Gutsy: NVIDIA GeForce 6600
With the sorceress spiraling out of control with no attention from me, I finally decided to give it some much deserved attention. With the release of Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) i ran a distro upgrade and X crashed on the reboot. So i decided to install from scratch.
After the install. I needed to get my DVI working.
After the install. I needed to get my DVI working.
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-genericAfter that's done, go to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager and turn on the driver. Restart and that should work.

Setup Skype on Ubuntu x64
If you've tried to install the Skype 1.4.0.74 deb package on a 64bit architecture machine you probably got: Error: Wrong Architecture 'i386'
Edit: According to oleg_t this works for Skype 2.0.0.63 too. Change skype-1.4.0.74.deb to the version you are trying to install.
You could try:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture skype-1.4.0.74.deb
linux32 skype
but that didnt work for me coz skype was still expecting the i386 libraries of some files.
Finally what did work was a solution from Ubuntu Forums
Basically, my understanding is that, it installs the 32bit libraries that skype needs into /usr/lib32/ and then installs skype.
To run skype just go to Menu > Internet > Skype

Quake 3 - Revisited
Long ago, when the sorceress ran on SuSe and a 32bit processor, my quake 3 problems were solved with this solution
Now, with a brand spanking new 64bit beast and a sweet OS, the Quake problem was revisited.
Installing Quake wasnt as easy as expected. The Point release wouldnt install since this is a 64bit and the proggy is 32bit. A little googling solved that:
Quake runs smooth, but no audio. A lot of googling and I still haven't found a solution. Guess Ill have to post around to find a solution.
Will update when I find a solution..

Raid 1 Setup
I've always hated backing up data. YOu make a DVD backup and two days later you have another 2 Gig that you want to backup.. Its impossible to keep upto date with backups if you dont have a sophisticated system.
After my OS course 2 semesters ago I finally decided that RAID could be my solution. Implement RAID 1 which basically mirrors the drives and voilia Backup!
So after my machine died on me I decided to go shopping. Alomg with a snazzy 22" LCD monitor I decided to put in some dollars for 2 320 GB SATA HDDS.
The idea was to keep my old IDE 40GB drive as root (/) and have my /home and other partitions on the SATA RAID drives. This works great coz I hear that setting a RAID drive as the boot drive causes problems with GRUB since it doesnt know how to read RAID since the module isn't loaded at that point.
So heres the map of things:
* hda1 = 40 GB IDE Drive
* sda and sdb = 320 GB (detects 299 GB) SATA Drives
/ - 40GB /dev/hda1
/home - RAID ARRAY 1 [ 60GB /dev/sda1 & 60GB /dev/sdb1 ]
/audio - RAID ARRAY 2 [ 60GB /dev/sda5 & 60GB /dev/sdb5 ]
/neuro - RAID ARRAY 3 [ 60GB /dev/sda6 & 60GB /dev/sdb6 ]
/virtuo - RAID ARRAY 4 [ 60GB /dev/sda7 & 60GB /dev/sdb7 ]
/video - RAID ARRAY 5 [ 59GB /dev/sda8 & 60GB /dev/sdb8 ]
While I went though a slightly messy setup since I didn't really know what I was doing at the time, in retrospect things are a lot clearer now. So here's instruction for setting up RAID POST installation...
IMHO I think a PRE install setup shouldn't be too different. Setup the mdadm arrays and then run the install and ubuntu will detect the partitions or you can modify the fstab to mount the partitions manually. But don't take my word for it, check out the links at the bottom of this post.
---- BOOT FROM LIVE CD ----
We need mdadm to enable RAID. (mdadm -manage MD devices aka Linux Software Raid.) The standard LIVE CD doesnt have mdadm available, so lets install it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mdadm
During the installation I answered:
mdadm md arrays needed for the root filesystem: none
start MD arrays automatically: yes
NOTE: If you are going to boot from a RAID partition your answers will be different.
---- SETUP PARTITIONS ----
Create identical partitions (ext3) on the individual drives. In my scenario I had 5 partitions of ~60GB on each drive. You can use the GParted GUI tool under System > Administration.
Now to make these partitions RAID. Ensure you know the names of each partition, you can check them in GParted.
What happens now is that we create RAID arrays and tell mdadm which partitions are going to be in each array. Since I planned for 5 partitions I have 5 RAID Arrays which all are RAID-1.
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]1
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]5
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]6
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md3 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]7
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md4 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]8
A quick explination of the above command: Create /dev/md0 as a RAID1 array consisting of /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1.
Now although mdadm will start automatically on boot and detect these arrays we still need to tell fstab to mount these partitions. Since we've booted from a live cd our drives are not mounted.
Mount your / (root) partition with:
sudo mount /dev/hda /somefolderthatexists
Now navigate to and modify your fstab (/somefolderthatexists/etc/fstab) to mount each array. Here's my fstab
And we're done!
You can reboot or mount the drives now with: sudo mount -a which mounts all filesystems listed in /etc/fstab.
Also, mdadm is (re)syncing the partitions in the background. You can check the status/progress with: cat /proc/mdstat
You dont have to wait to use your drives, you can use them immediately and mdadm will sync them in the background..
Hope this helps, if not here's what helped me:

Sabayon Linux
Yeah long time no update on the Linux front. My motherboard is still fried. The Video and Sound port aren't working so for now I play my music over the network from the windows machine. 95% of my work is done on windows now.. Just waiting for another month or so and then i plan to get a new mobo and buy 2 300GB HDD and set them up as RAID disks on the linux machines.. No more DVD backups then!! Raarrr!!
Randa recently send me a link to this new Linux Distro called Sabayon and boy is it yum yum yum!!! Im just dying to try out Sabayon.. Am dying to upgrade the HW so that I can try it out...
Till I do, heres some links for more on Sabayon:

Todays been a shitty day... 2 days ago I unplugged my 2nd monitor from my ubuntu machine to hook up to the windows machine so pallavi could use it since her laptop's dead..

After and hour of frusterated googling on the windows machine, i finally figured it out... phew! i thought i'd have to reinstall.. hate that!

Hamachi: VPN Application
I came across a Digg about 10 Unknown Windows Freeware Applications You Should Know About. This was not one of the crappy freebies but some really useful and unknown ones..
Hamachi was one that sounded really interesting to try out..
Interested?? I sure am!!
Here's detailed installation instructions. For Ubuntu Dapper dont forget to add sudo in front of commands that need to be run as root...
Note: Make sure make is installed. If it isnt then:
After installing hamachi, download gHamachi a GUI interface to hamachi. (needs hamachi to be installed to work)
Thats It!! Now off to test it with some windows users...
Hamachi was one that sounded really interesting to try out..
Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking application.
In other words Hamachi is a program that allows you to arrange multiple computers into their own secure network just as if they were connected by a physical network cable.
Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. Its core version is also free.

Swiftfox
Ditch Firefox... Switch to SwiftfoxTrying to install Flash was such a pain in Firefox. I couldn't find 'flashplugin-nonfree' in the repository and there were posts about some problems with 64bit. Then I came across this reccomendation to try Swiftfox. Its built on firefox and tons faster and meant for Linux..
Easy install... and boy, did it ever work! Went to a flash page and it asked to install the plugin.. and zap! flash was installed! google video here i come!!

Mixing 2 Screens, 2 OSs, Synergy and a KVM
Finally got Synergy to work..
My setup, as I mentioned some posts ago, is a lil complicated...
I have 2 Monitors for Ubuntu. One of them is shared with Windows through a KVM.
Solution was:
On Ubuntu, Setup the LCD Screen as the primary screen and the CRT as the secondary screen.. In xorg.conf, under the
On Windows, I setup the Synergy Server using the Synergy GUI. (Synergy Manual.) Windows was to the left of Ubuntu and Ubuntu was to the right of Windows.
Ran the server and client (ubuntu: synergyc 192.168.0.123)..
The KVM is still connected. When I switch the KVM to the Windows machine I move the mouse off the right of the screen and get into the LCD on Ubuntu and get back to Windows by moving the mouse off the left of the LCD Ubuntu screen.
The neat part is when I switch the KVM to the Ubuntu machine the keyboard and mouse works normally coz the Synergy server cant detect the kybrd/mouse on the Windows machine since the KVM switched it..
So all is good in geek land! :)
Besides having to study for Abstract Algebra! *headache* *ouch*
