Linux Mint

[Lynchmeister]

My brain has been slowly unravelling here at work and it has blurred my judgement here. I have to apologize for my fuse temporarily shortening. :redface:

Oh...yes, I agree. I should shut up and get back to work! :tongue_sm

[Lynchmeister]

stop padding your numbers with this malaise. bring on the Costanza we all know.:biggrin:

George is gettin' upset!

:biggrin:

[Mr. Gillette]

You know, this stuff is too vivid and too funny to just be making up as you go. I think you're actually regaling us with tales of your misspent youth. :lol:

Sorry, wrong-o. It comes out of Zeni's intelligence gathering and recon photos!:001_smile

[OldSaw]

Man! You guys are going to be well past 1800 by the time I get back from the concert in the park.

Whoever gets 1800, don't blow it. Make it something with a little flare.

[Lynchmeister]

Sorry, wrong-o. It comes out of Zeni's intelligence gathering and recon photos!:001_smile

Spooky!

[Mr. Gillette]

Yawning....huh...oh...we were just taking a nap...let me roll over and wake her up and see which picture Jen would like me to send...:tongue_sm

This deserved a post of it's own...*shudder*...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

For the love of God, people...NSFW! I don't care what that Zeni fella tells you, don't do it man!

I'm gonna go barf now...


I suppose I was kinda asking for it, though...:001_rolle


Umm how do know what it is? Huh? You actually looked for it I bet.:lol:

Hehe...I just read your last post in that thread (I need to go back and start from the beginning of the thread) and it made sense to me...then again, I've had more exposure to your warped mind. :w00t:

There once was a topic named Linux,
Which caused quite a pain in the Pe-nux.
Lynch lost his own cable,
Because he's unable
To get across the border without getting strip searched by Canadian Authorites.

(What...you thought ANYTHING could rhyme with Linux?)

[OldSaw]

The concert got rained out. I see things have tapered off here too.

I will be down in Traverse City tomorrow so if 1800 comes up we need someone to step up to the plate with a picture of Jen I guess.

[Mr. Gillette]

I do have a Linux question.

I don't currently HAVE Linux...preferring to work in windows at this time, since that's what Walmart and Compaq put on my computer, and I think they know best.

But I'm wondering something about KLEDS...since I don't have any currently installed LED keyboard lights. I mean...it's common knowledge that after starting it docks to the KDE-Panel and shows you the current state of your keyboard lights.

And I know that if you have a keyboard like Logitech Cordless Desktop or similiar, this should help you to remember if NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock are on or off.

My question is, does this work only if your X uses XKB keyboard extension?

Thanks...I hope you can help me with this. Many of you know how I fell for the hype surrounding the release of the Romanian KDE-1.1.2 translations

These were Romanian translations for KDE 1.1.2. BETA3 release. There were 3 packages for download: PO sources, and 2 packages with compiled PO files and an automatic installer.

I was SO pissed, when I paid good money for it, and couldn't make it load up with Windows 98. I fell for the big hype, and the BIG BIG money of the advertisers:

Linux este unul dintre cele mai bune sisteme de operare actuale si, parca nu era de ajuns, este liber si gratuit. M-am intristat cind am descoperit ca eforturile romanesti in universul Linux sint aproape inexistente. Acesta a fost motivul pentru care m-am mobilizat sa creez acest site. Si nu vreau sa intram pe usa din dos. Vreau rezultate imediate, vreau o echipa, un nucleu permanent de romani pentru alti romani, care sa spuna si sa dovedeasca acest lucru: Linux este o optiune extraordinara pentru orice utilizator serios de calculator

RIGHT!!! Like I'll ever beleive that again. How can I send my Romanian friends letters without this? Can you guys PLEASE help me?:lol::lol:

You're the Wisconsin Boy...and this French product was imported my American Motors, Kenosha's Finest... I was just up in K-town today, which must have made me think of it.


“Le Car” version

The "Le Car" version sold by American MotorsThe Renault "Le Car" was marketed in North America by American Motors (AMC) where it competed against other front-wheel-drive subcompacts such the Honda Civic (which was also introduced in 1972) and the newly introduced Volkswagen Rabbit. The American introduction was delayed until 1976.

The Le Car name was ridiculed among Francophones[citation needed], as it literally means "the coach". The U.S. version featured a 1397 cc engine that produced 55 hp (41 kW), and a more conventional floor-mounted shifter was substituted for the dash-mounted unit. Sales continued through 1984.

My, uh...abridged version (:rolleyes:) is that Linux Mint is Ubuntu cloaked in a better color scheme...the poopy brown swirl of Ubuntu 7.10 just didn't do it for me and green is my favorite color....

Let the (die hard) Linux users flame away...

Basically correct. Mint also includes proprietary codecs (sp?) such as for mp3 playback that Ubuntu doesn't by default.

[burnwood]

Okay, I am such a troubled man. What is Ubuntu besides a South African word that the 2008 Boston Celtics adopted???

Teach me Cory, teach me. Is it an operating platform like XP?

In short. Yes. Of course both sides will argue this, that, and the other, but if you took two typical home computer users, one familiar with Mint/Ubuntu linux and the other with Windows and suddenly switched their operating systems I'm confident that both would have a virtually pain free transition.

This was proven to me when my wife asked me to put Ubuntu on her desktop. That says a lot right there, IMO...of course what should have taken an hour of my (our) time has now taken 1783 posts and an unmeasureable ammount of man hours. So please take it with a grain of salt. :tongue:

the wife would kill me if I did anything to the computer and messed it up.

Initial few days were tense, I can assure you...

Wife: If you do anything to f**k up the computer...*face turned red at this point and vein in neck bulged*

Me: Relax, honey...it's a liveCD. Nothing bad can happen...

Wife: I'm warning you--I've got online classes to attend and assignments to turn in. I don't like the idea of this Linux thing at all. If I fail my classes because of this--

Next day =>

Wife: Honey, this Linux thing is pretty cool.

Me: Can I ditch Windows now?

Wife: NO!

Next day =>

Wife: Can you put it on my computer?

It was at this point where I entered into the Linux/Lynchmeister's Wife's Computer/Missing Ethernet Cable/Screen Resolution issues/Mouse Problems Black Hole (Illustrated below)

Actually I'm just kidding about the amphetamines. However, caffeine is my major drug of choice. The best way I have currently found to get the right amount actually working is with Mad Croc gum. This stuff rocks!

I like drinking coffee but it does not have the same caffeine punch to really wake me up the way the gum does.

I never have to chance to stop sniffing glue since I am always doing it.

Old Saw...I know I blew it with Abner's recommend (although you should have had the lake trout or whitefish!) But stop at Gustafson's in Brevort along US2 on the way home...it's just a dumpy little gas-station kind of place, but the smoked fish and home made jerky is WORLD CLASS...absolutely.... You'll see it...it's right on US2.


MY last trip (Memorial Day) to UP...coming home, I had a taste for "Mickey-Lu's" BBQ in Marinette. I could just taste it as I got closer. It was Memorial Day. Imagine my horror when the parking lot was empty and it said "Closed Mondays". Oh well, down to the Peshtigo Corral...which ALSO was closed. DAMMIT!!!!! I had to eat at Wayne's, and got there just after a large tour bus heading to Oneida casino arrived. Once all the walkers and Rascals got parked, it was a decent meal.

[burnwood]

the wife and children just left for the UP. I could not go this year since work beckoned. They are going to wave to Mama Bear Sue when they drive through Florence. I will be going to the UP in November. We go twice a year.

It's been at least 20 years since I ate at Wayne's. It didn't really stand out in my memory though.

I'll watch for the smoked fish-jerky-ice cream sign in Brevort. Signs like that are a standing joke with me and my wife.

Heading south on 35 just past Hudson, there is a place called Ave's and there sign is a baby blue Semi trailer. They specialize in cheese (hey, it is Wisconsin) and taxidermy. The sign used to say "Wisconsin's Finest Taxidermy and Cheese!" but they've since painted over the "and Cheese!"

Fine, fine. I can't get transcode to compile because it wants to use the imagemagick compile flag but apparently it can't use it right now? (why last time and not this time? Stay tuned...) This bug has been seen and filed at Gentoo, but has anyone else seen it?

Transcode is necessary for VLC (the excellent video player) and necessary for mythtv, the TiVo-like package that lets you build your own PVR. Therefore, I need transcode to keep using my MythTV, which I dearly love since Mrs. Soapbox records lots of shows I won't watch on the "real" TiVo.

Not that I dislike Gentoo, but sometimes the compiles can be fraught with peril. I gotta say that Ubuntu wins this issue hands-down, if the packages are already compiled by Ubuntu's team.

Yeah, I just don't like littering /etc/portage with a bunch of exceptions. It's weird though, most of the time the x86 versions are more or less okay, but I think this bug is more universal. Still, if I start getting problems with transcode, you can bet I'll get the latest version asap.

Ray also set my house on fire so he could rescue two orphans from it. :mad:

Those were your cats and they only *felt* like orphans while you were away. So, all-in-all he doesn't get a whole lotta credit for the "heroic act."

I hope to coordinate this post (1959) with my memories of the same year, but since I was only two at the time, it's very difficult to recall anything. But if you add the sum of the numbers, 1+9+5+9...you get a very interesting number...24.

There are 24 hours in a day! There are 24 cans of beer in a case!

7- 11 is open 24 hours.

I think this is something like a Fibonacci sequence, isn't it?

Then...to make it even MORE spooky--- 2 + 4 = 6! 1959+6=1965, the year Mary Poppins came out. I do remember that.

Glad to help with the post count.

Oh, and I had a seriously stupid moment this morning on my desktop Linux box. The package manager was saying that python was blocking the installation of the python-updater, so I thought "well, that's fine, I'll just uninstall python and reinstall it after python-updater gets built and installed."

Seriously, I didn't have any coffee this morning, and this is what I get for it, dammit.

Jesse, you idiot--the package manager RUNS IN PYTHON. So now I have to download and install python myself, fighting with the system the whole way (because python is really, really, supposed to be installed). So I win the first fight, and then the package manager doesn't know python is there, of course because it didn't install it, so its first bright idea is that it needs to install python...using python. Arrrrgh! Man I'm still paying for this error.

Let's compare this to a nice straight-razor slice because you weren't paying attention. Aaaaand let's just finish up with some lemon juice aftershave while we're at it.

gentoo uses python to run its portage package management engine; it doesn't download a finished binary, but rather the source code plus patches, and compiles it...while you wait.

So without python (I should have pulled only the most recent python and left 2.4.x in place), I couldn't run things through emerge, but rather, the old ./configure && make && make install

Ah yes for the pseudo-faster system :tongue:

I find Fedora easier to keep upgraded. I want to use my computer, not fiddle with it and wait to compile the kernel. Yawn. :wink:

That is unless I want to do those things. I compiled a kernel once or twice. Took forever!

Fedora, Ubuntu/Debian, and SuSE all do a good job with this. Yes, they do. I, on the other hand, am a masochist: I program Perl, and I use Gentoo.

Ah, the kernel compiles aren't that bad on more-or-less modern hardware; even X11 isn't that bad either. KDE and Gnome take a while, yes, and OpenOffice...now that's a slow one.

Wow! Looks like everyone is off except for Rich.

I'll need a little help getting this thing to 2000. I also have to log off for a while to let my wife on the computer. It could get a little dicey. Oh well, if I miss it I'll just have to settle for my 2000th post being something lame.

Yes, that really was something(!) and he really did an accurate and concise job of summing this whole deal up. Unfortunately I didn't have a fire extinguisher handy when doing that RAM upgrade about 50 pages back. They all warned me about the static and even suggested one of those anti-static cuffs, but I didn't listen...the open bottle of grain alcohol sitting next to the laptop also probably wasn't a good idea.
