I agree with the prior poster . I have a realtek 8192SE card. I pulled the driver directly from the realtek site (the 12/20/10 version). The version in the headers is from 5/07/10. I have turned...

I did, but it seems to be behaving much better since the most recent kernel updates. Seems they fixed alot of wireless stuff. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38.3-natty/

Functionality was severely limited. Getting wireless to work was a serious pain in the ***. I don't remember the exact procedure, but I remember it was painfully difficult. And then I got it...

I would check the wireless card. Most cards work great now, but find out the manufacture of the wireless card and google it and find out if it is supported. Everything else looks great. The...

I agree. I tried 10.10 netbook remix, but the performance of mutter was terrible (that's why they switched to compiz for 11.04). I would recommend avoiding the netbook remix.

11.04 is awesome...

also, it is advisable to download software from the provided repositories before installing external software. Go to software center, search for what you want. Or use apt.

Boot options - choose repair installation.

I do not think the screensaver thing is what's going on. I would also check the power options by clicking the battery icon (or going to administration -> power options) and look for the setting...

I have a palm tx that I messed around with for a while. I think the projects involved are all almost dead.

You can't install linux, but what you can do is load up a distro (there are various...

fyi shift + ctrl + v to paste in terminal and command prompt (in windows).

also, windows 7 basic installation requires 16-20 gigs hdd space, so this is not that bad in comparison.

Do you hear the CD drive spinning up? It could be a drive failure? Perhaps you should try loading and booting from USB. It's much faster anyways.

I too have this problem.

I think it largely depends on which hardware version you have. I have rtl8192se, and since the most recent kernel update (I have backports turned on), the wireless has worked perfectly without...

did anyone find out how to do this?

still a problem with maverick and the newest drivers from realtek

experiencing same problem. I even upgraded to the newest driver from realtek (see modinfo below). I even experience crashes every once in a while after wireless acts goofy.

What it sounds like is that your nameservers are taking a long time for a lookup. You can manually set your dns servers.

OpenDNS's nameservers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

Right Click the network manager applet (by default upper right hand corner of the screen), then click edit connections. Select Auto Eth0, then edit. Go over to IPV4 settings, Select Static from the...

or just look in applications -> internet -> wicd

if you installed wicd it should be there

Kdenlive seemed to be the best option when i tested these out about 4 months ago.

It sounds like kdenlive is not using the correct audio device. Go to settings -> configure kdenlive and look for...

for zsnes, have you gone in the settings and clicked "enable sound". It also depends on the particular rom. Some roms have different sound settings. I would suggest trying a different rom and/or...

Ok, thanks for the earlier help, i am just now having one inconsistent and minor problem . . . the time at the end of my display gets one digit cut off sometimes.

I have tried increasing...

d'oh. didn't think about it.

sorry it doesn't work. you could always write epson and ask them to support all operating systems. and then buy a cheapo HP.

in regards to question 2

give ubuntu some time . . . i think if you're like me and many linux users, you will enjoy the flexibility of linux. i am not a guru by any means, but with a few google...
