Comment from: Vapor [Visitor]

That was a lifesaver, fixed a problem that is practically impossible to find. Thanks really doesn’t explain the gratitude required.

In response to: Why Linux is Annoying

Comment from: Dreyeth [Visitor]

As a follow Linux user, it is delusional to think that people that realize Linux is completely annoying ‘just can’t come to grips on the ways that Linux is different’.

Everything about the operating system is annoying at one time or another, I use it because its free, keeps malware out of my system, and its customizable, and I can get it not directly vendored by a corporation (though tons of them are involved in it).

Writing in a undocumented programming language to switch you’re default sound card in /etc/asound.conf is beyond screwy.

Crawling across the internet to put together pieces of undocumented behaviors to get your keyboard layout working on the grub © prompt isn’t fun, though after 3-4 years I’ve finally found the documentation I was looking for posted on a couple forums.

Installing you’re boot loader by configuring a file called boot.conf that supercedes /etc/default/grub because someone had to add another layer or wheel on top of the problem is another annoyance.

And my pet peeve is Linux’s permission system interacting with mounted file systems, I might as well just su all the time because thats where I’m going, I shutter to think of what using this system would be like if you wheren’t the administrator.

I once heard someone say that a operating system that continually requires you to enter a root or administrator mode to circumvent authority to get every task done cannot be secure and its completely true.

I’m waiting for something to curb stomp, Mac, Windows, AND Linux, and hopefully its free software.

Maybe someday someone will rip the proprietary guts out of Android (and actually replace them rather then just ripping them out like Replicant) and make a general purpose operating system for PC, Tablet, or Phone out of it using the Linux kernel but trashing most of the userland.

In response to: Fixing the Dreaded Error H202: When Hosting a Quickbooks Company File on a Linux Server

Comment from: Lawrence Weeks [Visitor]

Thanks! We had Quickbooks Enterprise 13.0 installed, and it was working fine with the database server on a CentOS Samba host. Upgraded to version 16.0, and could not make it work. What was ultimately required was as you documented, using the NETBIOS name, and changing the hostname of the Samba server. Once the hostname was changed, the database started as “QBDBMgrN_26 -n QB_server_26 …” and multi-user mode began to work.

Comment from: Jeremy Nelson [Visitor]  

Thanks! I stumbled across this post some 3 years later, and between this and somebody who linked to you, I was able to find a solution of my own. Maybe this will help somebody else. Thanks for discovering this in the first place!

In response to: Playing purchased or rented movies from Google Play on Linux

Comment from: Jeffery Fernandez [Visitor]

Wayne, Does this still work for you?

I have haldaemon installed on my opensuse box and cleared of the .adobe/* folders and restart firefox, but as soon as I start playing a DRM protected movie, the flash plugin crashes.

The sample player at http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/SVP/SampleVideoPlayer_FP.html doesn’t work either. I have flash version 11.2.202 and hal version 0.5.14

In response to: Kijiji vs. Craigslist, Kijiji wins

Comment from: calico [Visitor]

Kijiji wins in my books, simple to post, and easy to edit. Easy search, and the choice to filter your search to either the posting date or the price.
Kij has the data base, where as cl has the last week of posts.
In a forum on the kij verses cl, one person said it seemed that no matter where they posted if they got a reply asking if item was still available and they replied yes..the email-er seemed to disappear. My tip to them is in your ad write if this ad is still up, the item is still available.

In response to: Kijiji vs. Craigslist, Kijiji wins

Comment from: Mr. Isq [Visitor]

I’ve done a couple of experiments, and here are my results.

First of all, on Kijiji I can search within my city OR my province (I live in Canada). On Craigslist I can only search by city, and on Razza I can only search by province.

I did a search on each of these sites for the potentially ambiguous word “Keyboard". Here are my results.

Kijiji:
2714 Buy and Sell listings in my province and 1412 in my city.

Razzza:
No results in my province.

Craigslist:
67 results in my city.

It’s pretty clear which one people use the most, and really, that’s what matters. You want as many people as possible to see your ad.
The thing is, I think Craigslist is more popular in the US so the results there might be reversed.

Either way, I’ve always used Kijiji and my stuff usually sells within a day or two. It’s free, and not at all complicated.

In response to: Good Night Ms. Ratuski Wherever You Are

Comment from: Roger Jensen [Visitor]

Here it is March 13, 2012 and this would be the time of evening that I would listen to Northern Lights. A few minutes ago I was reminded of the program, so I ran the title through the search engine and found this blog site. I was listening the evening Andrea Ratuski announced that would be the last program. I was stunned when she made the announcement. To this day I still miss her nightly program, which I used to hear on CBR - 1010 AM in Calgary and also via the Internet, and I live down hear in northern Calif.

CBC, please bring back Northern Lights with Andrea Ratuski!
