  1. [ubuntu] Re: Problems with Starling (star4) WiFi and battery

    If I had to guess, I would say it is your wireless driver and not your router - based on your symptoms and past Starling history.

    I didn't read the entire thread, but what wireless card is in the...

    [ubuntu] Re: Star1 Battery Bug

    I figured they would just suggest to buy a new battery.

    I agree with what you said - it just isn't worth 1/3 of the price of a new netbook to have a new battery.

    Star1 Wireless Card

    Is the Starling Star1 wireless card an rtl8187, or an 8187b, or something else?

    Is there a terminal command to run to see what card is installed?

    I'm surprised System 76 hasn't said to contact them about this (if it is under warranty).

    I'm assuming this is a video you have viewed successfully in VLC before?

    Have you tried to view it in other movie players successfully?

    Have you installed any other software recently?

    Yeah, sometimes updates might fix little glitches.

    You're welcome.

    I don't think it is a hardware issue with your laptop.

    You might want to run some available updates on your Ubuntu to see if a software update fixes the problem. Do the...
