Hi. I sent a message yesterday saying my (4-month-old) Linux Certified
laptop had died. However, I tried it again this morning and saw a brief
flashing cursor prompt (like the one you get briefly during Ubuntu
closedown), followed by a blank screen. This happened three times, then
it gave up. W
Does anyone know how to get the RSS feed URL needed to put into to
Gwibber so I could use Gwibber to monitor my friends status updates?
Google has resulted in lots of suggestions, but what these say should be
on the facebook page just isn't, so I'm confused!
Regards,
Tony.

Hi. My 'Linux Certified' (Compal JHL-90) just died on me. First the
display froze, then when I force-restarted it, it wouldn't go past the
first Intel splash screen (with no boot options strip at the bottom),
and now it just generates no display at all, though the screen is
backlit normally. Th
Hi,
I was feeling a bit annoyed at adobe today, and especially that when you
google for rtmpdump these days you just get a bunch of blog entries and
a dead sourceforge site, So I decided to create a launchpad project for
rtmpdump [1].
For those of you that don't know, rtmpdump is a utility used b

Ah well, done it now, but I suspect it was the ability to keep the
home directory was what I had heard and made me think it wasn't
required

I did the same, bought a replacement before finding out about Goodies, thought
the repair cost was very reasonable, always good to have a spare monitor
around. Repair items must be properly packed, if you dont have the original
monitor packaging, Goodies will advise. They are used by several mon
Thanks for the suggestion, however I've already bought a new monitor!
Just to clarify, the monitor turns on, and there is an LED that
responds to the DVI/VGA input, ie it changes colour when it goes to
sleep mode, and changes back to green when you wiggle the mouse.
So there is hope.

Sounds like you might have a monitor with a power supply problem, Goodies
Enterprise, of Bedford, collect courier, repair, deliver for a fixed fee which
wil be around the half the cost of cost of a new monitor. Good firm, who repair
a range of electronic equipment.
Hope info helps, regards, Mich

Hi,
I had an LCD screen go on me. It's a 19" generic LCD that worked fine
right up until it wouldn't display any images. It has DVI and VGA.
I suspect the backlight has gone and may be an easy fix for someone.
