So I'm not a total noob at ubuntu, but this feels like a noob question. I recently installed 12.10 on my desktop and I can't run minecraft anymore, it's just a black screen. I assume this is a video...

I have a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H. I'm wondering if I could flash the BIOS and get it working, but I have never flashed a BIOS before and I'm not even sure I could do it without a working keyboard. I...

I think I got the windows cloned to the 500GB HDD, but I can't do a fresh install of ubuntu on the 320GB HDD because it won't boot from CD. I couldn't get into BIOS after changing the settings...

ok, I managed to enable SMART in the bios and while I was at it I set all instances of SATA using IDE to AHCI. Not sure if I should because I haven't been able to get back into the BIOS or boot from...

I had windows 7 and ubuntu 11.0 dual booted on a 320GB hdd and ran out of room. I pulled a 2TB hdd from an older computer (Not that old, I built it in Feb of 2010) and cloned the 320GB drive to the...

When I log in my computer pops up a dialog that tells me that the power manager is still running. I have to choose "Log Out Anyway" to log in, if I hit cancel the screen goes black. This started just...

Mouse gestures would just cause my fidgeting to mess me up all day.

The new feature on the right hand side of the windows will be a big flashing text that says "THIS IS THE RIGHT SIDE!". It will...

I think I am having the same issue. A clicking in my headphones, usually only on one side, every second or so. I can get some relief by turning down the volume on that side through ossmix, which is...

Ok, I found some clues. I'm going to check the fstab and see what I can do there. If that doesn't work I have read that I can go into the BIOS and disable floppy support and sometimes that helps. I...

I have a PSP that I hacked to run an SNES emulator. But when I put the memory stick into my computers card reader, I have to mount it using the mount command because it doesn't automatically mount...

keep backups and reformat the memory stick using the PSP reformat option under system information when it stops reading correctly. It sucks, but that's the only I have found that works.

i have the same problem. tried to mount as root with rw option, no luck. tried to change permissions, didn't work because it always says it's a read only device.

I have the same issue. On day 2 of using it, on linux mint 8, which I think is ubuntu 9.10. Mounts as read only even if I use the mount command with the rw option or open nautilus as root. Can't...

It's for my university's wireless network. Their IT webpage specifically states that linux is not supported, and if it weren't for the math department being nicer about it, I wouldn't have any clue...

I couldn't get wireless to work when it needed WPA2 encryption. I found some suggestions that I delete the login.keyring file, I did that. It didn't fix the network manager. It just made it not work...

That depends. Are you in Arkansas, Alabama, or any other state that allows you to chain her to the oven?

It depends on your needs. I use my computer to run my TV. But the scripts needed to make it turn on the TV display are only run on start up, I can't see the login screen to log in, so I have to use...

I have the opposite problem. I am using Hardy, and cheese won't recognize my webcam. I tried to install from source, but it told me to get about 20 packages, each of which also had to be installed...

The fn key does not appear as a modifier key like the control, shift, or alt keys. The keyboard handles the fn key functions. Therefore I do not know how to assign fn to a function in ubuntu, I don't...

will that fix the automatic login problem? If he set it to automatic, he shouldn't need to enter a password on the login, so the password shouldn't be incorrect and shouldn't need to be changed.

I just downgraded to Hardy because it's the only way I can get the proprietary ATI graphics driver to work on my computer. However I have discovered that going System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts...

I set up automatic login using the system > admin > login screen instructions but the computer only does it part of the time, and waits for me login the rest of the time. This is bad because I use...

It all works now, used the instructions found in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1327437, set up a shell script and put it into the startup applications list.

Thank you very much!

It did not work. Thank you though.

Ok, i see my disconnected s-video in xrandr, what command do I need to make it work? Tried looking in the man pages, but I'm not good at understanding them...
