I have asked this question on the hardware forum but had no response. So now I try here.

I just installed 12.04 on my wife's computer. Everything works well, but I can't seem to be able to find a printer driver for her Fuji Xerox CP205 colour laser printer. I have been to their website,...

Haven't had the chance to play around with the xf86 module, but I just discovered that the wireless option doesn't work with Linux either (at least not with my set-up). My normal bluetooth dongle...

I use a VMware installation under Lucid to run Win7. I have to use Photoshop which is what the Intuos5 gets used with.
In native Lucid I can get Intuos to function like a mouse, but why would I. I...

Thanks for the help. It worked a treat.

Silly question:
does this method apply to Lucid 10.04 with all the up-to-date patches too?

My login screen didn't show any login options, so that option was not available.
For some obscure reason ccsm was not available???
So I uninstalled unity via synaptic ................. and was...

I made the big mistake of installing the preview version of the new Unity desktop that will be part of 11.04.
I now have a computer that runs like a dog and it is near impossible to do anything. I...

Update:
For some reason when the system did its kernel update is deleted the "Indicator Applet" that has the volume control, enigmail and bluetooth icons. I did a reinstall of the applet and its...

Hi Lisati,
I didn't know that your lot is as paranoid as our government :)

I run Lucid with Firefox, Chromium and Opera. No problems opening the site.
Some ISPs (like here in Australia) are running black list filters. There is (however remote) the possibility that this...

I did the latest patch/update to lucid this morning and it would appear that my Volume control has gone missing from the task bar. There doesn't seem to be a volume control in...

I need it to run Quickbooks Premier and Wine struggles with any version Quickbooks, leave alone Premier. ;)

Will give it a go. Thanks. :)

I just had a look on the Virtualbox site and thus far there is no listing for a Lucid specific release.
Can I use the Karmic release or is this going to cause problems?

I don't want to use the...

My situation here was that I had ******* on one disk and Ubuntu on another. Because ******* is a must for me (accounting program only available in Win format) I had that disk as disk #1. I installed...

Thanks for that. I am so used to keyboard commands that I can do things much faster that way. Old habits and all that gaff.
Cheers

Addendum:
Shift-Ctrl-C and Shift-Ctrl-V only work in the...

???? What is "nmbd" ???

For some reason since 9.10 CTRL-V doesn't seem to work in my terminal. Used to work just fine, but now I have to Rightclick Paste any commands.
I cut my teeth on commandline inputs and this is a bit...

Same thing had happened to me some installs ago.
Odds are that your boot sequence is out in the bios. If you have 2 disks there is a chance that grub is on the second disk in the boot sequence....

Thanks for that I had started reading from the start and gave up somewhere aound page 50. Should have persisted :)
Does anyone have any idea why they would change a nice obvious command like "samba...

Anyone got any ideas where to check and...
