but if it makes you feel any better, I don't post on any other sites either. Don't ask me why, I just stopped doing it, I lost my muze.
It might have started with the inspection of Soepmetballen, a project I mentioned earlier...
We haden't even been online for a few months (I never even got to make the site look good) and I won a visit to my school's 'chief'.
Yep, he didn't like it. We argued for quite some time, but in the end I ended up deleting most of the articles.
Free speech is no more.
Ever since I just don't know what to write anymore. But that's not what this is all about :)
In the last few months I've bought a PDA -a Dell Axim x51 520Mhz-, installed the new Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake), which came with free stickers :p , and have probably done some other stuff which I can't remember right now.
I love my PDA, it's hard to believe I didn't get one earlier, they're so great. Too bad I only found out now, else I might've bought the x51v, instead of going with the cheaper version...
A big problem I have with my PDA is that I spend about 70% of my time in Ubuntu linux, and there's no way of syncing with wm5. If anyone has a suggestion? I actually don't really care about the actual syncing, because all my mailing goes through gmail, but I do need to be able to exchange files vise versa. I know, get an SD-cardreader, and I probably will later, but that's so much extra work :(
Enough wining: I like my Ubuntu, I just hope that when I buy a new pc (some time soon I hope) it will recognise all the hardware just as easy.
Here are some hints (more for me to remember than they'll be of use to you, but you never know):
#Install tv-card:There, I think I've told just about anything I had to... oh, and I got through the exams just fine: got some excellent results :)
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/bttv
add line:
"options bttv tuner=24 card=100"
#Add write-support to ntfs partitions:
Make sure these packages are installed:
°libntfs8
°ntfsprogs
°libfuse2
°fuse-utils
$ echo fuse | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
$ sudo addgroup ntfs
(remember group GID)
$ sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
$ gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
edit NTFS drive with these options:
ntfs-fuse auto,gid=*GID nr*,umask=0002 0 0
$ sudo adduser *username* ntfs
(fix dapper bug:
$ sudo rm /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse && sudo ln /usr/bin/ntfsmount /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse
)
#Install basic development tools:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
#Better (faster) kernel:
1. 'sudo apt-get install linux-686' for newer Intel/AthlonXP
2. 'sudo apt-get install linux-k7' for any AMD CPU's
3. 'sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp' for Dual Intel CPU's
4. 'sudo apt-get install linux-k8' for Athlon64 CPU’s
#Fix tvtime audio issue (caused by above kernel?):
$ sudo modprobe -r bt878 bttv
$ sudo modprobe snd_bt87x
$ sudo modprobe bt878
