knickers.untwist. It's a standard method of someone telling you that you might wish to reconsider any further posting on a matter. Justified or not, it's long been a "fun trait" of lists like nznog. Don't stress. And no, it wasn't me. G.
Ive just bought a new laptop. I specifically asked the guy at Dick Smith for one that had no hardware issues re: Linux, I asked him 3 times about the wireless (thats what I really wanted) and he said not a prob So as you can guess I spent the better part of last night and today trying to get wireless working on my ubuntu Its an Asus laptop with a broadcom wireless, I have been bashing my head against the desk following tutorials on ndiswrapper to no avail. Before I lose my rag with the guy at Tricky Dickys, has anyone succeeded with said chipset? Have I borked something? Also, I installed kubuntu-desktop and kde does *not* like the lcd for some reason, if I launch an app all is fine, until I move or close the window. Then I am left with a screen of .... for want of a better word.. crap. I have a screenshot at http://shanes.dyndns.org/screenshot1.png One final thing.. I cant get dvd's to play, I have mpegs playing fine, the dvd is mounted ok, and the files are readable just nothing will play them, not totem, not mplayer. Windows is having no troubles. So its not a hardware issue. </gripe> Any help appreciated Shane

No, because someone following along on IRC, who isn't a WLUG member (and isn't even subscribed to the mailing list), decided that he would take matters into his own hands. I've asked the person in question not to do it again, but unfortunately due to the nature of the web interface there's nothing I can do to enforce this. Please don't consider the action in any way to reflect on the LUG. However, for future reference, forwarding the message (including the confirmation URL required to action an unsubscribe) back to the mailing list is probably a bit dangerous. :) Craig (List-admin)

Nice of them.

Glad to hear it wasn't :)

I had canceled the requested before posting, but yes, probably not the smartest thing. Michael
