    That did fix Flash video, but the HTML5-based video was still acting up.

  6. Re: Current username capitalization causes confusion

    You are correct, on forum replies it does not matter.

    The problem comes in when people on the forums search for me via other means, when they have to manually type in my username somewhere else.

    My "old" way of capitalizing my username (currently used on these forums) would often cause some problems when users mistook the lower case "Q" for a lower case "G". I now go by "IQAndreas" online...
  8. Re: Screen frequently freezes when laptop lid is closed

    I'm happy to say that this problem was fixed in Ubuntu 12.10, rendering this thread obsolete. I have gone months without a single "screen freeze".

  12. Screen frequently freezes when laptop lid is closed

    About once or twice a day I open my laptop lid to find the screen "frozen" and unresponsive. I'm not sure where the cause of this issue is, and I would like your help to guide me to find the root of...
  13. Re: Gnome/XORG freezes when closing the laptop lid

    I found a solution! (sort of)
    EDIT: Nope, solution didn't work. Eventually I got another screen lockup, and have gotten several more since.

  21. Re: Gnome/XORG freezes when closing the laptop lid

    Great news is the computer has not locked up once since the update to Ubuntu 11.10, so whatever was causing the problem was fixed or no longer exists in the new release.
