Didn't get that far. Mind you the system never came up. In was in the last field of setting up 17.04, before the main screen would appear. There was no updates or third party software to install. I...

It was a full setup, 685 megabytes worth. The files from the internet were to confirm setup of the operating system. The old one has been tossed. It had other issues besides that, what with Windows 7...

This WiFi glitch is knutz... It has disabled my older laptop for good. I've tried at least a dozen EASY fixes, but they've only been temporary at best. Each time it works, the next time it becomes...

I chose to download a supported release; Poseidon Linux 4 which is an exact mirror of 10.04LTS for the scientific community... I will be downloading a copy for myself as soon as I can log all the...

Had 12.04 for two-weeks. Hated it so bad that I crashed my computer on purpose, erased the hard drive, and re-downloaded 10.04. Don't care if it's not going to be supported, it works perfectly for...

Recently downloaded a copy of my Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS on my sister's Dell Inspiron Mini 10 computer. a virus in her computer rendered it useless in Windows XP, and I use 10.04 so fixing future errors...

I had the opportunity to upgrade from 10.04LTS to 12.04LTS, when my system crashed due to no fault but my own. I had always had problems upgrading, when the system would encounter one error or...

I have the, "ehoover" version on my system, but it's a crap shoot if it evens works properly. Some days it works fine, both audio and video....

Any idea if this way of streaming Netflix would work? Seems like a lot of files and folders added, terminal...

It was fragged so badly (had so little information on it), that it wouldn't accept even the simplest of commands, claiming there was no such command listed. It gave me lists, but even those came back...

About a week or so ago, my system crashed (10.04.4 LTS Lucid Lynx). The hard drive was so fragged that I couldn't use it anymore. So I purchased another. It was then that I decided to upgrade to a...

Thanks, next I'll attack the Netflix problem...Nah...Maybe another day...lol

I think I may have fixed it. I took out the number "1" on line one and re-ran the update. I got a message similar to the first but it said Type "2" was the problem. So I removed the number two and so...

Lately I've been getting a strange symbol that appears in the upper right hand corner of the desktop. It appears to be a red triangle with an exclamation point in its center. If I put the cursor over...

Just for ship of giggles, you might try your nearest, "Staples" store. They advertise, at least around here, they fix computers. Another alternative is to do it yourself. If you go that route, you...

Mine just started doing it too. Only I get no errors, it just restarts instead of shutting down. It doesn't do it all of the time and at present it's working fine, but a couple of days ago I couldn't...

I upgraded my system from 9.8 to 10.04 and lost all my sound. I tried downloading ALSA MIXER, but for some reason the opening panels are blank and void of anything resembling the mixing panels from...

I downloaded the 10.10 desktop version. Everything seems to work fine except Firefox. Sure, I can get on, but getting out is something of a chore. Half the time the page freezes and won't allow me to...
