  1. [ubuntu] Re: USB ports not working (not a hardware problem)

    No mouse will work in either of the ports with the Live CD either... I'm assuming things just went from bad to worse, since this would vastly increase the risk that it's an internal hardware problem?
  2. [ubuntu] Re: USB ports not working (not a hardware problem)

    I have tried every kernel from 2.6.35-23 onward with no luck. Haven't tried a Live CD, I'll get back to you on that!

    Yes. No matter what I plug in, the message above is invariably given.

  9. [SOLVED] How to do a complete uninstall/purge of Grub2?

  12. [ubuntu] Re: Evolution tries to use my standard account SMTP when sending Hotmail

    What do you mean by "select to use Hotmail"? Just choosing the Hotmail address to send from when composing a new mail is obviously not enough. And if I have to change my standard account every time I...

    [ubuntu] Re: Making Windows 7 default OS in Grub

    No, you don't. Your problem does not pertain to this thread. What you need to do is use the Live disc to reinstall Grub, and there are plenty of threads on that very subject here that will tell you...

    [ubuntu] Re: Making Windows 7 default OS in Grub

    That solution means that for every new kernel update or removal of old kernels, you'll have to edit /etc/default/grub, or the setting will be wrong.

    Much better would be to set, as per GRUB help:...
  16. [ubuntu] Re: "Unsupported WMI interface" on boot causes distorted splash screen, terminal wind

  17. [ubuntu] Re: "Unsupported WMI interface" on boot causes distorted splash screen, terminal wind

    Well, I can boot into Recovery, but it doesn't do much good. See attachments to find out what it looks like.
