Hmmm... Never seen this before. Try using host 127.0.0.1 or host localhost instead of the URI option. You can also try starting OpenLDAP in debug mode in one terminal session and running ldapsearch in another. Watch the output from the debug mode to see what is happening.

Once you disable X, then you can check out the rc init.d files for setting up startup scripts, etc.

Minor Sound Issues
Published (2009-11-03 12:37:00)
Been noticing that all my sounds (events, media players, streaming radio/TV) tend to be a bit higher pitched (suffering from the chipmunk syndrome) than when it's played in Window$. I suspect it has something to do with the driver. Still new to the arena though, so I'm not sure how to properly diagnose the problem. Also, for some reason, the sound tends to be much lower than on Windows (gotta max the system volume AND turn up the...

Did a search on google and it seems you are not the only one with the problem: http://www.google.com.jm/search?hl=e...meta=&aq=f& oq= There is some mention of using the failsafe Xorg.conf file till the matter is resolved, but the screen would be a bit small. Also, there was some mention of the ati driver not seeing 4GB or more of RAM, not sure how true this is.

Yes you can install Linux on your old PCs. But only programs written for Linux will work in a Linux environment and the same applies Microsoft and Mac OS. However some versions of Linux ship with Open office. This is a Office Productivity Suite that is free. It comes with programs similar to Word, Excel etc. Files saved in the correct format on your Linux machine will be available for use on ...

I have Linux Mint installed on my system alongside Windows (used mint4win , so same partition). I would like to switch from Mint to pure Ubuntu KK. How can I go about saving the apps and settings from Mint and restore them in Ubuntu? Also, is it possible to have it as a completely separate OS and also have the benefits of andLinux ?
