One reason I do not comment as much as I used to, is that signing in has become so difficult. When the sign-in changed after some sort of breach (years ago now) I had to change my user name and...

I'm pretty sure I installed Lubuntu first. I think it's on a earlier partition than Xubuntu. I'm also pretty sure that it's a grub issue. I simply do not know how to fix it. I'm at work, so I don't...

I have Xubuntu 14.04 and Lubuntu 14.04 installed on the same box, a dual boot. After the latest Xubuntu updates, Xubuntu will not boot. Lubuntu will. The grub menu shows up, Both Xubuntu and Lubuntu...

I don't own a Windows 8.x computer, but some of my family and friends do. So here is the question that they ask me: Are Windows 8 users required to "upgrade" to Windows 8.1? Or will Windows 8...

I used to like Mediafire, but some strange things are happening there. I often use Opendrive, Flipdrive, and Box.com. They offer 5 GB free file storage, and I don't have to download any type of...

I've read in more than one place that recent versions of Ubuntu sends search information to Amazon (via keystrokes through the Unity Dashboard, or some such nonsense). My question is this: does this...

Does anyone know what happened to Linsux / OMGCheesecake?

Forgive me for asking: but, what does this mean for the future of xubuntu (or lubuntu)? Will these .buntu versions still be viable into the future? Or is this strictly a hardware issue? Unity has...

Guess what. After having problems printing anything, not just web pages, I finally figured out that I had a bad printer cable.

Thanks for your response. I primarily use Xubuntu 12.04, and I use Firefox. In short: If I try to print a web page, that print job often freezes in the que. When I clear the que and try printing...

Does everyone have trouble trying to print pages off the web, or is it just me? (I could say that "I never had any trouble doing so with Windows", but I won't.) Most of the time, with a lot of...

Homebrew

Document Reader was one of the pleasant surprises I found when I first started using (x)ubuntu. I'm sure its not "perfect", but it has not failed me yet...

If it hadn't already, it had to become an issue sooner or later: I cannot get my wifi working. I used Ndiswrapper, which installed the .inf driver from the install disk for my Linksys Wireless-G...

As I look at the installed software packages on xubuntu 11.10, I notice that there is an installed package entitled "Web Browser" and an installed Firefox package. Do I need both? Is one package a...

Can the power settings (suspend when I close the lid, etc.) be adjusted? Can I add items like Firefox to the panel? I've only messed around with lubuntu for about an hour, so far, and I haven't...

Thanks for the response. As it turns out, I had to press "escape" (which got me into the correct Bios) and then press "F9" in order to boot from the USB drive. I am writing now from the live lubuntu...

I have a bootable lubuntu ISO on a USB Drive. It works/boots fine on any Windows XP machine. However, I tried to boot it on an HP Pavilion dm1 (piece of junk) machine that has Windows 7 Home Premium....

Thanks guys. I'm writing now from the live CD. I tried megaptera's trick and it worked. I would have never thought that...

I'm trying to run a lubuntu live CD on a Window XP machine without installing. The program loads, asks me which language to use (I chose english), and, instead of a GUI, I get a command prompt on a...

Yes really. I've found that WUBI is a pretty good way to let people play around with this .buntu stuff without having to re-partition their hard drives. I've found that WUBI is safe; I've never had a...

When will it show up on the WUBI installer list?

please delete this thread

Your right. Not my original intention. I let my comments get out-of-hand. My apologies to all.

Before I make my final statement, I want to thank all who offered positive statements. Thank You! I am writing this from a Unity environment, and I feel that I need not offer any apologies: Unity (to...
