I Love Linux

HAHAHAHAHAHA, too true!!

Remembered the first time I installed Gentoo, went 3 days without sleep! Compiling OpenOffice and KDE on a Athlon 1.7 (I think) took very, very long. OpenOffice took a whole 24hrs those days!

I once did a stage1 install on a P2-166MHz with 128MB RAM. It took two weekends to download the distfiles over my dialup connection and a few weeks to build.
 
What's the best way to automount at startup a NTFS volume?

I used a GUI app but can't find it for mint so want to know the easiest method.
 
I followed this guide

But then again I kinda knew what I was doing so I might have done stuff which wasn't mentioned in that.

Thanks it worked although I'm not sure what these commands mean except for gid which is about owners.
defaults,umask=007,gid=46 00

gonna try ntfs-config.
 
ntfs-config is a nice GUI tool, i've used the commands the tool placed under fstab rather.

Finally Got Myth working! setting it up is not user-friendly at all...

Oh well, now to spend hours configuring the crap out of it :D
 
Do any of you get an error from Konqueror about not being able to change permissions when you copy onto a NTFS drive. I had the solution to the problem but can´t seem to remember it:( Do you perhaps know how to fix it?
 
You have to install the ntfs "drivers" from adept first. Just search for ntfs and you'll find it.

if you ntfs-3g, in the fstab i think you need to use - rw,users,default 0 0
 
I'm on Kubuntu now (kde3) and am slowly preferring it to gnome although I still believe gnome is far easier to use and best suited for Linux noobs.

What would be the best way to get the latest KDE4 on my current Kubuntu installation without making a mess?

gentoo is not for the faint-hearted. i will not recommend gentoo to anyone unless they want to learn how Linux works under the hood. you don't realise how many components there are in the software stack, until one of them fails/breaks/gets rm'd.

the more you break it, the easier it becomes to fix ;)

a few months ago i re-installed my 32bit OS with a 64bit one. it took months to get mythtv working flawlessly again. i'm still having trouble with my webcam and motion (detection).

moral of the story, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Contradicting yourself there?

Anyway, I've got the hang of myth now so it's not possible for me to break it that easy, still a few things I need to see can be made possible and then my KDE setup will be perfect.

I've decided to skip KDE4 until it's officially released by Kubuntu and not community supported.
 
I created a pppoe connection with pppoeconf and after I rebooted Kppp detects this pppoe account and I can use Kppp to disconnect and connect the "dsl-provider" connection.

But I have two dsl accounts and I created another pppoe connection manually which I connect to using the pon/poff terminal command but is it possible to add it to Kppp manually?

I want more than one pppoe dialup connection in KPPP.
