Can you be more specific regarding which Dell desktop? I can't seem to
find a Dell 520s desktop on Dell's website (including support). Perhaps
if you can provide us with a link and/or the specs we can help figure
out the issue. Further, given that Dell sell systems with Ubuntu
installed, you might check their forums/support groups as well.
