The important part is to keep the desktop working smoothly, and it is, Nvidia settings manager is not as important, so I'm OK with the way the desktop is working.

The Nvidia binary driver v.331.38 works better then the Nouveau display driver that was auto chosen. I only see 1 Nvidia Xserver settings manager. With the Nouveau driver, the computer was freaking...

Yes, I rebooted, here's what I get with the nvidia settings: 256153

I just updated the nvidia driver for a GeForce 210 card, from the Nouveau display driver to the Nvidia binary driver v.331.38. Then installed the Nvidia X server settings program, when I bring up the...

Installed the 331.xx driver, ubuntu running great, new graphics card w/this driver is a good match, thanks all for your help.

First, what does having a Fermi card mean for my situation? Second, would just installing the 331.38 driver that's listed in the additional driver list work instead of trying the PPA route? Last time...

Just bought a new graphics card, EN210 and that did the trick.

Just installed an older Geforce GTX 460 graphics card into my Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit computer. It's running on the 304. driver that the older card was using and it's working, just doesn't act like I...

When I open Firefox on my Apple PowerBook G4 w/Lubuntu 12.04, the whole page needs help to load. What I need to do is hold the left mouse button down and swipe the whole page to get all to appear....

After installing 12.4, Hadaka had me run this set of codes;sudo apt-get update

Well,well,well, as soon as I changed the panel from the bottom to the top, I got a wireless icon I could click on and put in the necessary info to connect, and now, after all that, I have a good wifi...

OK, done, rebooted, get a message that wifi found, need to go to network manager to make connections. I can't find a network manager. Seems like the next step would be to get a network/wireless...

I followed the instruction in script, went to the http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/...devicefirmware and followed that instuctions sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer, now I've got a icon...

OK, here's what I decided to do, I'm installing 12.04 right now which maybe easier to get wifi to work and yes that's like starting all over again, but 12.04 is stable. I guess I'll have to go...

The live cd should show me if the wifi is working?

Burning 12.04 to disc now and will see if that works with wifi any better.

Lubuntu 14.04 and no did not read the PPCFAQ, will be my next step. Another helper said that the b43 module should not be interfering since I'm using the linux-firmware-nonfree. Can't hurt to try,...

The b43-legacy did nothing, a suggestion to install the linux-firmware-nonfree for the driver was made, still not connecting. The Broadcom card sees my network, just no connection.

Thanks for your persistence.
