I have the same problem:
- I have a Sony Vaio series S with Windows 7 installed
- Windows uses EFI
- I burned ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso; the md5 is fine
- trying to boot from the DVD...
Can you elaborate?
OK, I searched a bit more, and I found what looks like a workaround. I'll try later today, or tomorrow.
My built-in microphone does not work. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on Sony Vaio VPCS13C5E.
As suggested on these forums, I installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic and appended...
It's also the same as what you get with 'info', which should correspond to the gcc version you have installed :)
Re: compiz is unwanted here
Thanks Yogesh, especially for the link. That's exactly what I wanted to know.
If you just want GCC documentation then do the same as for any other (GNU) command:
info gcc
I'm not sure if this is what you want, but this is a nice book about programming on unix:

Does synaptic work?

I do not want compiz. After every upgrade I have to uninstall it. Is there a way to not have it 'upgraded' in the first place?
Is there a way to find out what *new* packages an upgrade will...

What is the output of:

mount
?
The upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 made the system un-bootable because the UUID for the root partition disappeared. Of course, I can boot using the /dev/sdX form, but I'd like to set back the old UUID. The...
The problem was that Synaptic looks for the proxy setting in the gnome system-wide settings even if you say you want a "direct connection". As far as I can tell the only way to edit those settings...
I didn't use emacs for some time, probably for a few upgrades. I realized that now when I open it it works just fine until I try to switch focus away (e.g., ALT-TAB, click on a different workspace,...
Thanks. It works.
Is there any chance this will interact badly with hal?
I'm talking about ubuntu.
The GUI thing works but, as I said, it's too slow for me. In 8.04 I could make the mouse faster by editing xorg.conf. Unfortunatelly the relevant section has been...
Try
sudo killall -9 apt-get
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
I used to set MinSpeed and MaxSpeed in xorg.conf so that the mouse moves faster. After upgrading to 8.10 the section for the touchpad was "commented out because hal is used." How can I achieve the...
Since I moved to xubuntu (from ubuntu) evince gives the error:

Recently I noticed that Synaptic and Update Manager stopped working properly. It might have happened after I moved to xubuntu from ubuntu.
`Reload' in Synaptic and `check' in Update Manager fail...
I removed seahorse completely and the window still appears :(
After the latest update there is a window that asks me the passphrase to unlock the private key when I try to use ssh. Thank you, but no thanks, I prefer to use ssh-agent myself and control its...
