dpkg was not present on my system.

The reinstall command didn't work. (Got the error that no suitable install sources were found)

I've reinstalled the system from scratch.

This happens because you removed Windows and install Ubuntu, then removed Ubuntu. The MBR sits in the start of your drive and points towards which partition to boot from. When you installed Ubuntu,...

BUMP.

I've been trying for the last many hours to install Linux 3.0.6 but the software center is completely and utterly broken.

In general, in fact, this OS seems incredibly broken. Canonical...

Nope. This returns:

Hard blocked: no

Thanks for helping btw. It's always easy to forget to say thanks, but I will now. :) I was...

It is now enabled, it was always in the 2.4GHz range but I just set it again for good measure.

Also, my router is an N router, but it is set to mixed.

It also doesn't sit there and act like...

It is, unfortunately.

However, I have no idea how to install alternative kernels.

In the meantime I'm working on it myself, and I found a file in /etc/modprobe.d called settings.conf with a...

Hi Ubuntu community.

After upgrading to 11.10, I can no longer access Wireless. My PC does recognize the card because:

lspci | grep Network

Hi Ubuntu community!

I'm in a bit of a predicament here, and I don't know how to fix it. Basically, the Ubuntu button in the top left corner is not showing up, and the global window title/global...

Hi. My computer has an ATi Radeon HD4650 and I'm having some slight issues with FGLRX.

Here's my glxinfo:

For a long time my wired internet connection has been spontaneously disappearing. It's working persistantly fine under Windows.

I don't know what's wrong with it, quite frankly, but the connection...

I suggest you contact Canonical right about now and ask if you can do this for Unity and Zeitgeist, so that people can go to the search field in the upper side of the screen and serach for "Launch an...

So I was merrily downloading ArchLinux to try it in VirtualBox, and a little over halfway there the wireless just shuts off. DOwnload speed goes down to 0 and here I am.

When I connect to the...

Hi Ubuntu community! =)

I've made sortof a copy of the Unity interface out of my gnome-desktop using DockBarX, the mint menu, and the global menu.

I've then done a minor modification: The side...

Hi Ubuntu community! :)

I'm a bit of a loss here because I can't find any guides on this and I don't really know where to start.

This is a PP2P/VPN connection and data encryption is disabled.

Adding that line didn't do anything.

So I'm using a couple of Java applications recently and I really dislike the way they look.

Examples could include:
Maple 14
MATLAB

Example:...

Start Firefox
about:config

Set:

network.dns.disableIPv6

from false to true

That key causes spasmic responsetimes in Firefox. I can't be sure it's this, but it was for me.

I also cannot make my computer hibernate, and if I try to put it to sleep when it's on critical power, it will continue waking up again until it runs so hard out of power it just dies.

Title describes the problem rather well. After selecting Linux 2.6.23-22-generic 64-bit in the GRUB bootloader, I am staring at a black screen with a white flashing underscore for almost 2 minutes...

Absolutely. Right-Click anywhere on the panel, then click Add To Panel. Find the Notification Area applet, then add it.

Poof!

I do.
I don't know how it got there, but I do.
Should I remove it?

EDIT:
In addition, I seem to have 16 packages installed from it, including several packages related to Evolution.
Have we...

I have marked this thread as solved because my laptop is basically back up and running completely now, but Evolution is still missing, and it cannot be installed due to an issue with existing...

I just got my display manager back with compositing by going to the laptop-mode website and reinstalling it. My system's now stable again.

Evolution's still gone though but I don't really want it,...

I have no idea what the hell just happened. I opened up my computer this morning, and the update manager ran within Plymouth and removed Evolution (and installed package Evolution-common, which...

Plymouth goes low res. There is a solution, but it doesn't really matter.

For the standby... I really don't know, that sounds weird! :|



Open a terminal.
cd to the folder you downloaded it...
