It worked a few times and them started giving me the same problem again. Not sure if it's a degenerating problem or just random.
Anyway, I followed the Dell instructions here:

I'm having this problem too. The problem occurs under both Gutsy and Hardy on my Dell Inspiron 530. I made no changes to IPv6 or to my DNS servers, but those changes don't seem to have done balls...
Adding all-generic-ide seems to work. Some odd behavior (forcing me to log in twice :confused:), but things seem to be OK.
Thanks!
Ok, I did some more googling, and it is a Hardy bug. It was also a Gutsy bug, apparently, but Gutsy works just fine for me.

I've burned the standard CD this time (and I burn all my CDs in GnomeBaker at 2x or 4x with "BurnFree" enabled), and still no good. As it's supposed to be booting from CD, it keeps giving this...
I have a Dell Inspiron 530. It's got a 500gb SATA hard drive and a SATA DVD-RW. It runs AwardBIOS, which gives an option to set my SATA drives to either "IDE" mode or "RAID" mode. By default it...

"Beagle" never returned any results for my searches (it would say "not found" even to files I knew that I had), so I just unchecked it. But I...
As a teacher, I find that gnome-dictionary and its applet are useful tools. But at first it was much too slow and required Internet access. Here are steps to install a database of definitions on...
As to why these "it sucks and i'm leaving" threads (1) get written and (2) get so many responses, here's my theory:
People want to vent. They're frustrated by things not working, they see all the...
I guess it depends on what long-term goals you have for Linux. If your goal is to provide a free (as in beer and speech) OS for hobbyists or people willing to spend time tinkering, then I think...
I think the original poster's frustrations are not unusual, are well founded, and ought to be heeded more by the Linux community.
Debates over which OS is "easier" objectively speaking (that is,...
