Fail to Edit in forums is that java related? I'm on WUBI Sweden keyboard

[nooby]

I am new to Kubuntu, I used Ubuntu Wubi 7.04 and that one hadn't this problem.

I tried out ubuntu forum and linuxquestions forum and failed to Edit in both.

I also fail to get the right keyboard layout. äö works but not the a with a ring over.
I fail to find the Dash too and Underscore.

Should I start a new thread about my keyaboard layout problem?
I don't remember that Ubuntu GNU was as slow as Kubuntu is.

Has that to do with 7.1 or was Kubuntu slow under 7.04 too?

If it is the Java that doesn't allow me to do Edit in a forum and if I have to dowload or activate or similar, how do I do it?

Seems that Kubuntu forum use another kind of software cause here it allows me to Edit?

Nooby

ps

Typical of me as a total newbie.
How on earth do I log out of this forum? I see nothing to click on?

oh surprise it is in Personal Menu on the left when everybody else has it up in right corner. Smile

Another question.
GNU seems to have an email client as default while Kubuntu maybe not. It had a text messenger but I want a simple email client. Is it there but me fail to see it?

It seems that kubuntu faulty shut down routine destroyed my Ethernet card. The LAN is no where to be found. Windows fail to find the hardware. When I install the factory CD drivers for the comuterit fail to find the card too. The LED that should light up doesn't.

This is very sad.

Could someone help please

Typical that nobody cared.

I was lucky. the guy at the Computer shop by accident told me that there is a miniscule chance that my mother board could be repaired. the LAN circuit is integrated so there is nothing to repair. One have to deactivated it and put in a new one which needs one saw off the excessive metal spade. the MZ915 XcCube is a mini computer so it is very compact.

But he told me how to deactivate the LAN. And he told me more as an aside that sometimes the LAN survive such a hard shutdown by protecting itself by being invisible. It shut itself off completely. Nothing could see it.

so he told me that they had a procedure I could try out.

Here is how to revive a dead LAN card.

Go into BIOS and disable it.

Now let Windows start and then do a proper shut down which Linux failed to do.

That way the LAN card could be activated via BIOS tell it to Enable again.

Then Windows start and you go to System and look for LAN and voila there it is.

The dead card is now alive. This only happens in very rare cases he told me.

They have had many many repairs and only a few survived such hard shutdowns so he told me that I have won the Lottery.

So now I am very happy. My computer is alive again I write on it now here in your forum.

But no more experiment with Linux for me.

Linux has to learn to do clean shut down on all hardware. Or in their software warn that this hardware is not compatible.

When one try to install Linux a warning should blink in RED.

Warning This computer could end up dead cause its hard ware are not compatible with Linux OS. It use the Intel Chip set 915.

The Intel Company has not told us how to write clean shut down for that hardware so please use another OS on intel 915.

Don't use Linux on this one.

AOpen XC Cube Mini MZ915 is not compatible with Linux

Unless your a professional computer geek with good insight in how to set up hardware and software so they are compatible. If you know your a newbie and have nobody near you very good at it. don't try to do what I did. It fails on this hardware.
