Duct Tape and Circuits

I had the same problem when I installed openSuse 10.3 as I did when I upgraded to openSuse 11, in regards to a dual monitor set up. The nVidia drivers just did not give the option for dual monitor.

The first time through a good friend of mine helped me out with the problem. And determined that the wrong video driver was installed, which was true. We thought that perhaps this was the same problem this time around. But after checking we had the correct drivers. Read the rest of this entry »

Some days are worse then other the saying goes. But the title of this post seems to sum up how I have been feeling for the better part of the month. Makes it really tough getting out of bed in the mornings, though I do.

The last few months have been rather rough, not easy to cope with at all. Least for me at any rate, and that in it’s self bothers me. And I don’t have a clue on what to do about it.

I’ve been running the new version openSuse 11 for a couple of days now and as I would expect there are a “few” bugs in the system. Mainly in some of the KDE 4 apps, KMail being the most trouble some. all is well until you try to put in a filter, then it crashes.

There are a few other area’s where I have a few problems, just can’t remember them at the moment.

I do like the new features of KDE 4 and compiz, I thought it would be so much eye candy but after using it for a couple of days it ’s nice. Helps a bit with the organization of windows, which for some reason I seem to always have a lot open.

There have been more then a few complains on the suse forums of making KDE 4 the default install, cause of the problems. Which are to be expected even from suse, though it is far better then the troubles installing M$ Vista or upgrading to Vista.

My major problem with KDE 4 is setting up KDevelop 3 to work the way I want it to rofl.

I haven’t touched this site in a number of months and at this point I can’t remember what I was trying to do to be fully truthful about things. So I am reverting things back to what I do know about, mainly software, computers, ect. So I will make it a full blog again for the main purpose, if I start to move in other directions I’ll make a sub domain or something lol
