I can't think of anything that would inherently be limiting you, but have you troubleshooted various hardware aspects? i.e. network port, cabling, NIC card

Can you download large files via other...

The file you download may still be an ISO even though the icon appears to be that of a RAR file. Upon installation, WinRAR can (and might by default) register itself as a program to open .iso files....

I'm going to assume that by "Doesn't work" means that the disc will not boot whatsoever, as in no menu comes up at all?

Are you sure the installation disc burned correctly? You may want to verify...

i guess my question, more specifically, is at what point in the installation do i point grub to its destination.... for all the times i've installed ubuntu i don't ever remember choosing that...

They're 64-bit processors

Hello, I currently have Vista and Ubuntu installed, with Vista's boot loader handling initial OS selection. If I select Ubuntu, it then kicks me over to GRUB...

My question is, if I want to...

Just so everyone is clear, tx2500 is the generic name for any tx25?? model. We could more clearly say "tx2500 series", but the idea is the same.

And here's my take on your situation: If (1) your...

Right now, the battery life is abysmal... This is due to the lack of CPU support in the current kernel. When Intrepid Ibex comes out in October, things should improve greatly; however, even with the...

That's strange, because I tried Fedora 9 and just like Ubuntu Hardy, I couldn't boot by default.

Has anyone seen the thread on AMD "Puma" Laptops and C-states?

It seems that 2.6.26 better supports the new chipsets. I compiled and booted the new kernel and immediately noticed a difference in...

Hello,

I was wonder if there are any good tips/tutorials for optimizing a headless Ubuntu Server \that serves as a VirtualBox virtual server.

I've turned off AppArmor as recommended in several...

Do you see actual CPU scaling support? I compiled a new 2.6.26 kernel and saw an immediate improvement, even on bootup... but still after loading powernow-k8, the cpu frequency monitor applet only...

Sorry, take a look at linux-restricted-modules-generic. I'm at 2.6.24.20.22, which should now be part of the standard repos... hardy-proposed contains 2.6.24.21.23. I'll update and report back what...

What the tutorial does to get wireless working, is enable hardy-proposed, which updated the driver to a newer less-broken one. It seems that those proposed updates have been pushed to the standard...

quick update:

After searching around some more, I decided to simple bring up the additional interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces then bind them all to br0 at once:

Things that you should be able to get working for sure (there may be others) are:

wireless

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a dedicated headless VirtualBox server, but need some help with the host networking configuration.

Is is possible to create multiple bridges that a single physical...

It works as well as any other VM software I'ev played with (Virtual PC, VMWare)... specifically I loved the VRDP feature... but I've only run it on a Windows host... mostly I was just limited by...

ahhh right your are... *shames self for overlooking simple things*

in any respect, "sudo apt-get install -f" resolved all the dependencies

i guess i'm a little confused as to why it didn't prompt me to install the dependencies as normal

Edit: and no... you can completely manager virtualbox via VBoxManage, a command-line utility

I'm trying to install VirtualBox 1.6.4 onto Ubuntu Server Hardy 8.04.1, but am running into a bit of difficulty with dependencies due to its expectation of X being installed. I've already installed...

I just want to reiterate that the notion that the "temperature problem" is fixed is a misnomer... We've really only got a workaround... truth is that the CPU doesn't scale and the fans blow at full...

If you watch the startup messages, you'll see that there is a problem with the temperatures being reported by the laptop and/or read by the OS. Therefore, Ubuntu thinks temps are too high and...
