Dragan_Saraginov that's for the suggestion on getting the BT working. I went ahead and executed the command below (copy and paste from your post):

You going to need to add drivers for that wireless card. There are a lot of links on how to do that. Just google it or search in this forum (I use the forum a lot).
Please post your network hardware...

Ok, I was successful in upgrading from 8GB or RAM to 16GB!!!;)

But, let me tell you. It was no picnic. To get to the RAM on the Z510, you practically have to dismantal the entire laptop.
Not just...

L_Bradley, did you have a question or just making a statement?
I just installed this same wifi USB adapter in my laptop (using the same instructions ...again) and it worked. It is dual band and...

So Jeremy31, are you saying you actually REPLACED you wifi/BT module in you laptop and it wouldn't recognize it?
Wow. Good to know. Because I was planning of ordering a "working" wifi/BT module and...

Jeremy31, I just looked what the F5 function key does on the Z510. The F5 "Refreshes the desktop or the currently active window". So, I guess, it's doing what the F5 key has always done. The F7 key...

Just wanted to post my experience with a new laptop I just purchased.

I heard a lot of good things about Lenovo so decided to take a chance and bought a Lenovo Z510. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 (I...

Just an FYI to the community.

I finally found a mini USB wireless dual band (2.4 & 5 GHz) that is working on my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit).
It wasn't to hard to setup.

Kurt18947,

Just an FYI. I purchased the DLink DWA-171 Dual Band USB adapter ($54). It worked like a champ!!
Just downloaded the driver, did a make install, and I was off and running. No...

Kurt18947, thanks for the reply.

I did some more research and I believe you are correct. No wonder these mini/nano wireless USB's are so cheap. Only supports 2.4GHz.

Again, thanks for the...

I went thru a few steps to get this far (well lots and lots of steps).

Here's my laptop setup:
Ubuntu 12.10 (64-Bit)
USB mini Dongle (RT5370)

I'm able to see the SSID's on the 2.4GHz spectrum...

thewump, please disregard the private message I send, you answered my question above.
Also, do you have the link where users discuss upgrading the SSD?
Many Many thanks for your quick replies. I...

Well, it looks like the Samsung 9 will support Ubuntu. From reading the thread, it also appears that memory can be upgraded to 16Gb. They perfect! But, has anyone upgraded the SSD from the initial...

This solved my problem. Just mapped the "hide all windows" from "d" to "ALT-D".

1)Version Of Ubuntu: 10.04
2)Laptop Maker: HP
3)Laptop Model: 4710s

It rocks!

Don't use the Ubuntu drivers. Used the downloaded AMD drivers.

Use the following link to get to the AMD downloads. I don't know why it's so hard to navigate the web site now. something changed, but I book marked the link:

I have the same graphics card (Raedon Mobility 4330) in my HP laptop. I got it to work. Using 8.04. Had to install the ATI drivers from the AMD web site.

I can't help you there. I don't know how to assist you with that error. Maybe someone else has a suggestion.

I connected my laptop via HDMI to Panasonic 42 inch. Looks good but no sound thru HDMI. No a show stopper and I was just testing only to see if the HDMI is enabled in ubuntu. Well, it is.

I didn't feel like hunting down the post so I just pasted my procedure below. Let me know if this helps. Also, you should always be able to get to a prompt during boot up. Just hit the ESC...

I think I experienced the same problem just yesterday(but with Hardy). But I think the procedure should be the same.

When you install the ATI drivers you have to do one more thing. You...

After several hours of install, de-install, and troubleshooting, I finally found the solution.

I can't take take credit for the solution, because I found it here at...

Success!!!!

Just so you know what I did to make it work. So originally I was running 8.04 but ATI driver was not being recognized. Not able to get full functionality out of my graphics driver. I...

I'm really hoping I get some much needed assistance here. I've been banging my head over this issue for a week. Ok here goes:

I just got a HP 4710s with a ATI Radeon Graphics card. I installed...
