Still analyzing this network display concern. Now fully solved. Since making this post, I located and deleted a ".smb" directory in my "home" directory. That solved the problem on one computer, but...

New information.

I just recently installed a new router. The router is now visible in the same manner as displayed in the image "computer3.png" in my initial post. However the other computers...

I have been using phpMyAdmin.

Recently, I noticed that when viewing the network under Nautilus on two computers that the other two home LAN computers do not show-up. Look at image for computer3 and compare that to the image for...

First, I forgot. Next, it did look like I made a connection; but an hour late, but no one was there. Too be expected.

Having a PHP study group sounds great, as I am just learning. As for an IRC channel, I am clueless. So an internet search on how to utilize it will be in order.
I'm in Morehead City, NC which is on...

With all the tweaking and card swapping, the Asus GT630-SL-2GD3-L decided to start working.

Issue #3 was resolved. The blank (black) screen issue was resolved through this website: How To Reset Compiz And Unity In Ubuntu 12.10 Or 13.04

I inserted Asus GT630-SL-2GD3-L into the computer and rebooted. The card was not detected. The display went to low resolution and did not identify the monitor. I installed the Nvidia-current...

Will not an optimal solution, since the problem remains unknown, I have marked the post solved since the serial/USB adapter plugged into the mouse port works.

So far the "solution" has been to use a usb/serial adapter and plug the mouse into the mouse port. That would seem to imply that Ubuntu must have a difficulty in recognizing a device attached to a...

When boot-up process is complete the cursor is "locked". I have to unplug the mouse and plug it back-in. It then works correctly.

Initially this problem started with the upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10....

Thanks for the post. Mounting my USB Drive failed with the upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04. The solution you posted worked for me too. Thanks.

I will mark this thread as solved since I can login now. Still some clean-up work to do. A new clean install might have been faster, but this was quite an intense learning experience.

If you use...

I have achieved partial success in that I can now login under my wife's account and I get to the Ubuntu desktop. I did get a bunch of Ubuntu "internal error messages". I hope that those will...

I may have a match. I received the following error message in the file ".xsession-errors"


A writeup on this error appeared on Judson's Notes - Ubuntu login screen loop!. From what I could tell,...

Good point, they were owned by "root". I went ahead and corrected the ownership.
I experimented by toggling between "lightdm" and "gdm", still had the same problem.

I didn't see anything. .Xauthority was 0 bytes long. Still got the message "Keyboard initialization failed. Missing or incorrect setup for the Xkeybaord-Config". It occurred to me that this error...

Thanks. I had already tried that, did not work. The passwords do work from the command line. So problem would have to be in the keyboard configuration file.

I am unable to get past the login screen. It won't accept passwords, the screen momentarily goes black, and then returns to the login screen.

I recently found out that you can use CTRL-ALT-F1 to...

Installed a new optical drive today in the laptop. The YouTube videos helped tremendously. I was able to boot into Ubuntu 12.10 off the optical drive and make a wireless connection to the home...

Well, I did not get a chance to test Ubuntu. The Optical Drive is dead. We did fix the Windows error message "not genuine". I am posting the Windows fix, in case some luckless soul has the same...

Re-installing Windows is the rub. The hard disk crashed this past summer, a new hard disk was installed including Windows, and Windows has been causing some problems since.

Windows is not working properly on my my daughters Sony Laptop Computer Model VPCCW23FX. We are contemplating installing Ubuntu on it.

She will be returning home next week from college. In the...

I have NO knowledge as to whether this will help, but in my "No Sound" case, the issue was resolved by installing the GNOME ASLA Mixer from the Synaptic Program Manager. Click on this link to see my...
