Enav started this thread, what, two years ago? Still works today. I just installed 10.10 Mav Meerkat 64-bit on a Dell XPS 8100 with a nVidia GeForce GT 220. Enav's how-to worked perfectly for me....

Just did the upgrade. Mouse works, but keyboard doesn't. Can't even log in, so I have no idea what else may not be working.

Based on my last upgrade (9.10) in which I had multiple problems, this...

Thudon, you get the "You're My Everything!" award for today! Your solution worked perfectly for me! Not only did you solve my Firefox problem, you also solved my Thunderbird problem. You ROCK!
...

I'm also having the exact, same problem. And I find it interesting that I'm also using an AMD64 quad-core processor. I even have tried the exact, same solution as you (re-install Ubuntu, install...

If you get it to work, please post the results of how on this site. Not to be a naysayer, but I think you'll find it will be a battle. The screens on laptops do not have the hardware to accept...

No worries! Like I said, just wait. Someone with a clue will come along and provide the right answer!

Okay, I'm an idiot. I didn't read your message carefully enough. I completely missed the "from outside, I can get in instantaneously". Plus, as a quick test, I timed my own SSH logins between a...

Based on the "fdisk -l" output, if you want to access your Win7 files *for just one Ubuntu session* (meaning from the time you turn it on til you turn it off), then use the following commands in the...

Just so you understand, SSH is a secure protocol that requires authentication. It requires that a certain amount of back-&-forth occur when first setting up the connection. And a lot of it occurs...

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type the following:

sudo fdisk -l
Then copy and paste the results back to here.

You're quite welcome, Tourdog! I hope I was able to help.

I'm with you on the startup / shutdown. I have an 8 year old Gateway P4 (single core) that is also roughly 50 seconds from...

SOLVED: I found another post in the forums with the same issue and it pointed me towards a link (http://www.saifur-rahman.com/2008/12/restoring-default-ubuntu-panel/) that allowed me to resolve the...

Okay, grab a cup of coffee. Your questions will require some explanations:

To start, look at the results of your "fdisk -l". If I understand your set-up correctly, you have a dual-boot system...

I have an older Gateway P4 computer running Ubuntu 9.10. I had removed the nm-applet from the systray because I wanted the system to have a static IP. That was several months ago. Today,...

This also worked for my Compaq Presario C500 running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic). I also had the annoying popping sound, but after my speakers "powered down", they would begin spewing out all kinds of...

Just let me start by saying I don't need technical help. I'm looking for a discussion and comments.

I just finished a short "help me" thread on editing the grub.cfg file. The first reply I...

Okay. Thanks, Luis.

I'm trying to edit the grub.cfg file in /boot/grub/. I'm using the command:


sudo gedit grub.cfg

while in the appropriate directory. I removed the lines for the last two editions of Ubuntu,...

Unless you have something that you really want to work that you can't get to work under 9.04, I'd say follow raymondhenson's advice. I've discovered that my USB webcam (an olllllllld Intel) is now...

I'll second the8thstar's experience. The upgrade was not quite a disaster, but it did leave me with some problems I couldn't figure out. Perhaps they were solvable with enough work, but I don't...

So much for one, big, happy Linux family. Come on, mondo1287, we'll go start our own thread.

Okay, being a newbie, I'm not familiar with alsamixer. Do you just type "alsamixer" in the terminal window? If so, I got the following error:

And I have Pulseaudio installed (I looked in...

Ah, the plot thickens. I ran "aplay -l" and got:

Hmmm.

I just ran a "lspci" command and the audio card was listed.

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL Memory Controller Hub (rev 04)

This might be a bug. I had the exact, same problem. I was actually playing music while the upgrade was downloading. I upgraded to karmic less than an hour ago, and now I have no sound. When I...
