I want to fax a four page PDF file, is it possible in Ubuntu?
I've tried Efax-GTK and I just get a modem not responding message. Forgetting that is it possible anyway to fax the four page PDF or...

And if I do make head or tail of it I'll probably have a modem not responding problem with my laptop. So basically I'm snookered - back to Bill then.

Possibly, I've already looked at two of them and have to admit it's a complete mystery to me. I've used various fax programs under Windows over many years such as the two I mentioned, the Linux...

Not sure if this is the right forum but it didn't seem appropriate for networking and wireless. Is there a decent fax program for Ubuntu?
I'm thinking in terms of RKS Fax or Winfax - that sort of...

Thank you for your help, that seems to work. However, I stick by my original assertion that Linux/Ubuntu is not the easiest to get to grips with. And it needs to be to outstrip Bill's offering.

I hadn't considered that, but it won't give me MP3's will it.

Why are things so difficult using Linux/Ubuntu?
I'm trying to rip some tracks from a CD, I've looked at various threads telling me how this might be possible. I've tried RipperX, installed it, used...

HOWTO: Install Rubyripper on Ubuntu

Note: These instructions are aimed at Ubuntu 10.04 and above. Results on other Ubuntu releases may vary.

What is Rubyripper?

Managed at last to return my machine to the way it was two weeks ago. The update manager is informing me version 9.10 is available. I don't think so.

I have now managed to reinstall an earlier version of Ubuntu I have on disc. I also have a dual boot system again.
Can anyone suggest why in Ubuntu my touchpad doesn't work, or a USB mouse when...

Before upgrading I had a dual-boot Ubuntu and Vista laptop. Now I have the same but can't use Ubuntu because the wireless doesn't work. How do I do a clean install?
I haven't the remotest idea how...

I agree. Sadly, because I had time on my hands last Saturday and the upgrade was offered by Update Manager I took the plunge. I'm now on another computer using 9.04 because my wireless connection...

Can anyone suggest why I can sometimes connect wirelessly with my Acer 5535 without any trouble and sometimes it's impossible? I can then reboot to Vista and connect every time.
I don't have the...

I ran the Acer restore disc. I have since booted to the CD and used the fdisk/mbr command. Problem solved - thank you for your interest.

I have had Ubuntu 8.04 installed on one of my laptops. I have now sold that machine on ebay and have tried to restore Windows to the HDD. The restore seems to go as intended but when trying to boot...

Unlikely - it doesn't work under Vista. So in the not too distant future nobody will be able to use this phone. Clearly Cisco/Linksys have abandoned their users and I personally will never use one...

I'd love to be able to say that and can on my two home machines. I have responsibility for two machines at work: one is a machine only used for programming a CNC router, the other for an engraving...

Can't you partition the drive and format the new partition as ntfs leaving the 100gb alone?

Yes,thank you - in 17 years of using Windows either I have never come across the problem or if I've read of that limit I've forgotten. I've now formatted the disc to ntfs using gparted and no longer...

I too am looking at one of these. Has anyone refused the Windows licence and what was the result?

The only reason I wanted to format to anything other than fat 32 is that I couldn't transfer files bigger than 4 or 5gb - can't remember which.
Had I had the foresight to format the drive originally...

Hi

I have just been through a thread regarding formatting usb drives as ext3 - something I have done. The result needless to say is a useless drive which will not allow me to write anything to it....

Hi

I have successfully followed the instructions in this thread to backup my Ubuntu system. I have ended up with a file of 13.5gb - now the problem:
I am trying to copy this file to an external...

Same problem here but permission denied when I try to open the list. That presumably means I don't have root privileges - who the hell does then? :p

I had no intention of starting a flame war. I'm quite happy with Ubuntu on my Dell laptop and after following your advice re: 7.04 have managed to install it on my Acer - thank you.
