Tue May 6 16:32:31 EST 2008 Installing the flash player plugin in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) -> Won't install from the "install plugin" dialog in Firefox, complais about broken repositories; -> Managed to install it with: cd /tmp wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.124.0ubuntu2_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.124.0ubuntu2_i386.deb Tue May 6 16:22:15 EST 2008 Blue Screen Of Death on Windows XP install in machine with PCI-Express X16 video card Message: "The video driver failed to initialize" Codes: "STOP: 0x000000B4 (0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00050000)" Situation: Installing Windows XP SP1 from CD on a new machine (motherboard AOpen i975Xa-YDG with a PCI-Express X16 Geforce 7900GT video card); Windows XP hangs in the middle of installation, right in the beginning of the first graphical boot. Solution: Move the video card from the second X16 slot (nearer the power supply) to the first (farther from the power supply) and restart the install. After Windows XP is installed and upgraded to SP2, you can move the video card to the second slot if you want (I did as it provided for better airflow inside the computer). ==Eof==
