By the way, why is it necessary to install x11vnc? Because I just disable the Compiz and works for me.

I have two ubuntu in my laptop, ubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu9.04. Ubuntu 8.04 work very fine but Ubuntu 9.04 is bad ( Kubuntu 9.04 is no better ). I think this can be happened because Canonical try to be cutting edge. I hope next time Canonical will be more conservative, just release products who stable and work out of the box although they are rather old,

Regarding the problem connecting to a windows printer share…

9.04 (Jaunty) shipped with a beta hp driver. Perhaps the same is true for some other brands. When I discovered this and upgraded the driver, everything worked as expected.

URL for HP Linux drivers is: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html

I spent hours looking for an answer to the camera problem. I finally found a solution, but it took several tries to work and only worked once. I find this article, now my camera works every time. THANK YOU!

So far I’m unimpressed with Jaunty Jackalope. It has created more problems than it has solved, my latest problem being Wifi and networking no longer functional.

I’m about ready to give up on Ubuntu as being anything more than a science project by college students and disaffected programmers.

It’s clearly not at the level and apparently well never arrive at the level of being a professional plug-and-play OS.

I have seen Ubuntu 8.10 advised for N00bs (me) but for the life of me I cannot get the download places to offer me anything but 9.04 or 8.04. Can I get a link to DL the iso for 8.10?

Just installed Miro 2.0.3 using Synaptic Package Manager (it gathered and installed several dependencies) in the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 9.04. Browsing the catalog, I clicked Watch on some of the titles, which brought me to the blue-green page with menues but no video playback. I clicked Watch in browser, which opened a tab in Firefox 3.0.11 with a black video screen and low-volume audio. Video card is Sapphire HD 3870 ATI. Everything but Miro works great. I’m also using the actual versions of Java and Flash, not the gnu freewares.

I have a HP M-307 camera.
I set the device to Digital camera - not USB disk drive, then i run:

/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor

from nautilus and then switch the device is on.

It`s work fine for me.

(And sorry my bad-bad English:)

Hello,

I’m running Kubuntu 9.04 and the camera-fix doesn’t work for me since it seems there is no gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor process. Have any ideas on how to work around the problem running KDE?

I have to add that 9.04 is more buggy than 8.04 - the version from which I just upgraded - ever was. I’ve had to deal with ghost reboots, green fuzzy screens that are only solved with a hard reboot, sound card issues (sorry, I don’t remember what finally fixed them), and an incessant memory leak that is driving me nuts. I also do not understand why ctrl+alt+backspace no longer restarts x-server. I have a Dell Latitude D620.

Getting my wifi to work on Dell Latitude D610 has been a great struggle with no success yet. I have an Intel pro/wireless 2200BG wireless card and no matter what I do, Ubuntu just doesnt recognize it. There seems to be a problem because as soon as I install Ubuntu 9.04, my wifi works for a while and then the computer hangs. Once I restart the computer, wifi option is gone and there is no way to get it back. Trust me, I have spent hours on Ubuntu forums and there is no fix for this.

I know my question might sound quite stupid, but I’m not that much into ubuntu yet. Why doesn’t anyone just fix these problems when they are known anyway, and when have workouts? That is one of the brilliant things about open source. The source code is open so everyone, who has some programming knowledge and some time, can fix erros and thus there’s fewer errors in linux compared to windows.

Hi there,
just wanted to say i have not had any issue’s with upgrade to jaunty BUT i have lost some disk space

with my previous install i maintained a constant 1GB free space in / this included the rotated log files etc as well as 1200ish installed apps including webmin/apache/mysql/ntop/cacti/mediatomb

since upgrading to jaunty i can only maintain a constant 529Mb freespace in /
i have removed unnessecary apps such as games/office apps/tomboy & i have also changed the rotation of log files BACK to 4 day’s as the upgrade changed them to 10 or 7 days

i have used the 2 cleaner app’s trash collector & computer janitor which removed ALL unneeded configs from updates,orphaned libs, unused lock files and any other chuff that was no longer needed but all that this managed to glean was a messley 50MB between them

have any of you readers out there noticed a jump in the installed system footprint?

my /usr/lib folder is the largest on my system currently at 126Mb

I tried the nvidia fix (after installing the nvidia driver from the non-free driver menu). It gave me the error that /dev/nvidia* doesn’t exist. I definitely know that they’re nvidia cards--I installed them myself! (yeah, they’re SLI)

You have to go to the xp box and right click on the priter you want to share and make sure the printer is in share mode. A hand will be under theh printer if it is a shared printer.
