Thanks for the tutorial. It was quite clear. You might want to include a link to a page on how to install Build Essentials for the inexperienced.

I got my eeePC back online without a...

I am having a devil of a time figuring out what's wrong with my desktop installation of 9.04. Ever since I upgraded, GDM no longer honors the keyboard variant I have configured. Virtual consoles...

Thanks for this tutorial. It really made my life easier today.

Ah! Well spotted. That's certainly clearer. I think I shall have to make that change and update the site.

Colemak.com has some examples.

It looks like Colemak uses the "us" layout with additional symbols. Maybe putting those keys in, rather than the ones I used for Dvorak would be more successful.

Hmm. I didn't have any issue with this at all, unfortunately.

Are there any problems/errors in the Xorg.log in /var/log?

I think the need for CLI depends on a lot of factors. Some of them depend on exactly what way you want to do something. For example, if the OP wanted to access his drive and that's it, he would be...

It looks like it's "/dev/mapper/nvidia_becfbcee1"

So that's the device. Obviously you figured out how to mount it interactively. To get it to mount automatically, you need to add a line to...

Ubuntu won't hit your swap partition if the memory isn't totally consumed, so that's normal.

As for performance under Wine, I find it to be a mixed bag. Some things run just about as well under...

I second the suggestion of gnome-do as a launcher. I like it a lot.

alternately, you could set the gnome panel to just auto-hide. It takes up a few pixels at the top of the screen, but you...

Unfortunately, no. If you formatted the drive, it's pretty much gone.

noremaku: Exactly. If you use the tutorial I posted and modify your hal settings, it will give you dvorak at the login screen, too.

I don't mean to hijack here, but you don't actually need to be root to run make. Make just compiles the software in place. Of course, it's not normally very useful after that step.

It's the...

Glad to help!

If you run into similar issues in the future, you might notice that when you double click that desktop icon, it will show you the path to the folder you are in above the contents. ...

Usually, Ubuntu will create a mount point in /media with the name of the USB drive.

For example, my Kingston USB drive become /media/Kingston. My Amazon Kindle becomes /media/Kindle.

So,...

For future reference, if you like GUI tools, the System->Administration->System Monitor will show you all the running processes, as well as having some graphs to show you CPU and memory use.

Many motherboard manuals mention that if you have 4Gb of RAM it may only count part of it, between 3-3.9Gb, due to hardware issues and overhead.

I don't know WHY, but just wanted to point out that...

Actually, most HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players won't play AVI files. I think that the MPAA probably applied some pressure, to make it harder for people to watch downloaded videos.

Post #2 about BIND is up now, too.

Glad to help :)

I just went through this same problem with my work VPN, and wrote up what I did to fix it on my blog. http://dragonseptarts.com/blog/?p=159

I recently did all the homework on this issue, and wrote up the post on how to do it over at my blog.

I hope you are still monitoring this thread for replies. I got this figured out! It's a matter of adding some lines to your preferences.fdi file.

I don't have time here at work to write a long...

I am having a similar issue. My keyboard is Dvorak but it no longer allows switching to regular US.

I have an odd problem and I just don't get it.

The user that I normally use (we'll call it User1) works fine. Every time I log in, I reconnect to my wireless access point automatically and away...
