I'm having the same problem with a ThinkPad T43 laptop. Screen resolution should be 1400x1050, but I can't get higher than 1024x768.

I'm following all the online documenation (and I even have the Official Ubuntu Server Book - 2nd Edition http://amzn.to/bj68pn ). Still can't get instances to stay up. They automatically shutdown...

Thanks for your reply, santhony.

I think my problem may be disk space. I installed the Front End controller on a 10 GB partition. I can mount another partition and symlink all the Eucalyptus stuff...

I guess I'm a UEC tester. I'm trying to deploy a test cloud and I'm having trouble getting instances started. They start, shut down, and terminate. I haven't gotten one running yet after quite a few...

backuppc can use rsync as it's transfer mechanism. Works great. Slightly complicated to set up, but wonderful once you understand it.

I wouldn't worry about it, but I agree with kirmonkey. Have an automated backup. If you have the money, buy a new Seagate drive and use CloneZilla to clone the old drive to the new one. Better safe...

The SATA card that you have doesn't seem to be able to boot. It'll work fine as extra storage, but the boot drive has to be connected to the motherboard.

If you find a way to boot a drive from...

Mine didn't come with an extension. I plug it directly into the computer and it still does not work. Any suggestions or help on this would be great.

thanks

In the router setup (192.168.1.1), look at the status page. If there's zeros where a network gateway should be, release and renew your connection.

Unfortunately, the WUSB54GC v3 does not work out of the box (at least for me) on Ubuntu 8.10. I have the latest updates, which were installed while connected to a wired network.

I tried plugging...

I'm glad to hear that the WUSB54GC adapter works fine with Ubuntu 8.10. I just had a client purchase one and I wasn't exactly sure that it would work with Ubuntu. So relieved that it does.

I support Ubuntu on Dell D620s, similar to your D630. I haven't had any problems with the sound not working on the D620.

Test some things:

Can you use the keyboard or laptop media buttons to...

I solved my problem. I changed the Gizmo5 sound settings to use OSS instead of ALSA. Restarted Gizmo5 client and it worked.

I have been using Gizmo5 for almost a year, but sound issues have been terrible since upgrading Ubuntu to 8.10. Does anyone have success with sound output for Gizmo5 on 8.10?

The mic works, so the...

I'm also looking for installation instructions of TWiki 4.2 on Ubuntu 8.10. I'm not having much success. I think I may be missing some dependencies.

From another recent thread on this forum, I found that this command can give me the date seven days from now:

date -d "+7 days" "+%m%d"

However, I'm not sure that this can help me solve my...

Hello forum,

I would like to write a script that symbolic links the filename CurrentCommunique.pdf to the actual most current communique based on the date in the filename. I use the filename...

I do plan on doing this later. It will be an example of how a set of instructions tell the computer what to do (even if it is only display as HTML would be).

We'll also install and use some web...

It worked fairly well. I did the demonstration on Wednesday because it was "block day" (hour and a half classes). The concept of Domain Name Resolution was very effectively illustrated by having the...

Well, I'll share a few of my ideas since no one is commenting.

Right now my students are learning about networks and the internet. The ubuntu computers are isolated, not connected to the larger...

Hello,

I'm teaching a Computer Applications class in a private high school. I had the class build two computers from stock components and then we installed xubuntu (on the slower machine) and...

I'm impressed and inspired by your attitude. Thanks for being an example of someone who values life-long learning.

Hello eatpie75,

I get a whole bunch of errors when I try to run your program. I have libgtk2-ruby installed.

Here's the output (sorry for length and I didn't even post it all):
