Unfortunately no, I can't test it in any of my other computers. I do have one that will take both SATA and IDE but...there's no SATA cables in it and I don't happen to have any around.

Yeah, nothing seems good about it, something borked while it was on the shelf. I plugged the drive into a power supply I salvaged from an old computer and it spun up fine as far as I could tell, no...

Being dropped seemed, according to the SMART diagnostic and the fact that it worked fine, to not have had an effect on it other than corrupting the drive. Worth saying, since I wasn't clear on it...

I wasn't expecting them to, it was just out of general curiosity that I tried them. I don't have another system (that's not physically part of my laptop) to test it on to see if it's my hardware. ...

This may or may not be an Ubuntu problem. Anyways, here's my problem:
I have a salvaged Western Digital 1tb drive, it's of the MyBook type. It was badly corrupted due to being dropped when I got...

All of those give me the error:

I am using nautilus-share, I've never had a problem with doing so for the couple years I've been using Ubuntu- then again, until now I've only ever needed to access my linux shares from windows...

Windows firewall is completely off and no luck.

There wasn't a ';' for that line when I'd started so I left it as-is, I didn't think to comment it out and see if it made any difference.

My workgroup is indeed WORKGROUP, and It's the same deal...

I changed back the 'name resolve order' line

here it is:

Nope, no luck with that either...

I do have samba installed.

I've tried mounting via a terminal (as root), and I've tried every way I can think of to mount them in Nautilus. Running the command smbtree will show me the computers...

I'm going to start this off by saying that yes!, I have googled this, read a bunch of threads on various forums about this, and tried pretty much everything I could think of (and everything that was...

Thank you, I knew I was probably over-complicating it, that was almost exactly what I was looking for.

I'm trying to write a script to generate an html file (complete with formatting- echo "[random formatting]" >> index.html) for all the files in the given directory.

So far, it works pretty well. ...

Thanks!

Actually, I looked around a bit more and I think that I'll go with a Lenovo G550 instead, everything works out of the box and it's a decent system for me, I've always liked Lenovo (I'm on...

I'm searching for a laptop that is 100% compatible with Linux (Linux in general though I'd like to have a *buntu variant). I will be taking it to college with me.

I can confirm it works on the IBM ThinkPad A31 for fixing the notifications (Ubuntu 9.10)

I have the M7 so I don't know if that would help me, though it might.

I need to know if it works for my system because I need a working computer for school and if I kill this one I'm screwed...and...

I gave that a try but it didn't help me at all with my notification issues, so I don't know.

Okay, the output of "lspci -nn | grep VGA" gives me



Which is supported for full 3D. (the ThinkPad A31 graphics card is in the 7500 / rv200 based cards.)

There's apparently known issues...

I haven't been able to get online for a bit, but that's the exact thing I was describing.

Likewise, enabling compositing in Metacity does make things worse.

I've found that (going by the...

Bump

I upgraded my system today and I haven't had any real issues other than Ubuntu One and my notifications. The Ubuntu One issue I read is a bug that will be fixed.

The notifications, however, are a...
