Ubuntu users may experienced that simple folder with media files will failed to show files because preview module is failing. So for the best will be that you disable preview at all, there is no magic cure for this at lest not yet i'm not a Ubuntu doctor. Look in folder for Edit/Preferences/Preview and set Show thumbnails to Never or if it works let it be as it is.

First impressions after install from me are bad. This distro is Ubuntu based and probably Suse too not a very good combination. It will add firewall option if you really need that. After install i look for Mint update it gives me 261 updates so i install them it take about 10min on 300KB/s ok i can go with that. The first thing i noticed that is kind of slow responsive and when i try to force it, it give me some useless massage "Could not grab your mouse" and even updates did not help. The menu is complex with small icons that's not very helpful, favorite shortcuts can be done but what for that menu can be navigated better well that's a bit wasteful. They support Mono project that i think should be excluded from community (Silverlight plug-in). About wallpaper they just use green tint on blue water wallpaper that you can find it with Google. Me using this distro is a long shot and i think that Mint 8 it wont get any better than this. Some dark forces are behind this distro so i suggest that you avoid it, it's a time waster. LINK

This distro completely blow my mind away that everything works out of the box without any funky boot errors or flashing wallpapers at boot like Ubuntu 9.10 may have. They added some nice features like Inkscape and Cheese (vector graphics and webcam). The install is very simplistic and will have some options to select at first system boot so be a little bit careful what you select i extendedly lock my self out when selecting wrong localization and when set to right after install the password stopped working. I welcome the configuration panel is very good to use and this is the legacy of Mandrake i presume. Installing scanner was very easy i just select firmware file from scanner install CD .bin over wizard and that's about it. The same goes to my HP printer it install full set of support. Mandriva have nice look like KDE3 and it's the good old Gnome anyway. If somebody will miss games they are not on the menu after install can use Install & Remove Software for all you can eat buffet loading.

Open /etc/init.d/rc and look for Concurrency and replace "none" with "shell". This will speed up boot by 3s. How? Open Terminal type sudo -s to get full editing rights and install Midnight Commander with sudo apt-get install mc this will help you navigate through a mysterious labyrinth of Linux file system.

This the most frustrated topic that i came up so will try to write down as gentle as possible. Device drivers are part of marketing tool for Windows so when you get a new device what ever it is you need drivers for it. So why drivers, drivers provide software support that will device work in the first place. So let begin the problem if you are builder, self installer and hunter for the latest drivers then you already know there are some traps out there that can screw up the almighty Windows install. The second problem is that Windows install comes with basic set of drivers only and if you have an old device that don't support new Windows version that's about now hell begins. Windows use the most complicated install setup programs that are out there so this story never ends. Bottom line don't put new Windows on old system it just not worthed and if you think that some commercial software detective for drivers will solve everything nope you're wrong. Some people like to say i don't do tech i use it, well the are absolutely right and conclusion is, use or not to use Windows or they are just a wrong turn on the freeway.

Unlocking AMD CPUs is looks like the new sport. If you have this type of CPU check in BIOS for ACC option that stand for Advanced Clock Calibration and set it to Auto. This option is part of overclocking function and this will not rise the frequency of CPU but will optimize the cores on AM3 socket CPUs. Some of the locked cores they may just show up and maybe if you're lucky even more cache on standard AMD Phenom II X4 CPU. Eligible for unlocking are any AM3 AMD CPUs with south bridge SB710, this chipset can be found on any AMD780 and up boards. Good luck! LINK

Windows never hold up the speed more than 2 months if you do a lot of copy and install. So it's recommended that you clean your system thoroughly with CCleaner and WinSysClean. This tools are out long enough that is safe to use them and only this will speed up your system like it was at first run/install stage. If you got stuck with uninstall problems try free Revo Uninstaller. My simple advice is to uninstall what ever you don't need, that will clear out the hard drive and speed up things considerably. Cleaning will also remove hidden backup viruses if any, always have active anti-virus on your system like AVG or Avast. Defragmenting hard drives is not my first choise of tuning things up but if you don't move your data around a lot you can try this also but remember any cached files from web browsing will create fragments again.

After you completed all jobs start buying Value Marts that's the most profitable property. To get more done in less time i recommend using AutoClick that will speed up things a lot. This util is free, just point the mouse on the button for that property or whatever you like to do with. Before start clicking set Auto Click Hotkey like Ctrl+F3 and add some click interval, i was using 2 on 1/10s. Anyway interval delay is needed for proper sync with your browser and network and dont't get too crazy with this or their server will crash under stress. The last thing to know, Mobster World it's part of Twitter community so you need a log-in.

Do you need an on-line backup synchronized you can try Ubuntu One or Dropbox. Those tools will show a folder for saving your documents in main documents folder and will automatically backup online. Both services offer 2GB for free. Current version of Ubuntu One is not yet up to speed but Dropbox it's all you can need for now. I use for backup just an USB flash key with 8GB but anyway if anyone need active on-line backup this are the right tools for you.

Ubuntu don't support ANSI text encoding so if you have text documents from Windows it's probably saved with ANSI type and can't be displayed properly. You can open this documents with OpenOffice and a window will show up with all encoding possible with a preview sample in the bottom then select one and scroll throw with cursor keys until your local characters appears correctly.Thursday, 1.

Putting your Windows XP CD to work with Ubuntu it's very easy just install VirtualBox from Add/Remove. Create new entry, and select XP than you must create fixed disk size that will bring the speed and don't make it very big about 6GB will be fine. Start the new entry, select XP CD and install from it. When install is done you must install some drivers to get the best possible speed from it, start with Install Guest Additions from the menu on sub-window of VirtualBox. This will add display driver and get higher resolutions possible, then you need to download Intel mainboard drivers they are combo so it don't matter what you download just use the latest one. VirtualBox offers AHCI support too, you can skip this or enable under settings on VirtualBox it self, before doing that, look for Intel AHCI drivers first. When you have all this covered start disabling some of Windows XP features like System recovery, display effects that are animate and slide that will speed up things considerately. I was getting 300MB/s after defragmentation with ordinary laptop hard drive so why not doing that also, just use internal util under hard drive properties. That's about it and i prefer this option, it's a lot better than using Wine emulator. PIC COMBO LINKFriday, 25. September 2009, 17:18:36
ATi Radeon 5870 is very impresive graphics card it eat a bit less power than 4890 and it's cooler at the same time. How fast it is, about 4890 in Crossfire +10% up that fast it is. Before laptop i had gaming system with 4870 but this one was unstable when sold so i switch to laptop before gone to far with this gaming mania. Anyway i really like the design of new cooler on 5890 it looks like a part that was made for a car. ATi or AMD always had reasonable price but not always bring the expected speed and now you can build and have fast gaming rig without having rob a bank or have nuclear power in your backyard. That's the way the cookie crumbles, wait until your half past death then buy a system with 32 core CPU, 128GB RAM, 64TB hard drive and some insane graphics with 108" LCD display and now we are done. Do you thing that we need one more, we will get one more.

Download popular music videos over Vuze there you can find high quality HD .mkv formats. This format it's just container format of Xvid video and AC3 audio for best quality. Next thing on list is open your favorit media player what ever it is and put videos in playlist and play it as loop that's about it. It depends what and how you use your software with HDMI output or with subtitles for title all this can be done very easily. Why use not legal MP3 if you can use music HD videos on big screen TV with home cinema speakers for your party.

First check your system for compatibility and try Ubuntu in live mode that's the first option on CD. Download Ubuntu or any other of top 5 build around Debian source is the best way to go. When you have the .iso burn it to CD/DVD with image burn don't just put that file on CD. To boot from CD/DVD check bios for boot load from optical drive or try the last 7+ function keys if they can show boot menu. I recommend modern system with at least 512MB of RAM for good user usability. So why use X on your system if it runs you will be care free, that's the big trade-off just go with flow and what can this system offer you. If you can install junk over junk on W. there is no bigger challenge that bring that knowledge to open source with better usability at the end. Go to store right now and buy your self a laptop with the right price for you and load with Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Suse, Mandriva or gOS, before doing that check if you have backup CD from W. that you will not end up with buying more W. So what's my distro recommendation that's a bit hard to know what you like just click the link at the end and let the open source lead your way. COMBO LINKWednesday, 2. September 2009, 17:24:26
After watching Canadian Web Warriors documentary they talk about how viruses works and do and can do. When i try to seek any .pdf documents through FrostWire or LimeWire they are the same software but FrostWire is free i get allot of documents with just searching for .pdf extension. Many people are using this software for mp3 jukebox and at the same time they share "My documents" folder as up load that's wrong thing to do. This way you expose your system for possible attacks, never share something that's your personal nature and isolate that to USB flash key device that's not frequently use. Passwords are not secure also on this days computers and password recovery software it's possible to decode probably anything. Always update your software protection and system updates it self it's a very smart thing to do. Old software is bad software and very vulnerable for web attacks. Try some online anti-virus scanners for better protection.

They are 3x choices Adobe Media Player, Vuze former Azureus and Miro. They all shows high quality videos that is better then YouTube. Adobe mostly covers TV stations and internet networks, categorized by popular selection. On the other hand Vuze brings more to the table with videos over Bitorrent services. Miro is newcomer from MAC for all platforms. Which one is better and faster is hard say and again they all cover quality categorized content with build-in search and at the end Vuze have more to show and you can upload your own videos too.

Batman Returns was one of the first games that i bought back then in 1993 for 486 system it came on 5 floppies or maybe more. Batman Arkham Asylum is the latest creation if this game genre. Graphics is improved by a big leap from VGA to modern display with support for all new popular Geforce Physx. Gaming part of this new Batman is bit dumber non stop clicking with mouse when in action that i don't see any point, graphics is perfect by the way and shows a lot of detailed textures. So are new games any better or even worse, graphics is definitely gorgeous and that's all there is.
