I've been putting up with this freeze issue for more than a year, until now. To borrow a quote:

You Sir, are a steely-eyed missile man.

Thank you.

Problem Solved.

It seems that in my original enthusiasm to disable the wifi card I removed the restricted drivers for the card. Naturally enough, without a driver the damn thing wasn't active. ...

Hi all,

Well, I had wifi working on my desktop, but many months ago I changed to an ethernet connection. Now I need to go back to wifi and the wifi card no longer seems to be working, or...

I'd suggest you find an old computer (and it really doesn't need to be a powerful box) and install IpCop on it. IpCop will provide the internet access you're looking for across the network, do...

Ok, the thought of losing data scares the bejeezus out of me. Not so with the o/s as that can always be recreated. So for my ex's business I set up a Ubuntu server that had /home and /group...

Guys,

I'm not sure if I'm close, but I had similar probs on 32 bit 8.04 combined with an nVidia graphics card. My assessment is that any nVidia driver other than the one that comes with Ubuntu...

keforex,

I've had similar probs with Hardy and nVidia not co-operating. I even sought advice on this board all to no avail. Like you, I got the ubiquitous nVidia message about the x-server,...

I'm having many probs with 8.04 especially with nVidia drivers. One thing I've noticed is that my kernel is 2.6.22-14-generic which I do not think is the latest incarnation. I've tried walkerk's...

Greetings,

I just upgraded to 8.04 and now have two problems.

The first is that a couple of my desktop icons have changed and I don't know how to get them back. GnuCash and Firefox now...
