Hi there,

If I don't use my Ubuntu 14.10 PC for even a short period of time, or suspend, it seems that the USB ports get powered down. Both the mouse and the keyboard stop working and have all...

Ok, so I'm banging my head on the wall with this one again (this time with TweetAdder4). The culprit seems to be TweetAdder not finding libwebkit and libgtkhtml as the first output in the console...

Ironically, I found I got much better results with the Windows version in wine, than with the Linux version :-|

Hi there. I'm trying to write an image file to my sd card using dd. The trouble is that any time I try to use dd to the card with sudo, or make a new file system on the card, it just sits there...

Hey folks,

I'm just trying to install the Linux version of tweetadder on Ubuntu 32 bit. Their readme says:


so I set the binary as executable and did:
sudo apt-get install libc-bin cups...

Processor: AMD Turion™ 64
ATI R485M, 224Mb shared memory
Graphics bus: PCI-E X16

Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my wifes Dell Inspiron 1501, which uses an R300 ATI graphics chip. Neither the Dash or HUD appear when pushing the appropriate key. When I try unity --reset & in the...

This is driving me natty! er Batty!

Dell 1501 + Kubuntu natty + maverick version of bcmwl-kernel-source installed.

I've unblacklisted bcm43xx in blacklist.conf. Dell_laptop and dell-wmi are...

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing, and I know of at least one other person who has experienced this.

I'm running Ubuntu Natty with FGLRX.

Thanks for sharing this.

It's great to know that there's still life in this project. Out of curiosity, how rapidly are they iterating new releases? Have they put any out since the original public...

Awesome!

Looking forward to trying this out. Doesn't seem to be a Natty package yet. How does the video look? What options do they give for saving? (Codecs, size etc)

Ok, I'm going more than a little nuts here...

Here's what's happening. I have one PC (morpheus) on which I've chosen to share a couple of folders in the home directory. The folders show the...

So, I'm wondering... is there still any useful testing that I can actually do, given that I don't have the Win 7 firmware, or access to Win 7 to update it?

Have you tried recording video with TalkAide? I've heard quite a few people complain that Skype video recording (on any platform) never really works consistently.

Hey, if we can get wildschweini's working then we can try using the same stack on mine to see if it's the software or hardware/BIOS!

So wildschweini, I want to replicate your system as closely as...

wildschweini's on an XT running 32 bit as well, right? If that's the case, I wonder if both of us could try booting a live cd / usb of Maverick and running a couple of tests to see if we get the same...

I get:

user@neo:~$ sudo evtest /dev/input/dell-wmi
Input driver version is 1.0.1 ...

Ok, got it installed and rebooted. sudo xxd -g1 /dev/input/dell-wmi still isn't giving me anything. :/

I didn't see any change in output at all when using the non-rafi version of dell-wmi. When I followed the instructions in the previous post, I get the following error:

...

I'm using an XT with bios A03 (yes, you read that right). Current bios on Dell seems to be A09. I'd love to update it, but I don't have windows and installing a BIOS under freedos seems... risky.
...

No output from perl dell_wmi_mon.pl here, either (when rotating screen).

Just for the record, I get the exact same results for ls -l /dev/input (same permissions) and for evtest /dev/input/dell-wmi.

@ayuthia ./xrotate.py works beautifully, even correctly rotating the...

OK, get ready for a data dump!

Firstly... progress! When I run ./magick-rotate from the CLI, it opens in my systray. :popcorn:

The rest of your suggestions in #1300 give the following data:

Thanks Ayuthia,

I tried copying the checkmagic32 binary into the magick-rotation folder and following all the instructions in INSTALL.txt after the bit about compiling. Still no joy.
...

checkmagic32 isn't appearing in the magick-rotate folder. I just tried to compile manually. Here's the error I'm getting:


user@neo:~/Apps/magick-rotation$ gcc -lX11 -lXrandr check.c -o...
