I see, thanks. And sorry for reposting the same question.

I assume it's no hope that I can change the graphic, either?

I just set up the fingerprint reader, which is pretty cool, but I have an encrypted home directory which it does not unlock when I log in, so I still have to manually enter my password. Is there a...

The break in communication was my computer being broken for a few more days.... this time it would turn on, but the keyboard wouldn't work. even from the BIOS screen... i.e. F2 didn't take me to...

Hi, thanks for the reply. The fact that the BIOS screen didn't show up leads me to believe it's a hardware related issue, as that should be independent of the operating system, unless I'm mistaken....

I had a weird problem for a few days, my Gazelle would not power on. I pressed the power button, it flickered blue for a second, the little green light on the front of the machine flickered on for...

I know this isn't the technical advice you were looking for, but from my experience, brasero just sucks and it has given me trouble on multiple machines. It works fine on my Gazelle, but is slower...

I was thinking the Ratel might be a little better too, especially in terms of longevity, but she likes the way the Meerkat looks :rolleyes:

I think this is going to require an extra day or two to...

I own a Gazelle laptop and it has been working out great for me and since my mother wants a new computer, I was thinking the Meerkat might be a good choice.

At the moment, I have her using Kubuntu...

I neglected to say I'm currently dual booting Arch w/ Openbox and I mimicked the partition scheme I used there. I haven't had any config problems because the Arch system is so minimal and has few (if...

Hi, thanks a lot for the reply.

My partitions are 15 GB for root (its presently 45% full, according to system monitor. A big chunk of that is Doom 3 files) 2 GB for /var (48% full) 6 GB for SWAP....

Hi I just put a new 120 Gb SSD in my gazelle, everything was working beautifully for a couple weeks, now I'm having some weird issues.

Right clicking in Nautilus and going to properties shows some...

Sorry to bump so soon, are the two problems even related? What other information can I provide?

Thanks

forgot to mention, disabling acpi in /etc/default/grub does not work either...

Hi all. I recently installed Kubuntu on several public school computers (they were in a junk heap!) as well as my sister's laptop (she's a teacher at the school) and I'm running into a weird problem....

The advantage is System76 systems are configured to run properly with Ubuntu.

If you don't like Ubuntu, you will run into some annoying compatibility issues. On my laptop, for example, Arch Linux...

Ok, thanks

This is more of a hardware question, but I have a Gazelle laptop that I want to multi-boot with PC-BSD. I'm getting hung up when I try and boot BSD. I get an error and can't load the OS.

It was...

Thanks for your reply.

I have desktop effects, but I thought it was the Nouveau driver that Ubuntu uses by default.

The contents of /usr/lib/nvidia/preinstall reads:


#!/bin/sh

# Trigger an error exit status to prevent the installer from overwriting
# Ubuntu's nvidia packages.

exit 1

Hi, I have a Gazelle laptop. I reinstalled Ubuntu but I'm not sure how to use the Nvidia driver. "Additional Drivers" shows that it is activated but not in use. How do I enable it for use?

I...
