    [lubuntu] Windows XP MBR or GRUB problem

    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...
  3. [other] Re: Which of the following laptops is best if I plan to use ubuntu based linux

    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...

    [SOLVED] Re: Dual boot advice for 1st timer

    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...

    [ubuntu] Re: Building a new build machine, problems?

    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...

  9. [ubuntu] Re: Google doesn't work, can't log into forums?

    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...

    [ubuntu] Re: Integrated sound card will not work..

    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.

    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.

    [ubuntu] Re: Interested in Ubuntu. Beginner questions.

    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...

  17. [ubuntu] Re: Sound Problems! - Crackling sound when playing any audio - but no errors!

    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.

  19. [ubuntu] Re: "ext2 file system" vs "ext3 journaling file system" on Re-install

    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...

    Noppie,
