1. I don't know if Vista supports X-FI or not, but in Linux, use Alsa. I don't know of any other driver.
2. There's no way to keep the grub loader. After you install Windows, the grub loader will be gone. You will need to reinstall grub (only). You can do this via Ubuntu LiveCD. Try google for 'reinstall grub ubuntu'.

Yeah it does feel that way on my old laptop. On my C2D desktop, everything's smooth.

err..typo laa
actually i want to use x-fi in linux. but according to ALSA website,x-fi is not supported. so is there any other choice other than ALSA?

I have a problem on UBuntu, I'm using ubuntu to to connected to internet.
My problem is everytime i want to surf the internet the network become slow, and when i change the IP its back to normal..
How to solve this problem, is my pc infected with virus or else..

Hope anyone can help me, because this problem always occur.
Now i became IBUNTU not UBuntu

what do u mean by changing your IP it's back to normal? is it after you renew your streamyx IP? If that the case, it's not ubuntu problem i think.

I think it's about ip dns from tm net.

Maybe u can use chattrs +i <filename>

If i not wrong.

64-bit or 32-bit?

Open Firefox, go to Tools, Ad-ons.
Click Extensions tab, disable Ubuntu Firefox Modifications (Ubufox)
Install flashplugin.

[tesla_rage]
its only a 32bit

[mai-k]
i'll giv it a try..but even in synaptic/apt-get also cannot find flashplugin..

That's weird.

You can go to http://packages.ubuntu.com and download the package manually. Double click the DEB file and let it install.

finally, got it done..downloaded the plugin straight frm adobe n install.. another thngy found out is tat i nv enable extra repositories..so need some time 2 get connected..

anyone can help me out here ?

im a new user of ubuntu n i am having problem with the wireless internet connection.

the wireless detects d network and able to connect. but it doesnt seems to connect to the internet since i tried to surf using firefox and it shows page load error.

when i check the connection properties, it shows all IPs as 0.0.0.0

ive set it to free roaming. n using ubuntu desktop 8.04 i386

Firefox slowdown issue:
Mostly it is because of flash.
Use Flashblock to block out the irritating flash adverts you don't bother to view anyway.

Desktop effects.
If you cannot get the 3D cube to work try typing in these codes in the terminal.

hye..

here is my stupid question..
hope all here will help me to answer it..

I had read bout ubuntu in pc magazine..
but till now i still don't know what is ubuntu mean..
then ubuntu becomes kubuntu..
what is this?

ubuntu = kindness to man

kubuntu = kde gui ubuntu

could it be access point problem? misconfigure it?
how you connect to the wireless, because to me I just click on network manager and click on the network.
