Simple tip:

Use full paths, ie /usr/bin/wget instead of wget

Can save you a headache, or two.

I'd try using a DVD. I've seen weird things happen with USB dongles.

Ubuntu should definitely run on your hardware.

OP mentioned he is using the Software Center (USC). I assume he should have been prompted for a password?

apt-get would return:


E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13:...

Maybe jockey running in the background?


ps aux | grep "jockey"

Lol. Easy questions always get all the answers.

Also, just like sudodus said, use full paths. This is because you really don't know what the $PATH variable will be set to under a cron environment,...

A tip that might save you a couple hours:

Never assume cron knows what "php" is, use instead full names, like:


/usr/bin/phpJobs run under cron can behave in a different way than if run from...

You should make sure you are really willing to pay for a gaming laptop.

Gaming laptops have proven to not be the way to go. Instead of getting a gaming laptop you should consider getting a high...

Exactly, that's what I guess. Ndiswrapper has worked excellent for me in the past. All you need is the right drivers making sure that they match your architecture as well.

What error do you get exactly?

What is that supposed to mean? I'm guessing that, in order for flash to work, you need the flashplayer so file to be located under the opera plugins folder.

A password with six characters including numbers, letters and special characters should be pretty hard to break....

Oh, no, i don't think you could.

Making a .deb file out of it would still mean requiring the java runtime environment, so really, it wouldn't help.

Oh come on. There are quite a lot of experts around here willing to help you for free, so quit acting like you're so important to waste your time here.

And if that's the case, then just leave.

I see you marked this as solved. Is this solved really?

I haven't checked but have you tried installing the printer via cups? Most printers are supported by default, so no issues should arise.

As a coder, I understand that all the possibilities that I know of wouldn't be appropriate for the type of task that we perform, therefore I recommend trying to code as much as possible with one...

Does it not get detected?

Post the output of:


lsusb

ifconfig -a

Do a ls -l and post the output here.

Also, you might as well try the following:


./configure

Damnit! I was just about to buy one of these and decided to check for compatibility issues.

It definitely needs to run on Ubuntu since it's the OS that I use.

Sorry for not getting back to you... have you fixed this?

I had the same screen replaced for just $80. I ordered it from China and arrived 3 weeks later. Replaced screen and everything was fine.

I'm not sure, but you could use xrandr and one of the...

^^This is the command you should run.
