I upgraded from Kubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.10 this morning.
This was via a fresh installation into a new partition.
Getting it running went fairly smoothly but trying to get the NVIDIA drivers working was a world of pain.
It seemed that no matter what I tried I always got the following error:
Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module
Every tip and bit of advice I found online didn’t...
As a follow-up to yesterday’s post on importing CDs I’ve decided to add my CD importing code to Google Code.
It lives here and can be checked out as follows:
svn checkout http://cdripper.googlecode.com/svn/ cdripper-read-only
I suspect it’s more useful as source code for people to look at than as a project for people to use.
It’s a little bit too much...
And here’s how a CD gets from HMV on to my iPod…
Hmmm, it’s complicated alright.
But it needs to be as I have several goals I am trying to meet.
Never have to rip the CD more than once.
I rip to FLAC format which is lossless so I can recreate the original wav file at any time.
Be able to play my music back from a variety of sources.
I need to be able to play music...
