Hi folks,

As the title says, my window borders changes to rectangular grays after something happens like a Wine error or something on my desktop computer.

Any idea guys? Would love to suspend/hibernate than to switch over to Windows again!

What keys do you use to wake from hibernation?

In Windows its the on/off key.

Thanks guys, C.S.Cameron, what is a casper-rw file?

This is 4GB on my USB drive, is this something like a swap file?

I'm still unclear about persistent files.

I'm running 9.10, how do I wake up from sleep or hibernation on my Dell XPS notebook? I have no problem putting the comp to sleep/hiber but can't seem to work out the keys to wake it up again.

I...

Hi folks,

I have managed to install Ubuntu on an 8GB USB flash drive using the usb creator, it boots up well no problem though it does seem to stop and idle a bit in the middle of the booting...

Hi,

I have successfully set up my new PC with ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7 running i860, 4GB RAM and ATI 5770 video. I like Windows 7, its way better than Vista, but Ubuntu is so much better IMO! ...

Thanks for that mate!

I want to get a good graphics card that supports the latest games. I was very disappointed with the 8600GTS in my Dell XPS, I want to get 50+ FPS not 10. I'm going with LED...

Thanks again.

Regarding video, I came across the ATI 5770, performs just as good as the 260, cheaper and uses less power. Seems like my best pick of the bunch (at the moment). My concern would...

Yeah thanks mate, I looked at their systems because they were their recommendations and they're in Melbourne where I can actually see the systems in person. I have no idea on the motherboard/cpu...

Thanks for the quick replies.

Not a corporate box, a fully custom one! But I will consider built systems. I want to get a HTPC type case that's powerful but quiet so might as well go for a good...

Hi folks,

I'd like to ask what's your recommendation for a new desktop with the latest components that will be running Ubuntu and Windows 7 for latest games and stuff I can't run on Ubuntu.

I'd...

Hey guys, I tried installing XAMPP in Ubuntu 9.10 following some of the instructions here and had somehow got it to work. I used the virtual host to relocate my working web files instead of using...

Bump!

Results from iwconfig :

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

Bump! And I'll keep on bumping.

Unfortunately the people with previous wireless problems and have managed to solve it are as good as we are, they got lucky.

I'm trying to understand how to get my wireless working reliably but no...

It seems my wireless in ubuntu can only work after booting from Windows Vista. I think it could be something to do with catching the signal during the Windows session.

I also noticed that during...

When I do the installation it always prompts me for the CD which I don't have.

Is there a way to install without using the CD? (like the usual deb or package manager way).

OK so Ubuntu works after booting up in Vista and rebooting again.

Hmm....something is not sticking or Vista is doing something magical to my wireless settings?

Ah crap its been disabled again after I rebooted it.
