You raise a few points, and your reply is by far the most obnoxious, so I'm going to reply to it first.
The issue with the open source is that there is an implicit assumption amongst some that free...
Reposting from the Networking forum, after an hour of no replies. Plus, my experience with wireless drivers is small, so I more or less fit the "Absolute Beginner" specification!
Hi all!
I'm...
Agreed, or just install a new version cleanly - this is probably the way I'd do it. OP may have reasons for sticking with 12.04, though, and so searching for a .deb, and then solving problems as and...

Ehhh. On the security front certainly, I think since we're all on Linux, it's something we can more or less forget about. There are no known ...
+1 to this. As evidenced by my use of Aurora/Earlybird, I'd rather be using the latest and greatest rather than the necessarily most stable software, but that's an entirely personal choice, and one...
The command to upgrade packages is:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
There are three parts: the first checks your list of installed software against...
It might be a font issue? In the restricted extras package, there's a bunch of fonts, you might want to consider installing that? And/or Google an open fonts package, if you're concerned about using...
If you google something like "ati drivers ubuntu", there's an Ubuntu Wiki page, detailing exactly how to install the drivers, but also how to enable hardware acceleration. Rather than trying to...
Just wanted to +1 on investigating graphics card issues, but can't be of any more help, I'm afraid. I know nVidia are notorious for their general disdain/awkwardness with regards to the open source...
Hi all!
I'm trying to get a wireless USB adapter working. The output of "lsusb" is as follows:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001...
The plot thickens! The ******* installer works, but the boatloader STILL fails to pull the files from the drive.
I'm on PartedMagic, the installer I have is a CLI "alternate" image - no live session option. PartedMagic responds with the following output when the 'smartctl' command is run:
smartctl 6.0...
Just realised - the GParted error is referring to the PartedMagic USB (made with dd). So I'm officially not getting any bugs/error messages for the drive (/dev/sda) that's got the OS installed on it...
fdisk output, as promised:
root@partedmagic:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes

Hi all!
I'm reposting since the General Help forum hasn't helped.
To summarise:
I'm getting this annoying error through GParted in PartedMagic (I booted into PartedMagic after the disk fails...
Nothing. :( Also ran a disk check using the utilities in PartedMagic, it came back clean.
I've just thrown the dice and gone for the Internal Secure-Erase option in PartedMagic's "Erase Disk" program.
44 mins till completion, apparently it could brick it if it hits a firmware bug - so...
It's the /dev/sda which (according to the fdisk -l output) looks like the HDD to me (I certainly don't have an 80GB USB stick!).
That's the thing, the error with GParted occurs when I go to...
Just in case it's relevant - I also used the PartedMagic "Disk Erase" tool to "External( Erase MBR ): Zap (destroy) MBR and GPT data structures. That was before running the dd thing, which was before...
BIOS, AFAIK. The computer's from around 2006/7 - which is too old for the likelihood of it being UEFI to be high, right?
And in any case - that wouldn't explain the GParted bug, would it?
Also...
One of the things that I found confusing about this when I was new to Linux and the command line was how to "change" the option without a cursor to move around. It's tab key, btw. :D

I find Dropbox is really handy for this kind of thing. :D Using a couple of sym-links to automatically back things up also means you can forget (more or less) about backing up manually:

I find the duinsoft script works really well for me - though there's a little more messing about getting it working (you can't just add the ppa).
If you google "java ubuntu" there's an Ubuntu...
What GUI are you using? I'm used to Kubuntu, and in that it was just a case of manually opening Phonon (the sound manager) and muting one of the outputs first. Is it a USB headphones or one of the...
