Thanks to all who have answered, I will update with the results later today once I am at home.

I would agree with BBQdave.

I have an old shed of a Fujistu laptop, probably 6 or 7 years old. Runnning 12.04, an SSD and with a no-name chinese battery installed, I still get between 2 and 3...

I hope my question makes sense.

I have a 32gb sd card in my car stereo, which has a folder on it named "music", in which are subfolders "A", "B", "C" etc, containing the relevant artists and...

Thanks Favux, I will read and digest the information you have kindly linked to.

I will probably wait until the LTS is released before I persue this problem, as that's what I usually stick to.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I have been searching and reading until my eyes hurt, and don't seen to be able to find a definitive answer.

I have a generic chinese tablet PC -...

Well, I get the splash screen for my really old (I reckon 12-15 years) avance logic pci card, and no error beep codes from the motherboard, just no loading of the OS.

I think I should be able to...

I'm in the process of resurrecting a desktop system for a friend, which has a dead onboard video card. It's an acer T180, giving one long beep, followed by two short beeps.

All I have here is an...

Does the standard document reader (evince?) not fulfill your requirements?

I've revived plenty of systems with used ram from ebay. It's as cheap as chips (pun intended), as nobody wants 256 modules. Even with "only" 512mb, you should have no trouble running lubuntu or...

You won't get much help bumping a 14 minute old thread with a reply like that.

I might be wrong, but as far as I know, emails are often stored encrypted, so even if you could get them back (which...

Maybe you shouldn't listen to people "passing".

Is this a joke?

Is rubyripper even current? I remember having to build it last time I used it.

It doesn't answer the question, but I would recommend using asunder or ripperx.

Have you tried the obvious - ie restart the router?

EDIT: Maybe the SSID is hidden?

I try to avoid using the software centre for exactly this reason. I find it quite unreliable, which is a shame, as it is most likely the first port of call for new users wanting to install new...

Do you mean that you cannot select that res? The link suggests that it would not even be available to use.

I have a G41 chipset, and can select 1440x900, and 1920x1080 with no problems. As you...

Have you tried mplayer from terminal? It might give more detailed output on the error.


mplayer dvd://1

Have you tried opening a terminal and using:

to see if you have anything hogging resources?

You should be able to run Ubuntu no problems on that machine.

Don't worry about drivers, as almost all of them (if not all) will be installed with Ubuntu, and any others can usually be downloaded...

It's usually for your wireless key. To prevent this, I go to edit connections (right click on signal strength bars), select your wireless connection, edit, and check the box at the bottom which says...

I used to have trouble with my NWZ walkman, although with 10.04 it works fine.

I had to use:


killall gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor

Before plugging it in. Worth a shot.

Nothing to add of any help I'm afraid, just to say that this would explain the overheating problems I had with any 'buntu on my Toshiba A60. The fan sometimes ran, and sometimes didn't.

Update - I threw the TV out of the window, should I now mark the thread as "solved"?

A small update, but still no success.:(

I have so far tried the following:

PC -> TV via DVI/HDMI cable, everything green.(10.04)

PC -> TV via HDMI cable, everything green.(10.04)

PC ->...

The only time I've experienced the symptoms you've described has been when a hard drive has been on it's way out.

Is it a dual boot setup? If so, are the other OSs affected?

I have had laptops that have been a bit picky about live cds, but the alternate install CD usually works.
