Re: [ubuntu-uk] Connecting to a network

I eventually got it to work by changing the sharing settings on the Asus Eee PC, to not require a password, then it worked. (I had set up a username of user on the Ubuntu PC, as that is the name used on the Asus, with the same password, although I do not know why it did not work.) Thanks for al

Hi John, Other useful commands could include df (shows disk usage) pwd (print working directory) mkdir (makes a directory) I also find lynx really useful for testing websites from remote locations and for W3C compliance - just apt-get install lynx then you should be able to use lynx http://www.

[ubuntu-uk] Ideas for sharing folders

Evening All, Just want to canvas for ideas... What is the best way to share a folder with multiple users over multiple machines? To put into context, I have been playing with UbuntuOne. I have a Photos directory which is now [in the process of being] syncronised for my user across 3 PC's. I have

I have an Epson 1240U which is an old scanner, that came with an attachment for film scanning. Effectively, I take the lid off the scanner change it for a film scanning unit and that highlights the are that the film negative is and directs the scanning light through it. I've never tried using

Hi John, ssh is a secure way of communicating with a remote server. At the most basic level it is like having a terminal session on the remote computer, you can use commands such as "cd" to change directory, "ls" to view the contents of your current directory (same as "dir" in dos) "pwd" to prin

I've not bothered with installing the driver manually, I was just pointing out that jockey-gtk doesn't pick up that an nvidia legacy adapter is present. At some point when I need it, I'll get round to installing. From memory, I had to use the 7186 driver with 8.10 to get desktop effects worki

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Nvidia-legacy drivers on Jaunty

I'm not sure whether the drivers in Jaunty will work with a TNT2 card, thats slightly older than the Geforce2 cards I've got in my laptop and desktop and for both of them I can't get 3D working, hardware drivers tool doesn't detect that an nvidia card is installed so won't automatically check f
