http://askubuntu.com – I have an Acer laptop with a port replicator, the Easyport IV. System specs: Acer laptop, Travelmate 8172 Intel HD graphics Ubuntu 12.10 My problem: I have two VGA ports. One directly on my laptop and one on my easyport of course. Most of the times I am forced to use the VGA socket on my laptop, which somehow defeats the purpose of a having port replicator. xrandr -q doesn't list it as a different device of course. Also I don't get a udev signal. Sometimes, on rare occasions it will mystically pick the VGA on my Easyport, but I can't trigger that. How can I choose the VGA output on (HowTos)

Running 9.10, and can't get USB ports on port replicator for Dell D620 to work.

Charges fine on the dock, but none of the USB ports are functional - any ideas?

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop I use as a media server/video capture system. It only has 2 USB ports and I have a total of 3 devices I need to connect. The DVC101 works perfectly while plugged directly into the USB port in back of the laptop. Unfortunately it does not get recognized when plugged into a passive or powered USB hub.

I have a laptop with a Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS. This graphics card comes with a DVI and a VGA port. For some reason, Ubuntu will not allow me to use the DVI port on this laptop. I can only use the VGA port. In Windows, I can plug two nice widescreen monitors to this laptop, and use them in DualView. Ubuntu will not give me this, and I can only use the VGA monitor.

I have a Acer Aspire 5755G laptop presently set up to use the Intel Sandybridge Mobile graphics - not the nvidia Gforce GT640M which is also available. Display is set 1366 x 768 (16:9). On connecting to my HD digital via the HDMI output (to the TV HDMI input) the laptop graphics switches to 1024X768 (4:3) and there is no picture on the TV.

Makerbot has just announced the Replicator 2.0, a brand new Makerbot Replicator with a larger build plate, coated metal chassis, and improved software as well as better print resolution.

I just downloaded ubuntu 12.10, and I want to install it on my acer aspire laptop. Here's my acer specifications: -Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor @ 1.86 GHz -2,5GB of RAM -500GB HDD -Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 My question is: can I install ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop with those specs?

I currently have a acer 5755g running windows 8 and specs are as follows:

intel core i5-2430M nVIDIA GeForce GT540m 1GB VRAM 8GB RAM 750GB HDD

it also has intel graphics card, so is it possible to use both of them at the same time as i am right now?

Also will everything work properly, like the wifi, bluetooth, functions keys etc.

Ok, i had my acer zg5 netbook in parts as I was installing a wifi card out of a macbook pro. that part worked great, heaps better signal and fast too.

Then... for some reason I tried plugging in the mac's laptop display panel.

I am building an application that will be acting as a combined MUA/MTA on different networks. However, many of the networks are with ISP's that block port 25 for SMTP. Therefore I would also like to open up a secondary port so that some of the installs can communicate on that if port 25 is closed.

How do I choose a second port? I know some people use port 26 or port 2525.
