    [ubuntu] Re: how to install

    You'll need to give more details if you want someone to help you.

    Firstly, what do you mean? What is the problem you need to solve, symptoms etc.?

    Secondly if it is something hardware related...

    [SOLVED] Re: Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite problem

    Are the non-working keys fairly random? It sounds as though it could be a hardware problem. Have you tried the keyboard on another computer/OS or using a live CD?

    Re: Windows 7 free (beer) malware protection

    I use Avast and MBAM as others have mentioned. Used MSE for a while, but just prefer Avast - switch it to gaming mode (or just change the appropriate settings...), and no more talking.

    [lubuntu] Re: Custome DE won't launch

    Also, check if /home/mat/matsDE.sh is executable. If it isn't, you can make it so either in by right-click -> properties in your file manager, or:

    Sorry, I probably could have explained it better. If you open terminal and run it (search terminal in the dash) it will let us know of the bbswitch module has been loaded.

    Yeah, as long as it screws in it should be fine, there just may be a gap under it. I upgraded my laptop to an SSD the other day - the drive I bought (Samsung 830 series) came with a small "adapter"...

    The Ubuntu wiki page for Bumblebee is pretty good.

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

    Works fine here (admittedly not on a 555, but a 525).

    [SOLVED] Re: md5 hash not agreeing

    Your generated MD5 is the correct one for that ISO. Note the version number, the update has been released, so you have downloaded 12.04.1, whereas that MD5 is for 12.04.

    To start with, Gnome 3 is probably quite a good choice since generally, there is only the top bar visible with those things you want. By default, the window frames are pretty chunky, but can be...

    [ubuntu] Re: Keep Actions Visible in top bar

    I had a brief look into this yesterday, but it appears that you need to use a custom version of Unity from a PPA (or from source, I guess) with the option enabled that you can then change from CCSM.

    Re: subscribed list ALWAYS empty

    You can't change simple account options with less than 50 posts?! That's a little odd. I thought it was just stopping the changing of your profile.
