Hi, One thing I dislike about Ubuntu is that everything can be going along smoothly and suddenly for no apparent reason it stops working. I was online and then closed my browser. I opened a Word...

Thanks again for the advice. I have not been able to try an alternate keyboard. You said if that doesn't work and I know which package caused the problem I should try to dig up the previous version...

Thanks Drs305. I believe the most recent set of packages updated and listed in History will contain the suspected troublemaker. After all, I am sure the sequence was accept recommended updates,...

Hi, after accepting recommended updates one day, the next day my keyboard no longer worked. I did not do an upgrade, only updates. Still have Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I am unable to enter Synaptic Package...

Cortman, in my original post I noted that I couldn't get into the BIOS because I couldn't press F12. On startup the screen reads "BIOS Press F12" But my keyboard doesn't work!

That's the main...

Hi, tried both commands. Output="Reading package lists...Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...Done Calculating upgrade...Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not...

Hi, after accepting recommended updates (didn't pay attention to which ones), the next time I booted up the keyboard didn't work. I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Dell XPS M1530. I am willing to...

Hi all, have been running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as host with Windows 7 as guest for a few months with no problem. Kernel is 2.6.32.21 generic. I have Dell XPS M1530 500GB Hard drive. I was checking a .jpg...

I have tried purging dkms and reinstalling it. I have made sure build-essential is updated. For both of those, I cannot complete the update because I get a message that the oss4-dkms and blcr parts...

pytheas22 I followed your instructions for option 1 and all went well. Grub is now booting from the third kernel from the top, the generic one, and my ethernet connection works fine. I would mark...

pytheas22 It worked! During startup I went into the Grub menu and at the top was the generic pae kernel. I arrowed down to generic kernel and pressed enter and waited for it to boot. Then I...

pytheas22, First things first. How do I display the grub menu? I tried pressing esc several times as the system started but nothing happened. I then held down escape but then started to get a...

Hi, I am more concerned when I read your suggestion I change kernels. It seems a drastic solution. This computer has a new hard drive and Lucid Lynx is a clean install. We may be getting ahead of...

Hi, so far my computer is still not recognizing the sky2 module. Here is the output of the commands you suggested. The lsmod | grep sky command did nothing.

richard@richard-laptop:~$ sudo...

Hi, I did not make a custom kernel. Here is the output for those two commands. Also, do you need me to run the dmesg and grep commands? Not sure how.

richard@richard-laptop:~$ sudo locate...

Pytheas22 thanks for the reply. It seems I am missing the sky2 module. I ran the first command with the DSL line plugged in and the module was not found. Here is the output for the commands but I...

Hi, I'm hoping someone will respond to both our posts. I am using 10.04 on a Dell XPS M1530. My problem is a bit different. My wired connection was working fine until I downloaded Virtualbox and...

Now I realize there is one workaround. Other USB devices automount and their icons can be seen on the desktop at any time, but the NTFS external drive can only be accessed if it is plugged into the...

oldefoxx there is a lot to consider but it does seem ideal if I can get Virtualbox going. I have to read the manual for VBox but I am assuming I can run a program from a virtual Windows 7 and use it...

smurphy_it I need you to walk me through the steps to creating a directory and folder on my desktop. Now when I click open in Office the NTFS drive is not listed under places so I am unable to...

Oldefoxx, I am a relative novice to Ubuntu, but was convinced to abandon Windows. Recently I upgraded to Lucid and am very happy with it. Since moving to Ubuntu in 2008 I have managed to find a...

Hi, SuaSwe I pressed Alt f2 simultaneously and nothing happens.

I stumbled on the location of the external hard drive when I opened office. There it was listed under places on the left side and...

Hi, I've read through a lot of the posts above but can't automount. sudo fdisk -l shows sdb1, there is a directory for it in media/usb, I have the latest ntfs-3g application, and can't figure out...
