Hi all...
I installed a copy of 10.04 x64 (dual boot with Vista) on my HP Pavilion dv9830us laptop last night and I have to say I am impressed with what I see. There has only been one glitch, it didn't complete the boot process once. Driver installation was flawless and it seems to have covered most if not everything on my laptop, even the webcam! I was offered an easy way to download and "activate" non-free drivers which included my Nvidia (GeForce) 8600M GS graphics and the softmodem chipsets. The OS itself has been extremely stable (except the one time when it did not boot completely.) I can see that Ubuntu/kubuntu, if not Linux in general, is making definite strides on the desktop and my experience so far with this distribution is quite a bit different than with my last installation of Ubuntu (5.10,) which was my sole OS from October, 2006 to March, 2007. Of particular note is that my wireless connection has worked perfectly so far (out of the box) without any dropped connections. That's pretty impressive, guys. Keep up the good work!
I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with:
1. With LBreakout2, I have deleted a couple levels and sound files and added a level that I made when I was using
Ubuntu 5.10. Although my changes have registered in the various folders the game is located in, I cannot get my
custom level to work and the ones I deleted still register and work! What do I need to do to correct this, do I
need to make some adjustment in a configuration file in some way?
2. How do I get rid of the "book of mozilla" in Firefox? (about:mozilla) I would prefer not to have this included with the
program.
3. I have forgotten a lot of the command line language I learned when I used Ubuntu. Is there a web site or page
handy that gives a list of generally used commands?
4. Is there a way of disabling the Kubuntu "Wallet?" It seems I have to give it permission to access my wireless
connection in order for a connection to take place and it also asks permission to access Kapote as well. Why does
it do this?
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Regards...
