What mic are you using. Skype works really well in Linux, you can easily find a mic that works on linux with a little research.redDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-53199488563471809912007-03-26T13:02:00.000-05:002007-03-26T13:02:00.000-05:00Thanks redDEAD, I'll keep on trying!darkstarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08265081899628862136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-76449730603060059672007-03-26T12:06:00.000-05:002007-03-26T12:06:00.000-05:00in ubuntu edgy eft 6.10 the function plus keyboard shortcuts all work. wouldn't know about Linux Mint never used itredDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-61097643680810951362007-03-26T10:13:00.000-05:002007-03-26T10:13:00.000-05:00Hi reddead, thanks for the blog, it's very useful. I'm just getting an Inspiron 1501 going, and I wonder if you have got the Fn+ keys to work? I tried Fn+UpArrow to increase the screen brightness, and it crashed X. I'm using Linux Mint 2.2 which is based on Ubuntu Edgy (and pretty good too).darkstarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08265081899628862136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-68527176447988422362007-03-26T09:18:00.000-05:002007-03-26T09:18:00.000-05:00Howdy Reddead, I may have a good one for you: I got Skype to run on my 1501 (Ubuntu forums) but the micriphone doesn't work. I'm curious if this is just me or is a more widespread problem with skype on the 1501. <BR/><BR/>Great blog, by the way. <BR/><BR/>TTexicanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01111554861826377956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-7037146747505595482007-03-24T14:32:00.000-05:002007-03-24T14:32:00.000-05:00I never put any of my computers to sleep, still scared from win98's sleep mode. There is a way to do it and feisty has it working out of the box. Poke around the 'net I'm sure you'll find something.redDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-37275244805090838672007-03-24T09:04:00.000-05:002007-03-24T09:04:00.000-05:00Hi redDead. I've got 6.10 Edgy Eft 32bit on Inspiron 1501. When I make it sleep using Suspend function in the menu, and then I wake if by pressing the power button, the screen is blank. Neither Ctrl-Alt-Backspace nor Ctrl-Alt-Del helps. I've tried with 'pci=nomsi' and 'pci=nomsi acpi=forge'.<BR/><BR/>Any ideas, please?Peter Kehlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11986569003200086270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-82208030853609772192007-03-21T00:35:00.000-05:002007-03-21T00:35:00.000-05:00fixedredDEADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-24928365618232230472007-03-20T09:36:00.000-05:002007-03-20T09:36:00.000-05:00hey ... the http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/2007/01/beryl-with-xgl-on-ubuntu-610.html link its broken ... :S:S:S:S<BR/><BR/>This blog its the best I could find, thankssviglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10065013495463175694noreply@blogger.com
