Does anyone know? I have 9.04 as originally installed on my Dell netbook. It works great and I hate to change it although I realize I will have to one day. I do not see anything on the Ubuntu site as to an end of life date - it could be next month.
I have a HP laptop which can support 1600x900. But after I install ubuntu 9.10 on it, it can only support up to 1280x700. My laptop has a Nvidia graphics card. And i am using GNOME as my desktop environment.
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
I'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.
I need a textbrowser with Javascript Support. I have compiled the elinks stable 0.11x and the unstable 0.12x version mit JavaScript Support (js moz dev). Both browsers can be started and showed websites normaly. But no javascript, even simple tests like [URL] failed. I started elink with ./elink and typed then the url.
I am trying to find a good text based email client for an older machine, which will not run the GUI correctly due to min. hardware; however, I want to be able to use it with Text based email clients.Can anyone recommend a good text based email client that supports TLS/SSL for securied connections for IMAP, or even POP3?Does MUTT support SSL/TLS?
I need USB support in Virtual Box for some windows programs that do not run in Ubuntu. I forgot about the OSE version not supporting USB. Has anyone loaded virtual box on 10.04 and if so, which version should I download for my simple 386 machine. Will 9.10 version work?
I noticed lately the main chat client inserted in the new versions of Ubuntu is Empathy, rather nice, and I saw some very nice integrations in gnome-shell. Only one problem with it, no Off-The-Record (OTR) support, and no interest in implementing it. I am not sure how many of you out there are using it (OTR), but I basically love it, and I feel more safe when I use it. I like Empathy very much, but I do not understand the lack of interested of the developers for implementing such a great feature.
I have made this article, because I just want to do my part, as others did in filing bug reports, and making complaints to introduce this great feature to Empathy. If you want this feature in Empathy there are some places where you can make your voice heard: [URL]...
I know it says there they started to work on it in 2009, but after that no sign of development, basically for me it was just something to calm people down, and make them stop asking for this feature.I did not like the forced removal of pidgin, and the "you can use it, but we are not support it" excuse, but I learned to live with it, and adapt. I admit I am unable to code an otr plugin for Empathy or I would,
Is it possible to get multi-seat support so several people can use the same desktop at the same time? For collaboration I'd prefer different pointers on the same desktop session.
I installed ubuntu netbook remix on a very old laptop. in the end of installation, the cd drive just broke and not usable again.the ubuntu is installed but extremely slow, I want to try to install something else like wattos or puppy.the problem is - no cd drive, no boot from usb support in bios. only floppy.I tried to go to grub and boot from the usb, but it doesn't find the usb drive..(is it possible to make a bootable floppy that will allow me to boot from usb drive?)
Does Linux support USB Printers? I noticed under add printer it shows Lpt#1, Serial Port #1, Serial Port#2,Other and Network Printer but no USB. Is there something that needs to be installed to have USB Printer support? USB is the standard connection type of most printers theses days and only high end printers have Ethernet and I don't think any modern printer still uses a parallel or serial port.
I know a lot of discussion has been made about this issue, but I cannot seem to find an answer that works. I have used VirtualBox for a few years and just adding the user to group vboxusers used to work.Before that I had to add the user to usbusers or something like that. Now niether completely work.I say completely, because the only usb device available for use is my printer nothing else. Here is what I have done: added 'user' to the group vboxusers (gave me usb printer access but nothing else)
-attempted an old fix involving mounting /proc/dev/usb/ (or something like that) and get an error that that file does not exist ran virtualbox with sudo with full functionality (just to see)
I swear I was using this about 6 months ago with no issue. I also have installed extensions pack, and need to say I have tried every forum suggestion I could find before coming here.
I'm running Linux Mint 8 Helena (based on Ubuntu 9) and I bought this USB to VGA device. Of course it works with XP but when I re-boot to LinuxMint I get nothing on the external monitor.The device is a StarTech USB2VGAE2, if anyone has any suggestions how I can make this work it'd be much appreciated. I've searched online & can't find a driver.I bought it because the external VGA output on my laptop doesn't work.
I use gedit for most of my document editing and reading. But if I need to open a document thats in either the rtf or doc format, I end up having to open up OpenOffice (which takes a while on a netbook). Not to mention I have to use up precious disk space with OO.o installed. So I ask, is there anyway to add support for those two documents types?
Can a 32 bit karmic koala 9.10 support 4gb of ram. i donut want to get 64 bit because of the compatibility problems. so i am wandering can a 32 bit ubuntu run 4gb ram with it?
I am currently running Kubuntu 9.1, quite happily (triple booting macbook with snow leopard and Windows 7). I would like to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, but I have a few questions first. Correct me if I am wrong, but Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with the K Desktop Environment, no? So if I were to wipe my partition and install Ubuntu 10.04, I could then install the K Desktop Environment and have Kubuntu 10.04? (sudo apt-get install)
I have been trying to find a way to "see" my kubuntu partition while booted into either mac osx or windows. My kubuntu is currently using the ext4 filesystem though, and there are no drivers to make this work... Is it possible to install Kubuntu onto a filesystem other than ext2/3/4? Ideally I would like to install it onto NTFS, but i know in previous distros (6.1, 7.1) this was not possible. FAT 32 would work for me too,as my partition is only 15gb. Or does anyone know of any drivers for ext4 for mac and windows?
I plugged in my jailbroken ipod touch (firmware 3.0), and I can get my pictures off it, but not my music. I do have the plugins installed, but rhythmbox just isn't recognizing my music.
I have just purchased an AMD Phenom II 1055T 6 Core CPU to replace my aging CPU. The problem is only 1 core is visible to Ubuntu, Does it actually support 6 cores?
I have been trying to convince myself to install ubuntu 10.04 64BIT because it's just perfect,, and i used to use windows and i used virtual keyboard alot cuz i need to type in my language sometimes and it's Thai,as you know i can't get a hardware keyboard that has Thai letters on them , i live in Oman,,so iused Virtual keyboard.And What i want to request is that is there anybody can figure anything out if there is a virtual keyboard for Ubuntu?
I've been trying to get lucid to work on my gateway netbook. The major problem I've seen is that it would overheat (to about 63 C or a little higher, and then the display would go crazy and crash. My BIOS doesn't support cpu scaling. Somewhere in a google search, someone mentioned the 2.6.34 kernel. I had no ideal what I was doing, and I installed this kernel. (could not install headers -- a dependency issue I didn't understand). Tried it, and it booted.
Saw some errors, like timer or something not found and something about a soft reset. However, it boots, and it works, and the temperature is much better (at least for the last 42 minutes: I've not been able to run it that long before). Are those errors likely to cause problems? Are there any issues I should be aware of using a non-standard kernel like this? I am dual booting with 9.10, which works well, and all my serious work is on the 9.10 partitions.

As I write, temp is still at 56, but I am getting some intermittent display problems. Should I give up on lucid?
I installed ubuntu (latest version) but I can't use my Logitech MX5500 Revolution Desktop (it uses bluetooth). The problem started right within the installation, I couldn't use mouse or keyboard.
How can this be? I don't think, that it needs additional drivers, it's working fine in the BIOS etc.
There are some of applications that ship with ubuntu that do not have proxy support. I am a university student and I need to access internet behind a proxy server. But as some of the applications have no proxy support, I have to install alternate applications to do the same job.
Some of these applications are : Ubuntu Software Center, Gwibber, Empathy.Is there any program which can create direct connection to internet so that there is no need to specify proxy settings explicitly for each application? Is this kind of thing possible?
10.04 doesn't support my father's computer. I always have to switch between 4.1 surround sound and 5.1. After I change a song, or watch another video, it only plays static, then I have to go into sound preferences and change it again, until the next song. I didn't have this trouble in 9.04 on his computer. The problem now is, he actually replaced windows with Ubuntu this time, so he wants everything to work. So what software was installed in 9.04 and how do I get it to 10.04?
