Apologies for the late reply; life interfered.

I guess where I am a bit frustrated is that according to all I've read, my adapter worked out of the box in Jaunty, so it irritates me that when the...

I installed Karmic on the PC, using Wubi, for testing a bit more. It can still see my network, but not connect. I tried installing the drivers from my CD via ndiswrapper, but it doesn't seem to make...

I have a Belkin F5D8053 USB wireless adapter on my desktop computer. I'm typing from Windows XP right now, where the USB adapter works great. When I'm using the Karmic Koala liveCD the Belkin adapter...

It helped a lot, thanks! :)

The official installation links take me to wubi 8.10, which only works with Ubuntu 8.10. Ubuntu 8.10 has performance issues with my wifi adapter, and as a result I lack certain features, such as an...

While I appreciate the quick reply, I have already stated that I do not have any optical drives on this laptop. In plain English that means I have no CD drive. And I like wubi because I like...

I sort of messed up one of my laptops... I had Ubuntu 8.04 on it, through wubi (laptop has no optical drives at all), and upgraded to 8.10 when it came out. Unfortunately, 8.10 does not work at all...

While searching for a solution for this problem, I have discovered that the laptop has several hardware problems, a couple of which cannot be fixed without spending a lot of money. Since the laptop...

I finally got around to trying to install the driver for the built-in W200 wireless adapter on my Evo N410c. I never use the thing anymore, so it didn't seem like a priority until now.

Anyways.

Thank you for the quick replies! :)

I always lock all icons to panel after I have moved them, systray or close to it, and I don't have Wine installed. Is there anything else I can do?

This is driving me nuts. Every time I boot into Ubuntu (wubi install on the nc4010 in signature) the icons in my taskbar have been shuffled around. From the clock to the battery meter to the system...

Well, if I was cynical I would tell you to go back to Windows, where IM clients actually work, but that would be a low blow, now wouldn't it? ;)

Aha! That worked. Thanks :)

Wow, that was only two pages I had to dig through before I found a post that gave me a solution. Could you please talk open source politics someplace other than in this thread?

Just add that...

Anyone...? :(

I have this exact same problem!

Additional odd point: This laptop is the one that dual boots with XP and Ubuntu. When I use Pidgin in XP, I can log in to Yahoo just fine. So I'm looking at other...

Pidgin has Yahoo issues in Ubuntu, but not under Windows XP. Makes me wonder if it is Pidgin, or if it is something else...? :(

I tried playing King's Quest last night. I really liked it. Great sense of humor, loved the game play, and so on. :)

However, I messed up. I tried remapping keys so I could use w-a-s-d instead of...

I just need to know which ports to open in my router for this game. I was able to update the game and register an account when my laptop was connecting on my work network earlier today.

It really...

So far Wubi is working great, I'm posting from my new Ubuntu install now. Thanks again! :)

After looking at the Wubi web site, it does look like will be perfect. The screenshots in their FAQ also look exactly like the Install Inside Windows option from my 8.04 iso, and the FAQ states that...

I have a Compaq nc4010, without any optical drives at all. No floppy drive, no CD drive, nothing. I do not have access to the external CD drive.

I used Daemon Tools Lite to mount the Ubuntu 8.04...

I had completely forgotten I had this problem, then I found the thread when I was searching for other stuff today :)

Anyways.

I just wanted to post, in case others have the same problem I did,...

After being away from Ubuntu for nearly a year (I take long breaks), I decided to start using it again, and to re-familiarize myself with it.

I discovered that I have lost wireless connectivity on...

Thank you! I couldn't find anything when I searched the forums for my problem. I'll try the suggestions in that thread later today, when I am not on my way out... :)

Thanks again!
