I followed the steps on http://www.r-statistics.com/2011/11/edimax-ew-7811un-usb-wireless-connecting-to-a-network-on-ubuntu-11-10/, and now everything works fine.

Hello forum.

I had wireless working on XUbuntu 10.10 with the internal wireless card of my netbook (broadcom BCM4313 according to NetworkManager). After a while this stopped working due to what...

Hello there,

I am running Xubuntu 10.10 on an Ideapad S10-3. Everything is working fine, but the computer is quite warm. The output of sensors was

As a matter of facts my 'fix' didn't work, the system froze again. Now I reinstalled Kubuntu 10.04 and everything seems to be good again.
I did use the proprietary nvidia driver all the time, so my...

@Santiagozky: Unfortunately I cannot confirm this. I just had a freeze with the 2.6.32-22-generic-pae kernel from 10.04. This is really starting to annoy me, I find it hard to use the computer when...

Hello there,

I am using Kubuntu 10.10, but lately I wanted to use networkmanager without having Xorg running. I tried with nmcli, but "nmcli con" says


** (process:11521): WARNING **:...

:( My system just froze again, while I searched in ubuntuforums.org with rekonq. So a new installation does not seem to fix the problem... I'm sorry for the incorrect 'solution', I was just too...

srs5694, you have a good point there. It is a matter of taste where somebody wants to store the shared data, but I admit that I did not fully consider the UID problem. And your solution has the...

I had the same problem on my Dell Vostro 1720 (and didn't find this thread, because I thought it was KDE related). It appeared since I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. I seem to have fixed the problem...

When I "Create a New Collection" in Parley I would like to change the keyboard layout in the "Edit Languages" dialog, but the ComboBox is grayed out. Searching in the web I got the impression that...

The second command did not work, could you run


sudo lshw

without the -C? And, of course, post the output here. For improved readability you could put that output in CODE delimiters (Putting [...

After some more reboots I 'fixed' my problem by reinstalling Kubuntu 10.10. Everything seems to work now, although it's hard to test that. Xorg still uses a lot of cpu sometimes, but that might be...

I know, Xaifas, that you said you disabled IPv6, but I recommand you to recheck that. I had a problem with slow internet for a long time, and did not succeed in effectively turning off IPv6, as...

Sharing the /home partition between two distros won't work smoothly, but I don't think you need (want?) that. As oldfred said a seperate /data partition could be what you want. Having that you could...

One more thing that might be related: The cpu usage of Xorg occasionally jumps up to over 25% and goes down shortly after. Unfortunaly I did not check the cpu usage directly before a freeze so far.

I don't have the same problem with 10.10, but could this be due to IPv6? I had that problem a couple of times. You could try that in firefox: Type about:config, agree to be carefull and change...

Kubuntu 10.04 worked fine on my Dell Vostro 1720, but since I upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 I get random freezes in KDE. They don't occure very often, but when they happen there is nothing I can do but...

Does your screen turn white when you enter these commands (if so, after which one?) or immediately after starting the terminal? I didn't quite understand your explanation.
Also: Is the internet...

I thought about putting this in a script too, but that's not so easy... the command needs to be executed as root (or with sudo), so either you have to put it in a script executed by root, which is...

Hi satimis,

the command to set PS1 was ment to be entered as is. \h is replaced by the hostname automaticly.
But that is only a temporary solution anyway, your shell is /bin/sh, that's the...

If you know what driver you need for internet you can get it from packages.ubuntu.com . You can download .deb files from there and install them with

sudo dpkg -i files.deb

I think the second one should have been:

sudo apt-get upgrade

You should run the command in the console, but not as root, but as the user whose prompt is wrong. It sets the variable PS1, which determines what the prompt looks like.

I think it is more...

This is only a little better, but

sudo alsa force-reload

should be all you need to enter after a reboot. The other commands just remove/install packages, and I don't think rebooting changes...

Can you tell us which program actually uses the CPU? Also, are any other programs running? Firefox + XServer sometimes caused one (or both) of them to use up the CPU, but I don't know whether this...
