Hmm.. well, when it first did it after a reboot, I hit the wireless button, I guess disabling it, when I was trying to fix it. I hit it today, it started working again. So.. PEBKAC, but not really...

Bumping with the lspci output.

Yeah. it was working fine, I've ran Ubuntu since 9.04, and this problem has only happened once before.. then it went away with a few reboots.

My wireless card doesn't detect my networks, and if I...

Anyone know how to fix it? Anyone? It's annoying having my laptop overheat and shut down unless I turn it on it's back.

Stupid I broke CPU scaling.


I heard that powernowd was better than cpufreqd, and replaced it. Well, powernowd didn't even want to work correctly on this laptop, so I uninstalled it and went back...

Okay, here's the deal. I have Ubuntu 9.10 as the main OS on my lappy.

There's a game I want to play that works under XP, but no matter what I try, I cannot get to work on Ubuntu. Sooo..

How can...

I had this same issue. I have an Nvidia graphics card in my system, and when I first upgraded Jaunty to Karmic, every time I viewed a video on my system, the colours were inverted. The thing is, this...

Great tutorial here, however, you should mention for newbies that you also need the build-essential (and makedev?) package for compiling this.

But this will come in handy soon, as I have a few...

actually, that fixed my HP. There's something weird about 9.04 when it's first installed; it's almost Windows like. The X server crashed multiple times until I updated it. Since then she's running...

Okay, about a week ago, I upgraded a friend to Ubuntu. They have an Asus K50 laptop. Well, I couldn't get the wireless to work, so I installed the jaunty-backports-modules package. It worked like a...

it looks to me like it'd be fine. Besides, why would a company sell a no-OS system that couldn't run Linux? I mean, most people who order systems without an operating system are usually doing it just...

Okay, I need some help with a couple of things:

First of all, it's Lucent Winmodems. The next people on my upgrade list are on dial up still, and they have a Lucent modem in their system. Of...

Ha. I'm a guy (apparently by my name lol), and I just converted a woman and her husband to Ubuntu. She loves it. She hates Windows, and has told all of her friends about Ubuntu and that I set it up-...

Ah, I'm not from Brevard, I'm from North Eastern NC. Anybody from NENC on here?

Well, I gave in. I just installed Debian on that Thinkpad, with GNOME though. It ran fairly nice, until I messed up the modules trying to get the wireless card working. So now I'm reinstalling, since...

Ah yes..

So, is there a way I can make my Xubuntu system more efficent, or will I have to install Debian on that laptop and *really* tweak the interface, as I hate the default XFCE appearence?...

Okay, I have a Thinkpad 600E running Xubuntu with the following specs:

400MHz Pentium 2
128MB RAM
Integrated graphics
60GB 5,200 RPM Drive, ATA-3 (I think, that or ATA-4)

And an old Gateway...

Hmm.. I just installed 9.04 on a system with an Audigy, I think it's working..

Have you checked the ALSA settings and all? It could just be something simple.

I had a computer that would do that if two channels on the IDE controller were being accessed. Weird, eh?

Try something like a USB boot or something. Avoid the IDE channels.

Also, my server was...

Okay, I'm very happy with Ubuntu. I will say, this is a viable alternative to Windows, even for people who don't know computers. This is the house we built, and we built it bigger. It is superior to...
