Dec 10	comment	SSD not found by laptop According to the only spec sheets I could find for a Envy 6 sleekbook(PDF), the options are a 320Gb (lower model) or 500Gb (see linked PDF) HDD. Nothing is mentioned of an SSD. Perhaps the HDD has a large cache or similar? You won't, and probably shouldn't, be able to access this as a separate drive. It's designed to cache commonly used data from the spinning drive, to aid with common tasks. I'm usure as to whether this is internal to the drive or if not, whether Ubuntu supports it.
Nov 20	comment	How can I update Ubuntu offline without using Synaptic or Keryx? You should be able to use the portable version of Keryx, I just did the same on an offline 10.04.2 machine and it worked fine. Have you tried using the portable version of Keryx on a USB key?
Nov 20	comment	How can I update Ubuntu offline without using Synaptic or Keryx? Your English is fine, but the current version of Keryx looks completely different and appears to have completely removed a lot of this functionality! I still managed to loosely follow these instructions - I got Keryx to download the appropriate debs and was able to install them with `dpkg`, so have an upvote.
Oct 10	comment	How can I find duplicate photos? @Vadi that's a different, and more complicated question. Tineye does image identification which doesn't rely on metadata, hashes, etc (it can identify similar looking images) but that's an online service. They provide an API but I'm not aware of any applications that take advantage of this yet. The other complication is that you wouldn't want to remove similar images all the time, for example if you edit photos but want to keep copies of the originals. Removing identical duplicates is much safer.
Oct 2	comment	Can Internet Explorer 9 or 10 be installed on Ubuntu? Installing Windows in a "Testing" VM is much simpler. If doing development you can then just share the relevant files/port with your host environment to allow you to test things.
May 16	comment	Dell FX100 KVM Host card clobbers onboard audio It could also be that the onboard audio is disabled in the BIOS, but I don't think this is the case, and as I can only access the machine remotely, it's difficult to test this.
May 16	comment	Evernote printer for linux It looks like this can be done with Google Cloud Print: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1794179
Apr 24	comment	What would cause SSD to become not detectable? That looks like a hardware issue - I'd get in touch with Intel directly. They may want you to do some BIOS and drive firmware updates, but I'd suspect the drive will be RMA'd and you'll be sent a new one.
Apr 24	comment	What would cause SSD to become not detectable? Cool, sounds like something else then. Do you know the last time the umounting/remounting thing happened? Or does it happen all the time? You'll need to look at the system logs to hopefully find something related. If you do a `tail -n 100 /var/log/syslog`, can you post it on pastebin.com and link to it here?
Apr 24	comment	What would cause SSD to become not detectable? In your BIOS somewhere (hit Delete or F1 or F10 on boot, it should say which button to "Enter Setup") it should list all of the SATA ports and what is connected to each of them, but where this screen is varies depending on your motherboard. It doesn't really matter which SATA port the SSD is connected to. For most people it's SATA0 or 1, and a DVD drive is the other one.
Apr 24	comment	What would cause SSD to become not detectable? What is the BIOS setting for that SATA port? ATA or AHCI or auto or something else? I've had problems in the past when it was set to ATA or auto.
Feb 27	comment	Set up a Serial-to-Ethernet Converter With a Virtual Serial Port Accepted as I don't think there is any other solution. As stated in another comment, the telnet interface for this device was a configuration interface only - there did not seem to be any way to get the telnet session to forward serial data. The device looks like it needs a kernel driver (or a lot of reverse engineering) to operate and none exists.
Feb 27	comment	Set up a Serial-to-Ethernet Converter With a Virtual Serial Port The telnet interface was a configuration interface only, it did not allow for passing of serial communications.
Nov 28	comment	Set up a Serial-to-Ethernet Converter With a Virtual Serial Port That was a typo. Fixed now. I came to the conclusion that this device requires a kernel driver (that doesn't exist), so I ended up getting another device - a Moxa Nport 5250A Serial Device Server, which has drivers for 2.4-2.6 kernels. It seems to be working well. I'm sure the original 3one data device would have worked if they actually wrote a driver for it.
Aug 12	comment	Anyone get sound working on a HP 8540p? Have you tried running `alsamixer` from a terminal session and seeing if any of the sliders there are muted? (MM instead of a number at the bottom of a control)
Jun 30	comment	How to connect to a wireless network that has a two word name with a space? did James' suggestion in the comment to my answer help?
Jun 28	comment	How to connect to a wireless network that has a two word name with a space? @grinan James makes a good point, are you sure your network is using WEP? If not, try the wpa commands he listed.

Jun 21	comment	ImportError: No module named gtk No worries, consider adding what you did as an answer in case other people come across the same problem as you.
Jun 21	comment	ImportError: No module named gtk When you say "It has something to do with module named axi.", what specifically does it tell you? Does running `sudo synaptic` from the command line throw errors or warnings mentioning axi? Feel free to edit your original question with the detail.
