Acer laptop

[moki at mweb.co.za]

Hi Peter

 

 I had a similar problem with my Fujitsu Siemens laptop. Try opening up
 Terminal and type in lsusb and then press enter. I do this for my usb
 ports to be recognised. Sometimes I have to do this 3 or 4 times before
 it sees my usb ports. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and I still have to do
 this. I have no idea why this is so.

 

 Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

That's odd Peter, have you tried booting from the standard 32-bit (x86)
 
Desktop CD to see if the USB ports are recognized. Try Karmic (9.10) and
 
if that doesn't work Jaunty (9.04) should I would recommend the official
 
Ubuntu release:
 
http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/
 
http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/
 

 
Let us know how it goes.
 

 
Cheers,
