If you use proxy or firewall, don't forget to open port 53.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] dual boot
You can set 2 hard disks for booting options in a grub. The easy way, just activate the hard disk that you want to use via BIOS and disable the other one. So, you don't have to setup any Boot Loader in your main hard disk.

Thanks a lot Mac, I read in the Ubuntu Forum, the toshiba A200/5 series got problem with the sound cards driver. Even, I've downloaded from Intel website and compiled the ALSA, but still can't get the sound. I though it's caused by the hardware so I tried with my Laptop original Vista DVD recovery. Everythings work. Then, I installed again the Gutsy.. now still trying...

The current version of free Virtual Box still doesn’t give a support for access your USB. But you can make a trick. Just use the ‘Shared Folder’ to mount your USB to your VirtualBox. So, you can access the USB from both your Ubuntu and your other OS in the VirtualBox at the same time. http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/10/27/access-your-usb-drive-from-virtual-box-in-ubuntu/ Taufan Lubis www.taufanlubis.wordpress.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] SIS 630/730 PCI/AGP VGA Display adapter
I used newer version of SIS. VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP I got this problem when I used OpenSuse10 in my laptop. When I change to Ubuntu Feisty (Now I use Gutsy) I never have this problem any more. The setting that I use is: Resolution: 1024x768 Refresh rate: 60Hz Rotation: Normal When I try to increase the refresh rate I got the same problem with you.
