Artificial Intelligence

The only thing that will be updated is security updates. Or if you got the guts upgrading to feisty alpha.

I'm just a bit baffled. I know Firefox 2.x is bugged (afterall it was a beta they put in edgy). But I havn't seen any posts about the other issue you have.

Okay, no problem.

Mine too

By the way I made a howto to compile it on Ubuntu for those who are interested: http://gaming.gwos.org/index.php?option=co...7&Itemid=63

You might want a newer version of Java. The sun java version 1.5.x

I read somewhere that changing the color depth from 16 to 24 should solve firefox crashes.

Yup, here it is: http://gaming.gwos.org.

Go to their download page for a Mandriva .rpm package - else there's the usual source to compile from.

Strange....out of curiousity, did you do dist-upgrade or clean install?

I've used same apps like you listed (except firefox, epiphany user here B) ), and never had a crash.

Well, I have seen several Linux users at fedoraforum switching from SUSE to fedora. I guess there are also a lot of people who switch from SUSE to Ubuntu (or yet another distro). But there will be a core of die-hard users that will use Novell and SUSE, no matter what deal Novell will make. The Novell/MS deal will surely hurt SUSE and Novell with respect to their userbase but not as much as some people expect imho.

 

For me, SUSE was a no-no already before they became a part of Novell. But that is another story.

I can sign that. Alot of ex-Suse users have entered the Ubuntuforums at the moment.

Never experienced any bugs considering all kind of stuff I ran on it. Other than Beryl which are non-official an are in alpha stage. But alot of new stuff are being tested in Edgy also things that are marked beta. Mark have the devs free hands on edgy to play around with it to test all kind of new stuff.

About the sudo issue people here are complaining about; I have both used su and sudo and prefer sudo alot more, but I think it's a habit issue mostly and what people are used to.

Flash Player 9.0 beta two is out!

If you need any help when the time comes I put myself to your disposal. Though I'm a ubuntu guy and not kubuntu I do know my way around (as long it doesn't have someting to do with wireless).

Balmer = and have always been

I think we'll see a massive boycutt of Suse and Novell from the linux world. Novell have just sold their soul to the devil.

If you tried the game, you know why ;)

It's the strangest FPS game I've ever tried (in a cool way). And it's not a game you play when there's children around.

Just look at the features of Postal 2 share the pain (part of the package):

• 22 maps of fully explorable enviroments!

• Truly depaved weapons like Antrax-filled cowhead!

• Highly flammable maching bands (a fan favorite)

• Berserk elephants mashing helpless bystanders into paste!

• Kick Gary Coleman's ass!

• 14 twisted multiplayer enviroments!

• 25 insane playable characters including Gary Coleman and Osama Bin Laden.

• 17 outragous teams including Team Taliban!

• SNATCH: Fight over incredible Postal Babes!

• Make your own mods with cutting-edge technology!

Rude'n'mean this game is a p***** machine.

One of the most disgraceful games is out again with all the cool stuff, mods and new features: POSTAL FUDGE PACK!

Using Fedora makes me realise why I like Mandriva so much. I have all I need in the repo's. Even Fedora doesn't have everything. win32-codecs for one, no rpm install, you have to use tarball. OK, no great problem.

 

I wanted joomla the other day, nope doesn't exist in Fedora or even the livna/freshrpms repositories. Yet it exists in Mandriva's! :P

 

Don't get me wrong, I like Fedora, but I like the availability of being able to install packages easily, regardless of whether it's urpmi/yum/pacman or whatever. I only want to go to source/tarballs when it's really necessary.

 

For me, I think I have a good classification. Fedora for work, Mandriva for home.

Sure Fedora must have a PLF source to added into the repo?

Is it normal that the services list is so short?

Aye, Ubuntu/kubuntu is setup to run minimal things by default and not to have everything turn on. But you can easely make the list huge if you want ;)

I'm not much into Kubuntu or KDE for that sake, but you can also check Ksysguard (isn't that the name of KDE's System monitor?)

gimp isn't as innocent as well :P , but not as "bad" as bitch X.

Would you use Linux distro with a file structure like this, if a distro used it (other than gobolinux ofcause)?

Hehehe I know ^^. BUM = Boot-UP Manager.

Install bum, I think it's in the universe source. Though it's with GTK2 engine.

There's already a new beta version out now for the next driver. Ubuntu users shall check here if they want to install it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296933

hmmm...Usually I install gsfonts-x11 and msttcorefonts, then sudo fc-cache -f -v and a restart of X then things are running smooth for me.

If you were using XGL prior to this release, I highly suggest attempting to change to AIGLX since these drivers support it, and it doesn't require you to have XGL (the modified X server) installed - you just use regular X.org

Ok, I'll look into it.

you guys'll disagree, but i've seen one case where a machine i administer behaved worse after the updgrade that i installed yesterday. we backed that machine down to an older release.

Still using 9626 beta, and had absolutely no problems with it- so I fail to see why the final could turn out being a lemon...

I,too, have a fairly new nvidia card ( 7600 GS/256 MB).

Same here with (so called) newer card; 6600GT 256mb

Works like a charm, it's the best nvidia driver release IMHO. and still works with beryl (and games ofcause) so I'm happy!

By the way I love the new nvidia logo that appear when you log into X.
