Sorry, I've got mono so I totally spaced on giving my hardware specs (which is especially weird because I often help beginners with hardware problems, and have to ask them to post their specs)

Hey all,

For quite awhile, I've been a huge uplink fan- and when i noticed it was available for download in the software center, I was thrilled. To be honest, I doubt I spent much longer then 25...

If you use windows to convert the disk from fat32 to NTFS, then no, you don't need to format anything. If you used linux, then it would involve shrinking partitions, and creating new ones. The...

The first thing I'd start with would be your memory. Download a free copy of memtest86, burn the ISO and use it to boot and test your memory: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

I hope that comes back...

I just looked up your issue. This is a relatively widespread bug, with not many fixes. Here's one issue that I found: some of those GPUs that nVidia shipped were faulty, and the only fix was a...

transferring 160gb in one batch SHOULDN'T be a problem whatsoever. I have no idea where mobisallen got the notion that you have to do it in multiple operations. That's just plain idiotic. This isn't...

Simple. format the first partition using GParted while in Ubuntu 12.04. It won't mess up your bootloader, because that's on the MBR, and you can use the free space to create a new partition for file...

First things first, tell your system administrator to switch to more modern wireless security.

OK. Now that that's settled, why don't we have a look at your IP address and connection statistics....

This is a relatively well known bug with ubuntu - of any release really. when you boot your computer, try forcing the kernel option "acpi=on" at boot, and see if that helps.

Also try typing this...

It sounds like the drive could be dead. One thing to check would be to crack it open and see if any of the four contacts near the usb plug on the end have broken/become unsoldered. If so, it's an...

Unetbootin allows for the writing of an ISO image to a usb disk. So my advice would be to download the version of Ubuntu 12.04 that you wish to use off of the official ubuntu site, and select the...

Hello emrextreme.

I checked out the guitar tuning site that you wanted to allow access to your microphone with, and I could not get the controls to work either. This would most likely be due to a...

Sorry for the late reply - I volunteered at my local linuxfest, and I wasn't available.

the ATi Binary X.Org Drivers are the ATi Sponsored ones. I would recommend at least trying them and you can...

I'm not sure on that one, because I have a different series ATi card. But It probably wouldn't hurt to check what drivers you are using. type or paste this into a terminal:

lspci -nn | grep VGA
...

Yep. Those are the additional drivers - very user friendly to install, too :)

So just to clarify about installing 'amdovdrvctrl'. (sorry about my old instructions those were terrible)

1. You...

Well, that's good to hear that you can now use your sound card. I decided to post two methods to fixing the bootscreen, and hopefully you'll get a good result.
first try pasting this into your...

Hello folks. I just have a quick shortcut related problem. When I install a Windows Program under WINE, it fails to make any shortcuts in the Unity Program Launcher. I know I can access my programs...

You can reset the keyboard shortcuts via the control panel 'Keyboard Shortcuts'. It's located in the preferences menu (if I'm not mistaken). And you can remap any of the shortcuts.

WINE has known sound card issues. I would check
www.winehq.org for help, perhaps with the application's known issues.

Graphics card: Please give us the make and model. Otherwise, we can't help you. Sorry.

Sound card: well, the majority of things that relate to drivers involve something with the terminal. First...

Sorry :( I don't even remotely remember anybody releasing a patch to "slow down" the volume rising or lowering. I believe that the "rate of rise" is directly affected by your hardware, and I might...

I found a program related to your issue, and I thought it might help - it's a .deb package, and you might need to search the synaptic package manager or ubuntu software center to download GDebi...

Even if you were able to extract the .EXE (MS-Win Executable) file, the individual libraries and/or .DLL files wouldn't be of any use.
I would instead install WINE via apt-get:
sudo apt-get...

What I'd do would be this:

Boot the computer using the CD, and install the FULL operating system on the thumb drive using Ubiquity (the Ubuntu Installer), Instead of just copying the live image...
