I have had a Chromebook C7 for months now but ChromeOS is just too limited in abilities for times when I need to work on large spreadsheets or word documents. I thought I could get by with Google...
Without question. Once you've paid for an OS, why delete it unless it becomes corrupt or space on the HDD is an issue?
You'll need a different desktop environment to get rid of the Unity launcher. You can install KDE, Xfce, LXDE, Cinnamon. KDE probably has the most customization but others are very customizable as...
First we need to know what device you are trying to get working. Can you open a terminal and give us the output of
lspci I'm assuming it's an internal PCI device, but if it's a USB device, then...
Have you tried to, while connected via ethernet or USB
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer And once completed
sudo modprobe b43 Then try to connect?
While I agree that brining to the masses a hardware line and linux distro would be difficult, Google really has already done so. They were creative enough, whether you agree with their method, to...
I would suggest looking at what type of video card you have and whether or not a proprietary driver may be available. The open source drivers are sometimes much less efficient and don't perform as...

Did you install the driver from the repos or did you get the very latest from AMD? The AMD driver should give you good performance, but I have found the repo version (in the past) failed to work...
Oh yes. And at that time I had a Tandy (Radio Shack) 486sx-33. Painfully slow but we still rocked Doom modem to modem in deathmatch play!!! Within a year of me buying the weakest processing computer...
LOL....depends on how much you sleep! If you are an early riser that bending Unity bar may become "normal" :)
Not quite true on the RAM part unfortunately. Regular Macbook Pro can be upgraded from 4GB to 8GB (16GB actually, but Apple claims only 8GB). The newest with the retina display has RAM that is...
Windows 7 has an option to create a restore disk(s). If you do that in advance you'll be able to reinstall from those if you should either decide you want to start fresh or if you bork the install....
I have personally run 64 bit on a machine with 1GB so I can attest that you will not observe any noticeable difference upward and possibly a bit of decline in speed as the system addresses 64 bit...

Definitely preference. I have one desktop that everyone uses. It's solid and has 10.04 on it. It works, is fast and everyone knows the OS. Switching to Unity will be an adjustment so for now I just...
I would recommend going over those files in your /home carefully before backing them up if the person who had access is as malicious as you stated. Then save the files you really want to keep and...
So a standard Windows fix also fixes Ubuntu every now and again? haha Awesome that it's working again.
I don't see a wireless device listed in your lspci output. Could it be an internal USB device? If so, perhaps lsusb would show it.
It's completely possible to enable a Broadcom device using either b43 or STA, depending on your device, from a LiveDVD. I do it for my BCM4312 to test Ubuntu and it does not require connecting via...
Cool thing about running Mint is other than the DE and a few tools you ARE running Ubuntu :)
Have you tried to enable the rt2860sta driver for the card and blacklist all the RT2800 and RT2x00 modules? I believe the 2860 will work for your 2760 device.
Outstanding. Could you click up in the thread tools to mark the thread solved? That helps others when searching for a solution to a problem and seeing [SOLVED] provides a level of confidence that the...
I'm with the OP. If there's no family picture posted with a comment I just keep scrolling quickly down the page. I'm not at all interested if someone had coffee, used the restroom, played with the...
