I can't get intel mobo's to boot the live usb without the acpi=off option. As this is nearly 2012, this is very undesirable. ACPI appears responsible for things like actually shutting down the PC....

using the "text" instead of quiet splash options in grub, I noticed that it gets to "running scripts/init/bottom" "done", and then adjusts the console font. After this I can press ctrl+alt+f1 to get...

this may be an issue with p67-based motherboards, or perhaps specific p67 based mobos. I have the same issue with my MSI p67a-g43. Note that sdb is the usb disk, and for me, the issue persists even...

This is a new computer. The USB disk has been tested with my laptop, and works.

The computer cannot boot from the ubuntu usb key. It hangs at the line
"Attached USB Removable Device", which is...

any advice?

is this the correct forum?

my bluetooth keyboard doens't work.

plugging in the bluetooth module does show an icon where I can setup my device.

I entered the PIN code on the keyboard and it listed itself as connected.

XFS is typically my FS of choice. however, I've notice severe problems with amd64 and XFS in some kernel versions. of note, 2.6.27 seems to hate it. I was able to brick a fresh 8.10 install with...

so, today I added a small EP to my ipod using gtkpod.

gtkpod is fairly buggy. for example, clicking on the ipod hierchy icon will cause the icon to dissappear, requiring a restart of gtkpod.

oh, and as a note, installing kde4.2 from kubuntu 8.10 seems to fail and then make kde unsuable.

this doesn't work for me. however I was able to take an ubuntu install and get kde4.2 working fairly painlessly, though things like konsole are missing by default. This method also throws...

I normally use XFS, but for ubuntu i get blocked by the installer. It always tells me that I MUST put / /usr /boot on ext2/3. This makes no sense as XFS works on all of these. In anycase, maybe...

to save files, i must click "advanced mode", then find the location, then save. i guess thats more than 2 clicks. I mean to refer to the issue that, while gnome/gtk will remeber everything else...

Are there any gconf or gtkrc settings to fix the 2-click dialog issues? I don't want to have a list of 100+ favorite places. I just want the dialog to open in "advanced" mode by default, as I will...

I too am KDE over gnome. I plan to go with debian testing pretty soon. the gnome UI is just too much work to learn. while some may use it well, i cannot. i tried just recently. i literally...

hmm, after testing ubuntu for a day it seems that it is not for me. i'm now looking at debian testing. I couldn not find wxpython anywhere in the universe/multiverse or other install sources. ...

ok, i've got kde back, got mp3 back, got more debian sources. this fixed 1, 2, and 4, but still no wxpython, bootsplash. I actually hugged my monitor when i got kde back. i opened a file within 2...

then why even have forums?

hmm, thats exactly not what i had wanted.

upon first boot:
1.) cannot play MP3s. the gnome sounds do work, but totem cannot play mp3s for "unknown reasons". I would like to play music.
2.) save/load dialog. Is there any way to revert...

the issue with yoper is that its not really at a stable point yet. it seems to be an OS made by a small group of well intentioned people that need more manpower or a better starting point.

I am currently using gentoo, which i am not overly happy with. I find it difficult to maintain with 2 computers and 2 archs (x86_32 and x86_64). further things break WAY too much and the...
