I'm a newbie user of Ubuntu Natty, having this wifi wireless dongle that seems to work best with kernel 2.6.36. Is there a way to get it from repos through Synaptic or apt and how, or do I have to compile it myself?

Since the last kernel update to 11.2 64bit portions of my video does not work right in windows XP running in either Vmplayer or Vbox. The effect is felt with my Webcam - picture is either garbled or blank not responsive at all. all other video functions in my VM's and Suse seem OK! can I revert or set my kernel back to its prior state? If so how? Also I have both "default" and "desktop" kernels - the problem is the same in each. If I can move the kernel back to its state prior to most recent update can I do it to just one of the kernels to see if it solves the problem?

Since I'm dumb.... I've installed with rpm -Uvh kernel* so now I've loose the latest stable fedora kernel...
I've tried to manually download kernel but when I try to install it complains because it's older then the current installed.
How can I restore to kernel 2.6.29?
I used to have 2.6.34-12-default kernel. Recently I downloaded and installed 2.6.35.1-1.1 DEBUG kernel. Because I cannot either use pre-compiled packages or compile new package from source, I want to go back to 2.6.34-12-DEFAULT kernel.

The update was a new kernel:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Logitech marble mouse (trackball, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lo...arblemouse_USB) which works great under HAL in Ubuntu 9.10. For me it is simply not as usable without HAL, because it doesn't appear to be possible to have a button assigned to more than one thing.
With HAL, you can click the back button on the trackball to go 'back', e.g. in Firefox, Nautilus, or you can hold down the same button to use vertical and horizontal scrolling with the ball (as opposed to the normal mouse movement when the button is not held down). You can also get a 'middle mouse' press by clicking both left and right buttons at once. restore HAL to the boot process so I can regain this functionality? Or is it not possible? It would be just as good if I could get this same functionality without HAL, but I don't see how that can be done using xorg.conf.
I accidentially replaced default file manager Nautilus with Gnome Commander and now when browsing other hard drives or devices throught Places menu it opens in Gnome Commander. How can I revert to Nautilus?

I bricked the machine several times applying the bulk auto updates after the initial install so this last time I applied the updates in smaller batches,, I believe the problem is associated with some of the open GL stuff,, any way to

B) anyway to permanently mark an update to never come in?

How do I do it? I only installed the packages from ubuntu and not the whole thing from the cd.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI made a usb install drive on a mac by following the instructions on the ubuntu download page, but had problems getting the GRUB loader to run the USB at boot on the DreamLinux PC i wanted to install it on, so I have now sorted access to a CD writer to make a liveCD.
However I need to convert the USB FDD back to just a regular FDD for my mother to use. I am not at all familiar with Macs, or the terminal utilities (though I am able to use the terminal to some degree) so would appreciate help with this procedure or a pointer to some steps to do it.
Currently the drive is named Ubuntu 10.04 LTS when it mounts on mac, before the img write it was just untitled, I cannot delete the ubuntu files from it or write new ones, and I don't know how to do a reformat on a mac.
I need he drive to be able to work again with windows and mac... so will need to reformat to FAT32 I guess?
I'm using VLC in ubuntu 10.10. May problem began when I DL and changed the skin of my VLC media player. After installing the new skin, the gui doesn't work. I can't open the preferences and change the skin settings from there.
I've tried removing and re-installing VLC but, when I install it, it remembers the old skin on which I got that problem. I've tried deleting the vlc files in "/var/cache/apt/archives" and "/var/lib/dpkg/info" but, it still remembers the previous setting on which I got the this problem.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I installed and messed around with startupmanager. Now I get status text when I startup, shutdown, and resume from suspend.
I have "show text during boot" disabled. And I tried turning "show boot splash" on.
How can I get the default behaviour?
I would like to know how I can get the backspace button on my laptop keyboard to revert to the previous page I was viewing.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI formatted my sandisk 8gb sdhc card and partitioned it to 2gb partitions so that it would work in my cell phone well that didn't work so I tried to do it another way and I set some of it to empty 00x00 and now it obviously won't work and I cannot reformat and partition it back into an 8gb card with just the one partition. I tried all sorts of things to revert the dang thing but have not been able to get it to do anything but stay broken. I hope that I haven't ruined the thing and need to change it back to the way it was. Each time I have tried to change it back it just goes back to empty 00x00 and I tried to use windows as well to format the partition and it won't even recognize it at all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI upgraded U. 9.04 to 9.1 over the net a few days ago and got stung by the 'Driver' issue. Namely, my nvidia card is not reconciled and as a result, the monitor remains blank. I am assuming that the remainder of the upgrade went o.K. though I can only follow the boot sequence on the monitor during the bios start up.
I have a live disk of U. 9.04 and want to revert back to it, preserving my data. When I put in the disk and am hopefully asked if I want to "Upgrade", will it work in reverse, so to speak. I understand that there is a problem with compatible libraries etc. but will it ignore this and simply replace the new with the old?
Since m computer updated FF to 3.6.x FF runs really slowly if a page with java/js or flash opens. It gets so slow I can hardly use it at all. This is a known problem that many people are complaining about, as seen here:

I would like to depreciate back to 3.5.8 or 3.5.9 until this issue is resolved, as currently this is preventing me from working the internet on my websites, etc. How can I get a previous version of Firefox to install? Using Jaunty 9.04
