflicts.

This is similar to what I do for deployment to my server. Granted Git isn't the best for it, but I like the way it works.

WoW: Cataclysm nearly choked when it saw I had the nouveau driver. akmod-nvidia to the rescue.
I just finished my Java Final and I've been using my git server to do versionning. It's works really well.
I would call that a successful test run.
for some reason this debian install didn't come with a torrent client, was gonna burn knoppix onto a CD for school computers
gonna try out deluge, heard it's good
I tried deluge and I found it to be "meh". I works and does the job. It feel too bloated to me.
Quick Question, does Wubi support Multicore Computers?
Yes, but don't use it.
[QUOTE=Lego399;26585464]Yes, but don't use it.[/QUOTE]
Partitioning is a wanker.
Wubi looks nice.
You can get it to boot. You can then look at the OS. But help me god if you want to use the OS.
[QUOTE=Lego399;26585464]Yes, but don't use it.[/QUOTE]
What's wrong with it, because it's currently my only choice for compiling Chromium OS.

Why can't you use a livecd or a vm?
So, I installed Ubuntu on my computer after a complete reformat of the HD, and it's working great for my needs so far, except I don't have sound.
It's not the biggest issue, but I'd really like to be able to listen to music, videos, etc. My audio card is a Realtek HD ALC889A, and I've heard that the card is supported by Ubuntu by default. However, I don't even have the sound icon on the top panel that usually allows you to change volume and change devices.
When I run alsamixer, it shows this:

Anything I could do to fix this? I've tried solutions to similar problems with similar cards, but they don't seem to do the trick or I'm doing something wrong, I'm pretty new to Linux yet.

To change the sound devices, you press F6 in alsamixer and choose the device. To add to the panel, you should be able to right click and empty spot on the panel and click "add to panel" to get a window that shows extra things to add.
It looks like it already sees your sound card, so it should work. Enter in:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
and see if you hear anything.
