hmm frostwire

the icy version of limewire, for nix.. finally set it up in my ubuntu partition so no more irc for simple things i could find on a simple p2p client god bless frost wire, found the how to on ubuntuforums.org, you'll need java 1.5 first though the how to on that can be found in the ubuntuwiki.

Burning happily with linux

I honestly dont burn cd's that much.. who does... but i had to the other day and man was it hell, i ended up having to make an image with k3b and then sending the image over wifi to a friend and openning the image with deamon tools then burning hte contents to a disc.. k3b would not work, nor would gnome baker. today i fixed it though.. VICTORY IS MINE (in the words of stewie)..

pretty easy fix too, for the k3b fanatics, adding your self to the usergroup that k3bsetup uses to burn should be enough, but i did that and i still had some problems with the underlying app that kde uses (cdrecord), i ended up having to run this comand from the launcher (kdesu k3b) which is essentially runningk3b as root. after that kde worked fine.

now for gnome baker, this is what you do

um add your self to the root user group from the user admin dialog or you can do it via cli (as su: type adduser username groupname) then after that do

chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap

and with that gnome baker should be working.. my next test is gonna be with nero linux i'll blog the details of that experiment.

I cant burn cds :(... T-T

so k3b doesn't work and gnome baker doesn't work (both are cd/dvd burning apps for kde and gnome respectively. the underlying problem is crecord the app that both applications use to write to the discs. it doesn't seem to have the needed permissions to write the discs.. i honestly dont get why.. i'm thinking to go try burning a disc why logged in as root and see what happens (thing is i set the program group usage to root and it didn't work.. this is quite annoying now.

Hostja... quality and reliable hositng my ASS

NOW TAKE A LOOK THIS PIECE OF SHIT HOSTING COMPANY!!!!! REALLY WTF IS WRONG WITH THE OWNER. the guy doesn't pay his bill right.. and instead of being a man and say.. this is the situation.. the guy does the cowardly thing, he goes invisible. he dodges everybody. his contact numbers go straight to voicemail.. I now know why everyone cant have guns cause i'ld find him and i'ld empty a clip on him to show you how upset I am.. me and this kid go back to highschool, and this is how he treats his friends.. cant believe this shit.. the sad part of it is I should have seen this comming. i see how he treats some people, and i shouldn't think that i am any different.

Kubuntu.. my thoughts

same old kde big, bulky.. and alot of stuff i dont really need. i'm sticking to gnome.. >:p. gnomes interface just looks clean and sleek. i'm loving ever second of it. i'm quite convinced that linux hasn't been so easy.. seriusly ubuntu seems easier than my days of suse 9.3. apt-get is my new best friend indeed.

Ubuntu and me

on a serious note i forgot that i have a windows partition. every single thing that i would want to do on windows i can now easily do on ubuntu.. nothing is the problem no difficulty updating software anymore apt-get is a dream comethrough, its similar to gentoo's emerge concept, who know's maybe.. maybe i can get rid of the windows. let ubuntu take over the hd, esp with dapper drake comming up.. i cant wait.
