I recently installed ubuntu 12.04 alongside W7 on my wife's old Dell laptop. This sits next to our TV, and we primarily use it for catching up TV programmes. Flash seems to be installed correctly,...

Thanks for the help. When I run

Code:

I'm running 64-bit Lucid on a Dell Inspiron laptop, and I have an LG monitor sitting next to it. I'd like to have a dual set-up, and it seems from reading the forums that twinview is what I need. ...

I've solved my own problem from #61: the LD_PRELOAD command needs to be preceded by sudo. This may help others. But is there any way round this (e.g. changing permissions for something) so that I...

I have the same problem as others (Logitech cam gives green flickering lines in Skype, though works in cheese). When I follow others' suggestions using the old medibuntu debs and the LD_PRELOAD...

I tried the gconf fix, and it doesn't quite do it for me. (I haven't tried the other two fixes yet.) The problem is this: although the buttons look the same as before and function as they should,...

No success for me.

I'm not sure that the slow uptake of the metric system in the UK is really due to suspicion of change and/or of Europe. People who were brought up with the Imperial system (i.e. people over about...

Update: I updated to Karmic, and still no joy. But then: I had a period of about a week when it all worked: every DVD I tried would mount with no problems. But that didn't last: some of my DVDs now...

Many thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately, no joy; it's just the same as before.

Please help!!!!

I'm still having this problem with my drive. Can anyone help?

@ForgivenByJC: thanks for your help. In fact the fdisk command you suggested did nothing, but I was able to get it working again by repeating the instructions from before.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using MSC.

I'm afraid I'm a novice/idiot, so I don't understand "boot to the Sansa loader". I also don't know what you mean by "Rockbox doesn't support USB" - it was...

OK, I've been happily using my e200 for a week, installed RockBox and put lots of music on it. But now it won't mount. I'm back where I was in #213. When I connect the device, it shows a picture...

Fantastic. Thanks. Sorry I ignored #211 because it looked like it was about photos. Job done.

I can't mount my e200. I'm running 64-bit Jaunty. I plug it in, the computer ignores it completely, and the sansa says connected very briefly and then settles on disconnected. When I do "sudo...

I'm having similar trouble to MichaelDance, although less serious - some of my DVDs fail to mount, but not all. And sometimes if I eject and then close again, they'll mount. I'm running 64-bit...
