Hello all, I've been an Ubuntu user since 2009.
I'm curious about one thing and wondering if anyone knows where to find some stats. Since the google-able statistics on "market shares" of operating...
Ubuntu's Unity panel used to allow for scrolling through the window focus by means of mouse wheel. This is, of course, still available, however if one window is full screen and you attempt to bring...
In this day and age there are several computers (in various formats) around any household or workplace. When buying a new computer you can do research and squeeze out a bit of extra money and get a...
I agree. It seems to run smoother as well. The 3D desktop effects are also nicely done and seem to be quite well optimised as I believe they work faster than the 12.10. The stability issues in 12.10...
I'd suggest "Try Ubuntu" and attempt to back up the data to an external hard drive. Then no matter what happens at least you've got the data.
You might want to try this option, given in the...
It's not about animal-based codenames, it's about silly animal-based codenames. and Saucy Salamander is silly.
Perhaps they could add a Hot Ubuntu pancake - a pancake with decoration in the shape of Ubuntu logo - to their breakfast offering... :D
I'm always in favour of change... as long as I'm free not to follow the new trend. But if you need to remove all of Canonical's trademarks you also need to remove all of Canonical's material, AFAIK....
Right. Well, GPL is standard form, it will of course not specify anything about Ubuntu or any distribution, but Ubuntu clearly states that you're bound by the individual licences for every bit of...
I don't get it. What is the problem? There are four Ubuntu software and repository mirrors in Romania, they too host all the software under the same licence and legal frameworks. The website...
Ubuntu with Thunar instead of Nautilus and Classic Menu Indicator installed by default! Call it KTulubuntu ;) Perhaps instead of the drums on the sign in screen Metallica's Call of the Ktulu could...
look for nVidia X Server Settings app in Dash. Seeing as you've got an nVidia graphics card it should be there, I think, if your drivers are set up as they should be.
It will give you lots of...
I always do a clean install as well. Except I keep most of my data on a separate internal hard drive.
Yes, but they wish to grow. If all they cared about was keeping their existing users Unity would look more like GNOME 2. Yes, Unity is getting to be quite stable. It looks good and it's a lot less...
Ah, then this is not about virtualisation, the question is in fact how to run two separate operating systems on the same computer. And you only need an extra HDD if the one you have is not large...
Issue solved. For those interested, the answer is you have to delete files ending in .desktop from ~/.local/share/applications/ to get rid of the desktop integration web app.
To remove the...
The Unity integration web apps seem to be stored in ~/.local/share/applications/
So, to remove them:
Open a terminal window (CTRL+ALT+T)
To remove all the web apps:
Code:
note that the...
I never bothered to get 3D acceleration running on VirtualBox so I cannot confirm this, but I think Direct3D needs VirtualBox guest additions installed. So have you installed them? It was in...
I thought salamanders ate bugs...
Exactly! 13.10 doesn't go very far as far as brand name. You can very well just go the whole way and just call it 00001101 00001010
This is actually probably more of a Dash Home issue. I think Web pages (which Amazon, Facebook and Youtube are) should not be shown as applications, but I think this is more of a personal preference...
It seems that disabling Amazon in unity tweak will not actually prevent it from popping up in the Dash Home search. Dash, when opting out of the record activity option, becomes quite useless.
...
Right, having googled a bit, it seems to be Unity desktop integration of Facebook. It's a webapp of a supported site. As far as I can tell, Unity Tweak Tool will allow you to disable Amazon and...
Hehehe, gee, thanks! Well, I've been calling them by version number since Karmic Koala. I do think the naming is a part of the problem with lack of popularity. I have been running Ubuntu as my main...
Yup, VirtualBox can be a nightmare. Unfortunately, sometimes an inevitable one since there's no better alternative for the task as far as I know. If it makes you feel any better, it's probably to do...
