I'm using an Asus Z70Va laptop which features a Radeon Mobility X700. When I go to SYSTEM > ADMINISTRATION > HARDWARE DRIVERS Ubuntu then tries to do a search in which the result is "No proprietary...

I finally got my mouse to work now. Turns out my batteries were not only getting low but one of them started to leak acid.

I cleaned my mouse after removing the bad batteries and now my mouse...

Understood. I'm just surprised that a LTS version can have inferior Bluetooth support to that of its immediate non-LTS predecessors.

Ooops. My mistake. I am running an Asus Z70Va notebook with integrated Toshiba Bluetooth adapter. I have no dongle. And yes I do have a Logitech bluetooth mouse (which came with no dongle).
...

I guess no one knows... I'll try to do a fresh reinstall. If no luck, I'll just go back to Jaunty since that was more reliable for Bluetooth.

Answering my own question here, hidd is part of the "bluez-compat" package. Getting the package did not help. And it is no longer supported by Ubuntu.

I also forgot to mention, that when I try to do "sudo hidd -search" I get an error stating that the command is not found.

Do I need to get a package to get the hidd command?

I'm using a fresh install of 10.04. Lucid Lynx does not detect my bluetooth mouse through installation.

When I try to add a new device through the default bluetooth software, it endlessly tries...

When I do the "sudo hidd -search" command, I get an error stating command not found.

I'm redoing the Debian installation just for good luck. How do I get UNetbootin to install Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu?

Sorry, I meant the tutorial link found in your signature block's link appears to be dead.

I'm sort of confused. When you say dpkg, you are referring to Etch and Lenny, right?

I also do not...

Ah, so immediately after doing the minimal install, I should use this UNetbootin to install Xubuntu? I clicked on your signature block dealing with UNetbootin but it seems the link there assumes I...

Ah, so I can skip the getting a key as well? I'm on it now... crossing my fingers. If this fails, I guess this old notebook will have to be a Debian box.

For the life of me, it seems there are...

If I use the Lenny disks, do I need to add those comments concerning Lenny in my sources.list file? And do I need to get the dpkgs for that mattter?

I went ahead with the apt-get update (using all 4 Lenny lines in example of 2nd link) and got the following error:



This is what I put at the beginning of my sources.list file:



If I opt...

Do I also add the deb-src lines in the 2nd link you provided before the ubuntu lines within the sources.list file?

Okay, that did the trick. But now when I try to install the Lenny dpkg, I get the following error:



Is the Lenny dpkg imperative?

One typo I had was what I thought was a lower case "I" for the installation of the dpkg. It turns out it was a lower case "L".

sudo definitely does not work. However when I do a su, the system...

Sorry for this stupid question, but do I do this before or after I do the "apt-get update"?



I really appreciate your time and patience on this. This is what I think the whole procedure has...

Well, I didn't get far... decided to start over again... this time doing the install via this walk through: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies

The part where I am stuck...

Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't know how to install Xubuntu for that other link you provided that covered a floppy install. That was what I didn't know how to do... unless you mean the same...

Okay, I decided to ditch the other tutorial and retry your approach again and get a private requesting key.

I first create the sources.list file as per your instructions.

I then enter: "gpg...

I realized I needed to double check the path and this is what I needed to use for the server I chose: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ However, I am currently stuck at...

If I use this other guide, I am not sure what I need to do to ensure I install Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu.

I try to use the following command and get a "server returned error 404: HTTP/1/1 404 Not...
