View 4 RepliesI'm not a technically minded person but have been reading around and found that there seems to be a stable version of Grub 2.[URL]... As I'd rather not be using beta software for something as critical as the boot loader does anyone know how I'd set about installing it.

The problem is I still want the Stable version of Chromium, and I want the developer version of Chromium not the beta release.

I installed Jessie with the RC1.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a big fan of ZFS on FreeBSD (I've been using it on my home server since before it got stable; bleeding edge, baby!) and I'd like to try out btrfs to see how that's evolving. Since it's still largely in development, none of the usual mainstream distros have btrfs as an option. I haven't used Linux in a bunch of years, so I don't really know what my best options are for giving btrfs a try.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a low-demand home desktop user concerned mainly with OS stability and simplicity. Current setup is dual-boot PC with Ubuntu10.04+Mint9. I use my PC mainly to write, using Word on Wine. Even more boring: I connect to net via external dialup modem. Both Ubuntu10.04+Mint9 seem excellent but have tons of features I don't need.
Is there a distro that will trade off advanced features in exchange for stability and reliability? I've read that Mepis is among the most rock-stable distros, with no attempts to be cutting-edge. Is this the case? Is there another distro emphasizing stability and simplicity? Must be a simple install, like Ubuntu+Mint. Must work well with Wine and dialup.
I am a Linux newbie using fc11 and wireless broadband from 3G for my personal laptop. Sometimes my download speed is up to 100+ kB/s (due to my observation from using yum command) and also there is time its only 5.6 kB/s. Its really slow. At first, I disabled automatic update so that it can work faster. It does work faster for a while and then the speed drops to around 11 or 12 kB/s.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using network-manager-pptp to create a PPTP VPN connection in my Ubuntu virtual machine for a while now, but I have constant problems with random disconnects. I don't know what the cause of the problem is, but I suspect that network-manager-pptp is not the most well-written piece of software around...
Is there another way of instantiating PPTP connections in a more robust manner? The same PPTP server works reasonably OK with Windows 7 (some disconnects, fewer than in Ubuntu, and Windows has an auto-reconnect feature).
I read some guides on using the pptp command, but they all seemed pretty low-level, messing around with ppp. I never found the time to figure out how it all was supposed to fit together. Has anyone accomplished what I'm trying and is willing to share the knowledge?
EDIT: Tried kvpnc, and it seems the stability is more or less the same as network-manager-pptp. The error message is "Modem hangup".
To clarify, I understand that the connection can go down, but I want to be able to reconnect automatically when disconnected.
I am looking for the best sources.list there is for Debian/Lenny Stable,I got the following from the website of sources.list generator, but I am not convince because for the last 6 days I did not got any update to do, my system been for 6 days straight up to date so, I am not convince at all because it is odd, here is my sources.list:

1. after standard installing opensuse 11.3 update and install the opensuse softwareupdates
2. install with the yast software re/installer:

u dont need to change the menu.lst after all, only u get many problems. run the midnight commander and delete the nomodeset word and the noveau driver would be normally still active after reboot.
What are some major rolling release distros? I know I've heard Debian testing is/can be, is this just a matter of changing "code-name whatever" to stable/testing? Arch was good but it just seemed a little to bleeding edge for my tastes (Though the documentation is far and away the best I've seen) What are some other rolling release distros?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've never really had a problem with ubuntu 9.4 and 9.10.In 9.10 I even used KDE 4 and even that went quite well (for being KDE 4). I have never had a freeze or crash in Ubuntu 9.4 and 9.10, and had been using those for 9 months or so. But ever since I upgraded to 10.4, many things went wrong. I think it's less than a month ago since I upgraded. Remember that I've never had freezes or crashes in 9.4 and 9.10.
Now so far I've had:
-2 times suddenly the mouse lags and I have to reboot
-1 time the screen went black and I had to reboot
-1 time KDE4 was acting strange, constantly giving messages about that it was going to disable composite rendering due to being slow. Yes, the system was slow indeed. Had to reboot.
-less stable KDE4.4 than the KDE4.3 of ubuntu 9.10: the new KDE4 version did more weird things like moving around icons when never asked for and being generally unstable
-many, very many, problems and obvious slowness due to nepomuk and virtuoso-t
-I installed KDE 3.5 after the KDE4 problems above happened. But in KDE 3.5 I've ALSO had mouse lag (after pressing "ok" on a window about installing updates).
-I use this OS mainly for Java development. The upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4 ruined all JDK 1.6 related packages and provided no easy way to install them, so I had to do it manually.
With Ubuntu 9.10, working productively went much better than with 10.4.I mean, ever since Windows 98, I've never seen anything as unstable as KDE4.4 on Ubuntu 10.4! I mean it, with what I've encountered, this comparison is really fair imho.Did anyone else experience that Ubuntu 10.4 is less stable than 9.X, or am I the only one?

Trying to get the thunderbird localization working I briefly checked thunderbird 3, to see if it had the same issue. Now, the problem is, I accidentally installed new versions of Firefox 3.5 and XULrunner. If I remove them, then many other packets get removes due to dependencies. Same if I try to force version. If I simply remove the repos, then synaptic reports them as broken. Is there anything I can do to solve this? How stable are the updated versions? How often do they get updated?
