Have a look at the following community document on mounting USB drives:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB.

Thanks a lot, gothiclovechild. Helps knowing that.

When I have problems with my external drives not being picked up, I try the following:

1. First, check the cable connecting the external drive to the computer. If you keep the cable connected to...

I need some advice. I have bought a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with an Intel i3 core processor and Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I am planning to install Ubuntu 10.04 as dual-boot on the laptop...

When I want to copy/move files from one folder to another, I usually press <Alt+F10> to maximize the Nautilus file manager and then <F3> to display two panes. That way, it is easy to see both the...

Thanks lovinglinux for your Firefox extention - and your message.

But I'd like to understand your explanation a bit more. As far as I could judge from what appeared on the terminal window,...

This is not a request for help, but to say that Flash-Aid, the Firefox extension, helped sort out a recurrent problem that I was having with Adobe Flash player. I thought I should pass on this...

I too am having this problem. Even the solution suggested by mooseydoom doesn't work for me.

When I run 'sudo apt-get upgrade', I get the following error:

I just don't know what to do to get...

dinarcon: Thanks so much for your suggestions. Tried them all. But they don't work for me -- the cups-pdf on my machine still does not produce PDFs. :(

Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to live...

I had noticed the print-to-file option. But, unlike with cups-pdf, not all applications provide a PDF output with the print-to-file option. A case in point is Thunderbird, which is my default email...

Thanks for the suggestions nikgare.



Just tried this out. Doesn't help.



I am out of my depths here. How do I set the log level higher?

I have just installed Intrepid Ibex and am having difficulty getting cups-pdf to work. My recollection is that Hardy Heron included cups-pdf in the default installation, which made life so much...

Thanks for your feedback on installing Ubuntu on Eee PC 1000.

As for the problem you are facing, have you considered posting the question in the Eee User Forum? Maybe someone there has figured out...

I have just bought an Eee PC 1000H, which came with Windows-XP preloaded. (The Linux version is not being sold in India.) I would like to load Ubuntu on my Eee PC. So let me ask you how...

Xan, I'll try your idea out when I have a bit more spare time. Thanks.

coffeecat, your suggestion worked beautifully. Thanks.

I do have bandwidth limitations, I am afraid, which is why I am trying to avoid downloading the same software updates multiple times. But yours is certainly a very interesting idea and one that I'll...

Thanks a lot, coffeecat. The idea of copying the *.deb files from the cache had crossed my mind, although I haven't tried it out. But your suggestion about moving the *.deb files to the second (and...

I have Hardy installed on three of my computers: my laptop, my personal desktop and the family computer. At present, I am downloading software updates separately for each of the three computers. That...

Thanks Manny C for the HOWTO. I assume that the .emacs and .Xresources files are needed if you want to carry over settings from another distribution. My .emacs file, which I have carefully preserved...

Well, I went right ahead and ran the install script on the Add-On CD. After I installed Ubuntu 5.04, I had added the multiverse and universe repos in the sources.list, and run update and upgrade....

jiyuu0, you are the greatest! I practically sleep with your unofficial guide under my pillow. And this Add-On CD is just what I was looking for.

I have already used apt-get to download and install...

Thanks, Leif. I'll take your advice and see how it goes.

I share Cydizen's concern about ensuring stability. I am using Hoary. I normally keep universe and multiverse repos disabled, and enable them only when I need a package that cannot be found in the...

I suspect not. But you could download the 'scanModem' script referred to in my earlier post (which gives the URL for Linuxant page from where it can be downloaded) and run it to see if your modem is...
