the goss

I Have a BTO laptop, my brightness fn shortcut works.

I can see the image on the screen that adds or reduces brightness.

But the brightness is not changing at all only in the file /proc/acpi/video/VGA0/DD03/brightness the value is changing.



Then if i log apci this is the output:

So He cannot find the file VGA because it's in VGA0 ?

Is there something wrong with my drivers of the LCD screen?

My video card is an NVIDIA 8600 GTS card but I don't think that this has something to do with my problem. NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver is installed. System is ubunty 8.04





Does somebody has info or a workaround or sulotion for this problem ?



Thanx

Hi.



I've got Ubuntu Hardy Heron and it is, now, in almost perfect conditions. My laptop is an Acer, travelmate 2480 (Celeron, 420). I have RealTeck thing...



My input just do not work. I click on Sound Recorder but it appears a message saying my capture settings are not valid etc. I have changed everything possible and impossible there to get it fixed. But got nothing...



What do I have to do?



Thank you in advance, anyway.

Ok so heres whats wrong: I installed Ubuntu on my lapop then a month or so later I installed Win Xp after I did that only XP would boot (and it wouldn't ask what I wanted to boot) so someone told me that I needed to reinstall the GRUB loader so I did and now only Ubuntu will boot (and again it wouldn't ask what I wanted to boot)... Can someone help me?

Hello!

I have been having problems copying files to my partition in Ubuntu because it seems I don't have enough space. That's not true though, because I have 20GB free on my partition I did on Windows vista.



I remember when installing Ubuntu that it asked me to choose the memory it would take for the installation or something... I selected 3 or 5 GB, does that have something to do with my problem..?

Hi,



I just installed Hardy on a Dell Optiplex GX270, and I'm unable to get CDs or DVDs to mount properly in my CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. When I put a disc in, the status light blinks a few times, I can hear the drive moving around a bit, and then nothing. If I double click on the CD drive in the GUI I get "Unable to mount location, no media in the drive." I know the drive works, since I installed Hardy from it.



I then tried



This got the CD to mount. I unmounted it, ejected, and put it back in. The drive would not mount the cd on it's own.



I put a DVD in and tried the same command line with a video DVD, and got



I don't know if this is important, but I do have restricted extras installed already.



I've installed Hardy on another GX270 and didn't have this issue, but I can't say for sure that the hardware was identical.



I'm new at this, so any help would be great. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I am running Ubuntu hardyu with Splashy (latest) but there is a timeout of 120 sec if there is not service load or inut during boot process. This can be a problem for fsck or in my case i have a service in rc2.d that is a ddcopy that takes 3 mins to finish.Is there a way to increase the splashy timeout?, i heard about using splashy_update 'timeout ##' to increase the time. but how do i set it up? any ideas or any other fix you may know.



thanks!

I have Ubuntu 8.04 and it says to be Hardy Heron, but sometimes here and there I read "...LTS"...



Why that?

I've successfully installed this OS on my eeePC & my Dell Latitude D610, but can't get it onto my MSI-motherboard with AMD-64 cpu, 2Gb RAM, and ATA and sATA drives. I've tried both the 32 and 64-bit Ubuntu versions. Both drop me at the BusyBox (initramfs) prompt. There I am, all dressed up and nowhere to go.



I've tried this from my IDE-CD/DVD writer, and from my external USB-CD/DVD writer. Same result.



Suggestions?
