No heavy CPU usage when restoring from minimized and a general performance boost were the results of that use.But recently made an upgrade and realized that xserver-xorg-core package (check it from synaptic manager) has been upgraded to a jaunty-proposed version and the problems started to appear again!So using Synaptic I selected this package and hit CTRL-E key in order to choose the nobackfill version. This way things got back to normal!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have both Jaunty and Windows XP installed on my laptop (dual boot), and I have successfully tethered (via Bluetooth) my cellphone in Windows, but can't get tethering to work in Jaunty.
In Windows, when I paired my phone with my laptop using Bluetooth, Windows assigned two COM ports for Bluetooth to use. Then I configured dial-up networking, and all I had to specify was the dial string (*99**1*1#). Windows treats my cellphone as if it were a modem connected via a serial port. Works great.
When I pair my phone to the laptop when running Jaunty, I don't ever see serial ports getting configured as I do in Windows. And I've read that when the Bluetooth pairing takes place in Ubuntu, the networking wizard should start, but it does not. So, I go into network connections and create a new connection under the MOBILE BROADBAND tab (I check "connect automatically"). When I'm finished creating the connection, it says "never" to the right of the connection name, but I'm not sure what that is indicating. When I left-click the network manager icon on my desktop, it does not show any connections from which I can choose. I have no Internet connectivity.
I have proved that the Bluetooth link between Jaunty and my cellphone IS working. I have been successful sending files from my phone to Jaunty, using Bluetooth.
Am I going about setting up tethering incorrectly ?
I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 with Nvidia GeForce 8200M graphics card. When I first installed Windows 7 followed by Karmic in dual boot I could boot into both OS. Now when I try to boot into Windows, it displays the Windows logo and then drops back to the grub menu. It may have started happening after Windows 7 installed updates. I tried reinstalling both Windows and Karmic again and it again worked initially but now Windows no longer boots. Does anyone have any suggestions about what may be causing this or how I can fix the problem without reinstalling?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to Linux, but have had a bit of functional tutoring. i'm triple booting my old Dimension 8400. Have been running with Jackalope and XP for some time now and wanted to install Lynx and get a good handle on it before i completely wipe my other machine (Win7/Jackalope) and install it there.
Installed Lynx from a USB stick and all seems well, it recognises the UBS wireless and all available connections but just sits and spins on the password login and never connects...hmmm. I have tried all possible combinations of rebooting with the USB connected/disconnected/connecting after... to no avail.
The wireless seems to "work out of the box" just as seamlessly as it did for Jackalope, all the steps are similar, it just never connects.
i have ubuntu, no dual-boot. how do i go back to windows? just pop in the windows cd and boot from there?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI seem to have gotten a bit overzealous and gotten myself into a problem. I've managed to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Compaq CQ50 Laptop so that it dual-boots with Windows Vista. Everything initially was working fine - Vista and Ubuntu worked side by side pretty well, and it all seemed hunky dory, until I shot myself in the foot. Basically, whenever the computer was booting I would first see the Windows Boot Manager, followed by the GRUB boot manager when Ubuntu was selected. Since both boot loaders had options to boot into the other OS, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to set Windows Boot Manager to 0 seconds display time, thus removing one small step in the booting process. Unfortunately, now when I choose to boot into Windows via GRUB, it briefly flashes up with the Windows Boot Manager and then kicks back to GRUB, and nothing I do seems to let me get back into Windows. I've tried booting from a Vista disk and using Bootrec /FixBoot, I've tried reinstalling GRUB and getting it to update its boot tables, I even tried installing LILO. So far, nothing seems to be working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had a fresh Windows 7 install on for a few days before taking the plunge with Ubuntu 10.04. It's great except I want to go back to Windows 7 to reformat by iPod with the Windows HD structure. The problem I have is that when I restart and I am presented with the options of whether I want Ubuntu or the safe mode for Ubuntu or Windows 7 to boot I can't use the arrow keys on my keyboard to scroll down to select Windows. The arrow keys don't work.
The keyboard works fine with the computer. And the Esc, F12 keys etc work to access the bios but not to scroll down and select my boot choice. The keyboard is a silver mac one with the keypad [URL] I've tried searching for the right drivers for the keyboard in case that's it and I've searched these forums and google to no joy.
I hope everyone is doing great. I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop which came with Windows 7 preloaded. How I did it is that I created a new parition for Ubuntu on the same harddisk which had windows installed on a separate parition and installed Ubuntu on the new parition and made it the primary partition. The windows is still lying on its own partition.how to get windows working as well without loosing the Ubuntu installation.
View 9 Replies View RelatedBack in July I bought an Acer Aspire ONE KAV60 with Xubuntu installed on it. I used to run Linux a long time ago but had not messed with it for a couple of years and I was surprised to find out how much more "user friendly" Linux had gotten (With Ubuntu anyways). There are more and more GUI programs/processes now days which makes everything easier to do, however there are a couple of things that I have found in the last few months running Linux only on my little netbook.
When I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid and installed it from the Xubuntu, I was quite satisfied with the general desktop setup and ease of the operating system. I loved it, it was like going from OS/2 to Win95 all over again! (I'm not that old, I just started young). Here recently, I ran into a little problem with 10.04 and had to re-format, but when I went to re-download it the new 10.10 was available instead. I threw it on a flash drive and installed it on my netbook only to have "problem after problem" upon installation and had downloaded and installed 10.04 from the archives in a matter of a few hours after messing with 10.10.
There were plus sides and down sides to both right off the bat. I am a nerd I suppose and I have started to play a game called Runescape. After installing 10.10, I opened up Runescape and was able to use the "Re-sizable" screen option! That's an amazing option with Runescape on a netbook. I then opened up my favorite and most used program suite called aircrack-ng. I had the apparently infamous problem titled "fixed channel mon0: -1" and was completely unable to get it working (even after reading the SOLVED article on here.) I spent probably 2 hours trying to figure out that problem and was unable to do so. I cannot be without the aircrack-ng suite so I decided to revert back as I fore mentioned.
Upon reverting back to Lucid LTS from the archives, I was happy with the smoothness of how it runs on my netbook compared to 10.10, but as soon as I logged onto that damn game Runescape, I was on a mission to figure out how to correct the "fixed channel mon0: -1" issue on 10.10 so I could have the re-sizable screen option again.
I finally figured out that I needed (from a fresh install on 10.10) to do apt-get install patch and apt-get install gcc before I could complete the steps of the SOLVED issue guide. This was never mentioned and it made me realize I still need to know what I'm doing if I'm going to run Linux and then maybe I won't have all these issues.
Out of all this, I have a couple of questions and would like to learn more about Linux so I do not have these problems in the future. Here are a couple of questions I would like to mention first: What is gcc? I had all that trouble just because I didn't know to install gcc to do the tutorial.
I believe the re-sizable screen option is available for me in 10.10 and not 10.04 because of Java. I did not have to install Java in 10.10 at all, I just opened up Runescape "out of the box". In 10.04, I use Sun Java with the apt-get command in Terminal. Does anybody have any information to confirm or deny this?
Once I got aircrack-ng working in 10.10, I was surprised to find out that it is amazingly fast compared to 10.04. I believe this has to do with drivers. I was able to use aircrack-ng (after install) "out of the box" with 10.04 so I did not download the "compat wireless" drivers that had to be used in 10.10 to get it to work.
If I were to revert back to Ubuntu 10.04 (I much prefer Lucid for my netbook, runs much better), would I theoretically be able to download a different Java and use the re-sizable option on Runescape? Would I also be able to use the "compat wireless" drivers in 10.04 to make aircrack-ng send and receive arp's and ack's so much quicker?
Last but not least, I would like some sources if possible to better learn Linux from. I mean Terminal type Linux, I do appreciate (as I said earlier) the new GUIs that are available now and I didn't have before, but I still feel the need to know my way around the system and I just don't have that knowledge.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 over Windows 7, getting rid of Win7. I have decided that I want to switch back to Windows 7, because of more compatibility. Windows 7 came pre-installed on my laptop. Is there any way I can recover it? I did a full install of Ubuntu 10.10.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was able to install Lucid Lynx 64-bit. I selected manual partitioning which I completed without complication.
I encountered several problems after installation:
I could not use my Radeon HD 5870 graphics card. Whenever I enabled it in the BIOS, the monitor would go to "sleep." When it was disabled and the onboard 4200 graphics card was used, everything was normal. Of course, this meant that I could not enjoy my PC gaming.
Next, I could not connect to the internet.
I searched for solutions and found one [here]. After I performed this procedure, I activated the ATI proprietary driver. I also had internet! Everything seemed great. I was about to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
When I rebooted and went to Windows to make sure everything was good on that end, I got the...wait for it...waaait for it...blue screen of death.
That's where I'm at. I'm extremely hesitant to do anything else at this point for fear of not being able to use Windows altogether (I need it for school). However, during the school break, I plan to re-format the HD because I don't see any possible solution to the BSOD. Using the Windows recovery disk availed nothing whatsoever.
Furthermore, since I don't have an actual Windows CD, and my recovery disk is not doing jack, that means I will be buying a Windows 7 Home Premium disc for $175. I wasn't expecting that when I installed Ubuntu. =(
I guess what I need to know is whether I can re-format my HD to the way it was pre-Ubuntu. That means, will I be able to delete the Ubuntu partitions?
Next, is there somewhere where the Ubuntu gurus go to learn all "sudo" codes? I know there are quite a few books out there on Ubuntu and Linux, but where does everyone get their knowledge? With Windows, you can go to the website tutorial or Microsoft itself. The only vast field of knowledge I've seen with Ubuntu is this forum and perhaps Linux forum, in addition to the books. I guess that's relatively equivalent, but I don't know, I guess I'm just disconcerted because I find myself plugging in codes which I am not familiar with.
I installed ubuntu for the first time, but then I used to get two boot options, "ubuntu" or "windows". So I loaded up windows and after googling a few things, managed to set ubuntu as the default option by going to system settings in windows and changing the boot options.
I am totally regretting this now, but I set the time limit to zero (ie load ubuntu without prompt) and now I can't get windows back? I have installed startup manager but the windows option on there "windows loader" does not work and does not bring it back (the screen stays blank until I have to restart).
I have had serious prob;lems with hardware in my laptop and since getting them rectified i have not been able to go back to windows 7, they wanted to charge me 70 just to reinstall it on my license. However i downloaded ubuntu and my first impression was wow this is amazing! however after using it for now about a week the only thing that works on it is firefox. i had this working on 7. fact that this is not a windows system anymore but i am getting to the point now of fronting up the �70 and going back as non of the games that i have will run through wine or Pol.
Even things that it states everywhere online run fine like steam and valve just does not work, well it does but as soon as you open anything it just closes the window. I am getting very frustrated with the whole thing and have concluded it must be me and not the interface that is making mistakes. i have read a few of the complete beginners guides, still non the wiser. so i guess my main question is this; can i expect my entire linux experience to be dogged by faults and failures at every twist and turn?
My friend borrowed my laptop for a while and when he gave it back he said he replaced Windows 7 with Ubuntu. I asked him to switch it back simply because I prefer Windows. He claims not to know how. I don't want to go buy a new windows 7 disc I just want to figure out how to get rid of this Ubuntu and Windows 7.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to go back to try Ubuntu again. I used to use it and I wanted to try it again. So I make a partition on my external hard drive to put Ubuntu in. I tried WUBI but that wouldn't work, so I downloaded it and burned it to a disc. I boot into the disc and install Ubuntu NOT on the partition I made. (It wouldn't install there). So it made it's own partition on my External Hard Drive. It installs, my computer restarts and the disc comes out.
My computer is booting up when a command line type screen comes up saying GRUB recovery or something along the lines. I can't do anything or get past it. So I restart my computer with the Ubuntu disc in, and it brings me back to the install menu like it never did anything. I looked in the Disc Utility and saw everything is still in it's place, so nothing happened. I really don't want to be stuck in this Try Ubuntu thing. I can give you all the information I can.

I have a dial-up 56k (no broadband available here) modem connection via ppp0 and a home LAN connection to two other systems through a DD-WRT set up router using eth0 wired and eth1 wireless. ppp and eth don't work to together. Something about DNS and resolv.conf resetting the DNS. I don't understand why it does this or how that system works or why it can't be worked around, but apparently it can't. I can dial into the Internet but if i was connected to the LAN before doing so I can't connect to any sites. The reverse with the LAN is also true. I have to shut down one or the other interface for the other interface to function correctly.
I've asked for help in these forums, specifically networking several times but seem to have hit the back hole of help when it come to issues for which their isn't a solution. I assume they think that if they ignore me I'll just go away, so I've moved to this forum hoping for better results.
In regards to my title question; if I switch to Window7(ugh!) or XP(groan!) will I be able to do these things. I'm sure there is someone with a dual boot system who can enlighten me to this. I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper and I did years ago have an Ethernet and ppp0 dial-up connection working together with ICS. I don't understand why doesn't it work now? OF COURSE if you have solution to my problem so it will work with my Ubuntu Lucid systems I'd be forever in your debit! I really don't want to return to using windows.
