Hi everyone. Is it possible for me to sanitize donated iPads if I have a charger? If so, do I need some technical/digital experience to do it?
I'm in the process of sanitizing several donated laptops. One of the laptops I've received (Toshiba NB255 netbook) doesn't have a CD drive. Last time this occurred, I was able to boot Lubuntu from a USB drive which I still have. I've reorganized the boot menu for the computer to boot from the USB first, but I'm getting the message "Exiting PXE ROM" and then it starts Windows normally.
What...
I received an email from someone willing to donate a laptop - she says it works well but the monitor is broken. Is this something we would be interested in?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I have an old 2001-era IBM ThinkPad A22m that was donated to my hub. I was skeptical that it could be used at all (800 MHz CPU, 256MB installed memory), but thought I would give it a try.
When I turn it on, it doesn't even boot up. I get the a black screen with the following message:
"ERROR
0271: Check date and time settings
Press to Setup"
I am able to access BIOS and...
Hi Bart,
Thanks for introducing the Ubuntu-Mate. I
installed it to one of the laptops and it seems to be fast. I will try to install it in a slower machine, which currently is good with lubuntu, but having problem with ubuntu desktop, and I'll let you know if the problem gets improved.

I have been recently in Cameroon with Labdoo laptops creating an IT class in a school at Younde. When in Cameroon,...
Right now I have one part of a very difficoult destination dootrip (Vanuatu). We do have a traveler who goes from Paris to Vanuatubut we need to take computers from to Paris, where there is no hub. Besides writing my friends how should I reach out to get help from other Labdooers?
The traveler just told us and he's leaving Nov 12th
Thanks.
In order to allow the person in charge of an edoovillage to upload pictures and add them to the album, I first registred him as edoovillage "manager", but he still couldn't upload pictures. Then I registred him as "editor", but it still didn't work. Do you know what I did wrong or how could I have done it faster?. Thanks
And another question, who sould or shoul not add pictures? Only the...
Hello everyone,
As you may know, recently UNESCO created TANAH, a videogame to help teach kids how to prepare themselves against potential disaster threats like a tsunami or an earthquake:

This videogame is available on Android and iPhone phones. So it is not directly available on the Linux/...
Hello everyone,
One feature that has been lacking behind is a proper way to quickly search useful content within the Labdoo platform. We did have a search box in certain places but its features were limited.
Recently i have implemented a search box that is a bit richer in its functionalities. You will now find it in almost all the pages.
The new search box:
- Provides automatic...
