    F@H problems

    To help you , we have to know if you are attempting to run the GPU or the CPU client, what version, and what OS. Was it running before, and it has stopped running, or is it a new install? If you are trying the GPU client in Linux/WINE, what WINE version are you running? My understanding after...

    F@H problems

    It isn't easy, that's for sure. You need WINE and the correct wrapper for GPU folding, and TONS of patience. No single install guide seemed to worked for my particular setup, so I had to fight through it until it worked. I finally got it working a year or so ago, then they rewrote the wrapper...

    Notification of replies to your threads

    Brian, go to Dan's post and follow his 1,2,3 instructions carefully. I'm pretty sure that you didn't follow #2.

    The page you posted above isn't the page Dan is referring to; that is the 'alert preferences' page, not the general preferences. You are referring to email notifications, right? Then you are in the wrong place. Maybe you already know that, but in case you don't... :)

    Nvidia Overclocking?

    BIOS mods on Nvidia cards aren't difficult. Google 'NiBiTor' or 'Fermi BIOS Editor' and take a look at the utility. Fermi BIOS Editor isn't being developed anymore, but it works fine on my 470/680 Fermi cards. For older non-Fermi cards, NiBiTor works fine for changes in the core clock...

    Windows 7 and Grub

    ia32-libs should do it for you in *buntu, as I recall.

    Windows 7 and Grub

    Yeah, that is a tough problem. Basically, Windows wants to own the MBR, and it isn't very friendly about it, so it should be installed first, before GRUB/Linux. I did have a similar problem once before, and did some research. I found some accounts of being able to fix Windows overwriting the...

    New desktop after a few years of pause

    You might want to consider an Nvidia card at this point in time, rather than AMD. Drivers are better in both Windows and Linux, and reports say that support is better as well.

    iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

    I had that same error in qbittorrent; I filed a bug there and a fix came fairly quickly. In my research I found there are many apps which suffer from it since the libpng update.

    I am deleting Winblows

    Chris, try your adobe stuff with WINE first. It's well-documented that Photoshop runs well under WINE. Use a VM/Windows for stuff that refuses to run. I think you'll find they are few in number.

    I am deleting Winblows

    Remember that you can always install Windows in a Virtual Machine within your Linux install, and run stuff that WINE can't handle. VMs are fairly easy to create in Linux, and I have found them to be quite stable most of the time.

    Using rsync for backup

    I once played around with dd, figured out how to make an image the way I wanted to, but had problems with the restore syntax, so I gave up. Maybe it's time I tried again.

    Using rsync for backup

    I've tried several backup solutions with mixed results. My usual problem is that, at least for me, there seem to always be some permission issues that come to light. For some reason, it's usually sometime down the road, so I don't realize the issues exist right away. I'm too time-limited [read...

    Nvidia 331.20 driver

    That's interesting, I've been running that driver for a couple of weeks as well as the new X version, and haven't seen any of the issues you're talking about in Gentoo. I'll keep a closer watch and see if anything turns up.

    One of my new toys

    Best thing to do on those boxen without video cards is to use tiling WMs like Openbox or Xmonad if you really, really need a GUI desktop. You will not have any problems with those as far as speed is concerned.

    Portal 2: $5. Good deal.

    Good price, and better than the first Portal game IMHO. http://store.steampowered.com/app/620/?snr=1_620_4__46
