Thank you all for your responses. I know I've seen this at least a hundred times, and just fyi I was looking for the "sudo do-release-upgrade" command, Cant wait till Thursday!

Okay, This is going to sound very stupid as I have been using Ubuntu for quite a while now and I feel like I should know this.

On Thursday when the new 12.04 edition finally drops, how do I use...

I agree with Raja, as always, but I think a safe place to start would be to purge the game packages.
Then if you have no use for the calculator or xfburn or abioffice I would purge those next.

I did in fact do a full partition install, at least I think so... I partitioned off the hard disk before I installed windows on it. I have a 100gig NTFS partition for windows, A 200gig ext4 partition...

So I have Windows 7 in the first partition of the HDD, on the second partition i have Ubuntu, I did as suggested by Phantom Turtle. Now I do get an option to boot Ubuntu, however it kicks me onto a...

Hey, Title pretty much says it. I have a computer that I partitioned off the HDD on to setup a dual boot system. I have Windows 7 on the first partition, 100gigs NTFS, I have Ubuntu on the second,...

Thank you for your assistance, greatly appreciated.

So I have dconf-editor installed and I was using the gtk-color-scheme option under org/desktop/interface to change the highlight color when I click and drag the mouse... I was successful in changing...

Good point, I didn't notice the difference, sorry. Perhaps this is where the extent of my knowledge ends. Perhaps you could take over bcratz, I will sit back and try to learn something. I was only...

Maybe take a look here...post #18 should help. click here

Have you tried the last code without using the "sudo" command

k, try this:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
That should enable your wireless network!
Be sure to restart the computer and make sure its a permanent solution.

Also just FYI, you don't need two Linux swap partitions. If you decide to dual boot again, you can place the swap file at the "far end" of your disk, and any installed OS's will be able to access it....

No, you can use the cd. Dave was just explaining that you could run it from a usb stick, and how to do so. What he is saying is that you can put a ubuntu live variant onto a usb stick, boot from the...

Also, is there a physical WiFi on/off button on your machine?

Could you post the output of
sudo lshw -c Network
iwconfig
rfkill list all
Run the commands one line at a time, obviously. This should tell us what we need to know to help you.

The output of
rfkill list all will help too.

So in the terminal or Konsole, type in
sudo lshw -c Network copy (ctrl+shift+C in the terminal) and paste the results here so we can see what kind of hardware you are running. Do the same for ...

The -rt package sounds like its a little advanced for your needs, this is used for executing commands and sending them to automated machinery systems. It sounds like what you need is a better sound...

You've got to be a little more specific, what kind of computing are you into? For example if you're looking for cli help a good place to start would be in the terminal (ctrl+alt+t):
man -a intro

yeah, I do somewhat recall the button physically working one time, as i was checking hardware compatibility post(noob) my first install. ill keep my trigger finger away from now on though,

Well, I dont know what to say, I shut down the computer a few hours ago, normally. for some reason it ran a checkdisk at boot. and now my wireless works again? what is to be learned from this? from...

No need for apologies, Thanks again, you have spent so much time helping me out, i feel like i owe you something in return. wish i could reciprocate somehow.

Marking thread Solved...For now.

and that could be the case, but the thing is, i have lubuntu 11.10 on this machine also, which im typing this on right now over my wifi network. maybe it is just the kernel for ubuntu 11.10 or maybe...
