Hello everybody!:p

My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5315. I have three partitions on my hard drive: Tiny Core is installed on sda1, sda2 is swap, and sda3 is Debian. I am using LILO as the boot loader,...

No, it doesn't help at all. I am more confused than ever.

That's what I did. I logged in using the SSO, then I tried to change my password. It said it was ok, password updated. Then I tried to log in using the new password, it says "Bad Bot! Go away" and...

I am trying to change my password at Ubuntu Forums but it won't let me. Is there anything wrong with this software?

Thanks to praseodym: your recipe worked beautifully. I just tested it, and all is working flawlessly: WEP, WPA and WPA2.

As to gordintoronto: Thanks but no thanks. I never really understood why a...

I changed from WPA to WEP and now it works. Definitely, Ubuntu 8.04 has trouble with WPA. Yea, now I remember, in the old house, the wireless network was WEP encrypted.

After a lot of tweaking, I am convinced this is an encryption problem. It works fine with an unencrypted network, but when I try either WPA or WEP, it has trouble connecting. But the problem is, I...

I use Ubuntu 8.04 on my Acer Aspire 5315 laptop. I cannot upgrade my system, because my hardware won't accept any Ubuntu newer than this one.

I have xsane 0.995 on Hardy Heron. I try to scan an image, and whatever is white shows up as blue, yellow shows up as green, etc. I never had this problem before. I tried to reinstall the package, no...

Well, I don't know what happened, but the problem with said website stopped. I think they corrected it themselves.

I did:

$ aptitude show bleachbit
E: Unable to locate package bleachbit

Yes, I did this, and I really have a 64 bit processor, but a 32 bit Ubuntu installed on my hard drive.

Thanks again,

Yes, this answers my question. Thanks a lot.
