1 of the 'Girls,' Zosia Mamet, shines in Season 2
NEW YORK There has been a lull. Talk of "Girls" settled down after its bombshell first season as fans took the opportunity to catch their breath.
That ends now. "Girls" is returning for its second season, Sunday at 9 p.m. EST. HBO's saga of four young women living in New York will then resume, with their struggles almost certain to inspire another round of amused if pained recognition on the part of the show's devotees.
"Girls," of course, was created by Lena Dunham, now 26, who also stars as Hannah, a would-be but none-too-successful writer living in Brooklyn. Hannah's circle of highly verbal, overanalytical chums includes Marnie, a gallery assistant played by Allison Williams; sexy self-absorbed bohemian Jessa (Jemima Kirke); and Jessa's cousin, the naive motormouth Shoshanna, whose coming-of-age in the first season included losing her virginity and accidentally smoking crack.
Shoshanna has other things going on. In the season opener, she is first glimpsed in her bedroom waving a smudge stick as she thanks "the higher powers for all the gifts I have already received: a keen mathematical mind and fairly fast-growing hair."
It's a testament to "Girls" that a moment like this feels as authentic as it is funny.
But what does it all mean? Zosia Mamet, who plays Shoshanna with frank, wide-eyed honesty, is being grilled by a reporter for surely the zillionth time. Still, she's game to help account for what makes "Girls" a show people talk about so passionately.
"This time period has been written about before, but in a very glossy way," says Mamet in a determined near-whisper. "People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant. What Lena has written reveals that, and it speaks to a lot of people."
Mamet, who turns 25 next month, hastens to add that she is living a much different life from Shoshanna and company. Unlike them, she found her direction early on: "By the time I was 17," she says, "I was in the flux of this crazy industry pushing to be an actress, which I wanted more than anything in the world."
Nonetheless, the trial-and-error lifestyle portrayed on "Girls" resonates for Mamet and loads of people she knows as they reach the expiration date for their precociousness.
"There's this inescapable moment in your early 20s, no matter how you get there, of feeling like everything you've known up until then is either wrong or doesn't fit," she declares, "and suddenly you're faced with this feeling of `Who the (heck) am I? How do I do life? HOW is life DONE?'"
Even the characters' well-intentioned efforts at good times are often stressful and humiliating. (And sometimes cringe-inducing for viewers, for whom "Girls," unlike most TV shows, serves as a graphic reminder that sex between young people can be shockingly un-sexy.)
In this way, among many, does the tone of "Girls" strike a perfectly unsettling balance.
"Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it," says Mamet. "In this show there are very uncomfortable, very real situations that can make me cry and laugh at the same time."

A faded photo taken 31 years ago shows Sister Rene Weeks standing in an alfalfa field west of the Dominican Sisters' motherhouse in Great Bend. Soon the sisters would begin an ambitious undertaking, building Cedar Park Place, a housing complex intended primarily for low income elderly and disabled occupants.
SALINA - Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland will host the 45th Annual See 'N Sell Arts and Crafts show Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Salina Bicentennial Center. The doors will open at 8 a.m. and the show will run through 4 p.m. The first 100 ticket holders through the door will receive a free goody bag filled with items and See 'N Sell bucks that have a cash value at the vendors' booths. Advance tickets may be purchased at a reduced rate of $4 or at the door for $5.
The seventh annual Fall Gospel Sings Concerts start at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, and continue on Saturday, Oct. 22, with live music from 1-9 p.m., all at Barton Community College's Fine Arts Auditorium, 245 NE 30 Road.
Roger Brining was in the sixth grade the first time he saw a model airplane in flight. He was with his father, a pilot, and they were near Sterling.
Most students at Barton Community College still have several weeks before they have to turn in their final papers, but the college has until Nov. 1 to submit its AQIP Portfolio to the Higher Learning Commission. This document, which will be used in the college's re-accreditation process, was recently completed and the final draft will go to the board of trustees next week for approval.
Megan Hammeke is the Great Bend Recreation Commission's newest recreation coordinator, in charge of programs for senior citizens and people with special needs, as well as the summer aquatics program. GBRC Director Diann Henderson introduced Hammeke to the recreation commission's board of directors when it met Monday.
A half inch of rain may have kept their solar oven from working Saturday, but it couldn't dampen the spirits of the hosts of Heartland Farm's Open Farm Day.
The Great Bend Police Department has some stolen items and would like to see them returned to their rightful owners, Detective Terry Millard said.
Prosecutors in the capital murder case against Adam Joseph Longoria announced Thursday that they won't seek the death penalty if he is convicted.
The Barton Community College Board of Trustees may consider a plan to allow limited bow hunting at the college's Camp Aldrich.
When text messages were exchanged between Adam Longoria's and Alicia DeBolt's cell phones, Nex-Tech Wireless towers were collecting the data. That was the source of much of the testimony on Wednesday, as Longoria's second preliminary hearing in connection with the Great Bend teenager's murder got under way.
Great Bend Community Theatre kicks off its 2011-12 season this week with a comedy about the crew of a Broadway-bound play.
Attorneys for Adam Longoria have filed a new motion seeking to have his case thrown out of court, saying the Kansas Attorney General's Office has prejudiced potential jurors through the media. At the same time, defense attorneys are asking the court to reinstate some of the privileges Longoria lost after making statements to reporters this past summer.
Animal prints are still in style this autumn as ladies wear longer sleeves and add layers to their fashion ensembles. Volunteers modeled clothes from four Great Bend clothing stores Monday at the Fall Style Show, sponsored by the Great Bend Senior Center and the Recreation Commission.
The preliminary hearing for the man arrested after the death of a 15-year-old runaway did not happen on Thursday as scheduled.

Problems like this take generations to get this bad but can be broken in one with a commitment to equip your child with values, resources, and skills. Some "parents" are just babymakers today and don't know where to begin. It does not take a village. I am a male single parent and I chose to break the cycle of dysfunction for my children and am proud of their passing on the discipline, conduct, and structure to offer their children the same... So sad for Albany...........

Once again the school system gets a failing grade and not just in Albany. I graduated DHS in '69 and went on to college without any remedial classes before I could take the "101" classes. We are taking this "melting pot" nation down the road of divisiveness instead of diversity. Yes, I have pride in my ancestry but I don't claim to be a ??????-American. I am an American. Nations(a vast majority 3rd world) claim their religion, tribe, clan, ethnicity, etc. before they claim their nationality. The sooner we start teaching good old reading, writing, and arithmetic and have families that value education, honesty, showing up on time, and the list goes on we will be hard pressed to find qualified burger flippers much less anyone that knows how to use a bunsen burner or that can solve a calculus equation...Throw in a Civics class too...... When the cheaters are the teachers, what do we expect the kids to learn?????

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Yet, with two well-received albums on the local Igmod label (including their 1995 debut under the moniker Little Big Band) and a substantial local following, the group has assailed the jazz world at large by adopting a very indie-rock approach to getting the word out. "What we're doing is so incredibly similar to so many rock bands," Little says. "We get in a van, and we play our shows, and we put out our own records. And if no one wants to sign us, well..." he pauses. "Whereas a typical jazz band plays the Dakota or Artists' Quarter once or twice a month and then plays jobbing dates and that sort of thing."
If Happy Apple (whose "energy" Bates admires) has won its avid local following by augmenting prog-rock-tinged jazz fusion with ingratiating onstage high jinks, the Motion Poets have gone in another direction, deploying the quiet, yet self-reliant practices of '80s garage bands, whose sound Bates admits he can't tolerate. But unlike bands that share their promotional proclivities--jazz-funkers Medeski, Martin, and Wood or post-Tortoise musicians Isotope 217--the Motion Poets plainly do not cross over.
At their best they don't so much reinvent or even recast, as rediscover. What comes across is the joy of hearing someone else's conversion experiences. As any garage-rocker will tell you, that feeling isn't specific to jazz. It's what has inspired anyone who ever tried to reproduce a hero's magic--who ever tried to make it new. And it speaks volumes to anyone who can identify with the evangelical anger of jazz writer Garry Giddin's plea for fin de siècle common sense: "Old guys, yes! Retro, never!" And young old guys--that's probably OK, too.
Motion Poets play February 5 and 6 at the Dakota Bar & Grill; (651) 642-1442.

At present, reaching a diagnosis for depression typically involves interviews with the patient, resulting in a drawn out and costly process. Some recent research efforts have sought to address this, such as a diagnostic technique that measures electrical activity in the brain to more quickly detect mental illness. Now a team of Austrian researchers has demonstrated a link between levels of serotonin in the blood and the depression network in the brain, meaning that diagnosing depression could soon become a much more efficient undertaking.

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 107 million blood donations are collected globally every year. Nonetheless, blood is often in short supply – particularly in developing nations. Despite new safeguards, there's also still the risk of incompatibility, or of infections being transmitted from donors to recipients. Charitable organization the Wellcome Trust hopes to address these problems, by developing the ability to manufacture blood outside of the body. Last week, it announced that test subjects should begin receiving transfusions of blood made with lab-grown red blood cells by late 2016. Read More
During surgery, patients' blood is often "spilt." Such blood can be returned to the body, so long as it has been properly processed to ensure that it is not tainted. The Brightwave Hemosep autotransfusion machine can do this – and its prototyping costs have been cut by 96 percent via 3D printing. Read More
Headaches, nausea, weakness and dizziness, combined with a feeling that you just can't get enough oxygen with each breath are just some of the signs of altitude sickness. Researchers have now found a link between the abnormal breathing patterns experienced while sleeping at altitude and the symptoms of altitude sickness, particularly headaches. The finding suggests that finding a way to breath normally while sleeping could provide a way to combat such symptoms. Read More
Finger-prick technique opens door for DIY stem cell donors
By Grant Banks
March 24, 2014
Harvesting samples for producing stem cells can be rather painful. Techniques can involve collecting large amounts of blood, bone marrow or skin scrapes. The reality is intrusive measures such as these can be very off-putting. But what if it was as simple as a finger-prick? Such a DIY approach, which is so easy it can be done at home or in the field without medical staff, has been developed by researchers at Singapore's A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB).

Blood test determines severity of concussions
By Darren Quick
March 16, 2014
It wasn't so long ago that shaking off a knock to the head and getting back on the field was seen as a sign of toughness for sportspeople. But in recent years, increased awareness of the potential for long-term damage has put the seriousness of concussion in the spotlight. Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy in Sweden have now developed a blood test that reveals the severity of a concussion and when it is safe for a player to return to the game. Read More
New device uses laser to provide life-saving information on patients' blood
February 24, 2014
Not everyone's blood clots at the same rate. While that might seem like simply an interesting bit of trivia, it's anything but trivial to doctors performing operations or emergency procedures, who need to know what might be required in the way of transfusions or anticoagulant drugs. Now, an optical device can provide them with that information within minutes. Read More
New bioprinting technique creates thicker, healthier tissue
By Nick Lavars
February 23, 2014
The notion of 3D printed biological tissue holds all kinds of possibilities for drug testing and the reparation of damaged cells, though replicating the complexities of human tissue in a lab presents some very big challenges. A new bioprinting method developed by researchers from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University has enabled the creation of tissue constructs with small blood vessels and multiple cell types, marking important progress toward the printing of living tissue.

How is it possible that cold-blooded fish such as cod can live in Arctic waters without just freezing solid? As it turns out, they've got proteins in their bloodstream that act as a sort of antifreeze. British scientists have now copied the fashion in which those proteins work, to create a process by which donated human blood could be frozen for storage, then quickly made available for transfusion.

smartCARD lets users check their cholesterol via an iPhone

Although a lot of people are concerned about monitoring their cholesterol levels, probably not many of those people want to head off to a clinic or use an expensive, complicated device to get those levels tested every few days. Soon, however, they may not have to. Scientists from Cornell University have developed a gadget called the smartCARD, that allows users to easily check their own cholesterol using their iPhone.

Chinese money has been going overseas for years now, snapping up real estate, technology companies, and more than anything, oil and gas resources. But this year will be a turning point: For the first time, Chinese overseas investment will surpass foreign direct investment into China.
Chinese investment is poised to exceed $120 billion in 2014, up from $108 billion last year, predicts the Beijing-based Center for China & Globalization in a report released Wednesday. Foreign investment into China totaled $87.36 billion in the first nine months. It is expected to reach $120 billion this year.
"China's sustainable growth and its ability to compete on the world stage hinge upon the speed at which it can foster its own powerful international companies," said Long Yongtu, the chairman of the center, the China Daily reported today. "'Going out' will provide a platform for Chinese companies to grow through participation in the global economy."

Excellent advise from all. We actually can afford to "assgn space" and the ten yr old already agrees - seniority has privelages. The snacks is another common theme I have heard - again keeping it simple. I found ncluding the youngns in crewing really worked, my lack of experience made that tense for mom but every trip got better.
What are your thoughts on harnesses on kids? Last year the then 1 year old HATED his SOLAS PFd. We were adamant and forced him to keep it on. I have been reading here and am considering a harness and safety netting this year. The 10 ur old has a good quality pfd he wears w/o issue and supervision is not an issue, but comfort has to be a factor. Of course this Practice is situation dependant.
I also like the have a destination idea. Goes with the "how much farther" syndrome. All on all.... Not a bad challenge to face -going sailing with a view to making your family happy?!!

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Cairo Prince took the lead entering the stretch and pulled away to beat Conquest Titan by 5 3/4 lengths Saturday in the $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
Cairo Prince won for the third time in four career starts, adding to his status as a top 3-year-old.
Ridden by Luis Saez, Cairo Prince ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.16 on a track listed as fast, and paid $6.20, $4.40 and $3.20. Intense Holiday was third, a half-length behind Conquest Titan.

WAHM to a toddler, preschooler, and kindergarten student.
I lined my cupboards in my old house, old kitchen (before we had remodeled it) out of necessity. I wouldn't do it again if not necessary because it it nearly impossible to get the lining right to the exact edge of the cupboards and little crumbs, pieces of dirt, etc like to find their way into that groove. It is harder to clean that groove out than if it weren't lined at all and you could just wipe the whole shelf off.

Corona in stable condition, says son
More News from Maila Ager
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Chief Justice Renato Corona is now in "stable" condition, his son, Francis, told Radyo Inquirer on Thursday.
"Thank you, he (Corona) is getting better. He is stable already," Francis said in a text message.
Corona's son did not answer back, however, when asked if his father will appear on Friday's resumption of his impeachment trial at the Senate as announced by the chief defense counsel, former Supreme Court Justice Serafin Cuevas.
The Senate acting as an impeachment court gave Corona until Friday to return to the witness stand and for his defense team to present other evidence before it renders a verdict on Tuesday.
But senators could not say whether or not the Senate is willing to move its own self-imposed deadline for oral arguments on Monday and judgment on Tuesday even if Corona appears Friday just to comply with the ultimatum given to him.
"Any other motions or requests by the parties that may lead to further delay may no longer accommodated by the court. It is therefore farfetched that we will move the scheduled arguments on Monday," Senator Francis Pangilinan said even before Cuevas announced that Corona will appear on Friday.
"Besides, the Chief Justice has already manifested the resting of the case for the defense if the waiver he requested will not be obtained. The prosecution on the other hand has said they will waive (their right to cross examine Corona) if no further direct examination is made. All parties therefore have signified their intention to terminate the proceedings," he said.
"There is no reason therefore to delay the case any further to meet our self-imposed deadline,' Pangilinan added,
But when told about Cuevas' statement, Pangilinan insisted the Senate deadline, saying they can hold a hearing, if necessary, even on Saturday.
If Corona would indeed appear on Friday, Senator Panfilo Lacson said the Senate has to decide whether to grant any extension of the trial.
"They issue conflicting statements. They are not in sync, " Lacson said, referring to statements made by Corona's lawyers.
"I think he will reappear just to comply with the Friday ultimatum from the court. What the court has to decide if that happens is whether or not an extension will be granted on the scheduled Monday final arguments and the verdict on Tuesday," the senator added.

Oct. 5, 2012
Quarterback Trent McKinney, a redshirt freshman from Mililani, Hawaii, took over as starting quarterback when the Grizzlies started their fall season. Since then, he has become the second-leading rusher. He has carried the ball 55 times for 294 yard and 4 touchdowns. The Sports Network recently announced that McKinney is a candidate for the prestigious 2012 Rice Award.
How does it feel to be starting quarterback for the Montana Grizzlies?
It is an honor to be the starting quarterback and know that all of the hard work in the off season will be displayed in the fall season.
What are you expectations for yourself this season?
I expect nothing other than to come in and keep tradition alive. I will not let my lack of experience be an excuse why we cannot function as an offensive unit
What do you think is your biggest strength as quarterback?
My biggest strength is my running ability to make players miss.
What would you like to improve on?
I would like to improve my passing confidence in game situations. I am efficient in practice but seem to break down when I see a rush. Confidence in my passing ability will be my key for improvement.
If you weren't quarterback, what position would you love to play? Why?
I would love to play slot, mainly to stick on the offensive side of the ball.
Was there a moment while playing high school ball that made you think about pursuing playing college football?
Football has always been a dream to play at the next level so there was no inspiration in high school. If I had to pick I would say after my freshmen season when I spoke with the UCLA and Washington Huskies recruiter and they told me they would be watching me because I am a college player.
Do you have a pre-game routine?
I only eat fruit before the game, and I listen to these five songs:
- J Boog- Police and Thieves
- J Boog- Give Thanks
- Pohaku- Just A Little Love
- Kohomua- Unconditionally
- Anuhea- Come Over Love
What is your favorite sports memory?
My junior year I played Kahuku, who was nationally ranked 23rd, and threw for 360 yards.
What was the biggest adjustment you had to make when you moved to Montana from Hawaii?
The biggest adjustment was going from a football season in warm tropical weather to a season in cold artic weather.
What are the challenges of being a college football player?
Managing my time and doing the right things all of the time because there are always people watching.
What is the most rewarding part of playing for the Griz?
The most rewarding part is seeing the kids come down after the game congratulating us on our hard work and asking for pictures and autographs. I love to see the smiles and interactions with our fans.
What do you like to do outside of football?
I usually play Call of Duty with my roommates, and in the off season I like to play basketball at the rec center on campus.
What has been the hardest class you have taken at UM?
American studies if I can recall the exact name. Writ 101 was also a challenge.
Do you have a role model? If yes, who?
No, I do not have a role model, but I do have people who inspire me. Those people are my immediate family.
Who is your favorite athlete?
Vince Young
What's your favorite football team?
The Tennessee Titans
Who has helped you the most with your football career?
Timmy Chang and Darnell Arceneaux
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I see myself with a degree in physical training and living in the city somewhere on the west coast.
Why did you pick your major?
I enjoy interacting with people and helping people with problems or issues. I am also fascinated with the body and its function.
So we all know that you are a talented quarterback, but do you have a hidden talent that would be unexpected to most people?
I am unbelievably good at convincing people in my favor. I am very persuasive.

Special teams could once again play a role in Death Valley
The role of Special teams is always vital in a football game. When Ole Miss and LSU get together that role is kick up a notch and more times than not decides the outcome. The now infamous Billy Cannon game-winning punt return in 1959 all the way to Odell Beckham Jr.'s 89-yard punt return in 2012, special teams has defined this rivalry. (October 23, 2014, Page 7A)
NOTEBOOK: Sanders sparks OM offense with touchdown
The Ole Miss offense was in dire need of an adrenaline shot and, for the second game this season, Vince Sanders gave it to them. (October 19, 2014, Page 1B)
NOTEBOOK: Sanders' career day leads Ole Miss over Ragin' Cajuns
Vince Sanders was having an OK start to the 2014 season with seven catches for 100 yards in the first two games. Saturday, in Ole Miss' 56-15 win over Louisiana-Lafayette, the Rebel senior wideout had a career day. (September 14, 2014, Page 1B)
NOTEBOOK: Rebels' Liggins getting work exclusively as tight end
Any packages that had Jeremy Liggins operating as the quarterback have been scratched from Ole Miss' playbook. Liggins moved from quarterback to tight end at the start of fall camp, but the former Lafayette High standout was still moonlighting as a Wildcat quarterback at times. That's no longer the case as the 6-foot-3, 296-pound Liggins continues to learn the nuances of his new position. (August 25, 2014, Page 7)
Rebels open camp with improved depth, talent
Ole Miss' football team is switching things up early in fall camp. The Rebels hit the practice field for the first time Saturday morning in preparation for the upcoming season, and for the first time in head coach Hugh Freeze's tenure, the freshmen and the upperclassmen have spent some time practicing separately thanks to restocked roster.

This thread has no moral.
This thread has no end.
This thread only goes to show the folly of men.
This has been beat to death at this point and we are back to repeating posts. I can tell you are a bright, articulate guy and I do not detect any malice in your posts. In fact, I think you are a nice guy. You feel you got less than you paid for and that it isn't fair. And I agree. It's not fair that you bought a 6 hp engine to replace a 4hp and it pushes your boat slightly slower. In a perfect world that wouldn't happen. But we all know that this is not a perfect world and that we are not guaranteed a perfect result...At least not in outboards.
So, what are we left with? The engine is not defective. The engine develops 6 hp at it's rated RPM. All outboards are rated the same way. And, all outboards 6 hp and below in the U.S. are four-stroke. And, your screwed. It's no ones fault, but there you are. Due to your application you aren't going to get that perfect result. I don't want to wade back through this mess, but what are we talking here? Something around a .2 difference at hull speed if I remember correctly. Let it go. You got a free prop out of it. I offered you another free one to try. That's 10% of the cost of the engine there alone
Outboards are prop shaft rated due to Federal law. This was done back in the late 80's to standardize outboard hp ratings. At the time, U.S. produced outboards were crankshaft rated and the imports were all prop shaft rated. The Feds felt that it was too confusing to the public to try to determine how much power loss occurred from the transfer of generated hp at the crank to usable hp at the prop shaft so....No more useless crankshaft ratings. This brings up another point which is when someone begins to babble about the torque of their outboard. That's a dead giveaway that they don't have a clue as to what they are talking about as torque by itself is meaningless when determining what an outboard does in the water. I do think that all manufacturers should furnish static measurements of prop shaft hp produced at multiple set RPM's as that could be useful in diagnostic testing.

Rubenstein Public Relations Adds Innovative Weight-Loss Tool to Its Portfolio
NEW YORK, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ — The makers of the Perfect Plate (www.perfectplate.com), an innovative weight-loss tool, have retained Rubenstein Public Relations (www.rubensteinpr.com) to help build the brand's profile and generate media attention for several upcoming company announcements. The Perfect Plate seamlessly fits into the agency's weight-loss category portfolio, as past clients include the Atkins diet and the Park Avenue Diet.
Rubenstein Public Relations (RPR) is developing a multifaceted media strategy focusing on a diverse audience. RPR will work to generate exposure for the Perfect Plate in print, broadcast and online media throughout the United States. The agency will target reporters covering diet, obesity and diabetes, and will respond to relevant trend pieces. Upcoming announcements, projects and celebrity partnerships involving the Perfect Plate are set to be publicly revealed later this year.
The Perfect Plate is a program that overcomes even the strictest dietary challenges and eliminates many obstacles that are typical of most diet plans. Rather than forcing the dieter to do all the work, the Perfect Plate measures out the calories in its specially crafted compartments that are designed to hold 100 percent of the dieter's daily nutritional needs. It does not limit the types of food the dieter can consume. The plate is not designed to hold sweets or beverages, and the dieter's last meal must be consumed before 7 p.m. each day. As with any weight-loss or exercise program, a doctor should be consulted before changing any diet and exercise plan.

Jumbled on its crowded shelves are bottles of roasted peanuts, wooden chew sticks, palm oil glowing orange, pepper-laced vinegar sauces, stacks of newspapers, piles of roots, and cardboard boxes filled with dried fish sunburned black. ICONS AFRO-WEST isn't the most orderly grocery, but it's one of the most interesting. Added bonus: there's a Nigerian restaurant downstairs.

nForce 610M & Nvidia Geforce Go 8400M G Linux Drivers
Dear All,
I try to install Fedora 7 on an Acer Aspire 4520G Turion64 X2 TL-56 NVIDIA nForce® 610M and Geforce Go 8400M G and Nvidia Ethernet Controller. However it does not work. It seems that Fedora could not find the drivers for the AMD, nForce chipset and Nvidia Graphics Cards.
I also try Ubuntu but it still does not work. Could anyone here help me to solve the problem.
Thanks so much.
Re: nForce 610M & Nvidia Geforce Go 8400M G Linux Drivers
Hi i seem to have the same problem:thumbdwn:
I have a Acer 5520g. AMD Turion 64 x2 TL-56 with the nforce 610m chips set and a geforce 8400m. Almost the same computer as you.
I am trying to install ubuntu but without success. I have tried all the 7.10 editions and the 6.04 LTS editions with the same result. The live cds are working just fine but as soon as i install it on the hdd it stalls doing boot up.
just after boot i get the following error: PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@90000000 for 0000:02:00.0
Then the system keeps booting but freezes on the Ubuntu load screen.
I have tried to look around different forums for a solution but so far nothing has worked.
Have you solved your problem or does it look remotely like mine?
I need help, i will post my bug reports as soon as I have worked out how.
Here is a few links that seems related to this problem:
I hope someone out there has an idea on a workaround.
Re: nForce 610M & Nvidia Geforce Go 8400M G Linux Drivers
I installed Ubuntu using the alternate install CD successfully with this card.
Heres how I did it:
Also some great info how others are doing it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512059
