Hope this is the right place to put this. Technically a phone counts as hardware, I think.

I'd really like my Nokia X7 to work with Ubuntu.

What absolutely must work:

I want to receive...

A VPN is not necessary. I'm pretty sure tools are included with Ubuntu for this type of thing. In fact, here is a guide which you will hopefully find helpful. All those viewing will need some kind of...

I'm not certain exactly how to do this myself, but have you taken a look at this? I think someone is asking a similar question to what you want there and they've received some helpful answers.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding since I don't speak the same language as your comments (German?) and didn't read through all the rules below, but it looks like at the very beginning you've set the default...

I should add that the thing from Coova you might need is CoovaChilli. I corrected the link to point to directly that. You probably already realized. Anyway, I also just happened upon this, which...

I've never set up such a server as an access point, but I can tell you a few things that might help you.

First, and really important: be very careful in the wireless card you choose. Most don't...

EDIT: Disregard, I just went ahead with it anyway. It doesn't seem to have hurt anything. Or helped much of anything for that matter, but at least now I'm fully up to date.

So, I've noticed that...

Yeah, sorry, I should've clarified when I edited my post. I suspect ajgreeny is correct; the proprietary Radeon drivers might not be available for your card. I forgot that they did not support all of...

I'm not sure, but from my brief glance at the video it looks as though he actually installed a virtual Ubuntu machine on his phone and used a VNC client to access it. Anyway, there are alternatives...

Indeed it would, though one could use a headset without much trouble. I wouldn't use a laptop as my main phone (wouldn't really be practical to carry around and use it for that purpose), I was just...

I don't know how to do partitioning from within Windows (though yes, it is possible) but the LiveCD you've got includes with it a tool called GParted that you can use to empty the disc. All you have...

Well, running a server doesn't technically require internet and isn't necessarily that difficult. Once the initial setup is finished chatting on it will require virtually no effort. Is that something...

Yes, I have. That's cool and the sort of thing I want to see, but not specifically what I'm asking about. I have a very general curiosity about Linux and phones, but what I want to know about...

Well, I've had problems with Radeon cards and come across a lot of information regarding problems with them. I've heard they've improved somewhat lately but still have some catching up to do with...

I'm curious about what you mean d4m1r? I know only from my own experiences with this one laptop, but a cursory Google search of Acer Linux and Acer laptop quality doesn't yield anything too worrying...

Regarding graphics:

Avoid AMD Radeon graphics cards, their support in Linux is terrible. AMD CPUs are fine, but don't go for Radeon graphics if you want to use Linux for gaming or if you mind...

Regarding using another desktop environment, it might be worth a shot. You don't need to make a permanent change, but the desktop environment can make a big difference sometimes. I remember a while...

Nevermind, seems Empathy has no Windows version.

This is just a vague memory so just throwing it out there, but I think Empathy has some kind of LAN chat feature. You could also try setting up a...

Well, I don't think removing lock will actually stop it from suspending. I was just pointing out other people seem to have the same problem and I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done short of...

You might find this thread interesting, though I don't know that it actually offers any sort of solution. I seem to recall using a desktop environment that required me to disable suspend in multiple...

The issue is that his wifi doesn't turn back on afterward. Though yes, if you want to download overnight you'll have to disable suspend. Shut the screen off or something to save power.

Okay, this guide looks promising. You might need to install some kernel headers but hopefully not.

A quick explanation:

1. Download the drivers from here
2. Extract those files somewhere
3....

It recognizes your card, at least. Sounds as though you might need some proprietary drivers for that card, though it's odd it would work in earlier versions of Ubuntu. I'm looking into it, I'll...

I haven't encountered anything like that but again, I'm not using Unity/Gnome 3. I'm not saying there's anything necessarily wrong with them performance-wise (in fact I'm pretty sure they're designed...

I've been using it since shortly after it came out without problems I could trace to 12.04 itself. Mine is built from a minimal install, though, and I'm not even using Unity. What do you mean by...
