Finally sorted this out and it didn't cost a penny. I remembered that I had s**t loads of coax from years ago, so I've coaxed half the house lol and I now have an interference free picture :) Using the existing sender for the remote.

Pidgin does the job for me and it will even under Windows. http://www.pidgin.im/

Ebay probably. http://buy.ebay.co.uk/micro-sd

ah right, cheers :)

It does have RCA connectors doesn't it? Keep reading SCART.

I bought my current one years ago, isn't even branded. I guess technology moves on so should be a vast improvement. I'll shop round for it cheap :)

Reviews seem good on that one, cheers :)

Getting tired of the seemingly random interference with mine. I only have to nudge a cable and suddenly I'm getting scrolling lines down the screen. Can anyone recommend a good (as in no interference at all) AV sender? I use the receiver directly above the room with the sender in. If I wasn't...

:lolup: :rofl: Bear in mind what you've been told when the next Windows threat pops up on the BBC news website or in a years time when you're asking how to remove half the alphabet that's suddenly shown up when you ran hijackthis.

I sync at 8Mb (Pipex) as well but get from 2 - about 6.5 depending on time of day.

Ho fast does BT reckon you can go? http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=16738

So what on earth does "pre-packed" refer to then lol From what I know, under ubuntu all you've installed is the nvidia driver as well.

ok so forget that, Vista is still not pre-packed unless it now comes with an office suite and decent graphics editor etc.

Can't speak for Vista but XP never had drivers for my video card, sound card, network card or scanner.

It's not really pre-packed. You have to install your video drivers, sound drivers, network driver, scanner drivers, printer drivers etc from CD or a separate download. It doesn't come with a decent graphics package and no office suit, it's bundled email client is stripped down etc etc. The...

http://www.jonlee.ca/installing-xubuntu-without-a-cd-drive-the-weekend-project-continued/ That gives you methods to install without a CD and links to this for installing from a partition: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows or you could give this a go, it's fairly new so...

It's never been accurate in Windows for as long as I can remember! You'd think they would have fixed it by now.

ubuntu does have a 6 monthly release cycle though, I always fresh install rather than upgrade. Gutsy is out in October, shame he didn't install tribe 5. (tribe 6 in 3 days time)

Here's what my desktop currently looks like. Click to enlarge.

Once it's setup that's the end of it though, should be problem free. You've done very well so far, be a shame to give up now.

To get nvidia-settings to actually save any changes it has to be run with sudo, that menu item isn't set up for it. You can edit the menu or just open terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings Now when you make any changes in thet GUI and click save, it will save.

Once fixed, turn off and go to bed!

sudo dpkg --configure -a

lol great run that code in terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) dpkg --configure -a If it complains about privileges then stick sudo in front of it.

Isn't a shortcut by default. Go to System -> Administration -> System Monitor You could add it to a panel. Right click -> add to panel -> system monitor Just click on it to open it up.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, it's security!! Important things ask for your permission. You should NEVER even think about trying to disable it.

lol mate take a break, you've been at it for ages. However... Applications -> Add/Remove Choose "All Available Applications" from the drop down menu Click Other on the menu at the left Install Ubuntu-restricted-extras

If it's not worked then apparently the envy script might sort you out. Just download the deb, double click to install then find it in Applications - > System Tools http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.9.7-0ubuntu8_all.deb

changes won't be lost but without looking over your shoulder I couldn't tell you whether you'll get back to a GUI heh
