hello everyone. I have a annoying issue with 12.04. it keeps changing my bios time. I have the clock set in ubuntu to the correct time but when I shut it down and boot back up the bios clock is...

that's a lot of crap. lol
thank god for network (via ethernet) printing. basically plugged mine in to the router, turned it on, and all the computers can see it.

yeah I got the same darn card.

yeah I might try that.
what sucks is it's a pentium 4 with a 2.4ghz processor but only 1 gig of ram. oh and a terrible graphics processor. I think it's called amd pos..lol
naa it's a ati mobility...

I don't know, but my HP printer works perfectly on my network. I've never tried to hook it up via the usb and share it that way.

have you tried installing the HP drivers/toolbox for linux? it's...

yeah that's the problem, this old laptop is already at it's max of 1 gig. I like to use it for tinkering and wondered about using my thumb drive for some extra ram.
been reading about some people...

windows has a ready boost option to use a thumbdrive to help speed up a slower computer does ubuntu 11.10 have anything like this?
I seen a sticky from 2007 but that was a long time ago and the...

I think making the car more reliable and fuel efficient should be ford's goals. not making them more flashy so people will buy them and forget all about their often lack of engineering qualities....

11.04 on a compaq presario 2570us.(updated from 10.04)
everything seems to function except cd/dvd burning. which I think is just a software issue.

I'm new to linux as in, I'm not real savvy with using or understanding everything about it just yet. but I've been trying my hand at it since the first time I heard about ubuntu. I think it was...

I know.
it's a dead interface. sata is now the norm

ubuntu 10.04
compaq
Presario 2570us

but it will not wake from suspend. but this was also a problem with windows which compaq released a few bios updates which didn't work for...

I just recently installed a new 160g pata drive in my compaq presario laptop in place of it's IDE drive without issues. in fact, linux sees all 160g when windows only sees it as 80 or so.
I hate...

I'm using 10.04 and would like ubuntu to have more than 1/2 of the drive (160g drive) it currently has now.
I basically want windows to be 10g and the rest ubuntu.

I have a partition software...

hey good call my friend. I am indeed using clearlooks.
blank boxes yes. 10.04 yes.

I just wont worry about it then. I like the clearlooks look and since those are the only icons that seem to...

I did the updates after a fresh install but now there is a few icons missing in the software center.
what gives? how do I correct this?

why do you guys all get so upset when someone mentions the short comings of ubuntu?
there are some things windows does way way better and the option to undo changes without losing all of your files...

I'd keep windows if I were you. ubuntu isn't exactly all that reliable from my experience with it so far.
I even came across a website that doesn't work with linux. and I "have" to use this site.

I think you guys are missing what he's asking.

I think he wants to do a "system restore" like you can in windows...
yet another thing windows does better in my opinion.

hopefully ubuntu will...

I wouldn't go saying it's solved just yet.
mine has done it 2 times in 24hrs. and fsck finds all kinds of errors...stuff I didn't cause. I was just browsing the net etc and all of a sudden weird...

it's funny how microsoft has everyone so scared of this lol.
