I have an older laptop with a strange display issue. If I have an external monitor connected via VGA when starting X, the laptop's screen displays correctly. Without an external monitor connected,...

Problem still presists for me when using the irqpoll parameter.

I'm running 32bit ubuntu-minimal with an AMD Phenom II X2 555 processor. From the partial stack trace, it looks like it crashes when initializing my sata harddrive. I get the same results from the...

Sorry, I should have updated sooner. RTL8192SU was dropped from the kernel some time ago and is now replaced by r8712u. This is included by default and supports F7D1101 out of the box. All you need...

I finally got this running! Installed using the fixed installer from previous post. Then I copied the missing Default.ini and DefUser.ini to ~/postal_fudge_pack/postal2game/System as in the bug...

That sounds more like a grub problem to me, but I could be wrong.

Throw in your install cd, and boot up in rescue mode. This will land you at a root shell. Run "uname -r" and record your kernel...

I know it is a stretch, but have you tried opening your terminal and running "sudo chmod -R 777 {path to mount point}"? You might also try running thunar from the terminal to see if it spits any...

These are some python scripts to quickly convert playlists between Rhythmbox and Exaile. This was the best way I could come up with to transfer large playlists, and it turned out to work very well...

This is old and inactive, but I thought I'd share the solution. The error message is memory related as I originally guessed. I was running 256MB PC-133 SD x 2 and getting crashes no matter what I...

Here is the terminal command for Debian(Ubuntu is Debian):

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it uses the common Realtek RTL8139 chipset. If you provide the hardware id(ven and dev), the proper driver would be very easy to locate for you.

- Can I install Windows 7 on the old XP partition?

Yes, you can. I'd format just for the ease, but booting into Linux and deleting files installed by WinXP has worked fine for me in the past. You...

I have two computers that I have been using to test a Kernel panic that has recently popped up after I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.10 base system and added the polipo and museekd daemons. I have reproduced...

I'm unsure what your setup is like but I have never had too much trouble with Warcraft w/ online play on any of my Linux boxes.

First thing to try:
Make sure you are launching it with the...

You may have to re-enable the Intel driver with the first part of that post and you may benefit from the i855 specific fix that is mentioned after the Intel upgrade. My i845 is still working great...

I'd definitely go for 10.10. Try both the updated intel driver by itself, and with the patch. I am testing the updated 2.13git driver on my i845, and so far it is better then it has been since they...

Been reading up on my networking options. Looks like I want to use a network bridge to mesh the two private networks, then I should be able to access both gateways on either network. Hope it works.

With my home network, I am using wireless router that is connected to the internet, my headless server, and three other computers wirelessly. My goal is to add a second source of internet to the...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This method does not work on any recent kernels(11.4+) as RTL8192SU was dropped in favor of r8712u. This new driver is even more stable and works...

I had the same issue with a sixaxis controller with lucid. The main problem as far as I could tell is that buttons are axises too, so when you press one button you are pressing three. I resolved it...

Which app are you trying to use? The default in Ubuntu is vino. I tried it on my headless box, but no dice. From what I read, vino requires X to be started and for you to be logged in for it to work....

temporarily reducing your desktop resolution to something closer to the resolution of the video you are trying to play will greatly reduce cpu load and poorly rendered video, especially when your on...

ok, it got sent back. on the bright side we have one more ubuntu user and i now have a backup video card :guitar:

my window of opportunity to extract information about why my friend's ati card causes kernel failures is closing. is there anyway to record these failures from live cds? or even an installed system?...

[ubuntu 9.04 32bit] dgen from the ubuntu repos also gives me segmentation faults. it will usually load a rom for a couple of seconds and then crash. i tried multiple configurations. my work-around...
