beat you on that :P

you would be much better checking out eeebuntu (google it).

it is ubuntu repackaged for the eee machines.

firstly java:


sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras

should be your first port of call...

and then wine..

have you got vlc installed?

funnily enough, an update for ubuntu-one just came out and fixed the trash issue.

as for the rest, can live with it for now :D

heh, didn't know that about the ubuntu-one client and nautilus...

so when gdm is updated will it reinstall the applet?

or will i need to reinstall it myself?

and i knew that command, but...

I had a bunch of updates being held back.

So like a fool i decided to use aptitude to install them, so they'd stop bugging me whenever i check for updates.

problem is they removed my...

frankly, it's a pain in the ***.

but then i like that, i like the challenge of getting it to work :D

of course, this time the only way i could get ti to work was to do a 300mb update over my...

firefox-3.5

iirc

will start you off...

or indeed linux mint, a very good ubuntu based distro..

is that a pci-e card? if so, then getting even the cheapest nvidia card will potentially solve your problems... it'll certainly allow you to use jaunty...(not what you are looking for i'm sure, but...

have you tried the latest version, 9.04, to see if it solves the problems?

and is there any data to save?

shame your moving back to windows, but you'll still get a good level of help.

and...

may help :D

in short no ;)

open source rolls along on the principle, "if you want something try doing it yourself".

or try and convince enough people to do it for you i suppose..

and 2gb really is not a lot, it can disappear very quickly. I've had mobile broadband before.

really depends on the person and how much they use it...

ah, here was me thinking you had a laptop...

have you tried putting it in a different pci slot?

realistically? no.

i wouldn't recommend doing updates over a 3g modem, slow and potentially costly...

is the wireless card not working at all? and what type is it? built-in, usb etc?

if i'm reading the guide properly, you should just be able to eject the card, ~(not physically of course), and then just right click on network manager in your sys tray and select the 3g option to...

and this is a 3g card for mobile broadband, yes?

what version of ubuntu are you using?

heh you won't find alsamixer in there, but you will find a gui to changes the sound
levels...

try


sudo dpkg --configure -a

not sure off the top of my head, but you can boot into recovery mode, (via the kernel selection screen at boot up), and use the xfix option.... This will reconfigure the xorg for you ...
