    [ubuntu] Re: HP Printer was working, now it is not.

    I have an Officejet 7600-E709n and I don't know how to enable the print queue in 10.04. Was trying to print a mailing envelope. Worked once, some time ago but I've forgotten it all (it took lots of...

    [ubuntu] Re: Need help installing System76 drivers!!

    I think you'll find everything you need here. This worked perfectly for me and my upgrade was also a clean install.

    I hope this helps.

    [ubuntu] Re: help wit managing money and bills!!

    "Homebank" is the one I use. While not nearly so powerful as Quicken (used that from Windows 3.1 until I quit Windows altogether), but it seems as though it might suit your needs, based on your...

    [all variants] Re: Just curious

    Sort of. Do you actually "run" the driver or just reboot for it to take effect?

    [SOLVED] Re: 10.04 install loses old /home files

    If you took the defaults then you probably would have lost your stuff. I always manually partition and tell it to mount the "/home" (though the installer doesn't recognize it as such) partition as...

    Don't know what was in the newer drivers but a reboot (due to a brief power outage) was successful (in doing what I've no idea).

    Therefore, thanks anyway.

    [all variants] Just curious

    I hope I'm not wasting space but Update Manager included new System76 drivers. Anybody know what these do? Reboot to enable or reload drivers to activate?

    Thanks in advance,

    Re: window7 vs ubuntu

    No kidding! I've been Windows free for long enough that I've never even sat down at a computer running either Vista or Windows7. Linux does everything I need and once I stumbled upon Ubuntu, I rid...

    [ubuntu] Re: Have the window buttons moved in 10.04?

    Thank you. That's probably the case. I am liking 10.04 though. It's the best yet (Ubuntu user since 7.04) IMO.

    Thanks again.

    [ubuntu] Re: Have the window buttons moved in 10.04?

    This is rather bizarre. I keep reading about this but mine did not move. Clean install with format (My /home resides on a separate partition).

    Needless to say, I'm a bit baffled but not...

  12. [ubuntu] Re: How is the ATI Mobility Radeon 4570 graphics support on 10.04?

    Interesting. Mine's configured similarly though with a smaller HDD. It's a race car!

    You are going to have quite a nice PC when you're done. Nice component choices. Well done.

    Regarding Ubuntu, I would recommend 64bit 9.04. I've been using 64 bit since 7.04 when I fled SuSE,...

    [ubuntu] Re: upgrade ubuntu 9.0.4 to 9.1.0 ?

    I'll go against the grain here and recommend that you stick with 9.04. 9.10 is only barely quicker and not enough to warrant suffering the problems you [probably] will likely encounter with 9.10 as,...

    [ubuntu] Re: 9.10 hanging

    Happens to me all the time though usually during a Firefox session. I think it's a problem with 9.10. I tried going back to 9.04 (which was perfect) but the install updated everything on my /home...

  22. [ubuntu] Re: is there a problem with 9.10 and having several HDs?

    This is my experience. Hopefully others will contribute theirs. Been with Ubuntu since 7.04 (SuSE before that) and this has been my first difficulty - always done a clean install.
