    [all variants] Re: Case for the Starling?

    My netbook is a 10.2" MSI with a 6 cell (4400 mAh) battery -- very similar in size to the Starling. There's more than enough room for the 6 cell battery attached to the computer. I'm sure a 9 cell...

    [all variants] Re: Case for the Starling?

    I've been happy with the Case Logic LNEO-10 neoprene sleeve. The front zip pocket has enough room for the ac adapter and a mouse.

    [ubuntu] Re: Best Way to Install Ubuntu 10.04?

    I'd suggest using gparted to re-partition the hdd from the 10.04 live cd. (I'm pretty sure gparted is on there.) While you're at it, why not update to 10.10?

    My Ratel (pre-installed w/ 10.10)...

  6. [SOLVED] Re: how the heck do you play a podcast that is only available from itunes?

    I get you now: "others exactly like" the one in your original post. Would you mind posting another example -- of one only found in iTunes?
  7. [SOLVED] Re: how the heck do you play a podcast that is only available from itunes?

    If you're asking about the link to the WOR 710 page(s), it was easy to find given the information at the iTunes link you provided: title and radio station call letters. I used Google to find the...
  8. [SOLVED] Re: how the heck do you play a podcast that is only available from itunes?

    That probably is easier. I'm always thinking in terms of subscribing rather than downloading, even though the OP did write download.

  10. [ubuntu] Re: mp3 codec bitrate always shown as 48 kbs now

    Sorry, thought I was clear about that in the original post. The encoding is fine, it's just the wrong bitrate showing whenever I look at the audio properties: like gstreamer is tagging the file as...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: mp3 codec bitrate always shown as 48 kbs now

    Booting the last two kernels (.25 and .23) didn't fix it. Must be something else that changed since last Wed. I'll keep working on it.

    I'd say something is wrong if you don't see a Touchpad tab in the dialog box produced by selecting the System->Preferences->Mouse menu option. The Touchpad preferences includes options to "Disable...
  13. [SOLVED] Re: Ubuntu insists my battery is about to die

    I think you're experiencing this known bug:

    It happens all the time on my netbook if I don't suspend before unplugging the cord.
  14. [ubuntu] mp3 codec bitrate always shown as 48 kbs now

    This may be a minor irritation, but I'm puzzled by it nonetheless. I'm ripping my CDs to MP3 using Sound Juicer with the lamemp3enc plugin and following gstreamer pipeline.

    From where did you learn that Apple iOS is based on Linux? I don't think that is true at all beyond the argument that Mac OS-X (and by extension iOS) and Linux have some common ancestry from UNIX. ...
  16. [SOLVED] Re: Ratel will not let me into the boot menu nor bios settings

    jr223, thanks for the post. Are you able to get the BIOS boot menu from F10? Also, are you using HDMI or DVI? Switching to DVI helped to fix the intermittent boot splash logo and menu. I'm...
  17. [SOLVED] Re: gparted errors caused by extended/swap partitions

    I was running from the LiveCD. Nothing mounted and swap off. I suspect it was just a quirk in how the disk was partitioned/imaged during the initial system build. I only brought it up because I've...

  20. [SOLVED] Re: Ratel will not let me into the boot menu nor bios settings

    Alex, good point: since it will let me into the BIOS settings (but not the boot menu), I'll try changing the boot device order and see if that will let me update to the BIOS from a USB drive.
