Hey, thanks for the thorough response. I'll take everything you have said into account. Good suggestions!

Thank you guys for the quick responses. I've decided to wait to do a fresh install of the new Ubuntu 22.04 LTS when it becomes available.

Maybe I misunderstood it and it was long ago anyway. I remember trying to open a program and getting a message about needing to update the system. And of course I cannot do that since there's no...

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me with this. I need to update the system because a couple of programs are not working properly. I've been looking for a solution online for months to no avail. Is...

Hi All,

I do most of my work using Latex. By mistake I deleted all the tex files from a particular subdirectory I was working on. I deleted them using the rm command. Is there any way I can...

I installed Emacs 24.1 from source and compiled in the directory /usr/local/src. But after that I got Emacs 24.2 from ppa:cassou. Now I have two versions of Emacs and I want to get rid of the older...

Last week, I installed Netflix desktop on my laptop. Sometimes it works just fine (~65 % of time), but there are instances in which the computer freezes completely and I have to force it to shut...

The VPI/VCI values were correct. The problem must be somewhere else. Of course I can contact Technical Support but they don't know very much about Ubuntu. I don't even know what I'm looking for.

Hey dandnsmith,

Thanks a lot for the tip. I've just found the VPI/VCI values for AT&T. I'll try them this afternoon when I get back home.

Hi All,

My computer is running on Ubuntu 12.04. Last year, I got AT&T U-verse Internet connection and it worked right away without any difficulties.

I stopped using it for a few months and...

Thanks a lot for your help. I tried to update drivers and reinstall Cheese. But there were some errors in the configuration files. So out of frustration I decided to make a fresh install of Ubuntu...

It was pre-installed when I bought the laptop. As I said before I used the webcam long ago and it worked fine. Stopped using it and forgot about it. I upgraded the system at least once since then.

I cannot click on Preferences because it's not activated.

Thanks for replying to my post. My laptop is a Pangolin Performance pan7 running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. The output of 'lshw' is


physical id: 4

The built-in webcam is not working with Cheese. I get the message 'No device found'. Last time I used it, more than 2 years ago, it worked just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

That could be the reason. The only thing I did long ago was to update the system and the 2.6.35 kernel got installed. I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 but the process aborted with an error message.

Most of the time when I try to install new software I get some kind of error message. I was trying to install from source gtypist, PARI-GP, and PhotoRec. But also when I use Synaptic and even when I...

You're right. I think the time to upgrade has arrived. I'll do so within the next few days. Thanks.

Update is working. The problem is upgrade now. When I run "sudo apt-get upgrade" I get this error message

Yes, Ubuntu 10.04.

On my laptop I can open Firefox and the terminal from the panel but the terminal show only an opaque box (I'm using yellow background and black font) and it doesn't accept any text I try to enter....

Thanks! :) I did the update and then I tried to upgrade using 'sudo apt-get upgrade" but after compiling for a few minutes I get this message at the end:

I did as you told me and at the end I get this:
