Can anybody help me with this? I'd appreciate it.

I actually have two questions. On both of my Dell computers, the shutdown icon in the extreme upper right corner cannot be seen. I have tried desktop resizing, etc. but nothing works. It's...

yep, it was the Flashplayer plugin. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it now everything is working! And I did that before I got back on here! Pat myself on the back! And Thank You!

I installed alsamixerdui, as you suggested. When I opened it, it didn't look like it was supposed to look (no colors, all gray). I nevertheless, saw it had my soundcard listed. It showed master...

I recently upgraded to Lucid on my Dell 1505n laptop. I have an integrated soundcard on the Intel motherboard. I can hear the bongos when my login page comes up, but no sound at all when I finally...

My husband has a Gamin nuvi GPS he bought last year, when he still had Windows XP. We now have both of our computers running on Ubuntu 9,10, He recently got on the Garmin website to update his...

They are on the front and yes, I did plug them into the right jacks. One is pink and one is green, just like my headset. This is on a 6 month old Dell laptop.

I plugged my headset into my husband's desktop running Karmic. The sound card is working fine ( just listened to music on the external speakers). But when I plug in the headset, I can't hear...

I installed the Garmin Webupdater using Wine and then ran it, as directed. It runs fine until it gets to the actual download. It keeps giving me an error message that it cannot download the update....

Well, that did allow me to backup his files. Thanks! I guess I'll just have to go ahead now and do a complete re-install. I don't see another alternative. Thanks anyway!

Zman, if you saw my post above, I tried to use the live CD to save my husband's home folder to another drive, but it won't let me do that. It says I don't have permission. I used his user name and...

I also reported it in Launchpad, but all I got there was to totally re-install. I would rather not do that. This is my husband's computer and he is not really good at backing things up. I have...

I have the live CD, also and have used it to boot. I just need to know what to put into the terminal to get the upgrade fixed. Any ideas, please?

I got the very same message. I have been waiting for three days for some help. The only help offered is to completey wipe the drive and re-install which I don't want to do! My computer is less...

Mine had the same message. Any help appreciated. I have no idea what to do.

I updated my Inspiron 530/531 using the update manager. Everything seemed to go fine until I restarted. I got the following message:

init: sreadahead main process (2089) terminated withstatus 1...

Thanks for answering. I could only open the desktop by using failsafe gnome. When I used it, it said I couldn't load Hal. I finally just did a clean install. I got tired of messing with it.

Last night, I attempted to update my OS from 7.10 to 8.04, using Update Manager. It wasn't finished downloading files when I went to bed, so I set it aside to allow it to continue overnight. I woke...

I live west of Celina and north of Coldwater. I was surprised to see anybody in my area. I've only ran into one other person in this area who had even heard of Ubuntu.

I have been using Ubuntu...

Just to let you know. I tried to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, using the CD, but it didn't work. I even downloaded the DVD version that has all the extras. No go. So I downloaded Intrepid and ran...

Would it work if I installed Hardy using my CD as a repository, then do the same with 8.10?

I read somewhere on the Ubuntu site that it was possible to upgrade if you set the cdrom as a repository in Software Sources. I tried this, but it kept saying certain packages were failing and would...

I downloaded and burned the new 8.10 CD. I am currently running 7.10. I checked my computer (Dell 1505n) running it on the CD alone and everything seems to work. I would like to upgrade from my...

Hmmm... I've read this entire thread and many others concerning getting the 3956abg wireless to work with Hardy. I have a Dell 1505n that worked fine until I updated to Heron. I was using Network...

Thanks, it worked that time. I don't know what I did wrong the first time. Maybe didn't enter something correctly, I don't know. It's been one of those days! Actually weeks since I still can't...
