One Time Pad encryption for puppy?!?! Congrats to you and thanks for doing this. I was pondering the onetimeness of a large random file. For true randomness I believe there was some project that recorded static and sender and receiver were supplied the same file. Each encypted file ate away part of ...

JWM .jwmrc, xorg.conf,

I thought it worked now I'm back to it randomly flipping whatever I'm moving to a different virtual screen. Its frustration talking so no one please take this too seriously but I've always wanted to ask if anyone knows why JWM wasn't just left alone. Not needing two different directories of xml file...

What a relief to have this feature turned off. I tried for a long time to figure out what I was doing to flip to a different display and never clued it that the scroll wheel was the source. Can someone explain what these two lines do? I've dug into JWM a bit and think its great but want to learn. If...

It ended up working pretty simply. I got the devx files for xenial and loaded them (They were .sfs format) I did the same fo the xebalpup 5.5 header files I went tto the NVIDiA site and downloaded the 410 driver after double checking it was the one they suggested. I then turned on permission to exec...

I have had occasion to figure something out then promptly forget all their weird things I had to do to get it working. This is part of the reason I'm making this. The second reason is that I've gotten tons of help (Which I appreciate) but I really want to know why I'm doing something. For example - ...

I was having some problems getting Virtual Box working on Xenalpup and made the brilliant decision to break out a laptop with Windows 7 and run my one of two programs (Circad / Radio Programming Software) on a machine bare metal.

We have installed a light rail system that is fast runs down people on a regular basis and costs much more then it takes in.

I ended up crashing and burning with the 304 nvidia driver. Running an Nvidea routine *Why? it all worked. Anyway I thought it might be time to open my wallet (gasp) and buy a slightly newer display board. I thought I was getting a discount special that used Nvidea 340.xx drivers but they had a shin...

James - Wow. Zero fooling around. I just loaded the .sfs file and restarted the machine. Your driver works on my good old (but reliable) GeForce 7600 GS. This is SO much better at the higher resolutions the NVIDA native driver provides.

Re: Nvidia drivers for Xenial64 7.5

Hesse James - I just wanted to thank you for doing the work to get NVIDIA 304.137 going. I spent many hours and gave up. I thought it was impossible. The generic driver limits my page oriented display to 768x1024. Do you think having a native driver helps get VirtualBox running!?!? Hello 666philb re...

Please ignore my bug report on USB 3. The particular board I was having problems with has never worked with linux. Its very hard to fix something that has never worked properly. I'm seriously annoyed.

I've finally found an explanation for my difficulties getting USB 3 to work with Tahr64. And it seems it has nothing to do with the operating system or the driver.

USB 3

Spent the morning reading complaints from people using all sorts of Distros that can't get USB3 to work. And it seems to be version after version so....
