I have Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit installed on an iMac5,1 (Intel Core 2 Duo T7400, 3 Gig RAM). I have installed all current updates, including the new 4.13 kernel. Note that my computer suffers...

Here's the log.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to reply so that this thread is able to be viewed by other people. Yes, it seems that the NEStopia included with Ubuntu 16.04 is actually the Undead Edition, version 1.47-1,...

Hello everyone. I've just installed Ubuntu 16.04 MATE on an iMac5,1 that has a Radeon Mobility X1600 video chipset. NEStopia runs, but when I attempt to run a "ROM", it quits unexpectedly. I've run...

Hi, all. I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS MATE.

My computer has Bluetooth and Wi-fi hardware. But I want it to start up with those items disabled. How do I do this?

Hello everyone. Please shift this if I'm posting in the wrong forum.

I have 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS MATE running on an iMac5,1. I'm attaching a photograph of my keyboard. Under...

Hi, everyone.

Just for the sake of completeness, I'll add that testing the NIC with Realtek's own diagnostic utility in Windows shows that the NIC hardware is faulty. So it's not an Ubuntu...

I added the line "r8168" to my /etc/modules. Now I get:


richard@richard-desktop:~$ lsmod | grep r81

Hi,

It appears to be installed. However, if I reboot, it's no longer installed. How do I make it stick?

Also, it doesn't appear to be working. When I turn off my wireless connection, I have...

Hi everyone. I'm on 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04. On Windows, my NIC works perfectly. On Ubuntu on the same machine, it doesn't. lspci gives:

Hi, everyone. I have a new HP Deskjet 2000 plugged in via USB. I'm on 32-bit 10.04. When I go System->Administration->Printing, I see a printer icon that is marked "HP-Deskjet-2000-J210-series". ...

Liberty,

Sorry to hear about the problems you're having.

Firstly, don't go buying new hardware. There is nothing wrong with your hardware. The Apple employees are trained to regard these...

Seems like a good idea.

It might be simpler to delete your existing Linux swap partition altogether. Let your Snow Leopard DVD do its job. Then let the Ubuntu installer create a new Linux swap...

I also confirm this issue on my MacBook.

There's a theory that it has to do with the fact that even after installing Mactel packages, Ubuntu has no ability to modify the voltage going to the CPU,...

Hi,

I'm trying to play various Half-Life 1 games (including Counter-Strike) under wine.

There is a known bug whereby when Half-Life 1 starts under wine, it does not gain the focus and so it...

Hi,

I want to bind a command to a key - so say when I press F1, the command "kill 123" is executed.

Is there a way?

Hi,

Is the package intel-microcode a good thing to install? I'm surprised that such a package is not installed by default but instead in multiverse. If I were to install it and microcode.ctl,...

Yes, I have. It doesn't work. My xorg.conf doesn't have much in it usually anyway, so there's nothing much for it to fix.

I sometimes get the startup sound, and I usually get a mouse pointer, but there is never any graphical display.

I can boot to a recovery mode, though, at my kernel selection screen, and get to a...

Hi, all.

In an attempt to adopt the latest intel video drivers, I installed all of the packages from the xorg-edgy PPA. Now my X won't boot at all. #-oI do have a backup but since I'm going to be...

Yes, that will work.

In fact, if you have a firewire cable and Firewire on both of the machines, you could boot her computer as an external hard drive (hold down T when booting it up) and boot off...

I have the same problem with my MacBook2,1, with the wireless setup able to view all available wireless routers but often unable to connect. I am almost always able to solve it by restarting the...
