How many people here bought a ps3 because of linux? Did it factor into your decision to buy the console? Would you have bought an XBox instead if the ps3 had no "other OS" capabilities when you bought it? Just trying to gauge the linux community's opinion on this.

I ask, b/c either way it is just a file on my laptop, regardless of the OS.
So, what does the community think?
A kind fellow Linux enthusiast told me about DrummerDP project grub24dos.
Here is two links to it.

Iam not on that level so I can only trust his words for it. He start up on MsWindows and install it from that OS.
He recommend one do a back up first in case something unexpected happen No warranty.
The very good thing is that it gives grub2 ability to boot isos on a NTFS formatted HDD. Isos that one otherwise had needed to place on a Ext2 formatted partition and that could serve those who want to preserve windows for Gaming?
Is there a secret button combination like a PC's F2 or Delete that forces an Xbox to boot from a CD?

I have a familial tremor and hope to use one of these devices to measure efficiacy of various medicines; since both devices use accelerometers, displaying output in either graphical or digital form could be a useful tool in determining whether increased dosage is useful in decrease of tremor. If this works, could be a lucrative business since large numbers of seniors suffer from tremor, palsy, Parkinson, and similar diseases.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi am in the process of setting up my wonderful slackware system on my laptop, and now i would like to make sure i am able to run as much multimedia as possible (to be up to snuff in this realm with mac and windows users). i am running slackware x86_64 version 13.0 with a full install (but only with the software sets a, ap, d, f, k, kde, l, n, x, xap, y) and have installed flash-player-plugin from slackbuilds.org.
recently i stumbled upon this website: [url] it explains precisely what i would like to know: which packages should i install to get a fully-featured multimedia slackware install (and in which order should i build/install these packages to take care of dependencies). i emailed the author to make sure this guide was up to date with slackware 13, but, sadly, it is not. it seems that mr. anderson uses slackware 12.2, and thus there may be inconsistencies between what this guide explains and what works on the newest slackware. for example, mplayerplug-in has been depreciated in favor of gecko-mediaplayer. i need to know if more of this has happened. i would simply test it myself, but i have been distro-hopping reinstalling repeatedly over the past few weeks for various reasons, and i am trying to avoid dirtying up my system too much and having to reinstall yet again.
so i ask of you, does mr. anderson's list apply to slackware 13.0, or are there any changes that need to be made? i ask because someone here may have already used this guide and may be willing to share their knowledge and experience on it. eric's vlc slackbuild is very interesting, and i plan to run that, so vlc and its dependencies are covered. my multimedia needs are not too demanding, but i do expect web media to work flawlessly. i often visit www.apple.com and watch movie trailers, guided tours, etc., so i need quicktime videos on the web to work. videos and online flash games already work fine with flash-player-plugin. i also visit some web sites that have windows media formats being streamed (.wmv and .wma).

I'm very new to linux and would like to build a 64-bit file server to backup my pc and laptop, I would also like it to have HTPC capabilities because it will be stored in my "man cave", where me and mates seem to hang out a fair bit. I've never built an AMD system before and would like this build to be AMD.
This is what I've come up with so far:
64-bit system:

CPU: Athlon II x2 255 3.1GHz
Mobo: ASRock 880GXH-USB3

I'm not sure about all this being compatible with linux, like the tuner, but I have read that you can get this working. I'm on a pretty tight budget so I can't upgrade to higher end components, but would like suggestions on components where I could save a few $$ or if any of these components are overkill.
I'd like to modify a linux distro, specifically Puppy, so that the drivers/mechanisms for mounting local HDDs and Networking is Disabled completely. A step further than simply disabling "auto-mounting" at boot time, I don't even want mounting to be possible (at least by default).Likewise, further than just disabling network devices, I'd like to remove the ability to use network devices. How are these "mounting" and "device drivers" mechanisms implemented, where are they, and what are my options?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto an older laptop for my boss. However, after installation I lost all internet capabilities... both through wireless and ethernet connections. There is zero indication that Ubuntu is picking up any wireless connections at all and when I plugged into an ethernet connection Ubuntu acts as if it is trying to connect, however unsuccessfully. I have eliminated the internet connection as my problem because I was able to connect with my laptop running 9.10 with no problem. I have searched and searched everywhere for fixes to this problem however 99% of them need an internet connection to install the required firmware and drivers... is there any OFFLINE solution out there?The computer is a Compaq Presario 2200 with a Boradcom Corp BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an internal PCI sound card, and I would like to find out what MIDI capabilities it has, if any. It is currently using the ens1370 ALSA driver. It has the standard Line in, Line out, and Mic jacks, as well as what appears to be a game port. I think it has some MIDI capabilities, because "cat /dev/snd/midiC0D0" does not fail with "no such device or address," but I don't know if it has MIDI input capabilities, or if it can synthesize, or what. Is there any way to tell?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid, I guess one of those upgrades was the tex engine, it was upgraded to texlive 2009.Though It can render everything I could render beforehand, I am having trouble about one thing. I cannot use the additional preferences that can be used to edit an image when using includegraphics function.
For example:
egin{figure} [H]
centering
includegraphics[width=0.7linewidth,angle=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
end{figure}
Used to rotate my ps file, trim it, then scale it as specified. Now, I get an error:
./Rapor.tex:59:Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted) ...e=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
If there is only [width=linewidth] tex doesn't recognize linewidth and prints:
./Rapor.tex:59:Missing number, treated as zero...includegraphics[width=linewidth]{example.ps}
and the output file has the text within the square brackets, rather than the image.
Somehow there is a problem or a change in how this usage is interpreted. I am using:
usepackage{float}
usepackage{graphicx}
packages that are related to graphics. I'm using Kile 2.0.85, but the problem is editor independent, I get the same results with Texmaker. I am using the exact same .tex sources that I used with Karmic.
What I've tried:
I installed texlive packages from scratch, with Kile.I changed the graphicx.sty file with a version that I found on the net.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a way a very lightweight MTA without network capabilities just for receiving local administration emails?I know I could restrict access, I was just wondering if there was something more lightweight designed purely for local use.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Lucid from Karmic and shortly before the release upgraded from a geforce 8400gs to my geforce GT240 and noticed no difference on Karmic. I read somewhere that the capability of video cards would be applied further with Lucid. Since installing Lucid I've noticed a severely reduced sharpness and severely increased contrast, changing the contrast in X server has no effect. My hardware driver is activated but not in use and no online fix I've attempted has been successful in resolving the issue. Is it possible to use a gt240 on lucid with no hassle and is there any way I can maximize my video cards capabilities?

View 4 Replies View RelatedBeen trying for a couple days know to get my laptop to work with my 360 so I can use the internet connection from it so I can go online. I access the internet using my Nokia E72(ppp0) and I intend to use the laptop's ethernet port for the 360(eth0).
Tried this out [url] and a bunch of other guides which I can not find right now. Running Debian Testing and have no idea what to do next.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with XBMC and am trying to use it to stream media to my XBOX 360. I can connect to it but it shows "No videos found" (same for music and pictures).
I can watch videos/listen to music/view pictures on my desktop so I am fairly sure the library is set up properly. I have samba set up and can view my shared media on my other desktop (running windows XP). I also tried using ushare, which worked but would not play very well.
I have tried all the setting in System-->Network, all to no avail.
Ive got my laptop hindered up to my xbox 360 it has windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. i realy want to get rid of windows and the only reason i keep it around is because ics sharing works realy well for connecting to xbox live.
I recently discovered that you can (ics) with ubuntu which is awesome only problem is
i cant figure out how to set it up to stop it having moderate NAT so i can play games that require an open NAT. its probably due to the ports not being fowarded properly or somthing and/or the face that my xbox needs a static ip placed out side the routers firewall on the DMZ setting .
I have ushare server connected to my 360 and its working fine, I can see my videos and watch them perfectly, but my music or mp3's arent displaying on the 360 properly at all.
In the video library it displays all the sub folders with the videos in them first and then the video files that arent in a folder, thats normal for me. But the music libray is only showing 1000 files and half of it is the album art jpg files etc. I have well over 30,000 mp3's and 98% of them are organised into folders etc.
Why its sharing my files in this way?
