USB external DVD writer
|
| |
I bought a Samsung external CD/DVD reader/writer, and discovered that it's just an ols IDE device, inside a box with a USB interface added. Which is OK since I can use it externally hot plugged via USB, or I can plug the IDE internal to my spare box which has no USB facility. Connected as an IDE, the BIOS detects a ...DVDW....... more »

Anyone heared of this? Exactly what hardware... more »

external sound card
|
| |
Bonjour, I have an ASUS P5WD2 Premium mobo with an integrated sound card: Realtek ALC882D. I have a lot of interferences and the sound is not very clear. As I have the same distro (fedora 10) on my laptop with no sound problems, so I think that the sound card is not good and I am wondering if I can solve my problem with an external sound card.... more »

|
| |

You can actually notice how the hard drives don't seem to be powered and even the fans stop spipping I have tried hibernating under both, knoppix 6.2 and Ubuntu 9.10 and none of them get it right. Is there any Linux distro that does?... more »

PCMCIA won't wake up after suspend
|
| |
I recently updated my old Thinkpad-240X from Vectorlinux-4.2 to xubuntu-9.10 and in general have found it to be an improvement. The most pressing issue at the moment is that the PCMCIA slot doesn't wake up after opening the laptop, so I have no network support until I reboot. I have tried removing and inserting the... more »

advice for my new Linux workstation
|
| |
Hi all, I'm looking to build a new Linux system. I call it a 'workstation' because I never play game on it, never connect speaker to it (I don't even configure the sound), etc. I'll ask a few questions because I'm a bit lost with all the technologies that appeared in the last 3 years. Before-last system was a Pentium 4 / Asus mobo / Kingston... more »

We're having the problem referenced in: [link] We've installed the referenced BIOS (which still calls itself v1.2, but has a later timestamp than the "real" v1.2). But, using WD10EADS-00L5B1 drives (Western Digital "green" 1TB) drives, the system still refuses to... more »
