*Bump*
Sorry if I shouldn't be bumping repeatedly, but it's been four days.
Can anyone help?

First of all, thanks for being willing to help me! ;)

Now, the output of the command you requested. This is the output of ifconfig when I'm connected with the default settings. At this point, my...

Hi, everyone.
I've been trying to set a static IP address for my laptop for a while now, but I can't get past this problem. I have tried to change my IP address with this procedure: I right-click on...

Ubuntu is faster because it's going down a hill.
Can you help me? I think my computer needs some new boots.

I told you that if you left the hill, I'd pay you $20, but you left and I never paid you!

dandnsmith, you seem to be very insightful. I know that 256 MB of RAM is scraping the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. I'll try to get the RAM upgraded to something reasonable if I can, and get a...

I was thinking that, too. Maybe after Thanksgiving I can get more RAM (and a new CD drive). I know a good computer store nearby. For some reason, I didn't think of Lubuntu. I don't need anything...

I was wondering what the problem was. Do you think that it's just old and slow, or is something failing?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't really need this PC to be very fast; I just want something usable. I have a laptop that runs Ubuntu very fast, and that's what I'm typing on.

I'm not sure if this is a relevant question or if I'm putting this in the right place, but I'm having odd symptoms with a PC (It's a Dell Dimension 8200 from circa 2001). It has 256 MB...

Well, the trophy regenerated in my hands (For it can't be destroyed) and I thew it in a very secure safe which happens to be bolted to the floor of my closet. And I will never tell you the...

You can get REAL nonsense with this command:

I don't know any specific laser color printer that works well on Ubuntu, but there's a good database of information that allows you to look up a model of printer and get a report of how well it works...

Yes. I'm not sure how to fix your main problem, but to check the temperature of your pc, run:

If you live in the US or otherwise use Fahrenheit, use:

On the top of my Firefox window, it says, "Ubuntu Forums - Reply to Topic - Mozilla Firefox." What topic? This is the off-topic game!

I have the power to close this thread!

You gladly resurrect a computer that runs Windows XP painfully slowly. Despite the fact that it only has 256MB of RAM, you're confident that you can run a super-lightweight Linux OS on it at a decent...

Try rebooting...it fixes everything.That and try flat ginger ale.

Hey! This Ubuntu thing isn't like Windows! What should I do?!
