I am having a problem with my power-saving options. I have the computer set to suspend when idle for a given amount of time. This works if I leave the screen open, but if I close the screen it does not. Have you had any problems like this, and do you have any suggestions?

I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 along side XP on my Asus PC 1000he but cannot make the WiFi work. I am new to Ubuntu and know very little. I would appreciate any advice how to get the WiFi working.

Thanks for the idea to get networking via an USB device.
It is easy to not see the trees when in the woods.
I looked around what was at hand and found my Telenor 3G USB modem.
I plugged it into my 1101HA and Ubuntu presented the 3G install wizard, I could get it working. Only detail to remember there is that Username and Password needs to have dummy names filled in in the config panel for the Telenor account before a connection is possible, such as “Donald” and “Duck”.
So now my initially Ubuntu network crippled 1101HA is busy doing an Ubuntu update..

Does the ethernet and wifi work by default with the latest version of 9.10?

No there is no FN combo key, however, if your wireless is on, then the bluetooth will be on. What exactly are you trying to do? Be sure you install gnome-bluetooth to be able to use Bluetooth File Sharing.

Is there a FN key combo to turn on the bluetooth radio? I don’t think mine is on…
