In Australia you basically have 3 options if you want to go further with Linux.

1. RedHat.
2. Novell.
3. Debian.

Novell is used by the NSW DET (Department of Education) with Windows. Most...

You do not need ndisgtk to have a working wireless. If you have successfully installed ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils all you need to do is go though this process.


Make sure drivers...

This may be the time they prove me wrong but so be it I'm going to say this anyway. Ubuntu has over the years shown it doesn't matter what the general membership believe, they will do what they want...

Read the thread, the intent is to initially remove them from public view on the 29th of this month, and then to remove them totally because the admin group think .... actually I'm not sure the admin...

This is the crux of the matter. What did the admin group shut down when the forums were having problems? The Cafe was one thing.

Exactly, I said it before this forum needs to decide if it is here...

To those who don't want them to disappear I would simply suggest you get a copy of what you want as soon as you can. My guess is the archives will be gone by the end of June.

I just did a search and even though this result is NOT in archives it indicates that either you are not looking very hard or Pytheas22 isn't keeping his thread up to date.

Then wouldn't Ubuntu...

No it isn't, see below.

Maybe your not looking hard enough or maybe you just don't care about ndiswrapper that much.

Some people ask questions again and again anyway and the standard response...

At the top of the Archive pages it says something like they are archives, if people cannot read that then they wont be able to handle Ubuntu anyway.

And removing information that still has value...

I don't post often now but I must say if you are going to lock or remove the archives then why would you give people free reign to post gibberish in the cafe. This forum needs to figure out if it a...

Unfortunately you are incorrect. You can edit any text file with a variety of editors if you know how to open it properly and the process for opening a system ("root") file is the same among editors....

Omar, gedit is a text editor, similar to Notepad and Wordpad in Windows.

The xml way (check my signature for how to do it with ease) is fullproof (or should I say foolproof). All you need to know is where your pictures are, what they are called, and how to use Gedit. If...

That is just a standard response if apt cannot locate something. Basically it is telling you to do some detective work to fix the issue.

Snark's advice to untick those repos will fix the problem...

Skype is available, I have it on my list and just tried my update and it worked without a hitch. Could you post your sources.list so we can see how it is formatted. You may have a bad entry that...

Thanks for that I'll link to the new post in the OP now. Just so people don't get confused and choose the wrong script it may be an idea if you edit the previous post. Also, it doesn't worry me cause...

You can attach your script in your next post of you wish and I will update the OP to let people know it's available.

I don't want to go to far off-track in tnis thread but I understand your desire...

I have tried a numerous times to reply to you but my net connection is slow as a wet week today.

You could try inserting those code lines into the xml file. I would try different positions within...

I really don't know the answer to this question and while I don't want to dismiss it out of hand I haven't got the time at the moment to try to figure out if it can be done. I think you'll need to...

It is relevant for Linux in general thats the beauty of Linux.

Bleachbit has its purpose and so does this method. This method cleans up Linux in general, bleachbit will clean everything you tell...

Do some more research. Google is your friend!

I know what I am saying is probably coming across as me being facetious but there are some things that do get unanswered here because others haven't...

Submit a bug report on Launchpad and follow any instructions given.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. No wonder people have high blood pressure.

This thread was marked solved by the OP because for them the issue they posted about was Solved. You are having, by your own...

Another item that is probably not needed by everyone is ALL the xserver-xorg-video-xxxxx (xxxx being the name of the driver) driver modules.

To find out what one you need, and therefor what ones...

Hi Joris, sorry for the very late reply. It's good that this worked for you, there does seem to b some problems for some people that unfortunately I am unable to copy.

Also thanks for th heads up...
