I gave up and swapped the NIC for the card from a Windows machine. That card is working fine (and the Netgear card I had a problem with in Ubuntu is working fine in Windows). So I guess the...

I checked the settings on another Ubuntu system using the same cable, port, and router. The settings are pretty much the same, except that it uses 1000baseT/Full duplex, and the port type is mii. I...

I tried all the other combos of speed, duplex, and port, but didn't find one that worked.

Thanks guys, that helped. The 'Press enter to close. /read' option didn't work (the windows didn't stay open) but feeding the output to gedit did.

I see the error message I get is this:

I have this script I got from an installation of an app called MapTool. It is set to executable and runs fine when I have a terminal open and type ./MaptTool.sh. The problem is that when I double...

I had a similar problem booting from a LiveUSB and the USB losing power on my Sony Vaio. It ended up being a combination of things:

Hi all, I just wanted to share how I got my Sony Vaio ultrabook up and running on Ubuntu 12.10. There isn't anything new here, but I wanted to put it all in one place so people can see it works and...
