    Re: Acer AspireOne lost network icon

    Without an internet connection, I guess I will need to have the USB drive I used to install Ubuntu connected, right? Do I need to do anything special to make sure that the computer looks in that...

    Acer AspireOne lost network icon

    Suddenly I don't have the little icon at the upper right portion of the screen telling me if I am connected to a network. At first I didn't think that was a big deal, but I find that I can no longer...
  3. Re: Acer AspireOne with UNR can'y get Flash to work in Opera

    Man, thank you so much for the advice. I think we are on the right track, but I still can't get flash to work for me in Opera. I tried pasting both options you gave me into terminal, the first time...
  4. Acer AspireOne with UNR can'y get Flash to work in Opera

    For some reason I can't flash to work in Opera. I have verified that it is intalled in synaptic. I even re-installed it, and I have verified that it works in Firefox. I have made sure that plugins...
  5. Re: A series of questions/requests from a semi-noob

    Of course you are right. I guess I am just wondering why the truly brilliant people behind Ubuntu Linux don't seem interested in seeing the user experience through the eyes of idiots like me. Scratch...
  6. Re: A series of questions/requests from a semi-noob

    I know that makes perfect sense to you and most other experienced Linux users, but for people like me it is not that simple. For example, when I wanted to install Google Earth I had to download the...
  7. Re: A series of questions/requests from a semi-noob

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I understand that Medibuntu cannot initially be included, what I am saying is that there should be a button you click on that enables all that crap that...
  8. A series of questions/requests from a semi-noob

    First of all, I love, love, love, both the idea of Linux and the reality of Ubuntu Linux. I have played around with two or three releases of Ubuntu over the last year or two and I am fairly...
  9. Re: Could someone direct me to a tutorial for the Netbook Remix?

    Never mind. I feel pretty stupid. I just saw the "help" feature. I might be way too stupid for Ubuntu.
  10. Could someone direct me to a tutorial for the Netbook Remix?

    I just came back to Ubuntu on an Acer netbook. Things look great, but I am having a hard time adjusting to the new desktop or whatever. Anyway, is there a tutorial that I can watch or read that would...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    Nothing I have tried has worked. This is pretty frustrating.
  12. [ubuntu] Re: Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    There are indeed jacks for speakers and microphones back there. I am going to attempt to remove alsa, reboot, and put it back to see if that works.
  13. [ubuntu] Re: Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    I do not know much about the provenance of this computer. How likely is it that there actually is no sound card present?

    I feel like I am getting closer:
  15. [ubuntu] Re: Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    I get to here with the process:



    Where did I go wrong?

    Here are the results:



    Thanks again.
  17. [ubuntu] Re: Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    I am posting a screenshot with the error that came up when I tried the test.
  18. [ubuntu] Re: Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    So, does this mean that there is no card or that the system doesn't see the one that is there?
  19. [ubuntu] Re: Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    I have tried different websites that have audio. Honestly I had not put a whole lot of thought into how to test now that you mention it. What do you suggest?
  20. [ubuntu] Generic Desktop PC and can't get the speakers to work

    I have tried both usb speakers and standard stereo jack speakers. Is there a typical reason for this not to work?

    [ubuntu] Re: What is the deal with Firefox?

    It's OK, I just sort of hoped this was some kind of a known issue for which there existed an easy fix.

    [ubuntu] What is the deal with Firefox?

    It is constantly going to a sort of modified "full screen" mode where the screen resizing buttons dissapear and things sort of tend to freeze up and slow down. The only to fix it is to press F-11 to...

    [ubuntu] Re: opera not in synaptic?

    Well, I was able to do what you said without getting any weird error messages. Once that was done I went ahead and tried to open opera by coding "opera" in terminal. What I got was this:

    [ubuntu] Re: opera not in synaptic?

    Dude, I am to the point now where I can barely remember why I started this whole mess. I think it was because there were a couple of websites that were not rendering correctly in 9.5. Anyway the...
