Whenever I do any keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+C to copy, or Alt-Tab to switch windows, etc), I get a similar freeze-- no keyboard or mouse input-- for about a second.
Has anyone tried the Lucid LTS on the Y510? I've got the weekend to try a clean install :)
Just reiterating, this is what worked on both my Gutsy and Hardy machines:
Go to /usr/lib/ Here I found a folder named 'flashplugin-nonfree'. If you have it too, this might work for you too. ...
I've heard early updaters to 9.10 have been having more headache than normal. I'll probably wait until Christmas break to upgrade..
So I'm *excited* but also scared. Has anyone tried 9.10 for the y510 yet? :popcorn:
I'm still on Gutsy =O
Hey guys, so my old 65 watt y510 power cord died so I am thinking of buying a new one from lenovo, this one is 90 watts though. Will the higher watts kill my computer, or is it safe? :confused:
The first time I sent it in, the return time was about 2 weeks. Sorry to hear about your hinge breaking as well :(
Are the only problems with 9.04 on the Y510 compiz and sound? Are brightness, webcam, card reader working out of the box?
The hinge first broke last August, and it broke again a week or so ago. I'm sending it in again, I hope they fix it for good this time and don't wipe ubuntu off of the machine :rolleyes:
This is a bit off-topic but have you Y510 guys had any hinge problems with the right hinge (behind the sound control buttons)? Mine just broke for the second time (sent it in for repairs the first...
I don't have this theme yet :(
With the newly compiled ALSA drivers for Intrepid, do you have to mute/turn on each speaker separately as we've had to so far? If not, I'll probably stick with Gutsy..
i played a ton of gridwars on xp and i'm happy to see it ubuntu.
however, when i tried to run it on ubuntu 7.10, it runs horribly horribly slow (can't be hardware because this laptop could handle...

Just wanted to update setting up 32 bit Gutsy:
Hard Disk Load Cycle Error: I was in fact getting this error which was overworking my harddrive. I found a working fix here:...

Sound: same issues, haven't tried to fix yet
Brightness: worked out of the box
The problem I'm having is with the webcam. Neither Skype nor Cheese can...
4 weeks later, I'm still running into this issue (running Xubuntu 7.10). Is the released version of firefox 3.0 not on the servers yet?
I'm getting a similar problem with the ubuntu 8.04 alternate install cd too, now. my laptop is kind of in a sad state now, does anyone know a fix? :(
EDIT: never mind, still having the same problem
Hi I'm trying to install Xubuntu 8.04 on my old vaio using the alternate install cd.
The installer stops at installing the base system and gives me the following error:

I have a similar problem with my inspiron 6000. A few months ago, I accidentally shut it with a pen inside, and the right hinge cracked a little. Now, the right side of the back cover props up when...
