    [other] Re: Linux on 7" mini netbook ARM-VT8500 ?

    Finally had a chance to take another crack at this. The files on the link you provided didn't really help; however, after snooping around that forum, I did find this. This works, and my mom's...

    [other] Re: Linux on 7" mini netbook ARM-VT8500 ?

    I doubt it'd make a difference, but my SD card is formatted as FAT16. I'll go ahead and try it with a FAT32-formatted card.

    EDIT: Nope, the FAT32-formatted card made no difference. How long are...

    Afraid not. It doesn't even seem to be touching my router; no sign of it on the active clients list or on the DHCP leases.

    Playing with my mom's Sylvania WM8505-based smartbook, and I think I might have borked it... I tried to install the Android image on page 66 of this thread, and the install seemed to go fine;...

  6. [ubuntu] Swapping motherboards... do I have to reinstall?

    I'm going to be swapping the motherboard in my HTPC soon... I know that when using Windows, it's pretty much a necessity to do a reinstall when going to a different motherboard. How about with...
  7. Re: Hard drive manufacturers and quality control

    I'll second this; I've got an 80GB WD Drive from either 2001 or 2002, and it still works fantastically; it makes a "click" when it spins up, but no crashes or data loss. It's currently in my mom's...

    [mythbuntu] Re: Start apps minimized?

    Thanks, but that was the first thing I thought of. Unfortunately, one of said apps is a Java applet that doesn't seem to have this option. Is there a way to do this that doesn't necessarily depend...
  9. [ubuntu] Re: Can't Anyone help with serious system crash?

    Worst case scenario: reinstall from the LiveCD. When you get to the partitioner, select "Manual". For each partition, right-click, select Edit, and uncheck Format, then set up your mountpoints...

    Hey, trying to autostart a couple of apps on session start in the background on my Mythbuntu box. The problem is, about half the time, they start after MythTV, and thus the windows appear in front...

  12. [all variants] ATI graphics card: Should I, or shouldn't I?

    We've all heard the common wisdom... ATI's drivers are crap, stick with nVidia under Linux, yadda yadda. But I'm going to be in the market for a budget card very soon, and with the low prices on the...

    [ubuntu] Re: Computer won't turn on!

    Unfortunately, laptops are extremely tricky for upgrades like this. And no, there's no easy way to replace the power supply on a laptop.

    Have you tried updating your BIOS/firmware yet? If that...

    [ubuntu] Re: Computer won't turn on!

    Try updating the motherboard to the latest firmware. A lot of times, older firmware won't support a dual core chip. I had to do that with my socket 939 board.

  18. [all variants] Re: Evolution cannot connect to localhost

    You might need to open up the ports used by YPOPs on the firewall; go to terminal and enter the following:


    sudo ufw allow 5110
    sudo ufw allow 5025

    That should open the ports for POP3 and...

    The Wii doesn't support UPnP; I am trying to use the web interface from the Wii. I guess that's my problem.
