I've just had my broadband upgraded and now I need to use a vdsl modem. The new "super" router provided with the upgrade is unsatisfactory as a dhcp server. It only allows a maximum of 8 reserved IP...

As you requested I have the following md5sum results

Thank you for the link. I expected a solution which was something like that but I wasn't asking the right questions when I searched for it. Hopefully this thread will make it a bit easier for the...
Assume for the moment that I am running lubuntu 13.10 and I have no intention of upgrading it to a more recent version. Because support has been terminated, synaptic can no longer download repository...

This is not exclusively a linux / ubuntu question. I have PCs in my network running Lubuntu and Linux Mint and I also have Android smartphones and tablets and PCs running Windows XP or Windows 7. If...
Thanks to you both for your replies. From what you say and the lack of other comments, it seems that most people are happy with the 8 to 10 character passphrase and websites such as this

I have been running my wi-fi network on a WEP key for some time. I know it's considered to be very poor security but, so far, I haven't noticed any problems. Today I bought a new inexpensive Android...
I want to make a backup image of my ext3 root partition. I am confident that Clonezilla would do the job but there are so many configuration options that I find it a pain to use. Partimage would be...

I forgot about Dell. Initial impressions - definitely bigger and probably more expensive than what I had in mind.

Yes, I had noticed the size trend but I won't concede defeat easily. I am willing to think well outside the usual boxes - maybe a laptop or tablet with TV tuner attached. How would I...
The TV in my workroom has broken down and now I am wondering what sort of replacement I want to buy.
Basically there are 3 main things I would like to be able to do -
1. Watch Freeview channels....

Thanks for your reply.
I had never heard of that make of tuner before so I looked it up. It seems to be a very capable unit although it is a bit more expensive than I was hoping for....
Where I live in the UK the digital switchover will provide digital TV for the first time on 10th and 24th of October. Until now, apart from Satellite, only analogue was available and I didn't want...
Please excuse my lack of understanding. Normally these things follow a general pattern
1. Describe the problem, circumstances and symptoms.
2. Explain what causes the problem and why.
3....
Sorry about that. I did a reboot immediately after applying the fix and the speed test was poor but now it's fine. I just did another reboot to be sure - wired, usb wireless or internal wireless all...
Thank you for your helpful reply. I think you wanted to see the results.

I checked two of the dvd download sites and they had an md5sum file but I couldn't see the sum I...
I just downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and I would like to confirm that the file stored on my usb stick is a good copy but I can't find the relevant md5 hashes. I think I looked in all the obvious places but...

Definitely worth a look, although I have no big issues with Mint itself - yet.
In addition - lubuntu network problem resolved. It has done everything I have asked it to do so far...
Like I said - blindingly obvious. The layout looks like Windows XP. Why didn't I look there? Works fine. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

Thanks for the comments.
My big mistake - maybe. I should have looked at lubuntu sooner. It appears that the designers of lubuntu think rather like me. I have now made a usb stick...
