Thanks! :D

I'm going to look into "Boot Repair". Once I have the computer again to work on I'll give it a shot :)

Hey everyone, my apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.

I recently worked on a friend's computer installing Xubuntu 12.04 and Windows XP.

Xubuntu is working great, but I need to...

Installed XP on my laptop (in the process of setting up a dual-boot) and still I could only get it to charge to 41%.

Tried numerous charge/discharge cycles; no luck either.

Even tried...

Yeah I'm having a similar problem on my Inspiron 1525; my battery won't charge past 41%.

But charging the battery shouldn't be OS independent. I.e., you should be able to charge the battery...

Here are some screenshots:

New battery charge history:...

EDIT: I should add I just updated my BIOS to the latest version to see if it would help; no luck :/

Just tried that; via the live CD the battery is acting exactly like it did running off the HDD.

It get to ~41% and it says "Laptop battery is charged"

I'm running Lubuntu 11.04 x64 on my Dell Inspiron 1525.

Originally, it had a 28 Wh 4-cell battery.

Yesterday I received a 8-cell battery.

When I installed it it was about 80% charged; now it...

Thanks a million! I had just about given up on PiTiVi until I came across this :)

Yeah, I'm having the same problem (at least somewhat)

I'm running 11.04 on my laptop. It works great but after I close my laptop lid and leave it running for a while, when I open it back up to...

^ Worked like a charm! Thanks a million!

Tried it, no luck; still opens as "Read-only"

I even double-checked the directory; it's correct.

How do I do that on it?

I'm decent with Ubuntu but stuck when it comes to more complicated Terminal commands

"yellowsnow4free" (me) is the owner.

I'm the owner of the document, but for some reason I can't change it to "Read and Write"

I created a password-protected .doc file in Windows yesterday using the latest version of OpenOffice (3.2.1)

Opening the file worked perfectly; double-clicked the file, OpenOffice popped up and...

Just picked up a new 1600x900 monitor today and I love it.

After a little tweaking, I've got it setup in Ubuntu 10.04 in 1600x900 resolution.

Problem is, the icons that are usually on the right...

Okay, so I installed the AMD64 version for Karmic listed here.

I can't get USB support working. I've added myself to the group "vboxusers", but every time I open up (in my case, Windows XP),...

Is the version at VirtualBox.org the OSE or PUEL?

Back in 9.10 I was using PUEL I believe. USB worked almost out of the box (had to add myself to the group "vboxusers"

I think I might know the problem.

From the VirtualBox PUEL Edition Guide:


BTW, you're not running the OSE, right?
I just installed 10.04 and I want to get the PUEL version of VirtualBox...

Just to confirm, are you referring to the downloads listed here?

I downloaded the x64 version for Karmic, but I haven't installed it yet. Is the x64 version on the above page the OSE? I really...

So back in 9.10 (32 bit), I used this guide to install the version of VirtualBox I wanted.

Now I'm in 10.04 64-bit, and I'd like to install the same "version" of VirtualBox. I'm not sure if...

Thanks for the info.

I think I'll try it out next week!

I apologize in advance to the mods if I posted this in the wrong place.

I just learned today that there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu.

My laptop is currently running Ubuntu 9.10 that...

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, but I'm having trouble with NetBeans.

I'm trying to run a Java applet.

My code (provided by my Java instructor):


import java.awt.*;

Thanks!
