I got my hands on some RAM from another laptop, of the same model, which was broken in other ways. I stuck it into my laptop and it passes the memtests, and it has made my machine a bit snappier, but...
It is strange. I do imagine it is a hardware problem at this point, but it is perplexing that first of all, indeed, Windows works just fine and, secondly, when Xubuntu does boot up, I have no further...
Hey danny,
The issues are exactly as before; Windows still works fine. I also noticed a seeming pattern (not verified, just an impression): the boot failure usually appears during a cold boot,...
I decided to just reinstall Xubuntu. I didn't have any issues for a few days, but as of just now, the problem is back. If anyone has any insight, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for the input, danny. Yes, there's a wifi card; I hardly ever use a cable. I had a look and it seems most people just have problems connecting due to this issue, not a total failure. Also, I...
I cleaned my fan just to be sure and, perhaps uncorrelatedly, Xubuntu booted up afterwards. The temperatures are a bit lower now, but I still don't think that was the problem.
I had a look in the...
It does sound like that, but I'd be surprised to see it overheating within seconds of me pressing the power button.
Also, indeed, Windows is booting up just fine. I can mount my Linux filesystem...
Again, Xubuntu fails to boot. Now, however, I am also unable to boot into Recovery Mode; when I try to, the laptop similarly powers down abruptly after a few dozen lines of command line output have...
In an interesting new development, Xubuntu decided to boot again. It's not crashing. However, something still seems to be off because now it has me stare at a blank screen for around ten seconds...
Hey all,
I recently installed Xubuntu 12.10 on an older laptop and while it mostly works fine, I've been having some boot issues.
Maybe a week or so ago, I suddenly couldn't boot into Xubuntu...
I suppose things have a way of solving themselves, sometimes... Somehow, my Suspend and Hibernate are working fine now. I have no idea what changed, I've been fiddling with other things all day and...
Hi bryncoles,
I forgot to mention this, but I already checked this and I do not have this setting ticked.
I've been fooling around some more and I noticed that Suspend is not working either; nothing happens when I try to make Xubuntu suspend, except that my desktop partially freezes. At first I was...
Hello all,
I just experienced an Internal Error and sent off a Crash Report about it, but I'd like to take a look at the details again myself. The dialog didn't provide me with a way to save them;...
Hello all,
I enabled hibernation on my Xubuntu 12.10 installation as per this documentation:
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html
It seemed to sort of work: I had a...
There should be a (hidden) file in your home directory called .bashrc. You can use this to set up command aliases and source stuff. This file is sourced every time you open a terminal and it's just a...
It's most likely something to do with No-IP rather than your server:...
You could just source a script from your .bashrc file. This file is sourced every time you open a terminal.
I have an NVidia card so I tried Rebelli0us' suggestion and, so far, I haven't seen anything garbled, so it seems to have done the trick. Thanks!
Hello all,
I have a GeForce GT525M in my new laptop and under Xubuntu 12.10 I seem to be afflicted with the problem described in this thread:

Hey all,
I just installed Xubuntu 12.10 on a brand new laptop and I'm seeing a weird graphics issue. I first noticed this during the (graphical) installation and it is persisting into the...
Perhaps I'll give it another go, then, and shake it a bit harder. For now, though, does anyone have any idea why my CUPS is tripping up?
Thanks for the suggestion, however, no luck there, I'm afraid. Even if it worked, the problem would be back in due time.
Hello all,
Starting today, halfway through a pdf print job, I am no longer able to print from Ubuntu. Since at about the same time, my printer started displaying a "low toner" message, I figure it...
Alright thanks again. From the sites you posted and some more Googling, it seems the hardware will probably be accessible, though perhaps not straight from the box. Looks like I found a winner (it's...
