La bête marche bien...

Moi, j'ai arrêté de bosser sur Cygwin, je fais que du MSys... Trop marre de Cygwin.

@ Je sais, mais le souci vient d'un des drivers de mon chipset (après passage dans WinDbg)

je pense que ton PC a un souci si tu as des BSOD tous les 2 jours ... j'ai vista 64, 4gig de mémoire et aucun écran bleu (sauf si je branche un 2eme écran, ma carte graphique étant malade mais osef).

par contre j'avais une carte mère asus (p5w-dh) qui me faisait de plus en plus de bsod sur ce même vista 64, 4gigs de mémoire ..... j'ai cru qu'elle me grillait les barettes mémoires (en changeant ça allait mieux) mais en fait c'était le contrôleur mémoire qui mourrait lentement ... méfiance pour ta nouvelle mobo ...

Ubuntu migrations to 8.10 - JBK

@Dave: those machines are not my machines, usually, so they don't have many services, however, I had 0 problems with Apache and MySQL.

For my servers, I still prefer Debian Stable...

@Sam - KUbuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE as the default window manager. It will suffer from the same issues as the regular ubuntu distro.

And FYI, if you want to have the functionality of KUbuntu in Ubuntu, type 'apt-get install kde' and voila.

However, this thread is more about upgrading between releases of Ubuntu rather than the GUI that's used.

@JBK - what about non-GUI apps like apache, mysql, etc. They were okay or did you have to mess with them also?

Ubuntu migrations to 8.10 - materthron

When I upgraded from 8.04 (which cumbersomely only worked with mesa dirvers) by means of update manager, my system was literally totally fucked up (couldn't even boot any more).
So the usual back-up old files to ext. hd, with Knoppix, get iso, burn iso and do a complete re-install cycle started once again.
Unfortunatly, X kept freezing seconds after log-in; even with mesa. Fiddling and searching for 5h (! what a nice way to spend a sunday ) finally brought up this quirk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#AT... which made everything run seamlessly ever on.

So, for me upgrading Ubuntu isn't fun either

@Sam: well, I did install KDE4 on the new ubuntu, but this doesn't solve the migrations issues :D

Have you ever tried Kubuntu? It's useful as well and the new version (Kubuntu 8.10) takes advantage of the new KDE 4. I haven't had much time to fiddle with it though (past using the live CD version) so I don't know much about the new release.

I have problem with nvidia fx 570. It's too blurry and it really bothers me. Is there way that I can fix it or it's factory defected?

thanks

Petit edit (dommage que ce ne soit pas possible...) à propos de Firefox 3. J'ai découvert qu'il existait 2 failles dans ce petit bijou (enfin... J'ai découvert que Mozilla avait découvert que...)

Have a look:
http://www.svmlemag.fr/dossier/0308...

Quote: Précisons par ailleurs qu'une faille de sécurité, qualifiée de critique par les équipes de Mozilla vient d'être découverte. Elle touche les deux branches, 3 et 2 du navigateur.

J'ai pas cherché plus loin (pas le niveau, et ej leur fait confiance...) Mais peut-être que cela sera susceptible de t'intéresser.

y'en a qui on vraiment du temps à perdre...
J'imagine que tu devinera facilement qui se cache derrière ce pseudo... Indice: Part of your family...

Pour tes tests, je ne vérifierai pas, je te fait confience. Toutefois Tes remarques quant à la consommation de mémoires sont très fonées, c'est d'ailleurs le seul problème (à mes yeux) de firefox. Mais La stabilisation aux alentours de 50mo sur la v3 a partiellement réglé le problème.
Je ne savait pas que F3 était en r4, je sius heureux de l'apprendre... Je vais aller voir ça..
Sur ce...
Bonne continuation. Je repasserai!

Brilliant site! I have already installed XP using bootcamp and installed rEFIt today while just playing around. A couple of months ago I created a Ubuntu disc and played around with it on a desktop, but would like to learn more Linux on my Macbook. Now for the questions--
1)What is the procedure for installing Ubuntu after the above described procedure?
2)In the following passage you wrote---
During the install I deleted the new partition and added two in place:

* One root partition /

* One swap 1GB

* Finish everything, reboot

You should be careful to install your grub in your linux partition and NOT in the MBR, to let reFit do it correctly.---
will this all be self evident? I know the definition of a grub, but can you be a bit more descriptive on this step?
3)Lastly, to install the drivers for the wireless modem, do you simply type all of that code in the terminal on Ubuntu?

Thanks a bunch--I hope to be able to learn a hundreth of what you know about Linux!!

MacBook install: triple boot: linux, windows, Mac OS - Matt

Hi, I am having a little trouble understanding how to do this. I have a 13" Macbook running leopard and have tried to install windows xp pro sp2 using the bootcamp program but after windows has installed and my mac reboots I try to boot into windows and it comes up with error some file missing or something. I had figured out how to get around this by installing a fresh tiger and then running bootcamp on that and windows worked fine. All had to do was update into leopard and the windows partition remained, but now I want to install ubuntu and windows??

Interesting review, but still too expensive
