Ubuntu 11.10 up and running....

A lot of small and visual enhancements, tones of fixes, way to go Ubuntu!

Converting Windows 7 partition into a VMWare to run inside linux

After some research I found that the easiest (less painful) way to make that happen is installing VM Converter in your windows in order to generate the image of your VM: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/ Copy the file to somewhere on your network and then back to your linux machine. Install VMWare player or Virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) and enjoy it. ***This will not work If you have win7 64 bits and your linux is 32 :(

Ubuntu 11.04 + HP Touchsmart IQ 500* with sound! Finally!!!

Man, that took longer that I imagined. Made me remember 1994, Windows 3.0 and a Creative labs of 128 bits sound card that I bought for a small fortune. Here it goes: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf Add this to the end (if you do not have it there yet): alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=touchsmart Reboot! PS: Before I did that only the headsets were working and no inputs.
