I am not one to suggest a person Read The Fine Manual but in this instance I think you would be best served by reading up on installing software under Linux.

A quick search of the internet reveals...

Good question. There must be some sort of rhyme or reason. It's certainly not alphabetic. Popularity would make sense.

Hopefully an Ubuntu guru will know the answer. Until then some studious...

I'm certainly no grub expert but something looks odd in the "Boot Info Summary" output by the "Boot Info Script".

Under "Drive/Partition Info" it shows /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 as having the boot...

Links or Lynx. Both are available in the repositories. Install either and run it from a console terminal. It's a trip! Blazing fast! Hang onto your seat though because you will get there before you...

I was going to suggest that. I would even let it run overnight.

Second thing I would check out would be any type of overheating problem. Could even be the thermal paste on the processor has dried...

What a great resource this thread is!

I found the "The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use" to be particularly helpful. Following the flow of the chapters step by step and trying...

Try the "Alternate Install" disk. Using the alternate install disk has worked for me before I ran into problems with the "Live" install disk and the graphical installer. Burn the disk at a slow burn...

I may have misunderstood your original post. If <lspci> is showing the above, wouldn't that indicate that the drivers are indeed installed?

I have an Acer Aspire One netbook and had problems booting from USB with a "Data Traveler" USB flash drive. Very frustrating until I tried a Corsair Voyager USB flash drive and everything worked...

I thought something like <modprobe> or <lsmod> from the terminal would list the currently loaded drivers.

This same problem happened to me on an Acer Aspire One D250 dual booting Windows 7 Starter and Ubuntu 10.04. Only I had not done anything with my Windows partitions. I had just installed the LXDE...

I had some troubles using a Kingston Data Traveler and booting live distros on my Acer Aspire One. After researching it I discovered that some usb drives do not work as well as others for booting...

I just used remastersys an hour ago to make an .iso image of my Ubuntu 10.10 install and then used Startup Disk Creator to make a bootable usb from the image and it worked like a charm. Remastersys...

I just tried remastersys for the first time. I wanted a live version of my Ubuntu install with the Broadcom wireless drivers included. After running remastersys I ran the Ubuntu startup disk creator...

Thanks Cariboo907, I'll try that. I am researching the file system now. One other odd thing I forgot to mention is that the Windows partitions show up and I can see the data on them. It is just the...

Acer Aspire One, Intel Atom N280, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, dual booting Windows 7 Starter and Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition. Recently I decided to install the LXDE desktop and try it out. Not liking that I...

Ditto that. Sounds like a hardware problem. Get any "beep" codes? First thing I would try is re-seating the memory modules or take one out and switch positions with the other then try booting. Throw...

That D:\ partition sure does look like a Windows "Restore" partition. Again, you could boot into Windows or boot a Live cd (usb) and actually look and see what is on the partition. Also, you could...

I have the same or a very similar Lexmark printer. I believe you will need to attach the printer with a cable (usb) in order to install. The installer will tell you when to plug it in.

Are you sure the D:\ partition has Ubuntu on it? Do the sizes of the C:\ and D:\ partitions add up to the total capacity of the hard drive? I mention this because the last time I checked Microsoft...

@Jay Car: banned for using a picture of my wife for your avatar!

Way cool. Nice fix tom.swartz07 ! Well done. =D>
(I feared we may be witness to a disaster in the making.):(

openSUSE is good but I was very pleasantly surprised when I installed Debian Lenny alongside Ubuntu 9.04 and W*****s 7 :)

Give Debian Lenny a try. It works very, very well. I installed it on a...

Did you see this on the Wicd site?
