I have a old comp with a pentium 2 ( 750 mhz) and another comp with celeron ( 1000 mhz). When downloading a distro, how do I know which architecture to pick?

Would you know of a free Windows-based disc burning software that allows the disk to be left after use, i.e. allows writing on it again.
nominate a disastrous distro from past or present that was simply AWFUL and what exactly was so bad about it?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a linux box set up as a multi-purpose server for my home with three Windows client PC's. The linux box is based on a slightly modified Slackware 9.0 distribution using Linux 2.4.20 and an unfortinately old, slow AMD processor with a miserable 512Kb RAM. The linux box serves the CIFS file system to the Windows boxes, runs the SQUID HTTP proxy, the Apache web server, a print server, does masquerading, mail serving and a very effective firewall using iptables.
This system, although slow, has run perfectly for several years.Let me say that again - This system works perfectly.I had decided that now is the time to upgrade the hardware, so I bought a Gigabyte LGA775 motherboard which has two 1Gb network interfaces on it, an ASUS 256Mb PCI-E display card, 2Gb of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Core2-Quad processor and a bunch of 500Gb SATA drives to set up a RAID5 array (but I intend that the system boot off one of several 40Gb PATA drives I have).I set up the processor, motherboard, display card, RAM, a SATA DVD Drive and a 40Gb PATA hard disk in a "breadboard" layout and installed distro 13.1, being careful to set up the static IP for the local network, dhcpcd to get an IP address from the cable modem (my internet connection) and to enable ip_forward in the network configuration.
Then I installed a script invoked by /etc/rc.d/rc.local which installed all the SAME iptables rules as my old Linux box. There was one minor glitch when I had to change 8 occurrences of "-d ! $LOCAL_NET to" "! --destination $LOCAL_NET" but that was no problem. I also set up /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts , the BIND server files etc. etc. exactly as in the old box.
I am able to ping mirror.aarnet.edu.au (this is at the heart of Australia's internet hub network - if it's down the whole bloody thing is down) and have the system find the correct IP from the designated nameservers and contact that server with a return trip time of 35ms. I am able to run a telnet session from one of the Windows boxes and edit files on the Linux server. So both network interfaces work and I've got them the right way around.I am able to run FTP on one of the Windows boxes and connect through to mirror.aarnet.edu.au, although it seems to hang when I try a DIR (but then so does the old linux system).
My Ubuntu 10.04 does not pick up my mp3 player via the usb port. The usb ports are working fine, picking up my storage device etc but when I plug in the mp3 player nothing happens, except that the device indicates that it is picking up power from the usb port. The device works fine on my other computer (Windows) and I tested it on another machine running on Ubuntu 10.04 where it picks up fine.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy question is how do I get a cron job to pick up the user's ~/.my.cnf? If the user runs the shell script, everything is fine. The cron entry has the same user run the job, and I've tried #!/bin/bash -l in the shell script with no success.
Here are the details:
I have a bash shell script that launches a Python program. The python program issues an external shell mysql -e command.
I don't want the python code to use use -u user-name -pMyPassword, db-name, because this is contained in ~/.my.cnf. The python code doesn't have to use these parameters if run interactively, but does have to if run from cron.
I'm running an HP Pavillion ZV6000, AMD 64 Athlon.I think that I'm not getting wireless because it never really shuts down. I've tried shutting down from the term (what I was used to from Damn Small) and it drops the window manager and then freezes on the black screen . . . I then have to do a hard shutdown (holding the power button).I've tried making sure that I don't have a USB stick in . . . shutdown wireless moduals, still the same.I'm starting to forget my keyboard commands, being that I am having to use windows to get on-line . . . like now!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am doing a new install and have 4 drives (2x500Gb and 2x2Tb). What I want is the OS on the 2x500Gb and the data on the 2Tb drives. The idea is to make the 500's one RAID 1 set and the 2Tb a RAID 1 set. I think the installer is trying to build the RAID set for the OS but the root is looking like a RAID 0 rather than 1. Is there some way to specify?

I've downloaded Asunder, but this seems very slow in comparison to other Windows-based apps I've tried.I wanted to try Sound Juicer, but unfortunately it requires some code to change from VBR to CBR @ 320kbps.
I am dualbooting Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and Windows 7 x64. I am using Burg instead of Grub2 since I like the nice graphical display for choosing which OS to boot. Unfortunately, after I turn on the computer from "shutting down" after a Windows session, it automatically chooses Ubuntu and doesn't let me choose Windows. (If I just "restart" after a Windows session, I can choose which OS I want to boot just fine).
After Ubuntu loads, I can restart and *then* I get the option of which OS to choose, but this is extremely frustrating to have to load Ubuntu then reboot just to get Windows. I am not using the OS Prober module (I disabled it, and have a manual entry in my 40_custom file for Windows).
I have 10.10 installed on my machine. I'm trying to install 10.4 on another partition. Install completes, but when I reboot, there's no entry in the grub menu for the 10.4 install. I tried adding an entry to 40_custom in /etc/grub.d, but it still doesn't show up. I'm pasting my 40_custom below.

I am using Unity 2D in a dated fujitsu sieamens laptop. I appreciate the speed and the responsiveness, but seriously... three clicks to pick a window? When you have 2 windows from the same app in different workspaces: When you have more than a window from a single application open in Unity 3D, you click on the app's icon in the launcher, and it will "scale" all the windows from the same app for you to choose. 2 clicks...
In 2D, click on the launcher, launches expo, showing all the windows, you choose the workspace containing the window you wanna go to, it zooms a little but (useless) sin the content of the windows is does not get rendered, then you click again and you are finally in your window... really..when you need to move through windows quickly this get painful. My suggestion is to remove the zooming "preview" part since it does not render the content of the windows, making itself useless.

I installed Skype onto my Toshiba Satellite running Karmic last December, and gave it a very successful test run. However, while video still works, and I can receive audio, the microphone does not pick up any sound. I don't think it could be a hardware issue- it worked so recently and my machine has experienced no tramatic events since, but I can't pick up any sound using Sound Recorder either. How could I go about diagnosing and fixing this problem?

I just loaded 10.10 onto a stock hp pavalion zt3000 and everything is running fine except it won't detect my college's wifi network. It picks up everything else and runs without a hitch.

I just got a Motorola Atrix yesterday. Figured I could just use Banshee to manage the device in Ubuntu like I did with my prior IPhone.However, banshee doesn't seem to pick up the device. However, they dont' tell you what file to add it to. I did add those lines to /home/michael/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/config.xml which was the only xml file I could find for banshee. However, still doesn't work.
Does anyone have any experience getting the Atrix to work in banshee. Or does anyone know of another manager I would be able to use to manage music and video on Ubuntu. The only official way to do this is to use Windows Media Player or the motorola app both of which are Windows/Mac.
I got a mixer today and did everything correctly there and I am trying to put the audio through the microphone input which is fine. But when I try to record through Audacity it's as though the microphone and mixer aren't plugged in. I've played around with the settings in both qJackctl and Audacity only to result worse off than before. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
