Dell Mini 12
Ubuntu 10.04 works perfectly
Kubuntu Remix 10.04 works perfectly

Chose the full 10.04, loads faster, runs great. NOW The Mini 12 is a very nice computer. Better battery life with 10.04
than with Dellbuntu.

nmckeand,

No, The Dell Mini 12 has a different graphic card then the Mini 9/10V & Vostro A90. I do not know if upgrading to 9.10 is a good move. Check out the Ubuntu Forums for help with your Dell Mini 12.

I just figured out something about flash playing. I turned on my 9, and started Firefox right away. I went to Hulu and started watching a show. The flash was working perfectly for about 15 mins. But than it started getting choppy, I noticed the bottom of the comp was hot. So i experimented by adding a little 1 inch spacer under the computer, and put the comp directly in front of an A/C vent.

Like I previously stated, my 9 has the Motorola Wifi 5100 and is connecting to a D-link 802.11n AP. When the router is in mixed G&N mode, every thing works fine.

But the funny thing is when I config it to run in N mode only, the general web page loading, actually takes longer. I tried loading a page with it in the mixed mode, and timed it. Than the same in N only mode. And it

warrior,

Install the latest version of Flash, overrride gpu validation and turn off Compiz.

Besides those fixes it's really a programming issue. Flash is programmed poorly and is too cpu intensive.

First, Love the site, I use this page for any and all of my 9`s mods.

Do you or any one else know how to fix choppy flash (hulu)? I ran the "top" command, and saw that while flash video is running, and the cpu starts running up over 100+%, that's when the video starts chopping.

Im running Karmic and I've upgraded the wifi card to the Motorola 5100 card

Slow boot time with super talent ssd? this fix took me a while find so since this site helped me so much I figured I should post the fix here.

TEMPORARY WORK AROUND FOR THIS PROBLEM:

1. sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/95-devkit-disks.rules

2. locate the following lines (about 1/3 the way into the file; search for "smart")

Seriously, no desktop switcher? I'm leaning towards sticking with Jaunty UNR until Lucid UNR arrives. I like having both interfaces.

This time around, UNR 9.10 is distributee as an ISO, so no more .img burning. Shame imo, really.
