Ditch the discreet GPU, much more interesting and learning-oriented to run everything by CLI.
Are these 2.5" or 3.5" drives? Are they externally powered or do they draw their power via the USB port?
My guess is that they're all 2.5" USB-powered drives, in which case they're probably...
Very nice, mind sharing a link for the wallpaper?
As Chili555 already mentioned, this is easier to do with dhcp reservations at the router level, but, so long as the address is outside the dhcp assignment range, setting a static IP in...
I've run OEM versions since XP and replaced tons of hardware on them. Only ran into the OS activation issue once when replacing a harddrive. Called the phone number given by the OS, customer service...
Given that s/he's just going for a clean OS install, let's not muddy the waters by over-complicating things.
Zeroing the drive is not necessary (again read, handy thing to understand) unless...
In the installer, you can delete all partitions on the drive and choose to use the entire drive for the new install. Much simpler (and less time consuming) than growing the existing filesystem into...
The "main bit" of the hard drive can't be formatted because it's mounted (that's the partition the OS is currently booted from).
If there is no data you wish to save, boot from the 12.04 USB and...
Has networking ever worked on this machine?
Please post the output of
sudo lshw -c network
and
Does it display the Dell splashscreen after you initially press the power button? If so, try pressing F2 to enter the BIOS and change the boot order to begin with the optical drive.
Even better, get one with Ubuntu already installed: http://system76.com.
Edit: Didn't know they only shipped to the U.S. and Canada. Ignore me. :)
Glad you got it sorted out. I was heading you in the direction of adding monitor refresh and sync to xorg when you disappeared last night. All roads apparently do lead to Rome though eh?

This is not a Mac forum, and your question would be better asked somewhere like MacWorld or xsellize.
The applications must be specifically compiled for iphoneOS.
If you install the mobile terminal, then you can use it to install downloaded debs via dpkg or to access apt directly using the repos...
This probably belongs in recurring discussions.
The good part is that it seems we're all going in the same direction.
And you said you already have an xorg.conf generated? Post it if you would:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If you're still stuck in the CLI, then you can use nano instead of VI. The commands are a little more straight-forward, just edit appropriately and use ctrl+x (answer yes to overwrite) to save your...
Some themes make the grippers invisible for aesthetics.
When you right-click on the gripper, make sure that "Lock to Panel" isn't checked before you go trying to move the item.
It should. If it doesn't, then you may need to change the boot order settings in the BIOS to make your optical drive the first device in the list.
xorg.conf has been deprecated entirely in recent releases. It will still be recognized if you create the file yourself though.
The terminal code in my last post will restore the gvfs-metadata folder to its rightful place.
It's not really strange, while the OS looks the same on the surface it is constantly undergoing,...
Well, I'm at a loss then. This is one of those grey area problems that could be caused by anything, and judging by the variety of bug reports that I've read, is hard to pin down to a singular source....
