Played EVE for a while but that was before I had a system76 laptop... and it was ATI I think.

Maybe you'd have better chance of a useful reply by asking in the gaming part of these forums if there...

Thought i'd post this since it might be useful to someone else.

My brother MFC 8690-DW was previously scanning just fine over the network on my ubuntu host, but was not functioning anymore (on an...

I think Verizon hijacks NX domain replies to redirect you to their own servers. Try this: go to the website http://dkdasklfjdsalkdfajueailae.com in your browser. Yes, this is a random soup of...

WINE (though it is not an emulator) does not work on all software and may require some fiddling for other software.

But VMs just work: you can run windows in a VM (say, virtualbox) and 100% of...

Thanks a lot! Found the option in my TV, under "picture size"->"native".

When connecting my new Lemur Ultra via HDMI to my toshiba 55" TV, the display gets detected as a toshiba 72" TV, and the top, bottom and sides of the image are not displayed.

I can only get the...

Ok, thanks. Then I guess the question goes to other users: has anyone had luck doing hibernate on the lemur ultra? If so, I might give it a try.

Actually according to the system monitor application, I have 14.9 GiB Swap vs 15.6 GiB RAM, so I may have to resize some partitions to be able to hibernate. But i'd like to know if others have had...

Personally, I backup to an encrypted external drive... but the drive is a little case connected by usb with 2 hard disks in raid1, so it is quite unlikely that both get corrupted at the same time.
...

Just to follow up on this: in the end I went for encrypted home+swap, so I did not have to reinstall.

In any case, the hibernate option is disabled (as it is now by default in ubuntu). I tried...

I've also had a new lemur for a couple weeks (arrived much faster than expected). The screen is really good, nice and bright and with a wide viewing angle, and it boots real fast. I have not made up...

Thanks, that's what I was hoping for.



Yeah, I used the alternate installer to set up my previous laptop with lvm and full disk encryption, but since I am buying a pre-installed ubuntu I will...

Thanks. I have full disk encryption on my current laptop, but I'm happy to go with home+swap encryption if that is better supported and easy to do.

I have just ordered a new Lemur Ultra. From what I have read so far, it seems it comes with neither full disk encryption nor home directory encryption out of the box. Since some level of encryption...

Same situation here on upgrade from 10.04 lucid to 10.10 maverick.

Changing "prompt=lts" to "prompt=normal" in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades solved the problem.

washakie, I have not been having any random crashes on mine, but I am running a 32-bit pae kernel, so that may make the difference.

uname -a says:

Linux 2.6.31-20-generic-pae #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon...

Just a quick self-reply to say that the karmic upgrade fixed my graphics issues. I reverted the changes I have made (discussed in the previous post) before upgrading. I am now using compiz with a few...

I have installed a karmic desktop i386 iso in virtualbox 3, with no problems.

Hi,

what do you mean "seems fine now"? Any idea what you might have done to fix it?

For me compiz works but it is very slow. The compiz benchmark tool shows <30 fps most of the time. Even...

I'm starting to really like eclipse, now that I am using the up-to-date version 3.5 from the eclipse site rather than the years-old package from the ubuntu repos.

I use eclipse+pydev for python...

The version of eclipse in the ubuntu package manager is 3.2. It is several years old, and is much more buggy than the current version 3.5. I was using it myself until a short while ago.

You can...

I was not able to boot the 64 bit version. Just use the 32-bit version instead.

Then just install the linux-server package and you will be using all 4 GB of RAM anyways, so no big problem (the...

I have not tried the HDMI port yet.. I'll try to do that in the next couple days, since my external monitor has an HDMI input. (EDIT: I never ended up trying that because I don't have an HDMI...

You will be able to connect to wireless under linux without much trouble, I think. But if you need some kind of domain authentication I don't know, you may be able to do it under linux, depends on...

About this issue... I installed the server kernel and now I can see the full 4GB of RAM (instead of just 3), and everything else is still working fine.

Just install package linux-server (sudo...
