Disappointed with the latest release of Ubuntu, I decided to try something else. And here it is, the new openSUSE 11.

From installation to writing this post, i haven’t faced any problems yet. Everything was configured without any problems. The new Nvidia 173.14.09 linux driver release works perfectly. At first, there was no sound and I thought it’s caused by Pulseaudio just like what I’ve experienced in Ubuntu Hardy. But it is solved after a few configuration with alsamixer.

I’ve installed Mozilla Firefox 3, Google Earth, XMMS, K3b, Apache, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Wine, Tremulous, VLC player, Bluefish, and many other applications. Everything works great!! CompizConfig manager is installed by default so you can straight away show off the desktop effects to Vista’s fan around you after the installation.

I have to admit that Ubuntu has the best community support, for example Ubuntuforums. However, openSUSE also provides adequate information and documentation including installation & configuration guides, tutorials and HOWTOs which you can find it at http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation. The community support is also satisfactory although it cannot beat Ubuntu’s community.. for now… :p

There are 3 possible reasons for “ignoring MD5Tool queries” kick:

1. Nvidia drivers
2. Firewall, anti-virus software, spywares or viruses
3. YOU ARE USING STREAMYX!!!

For those who might not understand the third and most mentioned reason, it means SLOW/BAD INTERNET CONNECTION!!!

190+ ms latency is the best i can get with this idiot bullshit 1Mbps Screamyx~!! Now I’m getting complaints by other AA players.

“Permainan online anda lebih hebat dengan streamyx”, this ONLY refers to flash games, not multiplayer games!! Now i can’t enjoy playing AA after work!! Thanks to f**kin TMNut Screamyx!!

Just updated my Ubuntu Hardy box last night, and this is what happened after reboot.

Yes, I’m writing this post with 800×600 res with my 20″ widescreen. It sucks, ain’t it?

Don’t exactly know what causes it but I’m pretty sure that linux-restricted-modules-common and the new kernel restricted modules is the culprit here. I’ve tried to change the X server config by running nvidia-xconfig but it doesn’t work. Seems like the X server is using xorg.conf.failsafe instead of xorg.conf. I’m still trying to find the solution though.
