[mythtv-users] Mythbuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and diskless clients

[German Rodriguez]

1. In my case it was the main ubuntu user, the one that logs into the

2.I think I mean nvidia-xconfig that would create your X file and when
you boot you run nvidia-settings to adjust the configuration if
needed.
