Hi Andrew,

I followed that post you referred to, and it was very helpful, although I am trying to get smplayer to run on Debian Wheezy. Most seemed to work OK, apart from the long list of packages...

Hi,

thanks for taking the trouble to do this. I've been hunting for a driver for my Laserbase MF3220 to do this for a couple of years, but no luck. I contacted Canon, and they said a linux driver...

10.10 Maverick Meerkat

This won't install via Software Manager. If I try in Synaptic, I get that it depends on:

python-gtkhtml2

Which is not available. Looking in the packages, it looks...

I have a bizarre problem.

I installed Wine, and there was a problem with the way I installed some Adobe Elements 7 plug-ins, so trying to remove everything, finding just uninstalling PSE7 didn't...

I was having the same problem. I purged Wine, removed the .wine directory, removed all the menu items, and it still 'said' it was uninstalling - when it actually seemed to install - but then...

No idea:

also, I notice I have several kernel versions marked as installed going back to 2.6.27-17. Am I right in thinking these can be removed (as in housecleaning) via synaptic?

I read recently about security flaws in the ubuntu kernel, and when I checked my kernel, it is 2.6.32-29-generic. I looked in synaptic, and I have the linux-generic meta-package - which should...

Tried it out, and yes, setting the flag for automatic connection off, when you boot up, there is no network connection, so the nm applet is visible, and you select the network connection you want.

I tried all the suggestions here and elsewhere. The only think that worked for me was to kill the connection by hard reset - switching the wifi off on and then off again on the laptop. The network...

Apologies for the delay in responding. Was holding back till I had time to attend to this. Not had time. I'm thinking I may wait until I get access to a live CD of 10.10, and go for a fresh install...

A few months ago, I installed 10.04 (Intel) 64-bit from live CD in the UK within the Windows 7 filesystem. I set this up to add Ubuntu as a boot option after W7, and that takes me into a boot menu...

I recently got a Nokia n900, and was so taken with it and reading about the move to Meego on future Nokia ARM devices, tried out Meego on my Advent/Wind netbook. Loooked OK, but didn't pick up the...

Thanks for that, the last one cracked it for me also - Start up and go with pp.internet didn't work, so looked up the settings under windows, then in NBE 10.4 I put that in as plan unknown with...

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place. I recently gained an n900, but don't want to hack ubuntu onto it just yet, and don't want an iPad or Android aPad or Archos 9 running W7 very slowly...

So, if you have no 'Cheese' folder in ~/.gnome2 - you've lost it. Oh well end of a bad couple of days. Wish there was some other way of using a webcam in Ubuntu - Cheese gives you no control over...

I have this webcam, and followed the instructions, and it works under Ekiga and Cheese - but nothing else. Problem is I need to be able to run under something that allows recording in AVI format,...

Ah. It was something obvious I was missing - the din plug that says 'in' goes in the 'out' port on the keyboard, and the one that says 'out' goes in the 'in' port. I figured 'in' went with 'in' and...

The original post was very helpful I have just installed Ubuntu Studio (8.10) and had expected this to just work (I use Debian for those times I don't want to play - Ubuntu for when I just want stuff...

When I first set up ubuntu I could ping XP PC's, but not Vista. It may bee that the PC's are set up not to be pinged (this is a way intruders can test what is on the network). Don't assume the...

I know what you mean, rhardie. For ten years now, every couple of years, I do a linux install to see how things are going, and I run it for a couple of weeks, and get sick of it and put it away. I...

went into /var/lib/dpkg/info & removed all the clvm.* scripts.

Next time I ran an apt-get command it gave me a one-line whinge about not finding the entries for clvm. So, I went into synaptic,...

I have checked out the threads on this, and nothing works for me - DD6

I tried the various apt-get install, remove, update, -f & dpkg commands - errors still there.

I am using lvm on my PC,...
