Thank you. I have pulled the trigger. Now I am impatiently awaiting my new laptop!

I am ready to pull the trigger on a brand spanking new Bonobo Extreme. This will be the third laptop that I've bought from and I have been thrilled with all of my purchases. What has irritated me...

Has anyone here run a Bonobo Extreme with Mint 14? I know that System76 does not support Mint but I was wondering if Mint works right with all of the hardware. It does with my slightly older Serpal...

I have no idea why but my physical NIC started working.

I know that support is not provided but I was hoping that someone has some advice on how to proceed. Yesterday I got a shiny new Serval Professional. I am not a real fan of where Ubuntu is going so...

OK..One more question and I admit my ignorance here. If I went with two drives, do they use different buses/channels? If I went with a 6GB SSD for the primary OS and, let's say, a 3GB SSD for...

Am I also right in assuming that if I choose to run an alternative distro, that it won't impact hardware support? For example, if I have a drive failure, you won't refuse to replace it due to me...

Shopping for a laptop. My current one is an older Serval that I'm passing down to my son to use for schoolwork. I'm comparing the Serval to Bonobo. While looking at the config specs, I noticed a...

Thanks...that was it. the indicator-datetime was not installed for some reason.

So I just upgraded to 11.04 and I'm still learning to navigate the Unity interface. One problem that I have is that there is not a clock on my bar and I cannot figure out how to add it back. Does...

Thanks both of you.

I'm new to NFS mounting. I just bought a NAS (QNAP TS-419) and have successfully mounted shares on the NAS from my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop.

I have a share on the NAS called Multimedia where pictures,...

The XBOX settings worked for me but the sound is only 2 channel stereo rather than 5.0/5.1. Any ideas?

Just upgraded my laptop to 9.10 and almost everything came over flawlessly, except, Evolution. It does not appear to be installed so I did the following and got the following error. Any ideas?
...

All of the native Linux-based printing work just fine. I can print from Evolution, Firefox or GIMP just fine. It's just the two WINE-based applications that don't seem to like printing pictures.

I cannot seem to get pictures to print correctly under WINE. I've tried both Evernote and Picasa 3.5 under WINE and I've tried printing to a Color LaserJet 2600n (network connected) as well as my HP...

I'm glad it's not just me but it is annoying since it's my only complaint with the system. It does everything else like a dream. It's like having that cool shiny new car with a dent in the driver's...

That did it. I'm now running the new kernel and the system seems rock solid but now I have another issue. After upgrading now my nVidia drivers do not work and the generic drivers are somewhat...

Is it something I'm doing wrong or are gdesklets flaky? Since 8.10 I've tried them and screenlets but they both always seem to be too flaky. I leave my system on for days (weeks) at a time and...

I have similar lockups and tried your command but I keep getting:

bash: !": event not found

Any ideas?

Try this:

If you go to a terminal and enter this command. This is how I do it on the Serval...
Code:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
...it will disable your mousepad.

To re-enable it...

WOW! That may have worked. Since blowing out the dust bunnies the system has not shut down and I even tried activities that previously caused it. Thanks for the suggestions.

OK....I've taken the bottom panels and blew out the dust bunnies that were there. I will try pushing the box and see if the problem reoccurs.

I have a Serval Performance laptop (Serp4?). That has started to have significant problems that I know are hardware related. Whenever I push the laptop hard (e.g. video rendering, importing 6000...

I did as suggested and during one of the passes it powered off.

Also on another note, originally I was running 8.04 and was having some issues anyways so I upgraded to 8.10 but the upgrade did not...
