• Question of P500 with 2nd external display via displayport

  Hello.

  I have a Thinkstation P500 with a Nivida Quadro K2200 running Ubuntu 14.04 - I have tried plugging in an additional screen via a Displayport-to-DVI dongle. I downloaded and installed the latest 346,96 drivers from Nvidia and when hang it to the top of the screen 2, can be seen on both the Nvidia X Server Settings (which I saved him), application of the system display and I can actually moved my cursor of mouse 'off screen' in the 2nd monitor - it's just that there is no signal at all from to the 2nd monitor... Running 'xrandr' shows that the 2nd monitor is connected via port DP-1...

  Is this a BIOS problem?

  Any help/pointers/suggestions/sarcastic useful comments received with gratitude...

  Aaron.

  Hi psuturtle, thanks for getting back to me on this...

  Bought separately, it's a StarTechcom DP - DVI dongle - must be something 'obvious' like that everything is working as if its there (and it's running I hasten to add).

  I'll give it a shot and hope for the best.

• Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Dual boot with Ubuntu based distributions

  _ * My specifications: * _
  * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
  * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)

  I would like to set up my computer to dual boot with Windows 8.1 (x 64) and Zorin OS 9.1 (64-bit).

  ZORIN OS is a derivative of Ubuntu which maintains a binary compatibility with Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu and Zorin use the same drivers and can run the same applications. John Damascene is more or less just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment and some additional preinstalled applications.

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  NOTE: I prefer to do things using graphical interfaces, rather than the CLI. I don't mind given CLI instructions; also just showed me the GUI equivalents if possible. I use the CLI if there is no alternative.

  Hello

  See my responses / comments among your questions (I took part of your message and inserted here):

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  Answer: If you want to dual-boot, do NOT select WSC as preventing Windows to start.
  You shouldn't have to disable startup secure either, but I can't promise that. I think that Ubuntu 14 has support for secure boot.

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  Answer: No, I don't think that there is a way to use the SSD in Zorin without making it unusable for Windows.
  Suggestion - let it be.

• DVD to Mini 1000 Mi with Ubuntu came with the Nero Vista/XP software

  My HP DVD arrived before my Mini 1000 Mi, so I plugged the DVD for my Asus 901 with Hardy Heron and no windows. The appearance of CD to read the works of DVD. However, the software that comes with the DVD specifies Vista and other recent Microsoft OSs. Look back to order the Mini 1000 Mi, I said 2 gig of ram, and a few screens later, was offered and chose the DVD burner.  Having already specified the version of Ubuntu Mini 1000, I assumed that the DVD would be fully functional with Ubuntu and the Ubuntu Mini 1000 Mi. In the meantime, I'm puzzled why HP embarquerions a DVD of Vista-software for Ubuntu Mini 1000 Mi.  ???  A web search shows that Nero AG (manufacturer of software for the DVD) also made versions of Linux. The homesick DVD (IE Vista) was delivered to me?  HP expects that some people would be has buy a Ubuntu Mini 1000 Mi and (b) buy the DVD sale-bundled assuming that it should be bundled with the Linux software?  Comments and suggestions appreciated.

  Huffner,

  Thnx for the reply. I continued questions websearch DVD that they concern the HP Mini 1000 Mi and Linux (Ubuntu).   I have learned that my Asus 901 under Hardy Heron and no windows has Brasero, a standard CD/DVD muli-faceted program in Hardy Heron. I found K3b via Synaptic, but you have not added to K3b for my Asus 901. When my HP Mini 1000 Mi (Ubuntu) happens, I'll see if she Brasero or K3b.

  My intuition came to be that HP sends a generic HP DVD which will almost always include the CD Nero 7 Essentials for Vista/XP etc. Since I have two XP machines that I hardly use now that I have a Linux (and soon another), I'm using the Nero CD to use the external with the XP machines if ever needed DVD gadget.

• HP DV6 series and its combabilities with Ubuntu?

  I want to buy a new laptop, actually between the toshiba a505 and the HP Pavilion DV6.
  But I read on the forums that the toshiba works well with linux and ubuntu, so I looked for the HP.

  My question: it's the HP DV6 dv6-2152ee (WM947EA) works well with ubuntu or any what linux derived?

  Dv6-2060ea works on Ubuntu. It's almost the same computer laptop dv6-2152(core i5) but with the core i7 processor. It should work without problem on Ubuntu. I don't know on the other Buntus, as Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Medibuntu, Mythbuntu, Easybuntu etc., but on Gnome works very well...

  My opinion is that the laptop works on Ubuntu, openSUSE and Sabayon linux but does not work on Debian. There is a problem with the graphics card I suppose...

• How to upgrade my browser Firefox with Ubuntu?

  Yahoo no longer works with my old Firefox browser.

  I only work with ubuntu.

  where can I get an upgrade?

  Thank you!

  You could try to update your version of distro (Canon) of Firefox but IIRC the version of Ubuntu, you seem to be on 8.04 LTS (Lucid) cannot provide official updates of Firefox (or probably other software such as Open Office/LibreOffice).

  You can switch to a new version of Ubuntu, possibly 12,04 LTS (accurate). I use. Accurate will a newer version of Firefox, which updated the Installer Firefox distribution.

  • output names and support the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Table_of_versions timeline

  The other alternative is to install Mozilla Firefox. Who will install an additional browser. For purposes of comparison and evaluation, I also run several versions of Mozilla Firefox. Let me know if you need further information.

  • Installing Firefox on Linux

  You may need to consider using a second profile Firefox, or the transfer of bookmarks etc between versions of Firefox or the operating system.

• Nightly Ubuntu connects not with Ubuntu 11.10 3.0.0 - 17-generic, but firefox 11.0 kernel is still working in the same kernel version (the source of the problem since 3.0.0 - 16A gave no problem)

  Every night of Ubuntu does not connect (crashes and doesn't stop not withouyt one kill pkill or root) with Ubuntu 11.10 and the recent 3.0.0 - 17-generic kernel

  11.0 Firefox still works in the same kernel version and I use it now. The source of the problem is perhaps the core Ubuntu since 3.0.0 - 16 core gave no problem

  Hello

  Please also check if this happens in a new profile. If the new profile is correct, you can later copy the necessary personal data of the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in a different location (folder profile) separated from its files/folder. A new profile would default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and topic: config ) and usually also would be vacuum of Extensions and themes (appearance) in tools > Add-ons) and their parameters. In addition, a new profile would have no previous website stored data/settings etc, (Tools > clear recent history).

• Re: BIOS version 3.30 Tecra A11/M11: problems with Ubuntu systems?

  I just got the updated BIOS version 3.30 on my Tecra A11/M11 invitation.
  I'm still under Win7 now, but plan to add a dual boot with Ubuntu when the next LTS strikes in April.

  Is anyone having problems with the new BIOS?
  Should I upgrade or leave intact 3.20?

  I don't find any evidence of trouble with 3,20.

  Why upgrade BIOS if everything is OK?

  In addition to as much as I know that Toshiba can't stand not the Linux operating system, and I doubt that the new BIOS would improve any Linux performance so, if you are satisfied with the version 3.20, stay with that

• The volume control on the Satellite Pro A200 with Ubuntu 7.10

  I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9, I did recently to dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu 7.10. It's the first time I used Linux and most things are going well so far.

  However, the volume control (a wheel at the front of the laptop) does not control the volume correctly with Ubuntu, rather than increase the volume smoothly as with Vista, it increases in a 1/8 of maximum volume jumps, the on-screen volume control is always smooth. I think that it is at least partly due to the change of a material volume wheel, as with the latest Toshiba, I have used, for a version of software based. It controls the system volume and runs continuously, without stop at maximum or minimum volumes.

  Does anyone know how to change this change in volume for a smooth jump?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  given that no one here has no idea, nor pilots, nor any information about the driver from toshiba support, nobody will be able to give you some useful information.

  Have you ever google and checked the ubuntu forums? According to me, which will bring you closer the source here instead.
  So just to start to ask in the ubuntu forums because I think that someone is there who maybe has the same problem as you.

  I hope that artistry a kind of programmer. ;)

• I want to buy Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu and windows

  I want to buy a new laptop.
  I don't want to pay 300 quid for yet another stupid Windows (if they are just a version properly, people don't need to keep buying new... oh wait... they make more money...).

  Others don't offer laptops with Ubuntu (and not windows).

  I find myself here, and Toshiba appear also does not provide laptops without windows.
  Why? Why Toshiba offer laptops with pre-installed Ubuntu with no windows?

  I use Ubuntu for 3 years, and altogether, he transformed my daily calculation. No more bloody virus, not 5 minutes log-ins/closures, no more program - crashing down the entire system. It is faster, safer, more flexible and * free *.

  But because Toshiba do not appear to offer it, they can't get my habit (I'm in Ireland, so Toshiba options open to me may be different in other countries).

  Hello

  First of all it s a forum from user to user and you get no response from Toshiba here in the forum.

  But as much as I know that Toshiba laptops are not delivered with the distributions Linux.
  Of course, you can install Linux if you want, but laptops are delivered with the Windows operating system. As far as I know with win 7 64 bit and 32 bit OS.

• soundsnotcoming Laptop speakers on windows but that works with ubuntu

  Audio speakers aren't working only not with windows7/8/xp. But they work with Ubuntu 12.04/13.10.

  In windows, the earphones are functioning (plugged into the front outlet)

  Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

• Accidentally deleted Windows 7 during the attempt to dual boot with Ubuntu

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  Service number: ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >

  In trying to dual boot my system with Ubuntu, I accidentally erased Windows 7 during the partition. I bought my system used in a store and now I need a way to get Windows 7. I don't want to pay too much for the support. I talked to a Dell technician and they said for security systems that they charged $120 for each case. I don't know how true it is or if there are exceptions. I'm not quite willing to pay $120 for support, because I paid only about US $300 for the system. If I were asked to pay US $120 for it, I might as well buy a new one right? It is not that I am not willing to pay for support, but if the charge is a significant percentage of the value of the system, I am not prepared to pay for it.

  Any help you can give me in this regard will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you

  You can try Windows 10 TH2 by yourself... If you like it then you don't need to pay Windows 7 media and/or to obtain from an unofficial source.

  There are always positive and negative comments on versions of Windows. Windows ME, Vista and 8 in particular had the worst critics... In my opinion Windows 10 is a good successor to Windows 7 (Windows 8 was not).

  If you don't like it then you can get the DVD on eBay. The restorediscs is probably just copied a DVD to reinstall Dell Windows 7 send. There are debates or no eBay or these sources media buy is authentic or not. The license is tied to the Windows 7 COA affixed to your computer, so from a technical point of view it does not matter where you get the installation media.

• MIcrophone on HP mini 1000 does not work do not with Ubuntu

  I have a HP mini 1000 with Ubuntu installed on it.  I tried to use the microphone, but it does not work...  I don't know if she just because I do not have the right drivers, or it's broken...  So I wonder where I could find the right drivers (or if there is a fix), or weather I should just send it to get fixed.

  Thank you.

  P.S. - If you need more information about it, just tell me.
