blimey! I tried to read the whole thing but gave up by page 20. Funny though, will put the forum on the map. Where abouts exactly is that road? I've been driving up that way lately, no chance of ice, no where near cold enough. Is it the A275 or something like that?

Get well soon Sheefa's girlfriend, a full and speedy recovery please ... I'm sure she will be fine in no time, she is in the best hands and everything - don't worry

:p

http://www.adslnation.com/products/xf-1e.php lol this filter in the daddy! get one and never worry about filters again!

Oh Nildram, I'm with them, maybe that's why my service has been spot on, some 3 years or so on now and not a moments trouble - highly recommeded! and for filters, that made a massive difference on my setup, don't scrimp on these. highly recommended http://www.adslnation.com/products/xf-1e.php they do inline filter sockets too

oooo post it! hope it is a good review though!

but if it is a line condition problem (which it probably is) it doesn't really matter who makes/supplies the equipment right? perhaps you should get the line tested (problem is I think they only do something when it starts to affect voice, you could try and convince them it is I guess...) my regular 8mb.s-1 adsl line is rock solid regardless of the weather so it doesn't always have to be bad. I was terrible a while back but they must have done something to the line itself

have you tried to see if there are any diagnostic codes? maybe Supradibbs on here could help, he is based in upper beeding area (but he might we away at the mo, can't remember if he is back).

what a spanner!

so what's compiz then? (sorry for being dumb - just getting back into linux stuff today) first day at new job today, playing with my old friend Java again tomcat, ant etc quite nice, my last job was a bit specialist embedded and a lot was C only, bit dull by comparison

Nice one. I must admit Centos4.4 went on like a breeze, video and X and everything I have FC6 here too but I wanted to use CentOS as it is a potential server at some stage. nice when it all starts working isn't it, can be a battle at times though. I remember with earlier RedHat doing battle to try and get the graphics working and X to start - usually a few beers helped in the end

Update! Ok think I've got it sussed for what I want to do at the moment. firstly I think it was originally working, just the client x server wasn't running properly. I've had that working since. But what I really wanted was a screen that behaves like you are sat at the actual machine as a new user... and I found this article http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20041117115414383 which explains how to use XDMCP over SSH (rather than just X11 forwarding). it's so simple but perfect for what I need. in a nutshell I just do: cygwin: startx ssh -X remote.host Xnest :1 -geometry 1280x810 -query localhost easy! I had to install xnest on the server of course and set XDMCP settings up... and I played with a few other things. that will do me for the moment. also got VNC going but it starts with a blank x and a terminal, not so user friendly impressed by CentOS4.4 and yum so far. Now I can configure my servers from the comfort of the front room and the laptop, lovely thanks for all the help guys and I'll have a further play with freenx/nxserver another day, got it all installed, just got stuck configuring the server end

strangely enough it does seem to work if I use XWin :0 -query remote_hostname_or_ip_address_0 just tried it and it spawned me a new desktop, I logged in and it fired up... just that this doesn't work over the ssh connection

ahhh right, me stupid, I thought it talked directly to the x server or something, will have a try of that then cheers

thanks for the help. tried xmin - failed tried nx client, created a gnome session and it did some stuff then reported: NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 2436 NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options NX> 200 Connected to address: 192.168.1.10 on port: 22 NX> 211 The authenticity of host '192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10)' can't be established.

NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey NX> 204 Authentication failed. -- which is kind of inline with some of the xterm errors I was getting which basically say xlib doesn't know what protocol to use which I think is a similar access/security setting problem on the server. I've disabled the firewall and security on the server, not sure what the issue is but does any of that info help?

still stuck I tend to get errors of the form: [louis@linux1 ~]$ xterm Xt error: Can't open display: [louis@linux1 ~]$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.2:0.0 if I run ssh -X -l louis 192.168.1.10 and optionally seting the $DISPLAY variable here (it defaults as blank which doesn't seem right) and then xterm& not sure in cygwin if I'm supposed to run startx first, I've tried with and without I've also added the ip to X access control using xhosts INET:192.168.1.2 on the server, still no go I give up, maybe I should drop cygwin and try something like xmin or something? Although downloading xmin seems impossible, really slow connection or something their end...

hmmm just given that a quick try with no luck. I've already got a vnc connected (x is started) so does that mean 0,0 is not available anyway? do I need to create a new display? hmmm going to have to do more battle with this tomorrow. seem to remember doing this with RH9 wasn't so troublesome, but I've probably forgotten something, it's been a while

Ok, so all was going well this evening. CentOS 4.4, partition and install = OK Startup and configure = OK Update my cygwin installs = OK Update OpenSSH = Ok Connect via ssh = OK try to run a remote xterm over an ssh connection = NO GO! help, I thought I could suss it out but now I'm tired and I give in I connect to the new server using something like: ssh -X -l username host seems good then I try xterm& and it fails with: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: I've tried changing the sshd_config to enable x11 forwarding and tcp forwarding I've been into the settings for the server logon screen and enabled XDMCP and I've unchecked the "always disallow tcp connections to x server..." but still no go when logged in the DISPLAY variable is still set to blank, I thought this should be filled in automatically any ideas what is up? Should post on an IT forum really, just I know there are a fair few IT bods on here, any pointers much appreciated. First time I've used centos and I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvous...

my monitor at work (LCD widescreen) does 1920x1200, so it can do proper 1080p - but like you say, sources of that are few and far between. Give it another couple of years and it will be in every home. Remember when dvd was new, I payed well over £200 for my 1st dvd player with surround built in and mp3 support, now you can get them in tescos for like 15 quid or somesome lol - mind you, mine is still going strong

yep been using a projector for a couple of years now I've heard that high def gaming it pretty cool I don't get a lot of time to play games, but I loved grand tourismo on the projector with the stereo turned up. With the screen taking up all your vision it's very imersing - after a while it starts to feel real lol

lol, phwoooar have I told you about the size of my living room? lol couldn't agree more, its what you watch that counts I just like the home cinema experience from time to time, love a good film me

well I'm spoilt, I can get a 300" picture, that is 300"/50" = 6 times the diagonal, or 6^2 = 36 times bigger lol, you would need 36 55" plasmas to fill that area. Although in the front room typically we use a tichy little 80" picture

only 55", pfft its just a toy nice one

itunes can do it automatically if memory serves, it's a free download away...

I also thought iridiums last much longer than 8k, mine have been in for around that and it's never missed a beat. Just to clarify, if you have a wideband AFR then an EGT is of no use for any other purpose? That seems to be what is being said. Excellent article btw, very clear and informative PS: is it worth mentioning that the intercooler (stock smic or even aftermarket fmic) must be in good condition to cope?
