  1. [ubuntu] Re: gnome-screenshot will not use Desktop as destination dir

    Well strange, that folder (~/Desktop/.fr-20GNNv/.../boot-screen/) existed and had a blank something.cfg file in it. I deleted .fr-20GNNv/ and I think it's all working now.

    [ubuntu] Re: Boot from CD-ROM, but install from USB?

    The specifications are definitely low, but it's the RAM that's the bottleneck. Using most text-based Linux live systems actually isn't intolerably slow, however. The CD-ROM itself and the drive both...

    [ubuntu] Re: File Transfer: HFS+ to NTFS

    That would probably be a better workaround, but I just ran the rsync job one more time and it finally worked.
    So, copying from HFS+ (journalled) to NTFS is not fun, and the entire transfer went...

    [ubuntu] File Transfer: HFS+ to NTFS

    This is a rather unfortunate situation and is far from ideal, but I don't have control over the circumstances exactly.

  10. [ubuntu] [12.10] Suspend to RAM Blank Screen on Resume - Lenovo IdeaPad Z575

    I'd been using Ubuntu 10.10 on my IdeaPad Z575 since I obtained it last March, and with a fair amount of hacking I got fglrx and my wireless working. Suspend worked out of the box.

    HOW does your suspend/hibernate work?

  13. [SOLVED] Re: Guide: Ubuntu AMD Hybrid/Switchable Graphics (APU/GPU) (C2.2)

    Alright, well I'm glad it seemed to work out for you. You mentioned that 3D didn't work and you hadn't installed proprietary drivers; while this may work, I recommend you do install AMD's drivers or...

    I have the same problem on my A6-3420M. Though when I use the frequency scaling applet in GNOME, the CPU also only goes up to 1.5 GHz. How can this be fixed?

  18. [SOLVED] Re: Hybrid Graphics Issues: Lenovo IdeaPad Z575 (A8-3420M/6550M)

    right, it's true that the GPU *worked* without extra drivers, except the discrete (power-hungry) one was used by default, and 3D acceleration didn't work, so it was basically a more power-consuming...
