Tried reformatting with GParted, but does not work..:(

When I insert another USB disk that has not been turned into a live disk the bios does recognize it. So I guess USB boot is still enabeled in the bios.

To clarify my problem:
In advanced settings...

I did install ubuntu before on the same computer with the same USB disk.
Also because this USB disk and other disks do appear in the bootoptions before turning them into a live disk, something must...

I was trying to install maverick from USB flash drive, and used the live disk creator in lucid.
Before creating the live disk, my bios would recognize the usb drive as a option to boot from. Now it...

I tried installing ubuntu restricted extras and restricted graphics drivers running from live-CD without internet-connection. This failed. So I guess they're not on the CD.

Thank you lukeiamyourfather for answering each question separately :)
There is non-GPL on the CD, but not on the installation? Could you explain further?


off course my girlfriend isn't really...

Nvidia is supporting linux better than ATI at the moment. Only Intel is better, but they only do integrated graphics (this might change though)
So not too much choice there...

Just hope things...

Very strange. Maybe it's a bug??
Laptopsupport is getting more attention, so maybe things will work better for widescreens when Gutsy arrives.

Where did you find " nvidia settings"?
And what...

Were you able to select 1680*1050 resolution during configuring;
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?

What does "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" tell you, in section " screen"?
Once you've...

Bump

Does anyone know if this (impossebility to select correct refresh rate and unsharp screen) might be a problem with the nvidia-drivers or a bug in Ubuntu?

I'd like to know , because If it's...

I tried adding a modeline, to get the right refresh rate, as suggested, but now my screen looks even worse:(
System>settings>screen resolution still tells me I'm still at 55Hz, should be 60Hz.....

Don't wanna sound stupid, but how do I do this?

Everything works almost perfect; utorrent minimizes to tray, but it also shows on the taskbar.

I tried this guide, and it worked fine, til step 4.; no .icwm folder was found:confused:
I made the folder myself and put the files from /etc/X11/icewm to ~/.icewm in.
This seems to work, (I'm...

Has anyone tried this, with the data on a USB-stick?

I'd like to be able to take my mail with me from my home computer, to the one at my parents house. The firefox profile would be less important....

It only worked on an unsecured network. Guess I do need ndiswrapper.

Might this program go in a repo someday?
It's a great program; it would be a shame not to expose it more.

Edit:...

Thanks.

Now I understand; in preferences, for wireless, the default setting was "g".
I assumed this was correct, because the network is a G type.
It should be wlan0. Maybe the default setting in...
