Well, I don't think it's a screen saver that's happening. As I said, I'll be in the middle of browsing\typing, and voila my screen goes to sleep and I can't wake it up. Though, I will go ahead and...

Well, I don't think it's a screen saver that's happening. As I said, I'll be in the middle of browsing\typing, and voila my screen goes to sleep and I can't wake it up. Though, I will go ahead and...
So, I face a pretty menacing problem with Ubuntu 12.10. While browsing through google or any other site for that matter my monitor decides for absolutely no reason whatsoever to go to sleep, WITHOUT...
Bump. :D
Thinking about getting back into Ubuntu, after the emergence of Windows 8 and subsequent rape, I feel it necessary to distance myself for Microsoft further. Currently, I only use Microsoft for...
After finding it too hard to part completely with Ubuntu, I plan to run it in Windows 7 as a Virtual Machine while still using it as a primary operation point for browsing and chatting rather than...
I'm not sure what the whole rant here was about, but okay.
Personally I do love Linux. I just do not love the lack of support from everything else in regards to Linux. I would love to continue using Linux, as it's preferred. Which is the reason to my anger...
I have given several reasons why Linux has not been very stable for me, as I said it's not nearly as customizable as Windows as far as customizing the look and themes of things(myth from Ubuntu...
If this is so, then why even with all of the propietary drivers and WINE I could play 0 of my games? It doesn't and cannot use DirectX, therefore having it on a gaming rig is pointless. Also, as I...
The fact remains that I have a $1,500 computer that plays games, high-end games and I just have no use for Linux on this machine. It's inconvenient switching over just to play games. I did enjoy the...
Well, I am just down right sick of Ubuntu. In all honesty it wasn't as customizable as I had thought it would be. I definitely have managed to customize Windows 7 far more. The only upsides I really...
First of all, I have a dual boot of Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7. I'm now wanting to remove GRUB, and Ubuntu 11.10 entirely from my hard drive. What steps would I take in order to avoid any problems...
Okay, I installed Ndiswrapper 1.57 without a hitch this time. Now.. When I try "modprobe ndiswrapper" it hangs.. Like always. How can I get around this?
I see what the problem is. It downgraded my version of Ndiswrapper from version 1.57 back to version 1.56. Why the hell would that happen?
Last time I tried to even upgrade to 1.57 from 1.56 it...
I ran an update through update manager. Just a standard run of the mill update, and of course as always with Linux nothing can just go smoothly, NOTHING. I restart the machine, and now suddenly my...
Hey, I had the same issue. I have a dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10. There is a very simple solution to this problem. You can at least try it before doing anything else.
I'm assuming you...
I've successfully gotten things working with Virtual Box, but not with an existing installation on a physical drive like I had hoped to achieve. I'm just using an old Windows XP copy for a virtual...
While we're on this subject I've successfully gotten things working with Virtual Box, but not with an existing installation on a physical drive like I had hoped to achieve. I'm just using an old...
I'm going to have to try then. Thanks.
Maybe it will benefit me. How do you call upon a saved monitor configuration in X Server Settings?
Is there a better solution for Dual Screen monitors than Nvidia X Server Settings? I mean, the support with this program is just absolutely ATROCIOUS. You should be able to simply select what you...
Okay, so I opened up Windows XP through Virtualbox and I clicked "Devices -Install Guest Additions". Here is the message that I get.
Could not find the VirtualBox Guest Additions CD image file...
What extension pack? :P
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10, and I have windows XP professional in VirtualBox. The only problem that I have with it is the screen resolution. I'm wanting to use this primiarly for things like Netflix....
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 I installed my additional drivers some time ago, and when typing in Nvidia in the Unity dash, I only have Nvidia x server settings. Is that correct, or should I also have a...
