What type of laptop are you using? Sometimes you need to simply enable the wireless card (hardware issue) I have seen this same issue even with windows. Is there a button on your laptop that simply...

Great article, its nice to see sys76 in a top 5 category. :)

What ARE you using windows for?

Did you try simply reinstalling Ubuntu?

I know that may sound like a pain in the butt, but I have found that for Grub issues that usually takes care of it.

Also - I dont know if this applies...

I disagree about gaming. I think that there is a small market for gaming in Liunux - and even in windows for that matter. I have always been a firm believer in console gaming vs PC gaming. I think...

Sounds like fun! I will be there next sunday! :D

(As long as I can get all these games to install.)

See Ubuntu Philosophy- That will explain to you "the purpose" of makign ubuntu.

I dont recall seeing anything in the mission statement that says "windows sucks"

I really dont understand what...

Did the live CD work?

If not perhaps your install disk was corrupted. You may need to reburn and iso and try again.

Good Luck.

Have you tried fiddling with Alsa Mixer?

In the terminal just type alsamixer

if you click on the RSS link on the right hand side of the URL bar ( in firefox ) it will allow you to choose between either the whole forum or the specific category.

When you say your network card are you referring to the wireless network card or the ethernet?

If you plug an ethernet cable into the machine what happens?

Hey sorry for the late reply, yes it is that simple. It is the easiest program that I have ever used. :)

Takes all the thought out of making a bootable flash drive. I had my 9.10 running on my...

Depending on how much you are trying to spend I would definantly reccomend a system76 laptop. They are a little pricey but well worth it!

I had an acer aspire one. Ubuntu Worked well on it but...

Sorry I'm at work now but I can't believe that randomly fixed it. Haha. Linux does magical things sometimes. Or completely ridiculous things.

I am not sure what your next question was. U want to...

Just fixed this - if anyone is having this same problem fix it in a few easy steps.

1. Go to to terminal type in alsamixer and turn up the mic stuff.

2. Go to sound settings under system...

Have a similar issue and just solved it.

1. go to terminal turn up all the mics in alsamixer

2. Go to sound setting make sure it is on mic 2 .. It said i had two mics (even though I only have...

Let me know if it works out.

I have found that at times the easiest thing to do is just reinstall. When you upgrade, and try tofix issues you try so many things that you dont remember what you do...

Hey congrats on the new purchase. I have the same netbook running ubuntu netbook remix.

I didnt see you mention anything about the mic. Does yours work?

hey all, I have been searching around for a while but cannot get any useful information.

A lot of places say that the microphone does not work on the idea pad s 10 2 but .. how do you get it to...

You can install it from a flash drive. Using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

THAT might be the issue.

Ok I know this is going to be a pain in the ***, and if anyone has a better idea. PLEASE post it here.

But download 9.10 to a USB flash drive and reinstall it.

Going back to your original post- you said it hung up on the installation of the 2.4.4 drivers. Did you ever finish the install?

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/69073.html?wlc=1263739554

its a little biased and poorly written. BUT - very interesting situation. I have always considered the geek squad to be a joke - but...

Just read the sticky - did you update ALL systems before installing the 2.4.4 Drivers?

I am trying to go back to basics. Often times the most frustrating problems have the easiest fixes. :)
