Thanks for your response, not what I was hoping for, but good to know. I have a followup question: When I run "dmidecode -q | less", I get two listings for "Memory Device:

I have a Starling (the sticker on the bottom calls it a Bonobo Performance Bonp4; model # M1110Q) that currently has 2 GB of ram. Another computer of mine recently stopped working, and I'm looking...

I'm unable to select items in my network menu. I can open the drop down from the menu bar, but if, for instance, I try to enable wireless networking through the drop down menu, nothing happens.

I fixed this problem after some googling, I thought I'd share the solution.

For some reason, fspc won't run from a script, nor aparently from a file executed from a script. But from this bug...

How can this change be made permanent? After running

the settings change back every time the computer is restarted or suspended. Can...

I'm running 12.04 on a Star4, and I've had problems with my touchpad settings in the past (see this thread), but following the instructions in the System76 knowledge base, my settings load properly...

Great, thanks jerrrys and lolpenguin!

mcduck, I tried to disable it through its own preferences; to my knowledge I don't have dconf, but I will consider getting it if it can resolve issues like...

I hate the update-manager application, and I use apt-get to run updates. I turned off the automatic launching of the application, but it still pops up every time I run

It seems to working normally now at startup, I don't know what changed or why that happened, the only setting I've changed recently is the boot order :confused:

It is doing a strange thing of...

When I run sudo fspc, the GUI pops up and I can manually change the behavior. It's just not loading the settings I've set it to load as default.

$ which fspc
/usr/bin/fspc
$ ls /home
mjc

Also, I've updated to 11.10, and the problem persists here. One change: I get an error message when I run fspc in the terminal:

$ sudo fspc

Unfortunately, after restarting again, the stored settings aren't loading. I can manually change the setting after restarting.

I checked the sudoers file, and I don't see anything wrong with it:...

That seems to have done it, hopefully it stays working :)

Thanks for your help! This seems a generally applicable rule for troubleshooting: when in doubt, reinstall.

11.04, star4

Out of the blue, the configuration I set up following the knowledge76 Star4 guide stopped working for my touchpad. I checked my settings, and I accidentally followed the Bonobo...

I'm having a similar problem, I'll have to try this. How do you determine the channel of a wireless router you don't have access to? I'm surrounded by other wireless signals.

I just tested
sudo killall NetworkManager because I couldn't get on to check responses to this thread! It worked, but I agree that it's no ideal. What steps can I take to diagnose this problem? ...

Star4 running 11.04. I am not super savvy, to say the least. I regret my inanity.

I'm having a problem where I'm able to connect to wireless, but after a variable period I lose connection and...

Will 11.04 be supported on star3/4s?

I'm using suspend, both when I close the lid and when it sleeps through inactivity.

Here are my Power Management settings:

Ditto.

I have a relatively new star4, and I've recently been experiencing a problem where it won't wake properly from sleep. It's not all the time, and it's not always under the same conditions, but I've...

It's only happened when exiting full screen video, but I don't think I have a large enough sample size to say that's the only time it happens (I've only had the computer for a couple weeks).

I'll...

I'm on a new Starling, and I've been having an experience from time to time where I'm unable to type or use menus, and the only thing I've found that fixes it is hard rebooting by holding down the...

I have a similar problem, but it doesn't last for any real length of time. For example, I play speed chess online, and the connection will drop for about 10 seconds during most games, but it usually...

Thanks Steven, that solved it for me.
