Sony Knowledge Base suggests downloading a later fan controller version and also fitting another 128 MB of memory. I restored ME. Any suggestions for getting Ubumtu to work? Or do I need more memory? Thanks The fan could just be a compatibility issue. The slow speed looks like lack of RAM, try using a lighter desktop, i.e. not Gnome or KDE and see if that sorts it.

[ubuntu-uk] breezy: todays update caution
Just a quick, 'heads up' for people using Breezy on laptops that use Broadcom chipsets in their wireless card. On my Dell Inspiron 2200 todays update broke my wireless connection. I had to remove and reinstall ndiswrapper to get it back up.

[ubuntu-uk] breezy wfi question
When my Breezy laptop, Dell Inspiron 2200, goes into standby mode for any length on time the wifi appears to stop working. Only a reboot gets the connection to my network back up. Is there any way I can turn on the wifi without having to reboot? Baza -- ubuntu-uk mailing list ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk

OK, I've fixed mine with, sudo update-alternatives --auto usplash-artwork.so then, sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r). I've also noticed that little gui for editing the grub menu list has gone, which is a shame because it was a handy tool on duel booting systems.

[ubuntu-uk] suspend you ram broke (breezy)

If nothing is found, it is really helpful to report the issue! That way they can be fixed ASAP. problems with suspend to RAM are related to acpi-support. AFAIK however, it is impossible that suspend to ram was working out of the box on your laptop: suspend to ram has always been disabled by default in /etc/default/acpi-support and required editing that file to activate it. did you do anything to that file? What response did you give when it asked if you wanted to replace it while upgrading? These are all useful questions to answer in a bug report. Weirdly it was working without me having to edit files. I just hit the, 'standby' button and it did. When asked by upgrade if I wanted to keep or replace I opted to keep my version of acpi-support.

Before you do that, have you had a go at sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver xorg? Sometimes that's all you need. Also, have a look at your xorg.conf file and see if you can spot the problem.

Write to the site and complain about their use of Flash. If they are showing a video then there really is NO need for flash. Can't you embed video directly in HTML anyway, isn't it what the object tag does? Though I did once try using the object tag with audio, it played the audio in FireFox, but offered no way of controlling it. I don't see why sites can't just have a link to the video file instead of using a program they wrote in between. Isn't flash going to eat more CPU, isn't it interpreted not compiled? Media is one of the areas where CPU speed is still a factor. If more people complained sites wouldn't do things like this. It would also be useful if video could be embeded in a HTML page and the browser could do what is needed with it (i.e. display it inline with controls or pass it to an external application). Writing to them, or rather, dropping an email, is a good idea. Just done it.

Macromedia Flash is a proprietary, binary module (aka no source- code, no way of fixing it or know what it does). Flash version 8 is not available for i386 Linux. Apparently version 9 or 8.5 may be made available, but that isn't the case yet.
