I've been running Linux Mint on my PanP5 and thought I'd try Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. I created a bootable USB pendrive and the Ubuntu install went OK. After a couple of reboots (I don't remember...

The USB drive that works is 1GB; the one that doesn't work is 8GB. The image file that I tried to use was about 1.1GB; the Universal USB Installer program reads the ISO image and copies the files...

I've got a PanP4 with the BIOS that was shipped with it (1.02.22S76). When creating a bootable USB drive, I've found that the PanP4 will not boot from a USB thumb drive formatted as FAT32 but will...

This isn't any help but I always had spotty luck trying to automatically connect to a hidden network. I finally un-hid the network and hope my MAC filtering a WPA phrase will keep me secure. With...

I did this by backing up my Documents folder (everything I want to keep is in that folder) to a thumb drive and then did a clean install of 10.04. Not sophisticated but it worked.

Unless I'm missing something, I think you're trying to run a Windows program (software bundled with the DVD writer).

I did an online upgrade from 10.10 to 11.4 (PanP5). The upgrade went fine but Unity left me a bit cold; it seems like a solution to a nonexistant problem on a laptop or desktop computer; change for...

I've tried all of those things; my stuck pixels remain stuck. To retailiate against them, I've chosen a desktop image which makes them harder to see. It's not the end of the world but if I ever...

And for all it's worth, the 32-bit Flash that installs with a wrapper program was working OK with my ISP's web portal...and then it just stopped working. I removed it and downloaded Adobe's latest...

Greetings. Tonight I went to download the 10.4.1 refresh for my 4 GB Panp5 and saw what I thought was something odd. A radio button on the download page lets you select 32-bit ("Recommended for...

It's funny you should mention that. The day my Panp5 arrived, I saw the UPS driver actually drop the shipping carton on the floor of the truck. The laptop was packed well so it didn't cause any...

Thanks Tom. That clears it up.

Tom: Thanks. Not to beat this to death though...if the system76 driver itself is updated via Update Manager, is there any need to invoke the Install Drivers function after the update? Apologies...

This isn't much help and I could be wrong but I think the blinking numlock/capslock keys mean you've got a kernel panic.

Can you create a 64-bit Ubuntu install CD and try reinstalling? Maybe...

To me this is an application issue. Don't think of it as buying a computer or an operating system; think about what you want to run on your computer. If you can run everything you want on an Ubuntu...

I was wondering the same thing, so I clicked on the Install Drivers tab and then the Install button and rebooted. Not sure if it was necessary but no ill effects (Panp5).

Juelze: I am running Adobe's pre-release 64-bit Flash plug-in for Firefox; maybe that's why it's working for me. I tried it out of desperation because I had the same problem I think you're having...

Juelze: The YouTube video plays fine for me. What happens when you click on the "play" arrow on the video?

I've got a panp5. The day 9.10 came out I did a clean install. I couldn't get Flash to work properly so I reinstalled 9.04. A few weeks ago I reinstalled 9.10 again figuring that after I applied...

I'll give that a try. I'm somewhat of a Linux hobbyist (read:dangerous) and the last time I tried to install wicd I completely blew my configuration out of the water and had to reinstall Ubuntu.

Tom: It's a panp5. I think the problem is that I don't broadcast my ssid. GNOME seems to handle that well ("Connect to Hidden Wireless Network") while I can't find anything in KDE that allows me...

Working fine for me.

This behavior is normal. Once the nVidia drivers are installed, you should use NVIDA X Server Settings.

To change the resolution, open the nVidia application and then click on "X Server Display...

Mark: The "little line bouncing back and forth" has happened to me a number of times installing the s76 driver. What I do is force the application closed, reboot, and try again. It always works on...

Sam: I "accidentally" installed a 32-bit version of Ubuntu 9.04 on my PanP5 (reached for the wrong Ubuntu CD) and the system76 driver worked fine. You shouldn't have any issues doing this.
