Thanks again folks! Did it and I'm up and running with the config I want.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up about the extended partition. I checked the specs on the drive and it is a 512/4096. I've also looked over the links you provided. Thanks very much!

I'm...

Thank you. I've looked at the guide you suggested, and will likely use it.

I have installed 14.04 LTS on a laptop, in a dual boot configuration with Windows 7. HDD size is 500 GB.
Before installing Ubuntu I used Gparted to get approximately a 250 GB partition for the...

Again, thanks for the advice!

I'm going to have to mark this as "solved," or at least resolved. I was just about to post when I read your reply. The strangest thing happened. I opened the game to...

Thanks for the reply. I checked and I've actually not updated the drivers since June of last year. I'm using ver. 10.8. Might it be possible that I need to update to a current version?

I am experiencing corruption of graphics in the game that has made it unplayable. The game loads and the login screen fine. The enter realm screen seems to be fine as well. But once I am actually in...

Thank you very much. I did that and it is, indeed, at the earlier version. It stopped one graphics glitch but the rest is still there and it's unplayable. I'll post in the WoW-related forum. Thanks...

Can someone point me to instructions, if such exist, on how to go back to an earlier version of Wine?

I was having the same problem. Nothing seemed to resolve it. I finally got it to work using PlayOnLinux. Dunno what wine's problem is but POL did it without a hitch or complaint. Give POL a try if...

A little bump. . .Anyone?

I'm close to domesticating the beast that is Ubuntu 10.04. I seem to have solved all of the problems I had except for one. When I put my laptop on its docking station, Ubuntu does not appear to see...

Folks, thanks very much for the help! Most appreciated. What ended up working was following the instructions in the link in Coffeecat's post. Excellent instructions that solved my dilemma. I'm good...

I'd appreciate it if someone can point me to some basic resources to set up basic networking in Ubuntu 10.04.1.

I have Ubuntu installed on a laptop in a dual-boot configuration with Windows XP. I...

Thanks Jeight. That's what I was thinking at first also, re the flash/malware issue. Particularly since I just updated NoScript. But the problem just started a day or so ago (and I've been using this...

Thanks for your kind words. My apologies for the terseness of my reply. Sincerely. The fault, I can see, is partially mine. I forget that "adult" is often used as a euphemism for certain areas and...

Actually, I think it would be wiser for me to take the advice of my doctor who originally recommended the site. Adult does not mean pornographic. It's a medical support site. The reason I used the...

I had no intention of posting the link. I'm not an idiot. And I'm well-used to reading rules. I'm pushing 60 years old. And for you filthy minded types it is not a pornographic site. If I had meant...

I'm using 10.04. When I try to access a particular adult site that streams flash videos the connection takes quite a while to happen and IF it happens to load correctly Ubuntu wants to download files...

Further digging has uncovered a couple of things. . .first of all I installed acpitool and invoking it with the -s switch will send the computer into suspend. I also read that Ubuntu doesn't like an...

I have installed Ubunto 10.04, in a dual-boot configuration on a laptop also running Windows XP Pro.

I have a couple of problems that none of my searches have been able to resolve. I understand...

Thank you. I actually figured out my problem last evening. As you pointed out, I didn't have Ubuntu installed on the drive any longer because, as I said, I had wiped it so that I could create a...

Okay. . .I see what the problem is. Took me a while but, as I noted in my first post, I'm a rank newbie.
What I would like to do is have a Primary partition for Ubuntu. Within that Primary I'd like...

Hey Jmih, thanks for that info. I think the issue with the headphones may be related to the fact that Ubuntu is seeing my soundcard as a different brand than it actually is. I've seen the headphone...

Well, I absolutely cannot figure this out. I thank you all for the tips, info and suggestions! But between this and not being able to get my headphones to work I guess perhaps I'm just not ready for...
