My name’s Kelly Williams, my friends call me Kell. Thanks for taking to the time to stop in on my page…
There’s nothing new here in terms on Web Log Content, just my personal take on the Geek Scene. Like all weblogs I post links to things I find interesting… I take absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY for how the information here is used.
Outright illegal but interesting nonetheless… start as Admin and punch Install 7Loader (you can place OR REMOVE OEM branding… which I think is cool), your PC will restart and you should be good to go…
It seems Microsoft just might have some sense of humor after all… it seems Windows 7 ships with a Wallpaper featuring (of all things) PENGUINS!
Grab the Simple Text file HERE and remember to save it as .conkyrc in your home folder.
Abysmal performance of the Intel Graphics Driver in Ubuntu “Jaunty Jackalope” can be fixed by reverting to the driver used in “Intrepid Ibex”…
Open a Terminal and type,
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following lines to your Sources, save and close,
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/siretart/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/siretart/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Again in your Terminal type,
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xce90d8983e731f79
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4
Reboot your computer and you SHOULD BE good to go.
My PERFECT Minimalist Ubuntu SCREENSHOTs.
Simplicity is key… this install started with Ubuntu 9.04’s Minimal CD (basically Ubuntu’s version of the Debian Net Install CD), I then added xorg, gdm, Openbox WM, Synaptic and Firefox… it idles at 90MB and is super fast… everything I like in an OS.
I actually removed ESET NOD32 to have a go at this and was surprised at the similarities between the two… not only is the GUI very similar but the two sport a nearl IDENTICAL memory footprint. Hmmmmm…
