Ubuntu 12.04 and the Huawei E586. Just Works.
Living out in the Irish countryside you will find fancy things like high-speed broadband to be the preserve of the city and town folk. To make up the gap USB broadband dongles are very popular and while they are capable of speeds of 21Mbps you should realistically be expecting rates closer to 1Mbps. I have used a Huawei E160G for…

Auf Wiedersehen, MCN
I have been a weekly buyer of Motorcycle News (MCN) for about 12 years now, probably missing only 10 issues over that whole period. Two weeks ago they brought in a whole new look, basically trying to package a newspaper as a glossy magazine. It does not work. Its a pig’s ear of a job.…

Right, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin ALPHA is installed, and things seem stable enough at this point in development. Installation could have gone smoother. I downloaded the torrent for the Alpha 1, created a startup USB, went to install and selected the ‘upgrade 11.10 to 12.04’ option to try and preserve as many installed applications as…

Gnome Shell Running On A Netbook
I have enjoyed using the Gnome Shell interface instead of Unity over the last two weeks that I have decided to install on my Advent 4211 netbook. In the post were I described installing and tweaking Gnome Shell the focus was on average sized monitors but the default settings of Gnome Shell mean that a…

Running Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 11.10
First I have to say that I am a fan of Unity, not when they first rolled it out on netbooks (crippling them performance wise) but on PC’s or laptops it made more sense. No it is not perfect, yet, but I do like the direction it is going and what could be achieved with…
