UPDATE: It was the kernel update. For some reason whenver I boot into the new kernel it doesn't recognize anything. If I boot into the older kernel that comes default with a fresh install, the NIC...

I have a similar problem. I just fresh installed 12.10, and NIC worked perfectly.

I use software updater to apply updates and restart the computer and BAM, no more NIC. sudo lshw reveals that my...

i'm okay with it not running as well as in a native environment, but i at least want to get it to install. I'll post back if I can get it working.

host has 2 gig ram, and a 256 meg nvidia card.i'll dial off the video memory and turn up the ram a bit, though red alert 2 only requires 64 meg of ram so i figured over 800 would be fine..

I installed Virtualbox (version 4.1.2) solely so I could play some old windows games, namely Command and Conquer Red Alert 2. Whenever I try to run the installer, the system throws the error...

Have you tried upgrading to 10.10? I did that, and it's too soon to tell, but I've noticed that I haven't had this problem on the few computers I have running 10.10. So I upgraded the 10.04 machines,...

Any luck with this? I have this same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 on 3 different desktops. I need to get this fixed. I can find no real pattern as to when it happens. I know that xubuntu 10.04 did it as...

UPDATE:
I boot from a ubuntu live cd, and the stick just works. It's something with kubuntu. At least now I have more of a direction to go in.

Double checked, it's in there correctly. I tried blacklisting the rt2870sta driver instead of this one, and that didn't work either.
I'm sure that I blacklisted this driver correctly, though,...

So this post as gotten me closer, but still no go. I started off with the Ralink 3070 usb stick. The computer would see the wireless, but no networks. I blacklisted rt2800usb and restarted. I can now...

I'm trying to install a language program on my computer to learn French. Whenever I try to open either setup.exe or autorun.exe ubuntu says that the files are not marked as executable because they...

I was thinking a different vein. I'm a bit of a practical joker at heart, and I work on a campus with a computer lab. All of the machines in the lab run Ubuntu. We get a new batch of students in this...

There are many articles on using kerberos or openldap for authentication, but I cannot find anything on how to setup a ubuntu 10.04 client to authenticate to a remote samba server using the tdbsam...

We're in luck, I just got it working! Hours of searching for this fix, days trying to get davical up and running, and this little 30 second fix got evolution working. :D . Anyways, below is a link to...

i don't suppose you've found a fix to this? my issue is exactly the same.....

This worked perfectly for me. What do those lines mean?

this is probably a simple fix, but I am at a loss. Been working on this for days, and would like to wrap it up.

I've setup a samba server to act as a primary domain controller on a small network....

Brilliant. It was DNS. I assigned this box a static IP address in the /etc/network/interfaces file. That was all fine and dandy, apparently I had to also change the nameserver setting in my...

This is weird. I have 2 machines, one running jaunty and another running lucid, and at the same time neither will let me update or install anything using apt-get. apt-get update doesn't work, it...

For the past few days I've found a new ad hoc wireless network called "Free Public Wifi" coming from somewhere in my work building. Some googling has revealed that this is caused by a bug in Windows...

Here's the rundown. I have 3 boxes running ubuntu jaunty in a room. They are all connected to the rest of the LAN via the same switch. When I run ifconfig on any of them, the eth0 interface isn't...

I booted from the live CD and having problems running fsck. Some of those partitions don't even exist anymore, and I tried running "fsck -A" but it didn't actually run anything, it just spit out...

well, before bed tonight think i'll back everything up and see if fsck will find/fix errors in the partition table. if that doesn't work, reformatting and reinstalling from a backup isn't too hard....

Okay, so I notice on the Palimpsest Disk Utility that there is some unallocated space on my hard drive, but am confused because there shouldn't be. So then I download Gparted to see what my...
