Thank you so much! I have been messing with this for about an hour...
Yeah the linux version of firefox is pretty awful. From what I understand, the builds for linux aren't optimized for specific architectures. It seems like firefox 4 is quicker on linux than 3 was...
Are you using their display settings to set the configuration? If so, there is a button you have to click to save your configuration to the xorg config file. Make sure you get the settings right...
What driver are you using? I would recommend using the proprietary driver from nVidia. You always get the best performance from their driver. Also, their display settings tool works very well. I...
Your boyfriend doesn't know what he's talking about. IE9 is still garbage, although it is faster than previous versions. Microsoft needs to abandon the browser game. It is doing no good for them. ...
The problem is it is so random. For instance, it just happened again and it was en.wikipedia.org. Now, I can go back there and everything is fine. So it's very hard to troubleshoot because it's...
I'm having a very strange problem. Randomly, DNS lookups are extremely slow. This seems to have started when I upgraded to Lucid. It is not isolated just to my browser (firefox). Also, it's not...
That means that your xorg.conf is screwed up. You should regenerate it by doing the following:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Hey guys, I was having the same problem, and what fixed it for me was the nomodeset option in the grub boot line.
Check out this post.
I would try the latest drivers first...all you have to do is the following to is hit CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to the terminal and then:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
chmod +x (name of the...
Are you dual booting with Windows? If you log into Windows now you're saying you don't see the same problem? I am not familiar with ndiswrapper as I've never had wireless trouble with Ubuntu.
It sounds like you may be having hardware issues. My guess would be your graphics card. What video card do you have and what drivers are you using? What you may want to do is re-set up X. So,...
What kind of problems are you running into? Can you just not boot into windows any longer? If you google Ubuntu Windows Grub, there are a ton of articles out there describing how to add Windows to...
You can install it alongside windows if you want (there's even a windows based installer called wubi). You can resize your windows partition from the live cd using gparted.
First of all...I'd recommend upgrading to 8.10 (and maybe even 9.04 beta depending on your video card). What video card do you have? Since you're having problems I'd guess you have an ATI. On the...
That is strange...what do you have for a connection? My best guess is that you are actually having router troubles.
There should be a spot on the bottom of the laptop, some of them are even labeled, that you can unscrew and it gives you direct access to the memory. The problem is depending on how many sticks you...
Are you using the drivers from the repos? Have you tried installing the official drivers from nVidia? I always use the drivers from nVidia as they perform better than the ones in the repos. The...
When you say the latest nVidia drivers don't work what do you mean? Do you get low graphics mode when you try to use them?
I think Thunar is the best...it is very clean and simple. I wish GNOME would adopt it. Nautilus is much less customizable and extremely ugly. The only down side of Thunar (last I knew) was the...
Yes, correct. So the easiest way to install the latest version of virtualbox is this (assuming you're runing Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid):
1. Add the following apt url (system -> administration ->...
You need to run the original installer with a switch. I think --uninstall is what you need to supply. If you pass the --help switch I think it explains how to uninstall.
I agree with your employer. It's best to understand programming in general before learning a language. The difference between a good programmer and someone who knows a language is the programmer...
It may be possible. Most laptops with a vga port are capable of dual monitors. However, it's definitely not easy on linux apart from nvidia...even ATI WITH the tool isn't all that easy. What video...
It may be, you'd have to set it up manually though in your xorg.conf I'd assume. nVidia and ATI both have tools you can use to configure dual monitors. If you google xorg.conf dual monitors,...
