Hiya,
I've been using 7.10 since the beta, and have obviously installed every
update that it offered. At the moment, Update checker reports no
updates. Just to check, I won't gain anything if I reinstall from the
final CD, will I?
Last time I rebooted (which was before the final release) a GRUB m
Hi,
Is anyone else having problems with the speed of evolution on Gutsy?

Daniel

Hi, I've just noticed whilst looking at the mailing list site and viewing
this months emails sorted by thread, that emails sent by me aren't threading
under the message I'm replying to.
Can anybody help me with this? I'm using gmail, so could I have a setting
wrong?
I'm sure this has been covered
That's interesting. On my X31 (great laptop) the Fn-F5 combo does

Upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy. apt, Firefox and Evolution refuse to
recognise network connection. Had the same problem with Etch and with Debian
and never did solve it, depite picking everybody's brains. Have used either

Good point about the returns - what support, if any, are Tesco's offering?
Maybe a quiet word with the store manager and a note left with the customer
services desk with details of how to contact the local LUG or us? This goes
back to a posting summer time about duplicating the Ohio Support

I've used it in Feisty. When you're finished with the temporary user
account, you issue an oem-config-prepare command as root and shut the
machine down. The next boot takes you (ie. the end user) through a
config wizard to create a user, set the timezone etc.

What model is your laptop? With my ThinkPad I can turn off various
internal devices including the Wireless adapter. In Windows it's a
checkbox to switch on and off but in Ubuntu I have to send commands to
ACPI files in /proc. I believe there are several laptops that work in

I've had great success with Atheros based cards on Ubuntu. I've had a
Belkin Cardbus adapter that was an Atheros 5004 and worked perfectly in
Edgy and Feisty. My current card is an Atheros a/b/g (although MiniPCI
not PC card but in my experience they work just the same) and works very
well in Feist

Afternoon All
I'm in the process of researching for a USB Headset for use with VoIP on
both Windows and Linux.
The last time I looked into this, one of our techys at work said that some
headsets suffered from low volume into the ear piece and in a noisy
environment were hard to hear.

Err, I know this sounds daft, but what happens if you contact the
manufactuers directly and say "I'm running Linux kernal 2.whatever, which of
your cards will work?"
Perhaps, if they actually want to make the sale, they do have a
compatability list or am I being a bit naive?
