i have to use some pretty extreme equalization to get rid of the stupid riaa lowpass built into the inputs im currently forced to use so i usually have to use 2 equalizers chained together

Found this one: http://www.ludd.luth.se/~torger/brutefir.html

Seems pretty advanced though, so I hope you understand it.

Quote from Shotglass :

btw is there a global equalizer for linux ? the kind you get with any sound card driver in windows these days

Dunno about global equalizer, but most media players have built-in equalizers.
I use Amarok for my music listening.

^^ I tried the Ubuntu Live CD but it didn't pick up my network adapter

EDIT - it's a NETGEAR WG311v2 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter

Quote from ajp71 :

Is there any way of getting Linux drivers for my Philips sound card and Netgear network adapter? Otherwise Linux is pointless to me.

Check if your soundcard is supported here.
What Netgear adapter or what chip does it use?
You can always try and download a LiveCD and see if you sound card/network adapter works there. It will usually autodetect all supported hardware and load the drivers for you.

If it was up to me which OS should rule the world, it wouldn't be neither XP, Vista or Linux. It would be BeOS. I've never been so impressed by an OS as when I first tried it years back. Excellent filesystem, speed and API.

Ducky the pecker, you're a n00b!

You can run, but you can't hide! :elefant:

ive been brought up with dos when i was like 6 and i learned autoexec and config settings at atorung 10
so its kinds hard for me to get into linux ... took me at least a month to _not_ type dir first and now after using linux at uni quite a lot im at the point where i type ls in windows shells ... its a curse really

But yeah, it took me a while too when I got into Linux to learn the commands and filesystem layout. So no doubt that someone who's never tried Linux before will have some trouble getting around.

i guess i could figure it out but i really cant be bothered to wait hours for the installation to finish only to find outs it doesnt run any faster than a generic i386 build

It's true that it takes a while to install, and every program you install must be compiled, and that takes some time too. Gentoo is a source based distribution, as there are no precompiled binaries being installed. It's all being compiled and optimized for your computer. Portage is the heart of this. To quote from the Gentoo website:

"Portage is also a package building and installation system. When you want to install a package, you type emerge packagename, at which point Portage automatically builds a custom version of the package to your exact specifications, optimizing it for your hardware and ensuring that the optional features in the package that you want are enabled -- and those you don't want aren't."

So yes, Gentoo is not for the typical user, but more for those experienced Linux users who wants the most configurable and fastest Linux system available.

Congrats to (V) R.Mooney for taking the victory in round 3.

Sorry but no one beats Jan Terri, except maybe the infamous dead super-antirockstar that I'm unwilling to mention because no video of him could be considered safe for work, and most clips are simply outrageous. If you don't know Jan Terri be careful, this video (and others from her) could give you the creeps.

I love ugly music.

OMG! That's Terri(ble)! :irked:

Oh, and if I'm not there during the qualify and race, someone please save the replays and give me a link to where I can download them. So I can make the statistics.

I think it should be alright. There's 20 drivers, and 3 slots for officials. I was thinking of taking one of those slots myself, but I can watch it from the spectator or lfstv if you set that up. Besides, if the Core team doesn't show up like last time there will be an additional 2 slots available.

Quote from Shotglass :

ah yeah .... did that and the grub installer was rubbish ... took me quite a while to figure it out and even then it forgot all my settings after a system update

Ok, haven't tried it myself, only heard good things about it. I like to be in control of things and configure stuff by hand, that's why I use Gentoo. But then I've used Linux for like 15 years, so I have no problems fixing issues.

True Linux geeks uses Gentoo. :nerd:

If you wanna try out a somewhat user friendly Linux distro, check out Kubuntu for example.

Of course, I mixed up CET and UTC. Sooorry!

Yep (Perhaps not the very first but it was same design afaik)

Wonder how that would work nowadays?

UK is in the CET/GMT timezone, so those times mentioned above will be your actual times. Norway/Sweden is in CET+1, so 19:00 CET is 20:00 for us.

BERYL!

Strange, I see the same thing. I used to have around 60ms ping to our team servers, now it's around 360ms.

Quote from Hyperactive :

The speedo is now like it should be. Chances are it won't change in the next, because it is now like it should be. The current way of doing it has my 100% support.

I guess that's been debated up and down before, so I will not pursue that further, other than I slightly disagree.

Quote from Hyperactive :

U30 works still. Is there some special reason why you want to use U over U30?

Mainly because I'm not getting the same flow driving the later patches due to different speedo reading and the new sounds. I was planning on sticking to U until the next incompatible patch came out. But I think I'll just keep using U for hotlapping and install V for online use.

So if I want to stick with version U, I can't race online anymore? That sucks.

Anyone know how I can redirect the old master server ip to the new one? If that's possible?

Works fine here.

Yep, that's what I've experienced too. They don't seem to work good together, so I usually turn off lfslapper when we need to have insim running for spectator. Enabling insim relay at lfsworld seems to kill the lfslapper after a couple of minutes.
