Weird configuration issues
Problem: console screen goes black (and stays that way) during boot.
Fix: blacklist the i915 driver, which you can do like this
# cd /etc/modprobe.d # echo "blacklist i915" > i915-blacklist.conf # reboot
Running "The Dude"
I use it as a client so I can access a Dude server from my Macintosh. Convoluted but works for me. I just need to install a VM on my Mac and should be able to run it there just as easily.
