Sorry, gone most of today and didn't get to do anything. check back tomorrow. family emergency.
I'm upgrading a dualboot machine I got here that previously run Win XP and Linux Mint 10. I tried Ubuntu 12.10 and it was "buggy." re-formatted the hdd and installed Ubuntu 12.10 again from a...
I didn't look up the specs for any of those listed; but, I will agree that going with Intel or nvidia graphics is a fairly safe bet. I'm a big AMD/ATI fan and a lot of them have worked in linux with...
I'm dualbooting Windows 7 Starter and Lubuntu 11.10 in an Acer Aspire One Netbook D257. I maxed out the memory (2 gbs) and added a 7200 rpm WD hard Drive of 500 gbs. The whole thing was pretty...

Why not blow the rest on a couple 10,000 rpm raptors and a couple of large capacity (2 tbs) 7200 rpm drives for Storage. RAID the raptors. If you're going to build a crazy go fast computer, don't...
Check out:www.system76.com for linux (specifically Ubuntu) friendly laptops. If you don't want to buy one of theirs, check the specs against one that you want.
It appears that system76 computers...
I have a FreeAgent drive with similar problems.It's a 160 gb drive I use with my laptop (Acer Travelmate 4230-6179).
When used in linux (Ubuntu 8.04.3, 9.04, Mint 6, 7, Mepis 7, 8 ) it gives an...
I didn't get to try your fix.
I had some spare time and downloaded the v9.04 ISO and re-installed the OS. The version that was on this laptop was a much updated release candidate.
It works...
My Toshiba Tecra S2 laptop with Ubuntu v9.04 will type into the Google search window (both of them) on the Firefox startup page. When you hit enter or click on search nothing happens. Also, when I...
I know that Jaunty is out now, but this was installed several weeks ago and updated from there. I used the Beta release from March 27, '09.
It works fine. It even has some of the eye candy...
I'm not poking fun or trying to insult anyones intelligence but a volume icon with an "X" means it's muted isn't it?
Also, check your volume controls and mixer. Just a thought.
Ebay and www.craigslist.com
Check out OpenGEU (formerly GEUbuntu) at www.distrowatch.com. It is , currently, at 35 on the list.
I think this is Ubuntu with the dock and other "eye candy" already installed.
Read their...
I'll have to agree with Gotaro about the dualbooting issues.
IMO, I'd rather have two separate OS's on two different Hard drives. The main reason for that is if you lose a hard drive the other one...
Practice on this thread? :)
Another thing to check are your volume controls.
My setup has the volume slider on the screen and my Logitech speakers has a knob on the right front speaker. Try to keep the on-screen slider about...
You didn't say what version of Ubuntu you were using.
I have had more trouble with Ubuntu 8.10 and Linux Mint 6 (based on Ubuntu 8.10) as far as graphics drivers.
The only install that was...
First of all, DO NOT format your "Home" partition or you will loose everything on it. If you are setting up a home partition for the first time, it can be EXT3, also. I dualboot so I have a whole...
I agree with dwasifar. This doesn't sound like the kind of person you would find in a linux forum. I mean, most people that make it to a linux forum are fairly competent computer users (even if it is...
I would think that AMD should still be competing with Intel.
Have you priced an Intel cpu? Amd still gives more bang for the buck. Especially, now that the economy sucks.
I've built close to 40...
I, personally, never thought much of Everex as a linux machine.
I researched my purchase of a new laptop and went with an Acer 4230-6179 (Travelmate). I went with something I could afford and...
I don't know about the Everex, but you could check out www.system76.com for Ubuntu pre-installed laptops and computers.
Ubuntu v7.10 runs just fine on my little Compaq Evo n600c. My problems started when I upgraded to v8.04. After the upgrades required reboot I no longer had wireless. As I can't get the driver without...
Noppie,
I believe what you're doing is called "hijacking someone else's thread." You need to start your own thread so that these issues can be handled separately. It appears to me that you have...
