So I proceeded as described starting with a fresh installation of lubuntu 12.04, but something seems to have gone wrong.

The final "apt-get autoremove" removed quite some packages, mostly python...

Thanks stafio, so it is possible after all. All we need now is someone with the knowledge, time and a PPA to offer the latest 12.10 kernel without pae enabled, and we are set to go (there should not...

Sticking with lubuntu would be the easier way for me, so this is very disappointing!

The question is now, is there a PPA providing a recent non-pae kernel, and if there is, how would I proceed?

We still have a couple of pretty old but still usable ThinkPads with Pentium M processors without PAE here, which I am not willing to give up yet.

I just discovered, that from 12.10 there are no...

I am looking for a color laser printer recommendation. The printer should be in the lower price segment (small workgroup printer), and has to have the following features:

- embedded LAN...

I played around with that issue a lot in the meantime, but I could not get it work.

I have now Lubuntu running on that laptop, but it's exactly the same problem.

Even if I reconfigures the...

This is crazy! In the meantime I did two updates, after the first one (I usually reboot after an update, which I normally only do once in a while, on all other occasions I always hibernate that...

Yes, totally annoying, didn't find a solution for that problem, except to avoid using the keypad, which is totally unacceptable in my line of work.

What do I use a LTS release for, which should...

I would not know what to google for, because I did not change anything here on my machine, and it worked as supposed to before. I don't recall any xorg-updates recently, so I have no idea, what...

This may have something to do with my experienced problem, which I have described here.

Somehow the "Desktop" does not get updated on resolution changes, so stays stuck in the initial resolution,...

Do you mean the keyboard driver? I have no idea, how to check which keyboard driver is in use, and how to reinstall or configure it.

System->Settings->Keyboard->Configuration shows the usual...

I just did a fresh installation of Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 on my Acer Aspire One 753 laptop, which on its own seems to be working correctly.

The laptop has the odd display resolution of 1366x768, and...

I recently updated my installation (I am used to use "aptitude update" and "aptitude full-upgrade"), rebooted, and now the keypad on my IBM PS/2 keyboard is not working any more.

I can switch...

The site http://www.davestevens.co.uk is still online, but unfortunately no contact details or e-mail address, and that page with the tutorial can not be found.

Any idea how to either get in touch...

The 3Skypephone (aka Amoi WP-S1) was quite popular about 2-3 years ago, and I still have one of these here. I am just wondering if it can be used connected to an Ubuntu machine somehow, and found a...

How strange, I have two of these units here in use since about a year, and had no problems since, except that I had to exchange the fan on one unit, because it was not doing well. But you are right,...

Nobody else using NFS with Ubuntu?

I have set up nfs-kernel-server on my Debian Lenny server and nfs-common on my Ubuntu 9.10 workstation as described here.

Everything is generally working just fine, except that every time, when I...

That's the page I have used to setup NFS, but it does not tell anything about the configuration for the described scenario.

In a normal NFS setup the users can just access their own files on the...

What is the best way for a NFS setup, if different users are supposed to be able to access (read/write/create) the same files?

My guess is, that besides the users having to exist on the server,...

Great suggestions, thank you guys. So Inkscape or Scribus-ng, will have to install both on my wife's laptop. I definitely will not go back to Corel Draw, I think we have had version 10 somewhere, but...

Inkscape is for vector graphics (didn't use it by now, but I know Corel Draw, which should be about the same), but I don't need any vector graphics in this brochure, but just pictures/photos and...

Thanks, didn't know about scribus-ng, will definitely take a look at that one. I guess if it is too much for me to handle, I'll try with OpenOffice Writer.

I am just wondering, which software to use for creating a product brochure, which will be several pages long, and features images and text on each page. It has to be possible, to export the result in...
