Hi, I had downloaded the 32-bit ISO image for Precise. Upon doing a disk check, the CD simply spins for long periods while it is checking the files without completing. This behavior is not observed...
Hi,
Please do not upgrade at this point in time. It is reflected in the release notes that I am assuming that they will be addressing 10.04.4 to 12.04.1 migration bugs. If you wish to use 12.04,...
WINE is a meta-package. This means that it really isn't a single file, but instead it is a collection of files. You might try APTonCD. It is promising. BUt... you best bet would be to somehow get...
GNOME 2 is dead. Well, it will be eventually. So, all existing GNOME 2 users are forced to either embrace Ubuntu's Unity (which to me seems to be designed for tablets), or get some loving from GNOME...
Hi.
The common practice for a new user of Ubuntu is to install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras. Amongst other useful multimedia options, it enables the installation of Adobe Flash. Please try...

If Ubuntu has issues displaying its GUI at startup, you might have better luck with another distro. Since this is the Ubuntu Forums, I'll leave you to decide which distro is most popular at...

Hi,
I have a Western Digital Advanced Format drive. With a new installation of Lucid, it showed a disk alignment warning. The misalignment occurs in the extended partition that houses the swap...
I have the same problem. ATI updates for post-release fails to install. I have an AMD C-50 netbook.
On Lucid, my B410dn is installed via Appsocket and the driver B4200 is selected. Duplexing works fine. As I live in Singapore, I had to select the page size to A4 as it defaults to US Letter sizing....

Download the scanner driver. The driver may...
