Mate, I've given up on Ubuntu these days and moved over pure Debian.

But for the life of me could I get my printer working?

When using Ubuntu in the past I used a much older more complicated...

It's 9.04 all over again for me.

Frequent inexplicable hard lock ups, regardless of which application I'm running.

In fact the system just locked up 4 times in a row.

Invariably, the only...

I've noticed the same mostly when viewing Flash intensive sites, latest FF and official Flash plugin using Kubuntu 9:10.

Many might say that Flash itself is the problem.

However I have no...

The Kernel Backports PPA repo mentioned in my previous post, (just a couple of posts earlier), also has nvidia drivers.

With both the kernel and nvidia drivers I no longer have a freezing problem,...

I've finally found some success with my freezes by adding this Kernel Backports repo from the PPAs which provides you guessed it "backports" from the Karmic release.

It may not be the solution for...

Hi folks,

I've given up on a resolution to this.

Yet another lockup today, low and behold it corresponded once again with the availability and notification of updates.

No bloody updates to...

Hi folks, here is an update from my last post found here.

I can now state, that update notifications via the system tray are a cause of system lockups for me, (without fail).

I cannot say that...

I've been observing my lock ups to see if there are any consistencies / patterns that may provide some insight to the cause.

At least on my system, that is.

One 'action' that consistently locks...

Hi folks, I've browsed this thread from start to finish, and while I've found a some useful tips that have helped minimise the lockups on my system they still occur.

I've added a comment to the...

Thanks for the tips folks, this has been driving me crazy also.

Cheers.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I have since migrated across to Kubuntu for the first time as a fresh install.

Despite a few teething problems, that is me getting used to the different DE...

Personally I go for the best of both worlds.

Whenever I install Linux, I always set up separate /boot, /, /swap and /home partitions.

That way should I ever choose to do a fresh install, all my...

It is possible to install some virii under wine. However you would have to do so manually.

Why? Well I'm glad you asked, and the short answer is that all the usual avenues of infection available...

You could also look at Savage 2, it has a native Linux client and is free to play.

In addition to that you can 'pay' for an upgrade to a prime account, if you so choose.

Bugger, that blows my theory to hell then.

Can I take it then, that the left ctrl key does not play the game then?

Are you running Compiz or Compiz/Fusion perchance?

I experienced similar problems with WoW, not to mention that I was unable to split stacks and so forth.

As such I went out on a limb and installed the Official Wine "Ubuntu" .deb from Wine HQ.
...

Fair enough.

However, given that I'm not psychic, and that it is otherwise impossible to determine age, employment status and other such particulars from reading forum posts, it was sound advice....

Chances are you have an unoccupied AGP slot.

I'm betting you could pick up a video card for much less than $300.00, and install that.

Cheers.

I've played Planeshift quite extensively in the past and found it quite good considering it's level of development.

As some one mentioned earlier, the main focus of Planeshift is roleplay, so it's...

Agreed, it's not a total solution, unfortunately.

However using the Keytouch editor you may be able to configure the remaining keys.

The editor can be downloaded from the Keytouch site here,

If you would prefer not to have icons for mounted volumes automatically displayed on your desktop there is a useful tool called Ubuntu Tweak.

Here is the URL,

You could also have a look at Keytouch.

It's a program that ships with config files for numerous keyboards, and allows you to customise the settings to suit your keyboard.

Heres the URL,

While on the subject of Windows DLLs for Wine.

If you find that a newly installed app fails to run, attempt a launch via the command line.

Doing it this way will provide visual feedback, (text)...
