So I received a kernel panic error after a simple tweak to my system and thus decided to boot using an older kernel instead. I thought, why not just delete the new kernel using Synpatic or Ubuntu...

I have an Acer ultrabook with pretty decent specs. Running 13.04 however causes tremendous lag as though I was using hardware from the early 90's. I have installed the Intel graphics manager for...

Hmm, good suggestion about checking what is mounted via the terminal before install. I'll report back in a few with findings.

Ok, so I managed to fully get rid of the virtual drive that I thought was causing the issue. However, the same error occurs during install.

Here's the official spit-out I get on my screen:

I am unable to install any version of Ubuntu because of a mounted virtual drive that I can't disappear from my system.

In Windows, I went into the device manager and manually uninstalled the...

There's one thing I thought of that might be contributing to the problem. Tell me if you agree.

Perhaps when installing Ubuntu with Wubi, certain scripts which affect hardware such as what's...

I have an Acer Aspire 5315. There is a huge issue with the fan that everyone with this particular brand is aware of. Basically, it just stops spinning.

Hello.

I am dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

My laptop brand is an Acer Aspire 5315. There's a huge problem with this machine's fan- and everyone knows about it who has one. Basically the...

Hey guys. I'm a big fan of "drag and drop", WYSIWYG editors. Kompozer, I thought, would be the equivalent of Yahoo! Sitebuilder (what I used on Windows to make websites).

So anyway, the program...

Forget that.. Figured it out. My noobish skills, me hopes, are fading.

There's a little typo.. the directory where the file is: home/grant/Downloads/acer_fancontrol/

Alright, so the problem really is that I'm a noob with the ubuntu terminal (which I'm catching on to).

I need you, if you could, to provide me with the exact code to punch in. The file is i:n...

I need some serious assistance yet nobody seems to be offering any. My laptop keeps shutting down out of nowhere- now more so than ever since installing Ubuntu.

After starting a thread in the...

Sorry, forgot to post the link to the thread that contains the solution I'm looking for. There it is above.

I'm bumping this thread.

Here is the solution to my problem- it's a script designed to control the fan of my laptop. I KNEW it wasn't a BIOS thing. But here's the REALLY crappy part- the install...

I'm bumping this thread. No why? In the middle of attempting to post my first bump/reply, my Acer 5315 shut down on me. The stupid thing is as hot as an oven- the fan simply isn't kicking on (as...

Hey, I'm a little confused. After downloading the script and then attempting to install via the terminal, I'm told "no such file or directory". A little help?

Hmm, I could give this a shot and I'll report back some other time on the progress. However, if anyone out there reading this has solved this problem 100%, please provide your input- it would be much...

Thanks for the reply. Only, threads here on the Ubuntu forums all seem to indicate that this is a hardware issue relating to the fan of this particular model. Many have stressed that it is not the...

I'm sorry to do this, but I'm bumping my own thread as I'm really in need of a solution.

Hello all.

I have an Acer Aspire 5315. The only modification I've made to it in terms of hardware is having added another gig of RAM thus increasing my allotted total to 2 gigs. All of the other...

Oh c'mon. You know as well as I do that we shouldn't have to pay for a thing. This the whole philosophy behind "open-source" anyway, correct?

And PLEASE, you are like the one millionth person to...

NOPE! Problem still not solved. I downloaded the advanced CCSM, still, same as the screen shot I posted. Bizarre, huh? Any help or should I figure this out on my own like I have for every other...
