My Toshiba Satellite L855-S5405 keeps freezing occasionally (once or twice every week or so). The CPU never gets above 65C, and the HDD never gets above 43C.

Anyway, my computer just crashed twice...

Here's the outputs:

I have setup file sharing with nautilus over a lan using samba. It works fine but when I try to unmount the shared folder (by right-clicking in nautilus and pressing unmount on the client system), I...

OK, then i guess this thread is solved?

ok, so i should use apt-get upgrade instead?

Hmm... the last time I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a my system got messed up, so I'm a little leery of doing it again...

bumpity.

Does this help?

Today it was all the x drivers, which I reinstalled by running



sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg


The last time it happened it was a lot of unrelated stuff, including xfce, unity,...

About a month ago update manager uninstalled a bunch of stuff while updating and today it decided that i didn't need x11 anymore... :confused:

Is there a way to get it to simply install stuff and...

OK, the link I put in my previous post doesn't have the right version anymore. So here is what you have to do.

1. If you have Flash player 11 installed, uninstall it. Otherwise go to step 2.
2....

Umm, bump. :-\

EDIT:

OK, even though I do not have a 64 bit version OS running and it seems unrelated, this worked for me:...

Here is another option, if you do not want to use compiz:

Did blacklisting the i915 driver do anything? I haven't tried it yet, but I was just wondering.

I tried using "nomodeset" in grub, but all that happened was I lost my 3d support, and could not log...

Hi.

When I play FlightGear the textures do not load (the planes are black). Also, some screensavers don't run as fast as on my old (slower) computer.

I am wondering what the problem is.

My...

EDIT:

I booted the Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD and it still cannot connect to the internet. I did "modprobe tg3" and it didn't seem to do anything. What should I do?

Bump.

Note to mods:

If I am bumping too early, please remove this post ;)

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell Optiplex 745 today. I could not connect to the internet with the LiveCD, but I installed it anyway. It still doesn't work. This is the first time linux has been...

OK, I just tried that. It says that the drive is fine. I guess ubuntu must have corrupted.

Also,I just got the SliTaz LiveCD. Any objections to it? Would installing it be a good idea?

Well, I have a pretty old graphics card (nvidia geforce 5200). Is that old enough where changing color depth would work?

How do I get to disk utility?

Also, gParted seems to think its ok.

also, this HDD has had bad sectors before (2 yr ago), and it has been working good since i used HDAT2 to fix them, so if...
