Hi :)
A big thank you to Mobusbys :D and to Yunone :D for their posts N°49 and N°52. I followed these and now my wifi light has stopped blinking and sanity has been saved...
What would we do...

Oh no!!

After 4 years of successful Ubuntu, my computer will not boot now at all :

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)

And it's worse than other...

Hi,

Thanks very much for your reply.

The devices are all plugged into the USB ports of my computer (ASUS A6000). There are four ports. There is no hub. It does not matter which combination...

Could someone please help me : I simply do not know what to do next.
I can no longer get any of my USB devices to show on my desktop any more i.e. they will not automount.
EXCEPT my iPhone which...

Thanks for replying! Unfortunately, this did not work and on reboot only the Storage Card shows up.
Has anyone got any more ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Could somebody help me with the following problem?
I have a Sony Reader PRS-505. I use Calibre to access and manage the books. I also have an SD storage card (for music and photos).
Until...

I am experiencing the oddest behaviour with USB plug in devices. I regularly use four : my Sony Reader (two icons, main and SD memory), my iPhone and my USB key. If I just plug in my USB key, no...

Overkill??? NEVER MIND!!!!!
The light has finally stopped flashing and now I can start to enjoy Ubuntu again.
Thank you so much ... I was on the point of killing something myself!!!

Hi :
Have you done the obvious right click on the desktop background (Change Desktop Background)? If not, visual effects is the last tab and you can enable the settings there! :)

Hi everyone :
After hours and hours of research over three weeks, I have finally found a solution to this problem "Could not find postinst hook script [usr/sbin/update-grub]"
which prevented any...

Hi Namgar!
I tried your script but my wifi light is still flashing :( Have you any more ideas?
Thanks so much for posting, BTW ...

Same here, I have installed the script and chmod 755'd it but the wifi light still flashes.
Does anyone know how to turn it off like it was in Hardy?
PLEASE!

Yes, although I haven't yet upgraded to Intrepid (I'm in a slow wireless area at the moment so have to wait :( ) when your problem happened to me recently I discovered that a cold boot (i.e. not...

Hi!

I have often had resolution problems too since I started using Ubuntu. There are two ways to solve them, as far as I know.

One is manually to edit your xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)and...

Nobody else lost their printer after the CUPS update of a few days ago??

Today I had some time free and after about 4 hours' work I managed to get the 2.6.24-21 kernel up and running on my machine :)
The key to success was :

1) a cold restart into the -21 kernel which...

@Phidia
Thanks for your reply but using the lp command does not elicit anything extra at all - it just gives a file ID number, the printer icon appears in the task bar and then disappears again....

Hi!
Recently there was a CUPS update and now my Dell A940 (Lexmark x5150) has stopped working, although it was working perfectly before.

I have just reinstalled the z55 driver using these...

As promised : Kernelcheck worked fine, but was very slow (it took all night to complete the upgrade to 2.6.25.5-ultimate).

HOWEVER there were the following problems after reboot :

1) no...

Thanks : I am trying to build the new kernel using Kernelcheck now. The process takes 2-4 hours!! Will post the outcome. Thanks again :)

Hi
I am unable to run any kernel higher than 2.6.24-17 Any higher number kernel fails to install properly and I lose screen resolution, or there is an error message.
Any ideas? Does this matter...

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way to stream music directly to my Apple Airport Express as raop_play no longer works with the Alsa module installed in Hardy.
Can I do this with the...

I'm sure you did, but could you have forgotten to use root privileges to make the change? Another way of doing that (the one which I use) is to navigate simply to the place where the icons are, then...

Hi Janne,
I am sorry to see that nothing has happened to unblock the situation : I too would love to get my music streaming again!
Have you asked Nils Winkler specifically about your problem?...

Thanks!
