At work all of our systems are behind a windows proxy server. The proxy server requires user account and password in encrypted form. I have had many problems trying to get apt-get to work through the...
I was able to get the alt-tab working properly with Gnome 3 Classic (with effects) by following post #10 by mc4man in the following thread:...
I believe you can run a memory test using the Ubuntu boot CD. Do that also.
A few thoughts...
Test the system using only the Ubuntu 9.10 Live Boot CD? -running from CD ROM drive. Everything should work perfectly without the hard drive in the system.
Are you selecting...
I always go with AMD. You can not beat the price and the performance is incredible. Nvidia video is also recommended. ATI video should be improving as well very soon because of the open-sourcing of...
Apple is great at marketing. They can always find fools to dump money their way on fancy stuff that really does not do anything special. Cool advertisements, sexy, cool looks, cool buzz, ridiculously...
I never do a distribution upgrade from one series to the next. How do you know what you have when you are done? I would not do this for Windows either--never. Not with any system.
A complete...
Consider installing only Ubuntu on the machine. Use the entire hard drive for Ubuntu and drop Windows completely. Egad you must have spent so many hours with this thing trying to deal with Windows...
Did you try the Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit version or the 32 bit version? The Y530 is Core 2 Duo, so you should be able to run the 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10. Perhaps try a fresh install using 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 one...
This looks like a problem I was having on an older system with the Geforce MX 440. Please refer to my Post #37 on this page. I think it will help:...
I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an older system with a multi-sync monitor--a Viewsonic "PF790". I had an older nvidia adapter on that system. For some reason the nvidia install did not give me a monitor...
Why do you want to set the root password? I never have needed to do that on any system. If you want to run as root, then use sudo. You should never need the root password or a root desktop. If you...
Interesting problem. I do not see the same on my Ubuntu 8.04 system. If I have another user logged into a tty, then plug in USB thumbdrive while my desktop is active then I own mount point like so:

Read the Windows EULA. Read the license agreements for all of the software you use on your Windows system. Try to understand what they say you can not legally do.
..Then read the GPL. It will...
You need to get hardware that can provide network connection to your Ubuntu system. You are wasting your time without that. Get a WAN router attached to your ISP, so you can then attach any PC system...
That sounds like a problem. What is owned by marta? The files on the device or the actual device mount point /media/disk-1/. ?
If you plug in the drive while you are using the desktop, and no one...
I was adjusting one of the settings in sane. I think it was the scanmode. After changing it I started getting this message. I tried changing it back, but no matter what I did I kept getting the error...
I am not a video expert, but wouldn't you want to record straight to MPEG file format? That way you would not have to capture video at all. You just download the MPEG file from camera over USB to...
NEVER ever work on a PC that is plugged into a live power outlet. Always unplug it. If you are worried about grounding then get a grounding strap on both you and the PC chassis. It is generally...
Can you use the wire connection on your Router? Will that work?
Set up the Windows box with a simple guest fileshare that does not require a password--as a test. Then on the Ubuntu box use Places -> Connect To Server
Select "Windows Share" from the pull-down...
Great job on the sketches Rainstride.
Separating components is a good option, however, it does cost more. If you have separate components and the gateway server fails, then you can still have your fileshares up and running on the other...
What does your network look like?
Do you have a router, cable modem, gateway server?
How are the devices arranged? Even when you say it is fast with DHCP, it actually sounds very slow (5 seconds to...
