If you have your manufacturer's driver reinstall disc, DuckDuckGo the driver name and see if you can find a better driver. I have an old D610 laptop that the WiFi cuts out after a while(An hour) and...

I would suggest talking to the manufacturer for an upgrade to a better one, and explain to them your line of work. They should send you a better one, hopefully one that does not make that much...

Glad you're enjoying Ubuntu!

Hey, all. This was MY mistake and I know exactly what I did wrong, now I'm stuck with a broken 12.10.
My Dell XPS 8500 has a 1TB internal HDD.

Alright, bought a new XPS 8500, and Set up Win 8....

Maybe Opera isn't top notch any more. Try Konqueror (which actually doubles as a file manager)
or any other browser.

I did some researching, and you only have a generic Ethernet, so finding a generic driver for 10/100/1000 should be easy enough.

When in anger, complain.

I know what this is. It's that stupid 'secure boot' thing that all new PCs have. Ubuntu needs a cert to boot, and I bet it doesn't have one yet.

I remember when all you needed was a MS-DOS startup...

DOS, or Windows, label and mount partitions differently than Linux does. So different, that it takes a while to understand just how different they are. First difference is the label. Windows gives...

This works not only for customization, but as a debugger, too.

You can change all aspects of everything.

Please post as a sticky thread and then we can discuss.

The Ubuntu App Center is your best friend. All supported games are put there!
Some games, like Braid, are paid-for, and require linking a credit card. But, most games are free.

Welcome to the bitter rivalry of MS-DOS and UNIX. Ever since Windows 1.0, UNIX and DOS have been shooting each other with incompatibility, and PR Smackdowns.
This isn't just Linux, you see. It's...

I know in Fedora you can make a Service Pack with the apps you have.
In Ubuntu, you have to go to /usr/gnome/share/apps and copy 'em to a flash disk.

Nice computer!

Okay, first up. You're going to need a / partition, that is where it is mounted, the root directory. You also might want partitions for all the mount areas, do it from the Ubuntu...

I have a Dell D610, about 5 years old, too. It refused to upgrade to 12.04, so it stayed at 11.10.

Try upgrading to 11.10, then going to 12.04. If it doesn't work, stay with 11.10. If 11.10...

I get the same results.
It looks like it; that's weird.
I've never seen that before, usually links are only a line of code like
gedit ~/doclocation
and less than 1KB. I guess it is broken....

Go to the Ubuntu App Centre and download MyUnity. Don't be put off by the language in the description, the language in the program is English. You can change all parts of the font, color schemes, and...

Be careful how you name your partitions.
Windows "names" the drives with letters, and shouldn't be confused with actual labels.
Same with Linux. /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 are all partitions...

Hey, I have a HP A6257C Pavilion with a WG311V3 802.11b/g card, and a generic ethernet card.

NOTE: My networking hardware did not work with 12.04!

When I boot up my computer, everything is...

Is there another partition on the 750GB?

LOOK AT THE PICTURES FIRST
When one of my disks don't show up(i had this problem once) Try setting the pins on the actual drive, the 750-er(that means taking off the computer's cover, the HDD...

You probably shouldn't use it. What is the size of the SSD?
If it's something huge like 3TB you're obviously fine.
But /transfer? I haven't seen that before. Are you going to install another...
