ANNOUNCEMENTS

05/22/08 - DragonCairn's PC = Offline

Last night DragonCairn started updating his personal computer to the latest version of Ubuntu. Today he will be attempting to downgrade to Gutsy Gibbon. Here's the problems he's having... This means all work he's been doing to keep the server happy is at a halt until this is resolved. Solutions can be sent to him care of GMAIL.COM.

Keyboard

Once the GUI loads, and the X login displays, the keyboards cease to function, except the NumLock and Caps Lock keys.

Solution

Press ESCAPE during GRUB load and go down to the previous version of HH.

Video

Once we bypass the part about the keyboards not working by using the solution above, we encounter the fact that the NVIDIA drivers just aren't sticking to xorg.conf. Replacing with xorg.conf backups from prior just isn't working. We're stuck with 800x600 on one of 3 monitors attached.

Groovix

DC shares his computer with Audhilde. Using Software more than 1 person can use the machine at the same time, each with their own Keyboard, Video, Mouse, and Audio...it's pretty slick stuff, and I was hoping to figure out how to configure it for 3sessions of KVM - 2 of them having Audio {Unless I could get the onboard sound working for the 3rd session}. Unfortunately, this software only works with GG.


UNOFFICIAL?! Don't post in channels 1-20

Forum Access

Without forum access, many things are blocked to a user, but we don't hand out forum access to just anyone. To get access you must, create an account on the wiki and the forum with the same name as you use in Eternal Lands and contact DragonCairn by emailing him @gmail.com. DragonCairn[at]gmail[dot]com

Infact your account here probably won't get activated without an email to DragonCairn[at]gmail[dot]com - but that's just a guess.

How to Handle Secrets

To log a secret - you must create a post in the secrets thread of our forum. Link from here to that post, and then edit it to link back to where the secret exists. Please see Desert Pines for more details.

Should you need more info

If you need information about how to work with a wiki, you can try the following links for information:

The most important thing for a wiki are cross-links between pages. If there is no link to a page, it doesn't exist, so remember to add cross-links to all relevant pages.
