after spending my time in a lot of website without result, I hope someone could help me.

I have a PCI Card Linksys (not recent...) model WMP54G V2, which doesn't work in ubuntu 12.04.

Ubuntu automatically find this driver: Driver Broadcom STA wireless, but during the installation, the procedure seem freeze it self; (the installation bar still run, but nothing happens)

So I reboot the PC, and looking into "additional driver menu" and driver is installed: well!

Then I try to add a wireless connection from "network menu" but i can't see wireless card.

I've tryed to install diver b-43XX from software center but without result.

Do you have any idea?

Trouble downloading updates due to “Hash sum mismatch” error

Every time I try to update my system I get these messages:

W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/it.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_universe_binary-amd64_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch
E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I don't understand what this message is about or what the problem is.

In a bottom right corner, appear a logo "AMD Unsupportde hardware". I've tryed to follow some procedure (sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates --- then reboot) but doesn't disappear.

Ubuntu find drivers by it-self, "fgrlx ATI/AMD" and ""fgrlx ATI/AMD" post-release" but I can install only the first... the second one, failed during installation procedure.

Do you have any Ideas?

I'm going to replace my old PC, and the new motherboard wont't have a traditional BIOS but uses UEFI boot mode. Is it possible to install Ubuntu 12.04 with this setup? Are there any known problems?

I found some info about it online, but I would like to be sure before actually buying the components for my new PC.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit is supposed to be the release which supports UEFI boot... is that correct?

I only intend to run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on this computer; no dual-boot with other OS's.

I'm using currently Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as a host machine, and I've virtualized three machines:

  • a Xubuntu 12.04 guest
  • a Windows 7 guest
  • a Ubuntu 12.10 guest

All the guests have the same VirtualBox default settings, but Ubuntu 12.10 is slower!

The installation took 1h 40 min! (Normally, it takes 40 minutes.) Now it is impossible to use it, and all operations are very, very slow.

I'm using VirtualBox version 4.2.4.

Any ideas?

Why is it slow? And how can I make it faster?
