Yep, Nvidia card and its not wanting to play nicely. Boots up so far and then screen freeze. Has the GTX980 card in it and I don't think there exist Linux divers for it yet.

I had that same trouble around 2005 when I was a little whippersnapper first trying Debian I think!!! Had a fellow Gamer/Friend in my Clan SSH into my computer to make it work for me lol

As for Windows, I use to HATE ATI drivers with a passion!! Always used (I'm drawing a blank here)"Modded" Drivers..

 

[roxynoodle]

OOPS! I'd be sorry if I wasn't me!

I'm jealous

Once you get past the initial setup and learning curve with Linux, you will never go back to Microsoft. I been exclusively Linux for the last 4 years or so and pretty much problem free.

You are going to make Spanky jealous

No. He really isn't!

Neither will any mod to date. Some claim to but at best it is only dry wick protection. Watch the reviews.

I chose to miss it. Need to put that $800 back into my savings I spent in January. It will probably take me a year.

Inconsequential, being as I don't use it. lol

Ah

Roxynoodle is my horse. The only one I have left. She will be 20 on May 1. I can't believe my baby is a senior now.

Ah, I thought it was from your post-skunk encounter, soak in the spaghetti sauce...

 

[JuicyLucy]

Hey, Moueix, hey Moueix,

 

[Moueix]

Yep, I saw the same exact thing last night, and it was also from Mouieix. When it happened once, I thought, oh maybe he edited the post after posting it... but a 2nd time, I'm wondering what sorta hell is up with the software.

Andria

Might be because I was posting from my phone. My fingers are too big for the little "like" button apparently, and I hit "reply" instead relatively often..
Sorry Andria!! All of your posts are eminently quotable, but I don't actually quote them all.

Andria

Andria (yes, I AM quoting your post ) Can you not use natural gas or propane? When I switched YEARS ago from electric to propane, ZOMG, my electric bill went down MUCH MUCH more than my propane bill went UP.

I bet! In the upstairs, I have to warm 100' of pipe before it gets warm up there, and then all that pipe just sits there, cooling off, and helping make the A/C run in the summer. SO inefficient.

We have a gas water heater right now... and everytime it comes on, I smell gas. I want that toxic shit OUTTA HERE!!!!!

It's entirely worth it to me to have a higher electric bill, and know that I won't expire in my sleep of CO poisoning -- at least, not when the furnace is off anyway.

Andria

ETA: it's an energy efficient model anyway... and we get a $150 rebate from our EMC, and will probably get a tax credit on next year's taxes.

You should only smell the gas if there is a leak. That is very dangerous

 

[AndriaD]

That's why i want it outta here! the most dangerous thing an electric one will do is... not work!

My husband is currently hunting up a contractor to do the conversion for us... which is why we had to wait till we got the fed refund to go with our state refund, so we could afford it.

Yeah, that shit is never cheap, even if you do it all yourself.

Well, we'll need a new 240v thing installed; the gas turned off at the water heater, and capped; the old heater removed, and the new one, which we'll buy ourselves, installed. so we need both an electrician and a plumber; it seems smartest to just get a contractor instead of parting it out -- a lot less headache.

It's not a 240v thing, it's a 240v thingy damnit!

Damn that's sexy! OK, maybe not as sexy as Always's feet, but pretty close.

I dunno if you remember it from the old tootle puffer thread, but the reason I'm even mentioning all this water heater schtuff is because it's been something we've wanted to do for over a year now -- last year got the TP thread almost completely sidetracked with all the whatnot about water heaters, and you know how THOSE mods were with off-topic schtuff! But I had to buy a new laptop last year so I could get rid of my outdated XP Pro box, and there wasn't enough $$ left over.... so it gets done this year! Water heater, ho! And no, it's not pink... it says it's gray.

Andria....240V water heaters are fairly inexpensive if you look around, I had a 50 gallon installed for $450.00 including the water heater. They nail you with the labor cost. Friend of mine is a plumber, so he got it wholesale, hopefully you can find a plumber that won't rip you off. The retail price is more than double wholesale.
