1.	Solve : Input Not Supported - help please!?
Answer» Hello, I'm new to Xubuntu and WHENEVER I turn on the computer, it does all the basic things at start up and then the background is black with a box that says: "Attention: Input Not SUPPORTED". I was able to use the computer and get online earlier but, now I have no idea what I could have done to make this happen. I've tried turning off/on several times. Any ideas?Never SEEN this before with xubuntu... but have you added any new hardware like different keyboard or mouse, or anything connected to USB port that may be falsely detected as an input device? If you dont have anything important saved on the hard drive you can always reinstall xubuntu and see if this corrects it if no hardware was changed.Quote from: DaveLembke on July 13, 2013, 07:35:51 PM Never seen this before with xubuntu... but have you added any new hardware like different keyboard or mouse, or anything connected to USB port that may be falsely detected as an input device?

I just got this desktop computer yesterday and installed the wireless card today. It worked fine right after that and then this happened. I didn't add anything else or change anything. I don't think I can re-install Xubuntu because I can't access the internet or anything at all.Xubuntu can be downloaded with another computer and the ISO burned to CD/DVD or a usb thumb/pen drive can be made bootable with it. You then boot off the media and go through the install process. How did you install Xubuntu without Disc or USB thumb drive? I have seen Network INSTALLS of Linux but they are more involved than via Disc or USB stick. The only other thought I have is that maybe an update broke something. The test for this will be reinstalling Xubuntu clean, verifying the computer is working fine and then perform updates and see if it BREAKS again with the error. Thank you! I will give it a try.
