Please ignore, after some further investigation I worked out that this isn't a wifi problem - I can't seem to delete the thread

Hi, I need to get a new laptop (from the UK) that's of a gaming spec and I ideally want to make sure I can get it dual-booting with Ubuntu. I'm well behind on hardware so I was wondering if there...

I've got an Ubuntu 12.04 server that I'm looking at and I couldn't connect to a certain port on it. Suspecting it was a firewall issue I SSHed on and forwarded the ports from my local machine, so it...

I've also just started getting this problem, I think it was after an update, but I don't recall it being a WINE update. Sometimes it works ok, but sometimes it doesn't. I've tried turning off and on...

Hi, I'm trying to get Steam running on my 64-bit 12.10 install, but I'm hitting some problems with dependencies.

It's wanting libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 but this depends on libdrm-intel1:i386...

Can I get the status bar back on Nautilus by poking around in a config file, somewhere, or is it completely removed and I need to revert back to an older version in the package manager? I've looked...

I had this issue before upgrading to 12.10. Enabling the compiz legacy fullscreen support and/or disabling the WINE config setting to Allow The Window Manager To Control The windows fixed it. ...

I had a few mins to look at this more closely and in there (I now understand/get the impression the status file seems to be a system created one, rather than a supplied one) was a Skype section for...

Hi folks, ran my upgrade which did pop up a couple of errors (unfortunately, until I get a usable UI, I can't get to the record of them right now) and I now boot to a empty desktop with only my...

Yup, this is my current problem - putting the reverting to Unity aside, I want to get my system back to the state it was in with Gnome 3: I know I could individually install all the packages but...

Thanks - I understand (or, at least, I think I do - please correct me if I'm wrong) what those commands are doing (a full reset of the software sources, then a reinstall of the vanilla package list),...

Small steps:-
To start off with, I just want to be able to restore the packages that were removed as part of my attempt to revert to Unity. This list is sitting in my log, as I mentioned, but is...

I will start off by saying I WAS STUPID - I did this during my work lunchtime so I was under time constraints and so didn't spend as much time and care as I should have done :)

I was running 11.10...

Hi folks, very quick question: I asked this on the LIRC mailing list, but it seems to be either not working or inactive at the moment, but I figured someone on here would know - this is one of the...

Hi, I've got a MythTV box I've set up as a backend server, I've also put MediaTomb on it and these are working fine and serving up files on my Android tablet. However, trying to access the uPnP...

Hi, I've got a MythBuntu server that I've set MediaTomb on with some shared media items. The uPnP seems to be working ok on this as I can access the vids and music using uPnPPlay on my Android...

I've got an 11.10 machine (upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 when Gnome 3 was installed, if that makes any difference) running Gnome 3 and I thought I'd give KDE and LXDE a bash. I've successfully...

Just updates WoW and have a _really_ weird problem. The mouse seems to be inverted on the screen's Y-Axis and the pointer is upside-down - as I move the mouse down it moves the pointer up. The...

Looks like this thread can be marked as solved then?

That's fair enough, I appreciate you're busy. On the other side, it's something that HP do with their hardware, rather than a proprietary HP driver, so it is HP specific (certainly, I've only seen...

We may have cause to rejoice as I think an update may have fixed this:-

Today, I was there with my headphones ohn and had run my speaker-mute script and then wanted to play something out loud, so...

Hi, I was just wondering if I could get a "yes" or "no" answer, please? If it's a "no" the fair enough, that's up to you as admins, but I'm having to backtrack through posts to see if an answer is...

I'm sure the solution to the solution to the problem is in these lines as it's something HP have done and searching for solutions reveals this roblem, pretty much, only occurring on HP machines. ...

I had this and just found a solution.

Just to make sure you've got a newer version of WINE, add the PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
then run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get...
