| Dev05 | Hi! I wanted to upgrade to Feisty to check the new things out and may be to find some bugs as well. I wanted to know if the kernel finally has built-in working support for RaLinks 2500 wireless card. I've heard that it wasn't working very nicely in Herd 5 but I don't know how it is in the Beta. Any ideas? |
| Syrra | Where would I go to ask about appropriate software for a particular task? |
| gumby600m | Syrra: If you think it's software that's in ubuntu, ask here |
| K_Dallas | Syrra, i guess here could be a good place to start |
| Firefoxman | Help! Ubuntu installer will not work when try to get it to resize the partition!!!! It freezes when I click forward! |
| Syrra | I'm mostly looking for something similar to pda software for my desktop |
| gumby600m | Firefoxman: I had this problem before. I burnt a new install CD and tried again... |
| Pelo | Firefoxman, try doing it from the desktop instead of from the install proceedure |
| Syrra | I'd really like if it supported multiple time zones and maybe a clock? |
| K_Dallas | Q2: how old is automatix? i didn't hear about it when i used to run a ubuntu box a while back and does it replace synnaptic? |
| Firefoxman | Pelo: what do you mean? |
| vn- | wee! feisty beta \o/ |
| LjL | K_Dallas: it doesn't replace anything. and it breaks systems. don't use it. |
| Firefoxman | I am using the live CD and I clicked install |
| Pelo | Firefoxman, live cd menu > system > admin > gnome partition editor |
| gumby600m | K_Dallas: I agree with LjL |
| K_Dallas | LjL, oh thank you very much for the head up |
| vn- | any way I can get an ubuntu package name from debian or the intarweb? im helping a friend |

| gumby600m | In Ubuntu 6.10, when Konsole has some sort of activity (i.e. top updates) while i'm in another window (say, Firefox), it flashes in the system tray... it's /extremely/ annoying. How do I make Konsole stop flashing in my system tray? Any ideas? |
| bruenig | they seriously need to change the control files to reflect that those two conflict |
