    Best OS to use for battery life

    FWIW, I'm not sure any distro is better than another when it comes to power consumption. Unless you're gonna forego a desktop and run command line for everything. Two programs that will help are "laptop-mode-tools" and "powertop". I used them when battery life was critical and they helped a...

    Ubuntu 12.04 'Precise Pangolin' LTS

    Yay, maybe my two toughbooks will work now. They have had borked boot ups since kernel 3.0.0.15

    I want to put Ubuntu on my Laptop but....

    It might be the update released yesterday "3.0.0.15". My laptop wouldn't boot after installing it. The screen went kinda black, then slowly went to all white. Very weird. Had to F8(or F5, F6, F7, I hit them all, lol) to select the previous install.

    Enablng USB in Qemu for Thumbdrive

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    Well, school has started so I'm not interested in a reinstall or downgrade. Not until I get my other laptop back. Does anyone know what the command is in the drop down menu? The one that says "Enable Mobile Broadband"? I could put that in the Startup Applications. One difference I noticed...

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    Tried nm-connection-editor but no luck. It just launches the same window I access through the GUI. Would it be under the keyfile plugin or ifupdown for NetworkManager.conf?

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    That wouldn't be a problem. But I have another laptop with 11.10 installed and it doesn't do the auto connect either. That is how I noticed it before. A reinstall won't help in this case. :( Must be some setting that went back to default on upgrade. But there are few options in the network...

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    Upgraded on my laptop yesterday. Now my cellular modem doesn't automatically connect at boot up, which it did with 11.04. It was a nice feature and I would like to re-enable it. It is a Cricket 1705 if that matters. Any clues? Thanks!

    Is Silverlight programming worth learning?

    Guess I will drop my flash class this spring. Glad I read this.

    No sure what that has to do with anything. His thread just reminded me of the movie I'm looking for.

    Tonight's SERIES PREMIER Caprica Episode [01-22-2010] - [Episode #0101. "Pilot."]...

    The extended pilot has been on Hulu for months. There are 11 shows already filmed. But I don't see this lasting more than 2 seasons tops. The casting is pretty good and it could be interesting to see how things developed between the two races. But there is nothing in the entire premise to keep...
