Similar problem here. HP laptop with external monitor attached.
The external monitor is recognised and displays if I mirror the displays but when I try to extend the desktop the screen locks up....

Shoot me now!... Logging in and out again! Who'd have thought.
:oops:

Thanks for all the replies.

I can't seem to get access to the usb system. Everything works fine in ubuntu but in winxp running in virtualbox I have no access.
the problem seems to be in adding myself to the group vboxusers.

I'm assuming you just want a small section of a particular title on the DVD.
You can open whole title with avidemux then select the exact start and end frame you want. You can either copy or...

Hey...use avidemux instead of dvd::rip. It will transcode and concatenate files at the same time right from the .vob files. Uses a variety of codecs and a variety of containers.
Works like a charm,...

I am using DVD::rip to convert some instructional DVD's to .avi (xvid + mp3). I have never used this app before but its seems fairly straight forward and easy to use.
I am able to convert 1 title...

I have seen all kinds of threads with reports of problems getting d-link dwa-150 to work under LL. Has anyone actually ever accomplished this. Most of the threads seem to have been abandoned...

I have just install LL 10.04 on my desktop which also has as its only network link a d-link dwa-150 usb adapter which had been driving me crazy trying to install.

I followed the instructions from...

Thanks, that cleared up half the problem then I replaced the status file with the status-old file and we're in business.

Anyone seen this before? I was trying to install a package in KK:


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Packages were downloaded and unpacking then I got this:


Reading package...

Oh man am I stupid. I thought I had done everything but I missed out adding host names to /etc/hosts.


sudo gedit /etc/hosts

below line that says something like '127.0.0.1 localhost'

After migrating to lucid where I had so many problems I didn't know where to start, I went back to Karmic where I am now having a similar problem. Browsing shares worked fine before. My windows box...

Does it allow you to select normal effects ie is compiz working?

You are correct, the fglrx will not work. If you have installed lucid and its working, it has probably already set up the correct driver for you.

Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get home tonight. Can you give me details of how to blacklist the module when I find out which one it is.

Thanks for the reply P4Man.
It is in fact physical damage, since it happened after my dog knocked the laptop off a table...lol. It has been a consistent problem over winxp and 3 versions of...

Thanks guys

I really appreciate your help.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with an internal atheros chip.
I believe the internal wireless chip has been damaged as it detects my home network only at a very low signal even when I'm sitting...

I've had a similar problem with a Toshiba Satellite laptop using the default ati driver. The proprietary driver doesn't work at all.

I had similar problems with Karmic from the beginning on my Laptop. Tried everything: drivers, compiz/metacity etc etc.
With 1.7 GHz and 1.5G Ram it should not have been freezing, but did...

Instead of trying to mount the usb drive to multiple locations, simply mount to the single point /media/sdc1 as you have and create simlinks from your other directories.
eg.


ln -s /media/sdc1...

I really don't think that changing your UUID's in fstab is going to do anything to solve your problem. It sounds identical to the problem I had including the error with .gvfs. Unfortunately I can't...

The system will remount as read only on finding an error with fsck, however, it will automatically drop you into a maintainence shell so that you can fix them.

If so, you can change the permissions as follows"
