Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (36 Viewers)

Looks like your connection is in quite decent shape. All tests passed and ping response from yahoo/google is within reason. The dns and http tests probably failed because you don't have nmap installed (I should make this clearer).

What is nmap?

I thought these failed because it didn't detect connection and at the moment it has been working flawlessly, I don't know why. *touch wood*

I'll continue this later, I have to put wallpaper in our bedroom before it gets dark.

nmap is a network testing tool. I need to use it to perform those tests.

I don't know what that piece of code does but I can say that since I run it and added it to bash I didn't witness a single choke. I am sure they are irrelevant but I like the coincidence.

Now for some serious work. I installed ubuntu on my old acer and I want to run desktop effects on it but it is telling me that loading the effects failed. What shall I do?

Video driver without working hardware accel?

Yo Jack!

Remember the emoticon bug in kopete on kde4? Things started moving on that:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174259

Unfortunately, compiling KDE4 takes superhuman strength, so I can't test if the patch works, but it probably does. Sadly though, this comes at a very unfortunate time. You see, yesterday:
http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/01/42-rcs-tagged-trunk-is-now-43.html
So KDE 4.2 is now being finalized and not accepting anything but bug fixes. This patch was made in trunk (ie. where all new development happens) and therefore won't be in KDE 4.2 most likely (that means KDE 4.3).
(Technically they are supposed to takes bugfixes from trunk into 4.2, but who knows if this one will get noticed.)

Things happen in open source, just not always as fast as you'd want them to.

I can wait Thanks for the update.

About KDE 4.2, when will it be released? And will it be straightforward to update to it on Kubuntu?

On another hand, is Amarok 2 the best music player ever or what? It's like someone has fulfilled my dreams.

Update: The fix will be in 4.2. It's supposed to come out at the end of January or something. Upgrading will probably be easy via update-manager.

I have a few gripes with Amarok. But I suppose now is not the time. Let them finish Amarok2 and then we'll see what direction they take.
