I'm wondering if there is a list somewhere of software repository sources outside of Ubuntu. Thanks.

Well, I think I figured out a quick solution: apturl. It is a included in Firefox for Ubuntu and can be put in a hyperlink such as <a href="apt:xyz">installname</a> Then when the user clicks it, it...

Thanks, interesting. I guess the next step is to look for some sort of plugin for Firefox to do this.

I'm wondering if it is possible when having instructions on a website or pdf file to invoke the terminal. For example, if I have instructions such as:



Can I have this text as a sort of link...

Well, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 now. It recognized the card right away after installing Ubuntu. The problem was after I tried to select newer drivers after the installation. I just had to stick swith...

Thanks Heindsight. ngs. It didn't see any keyrings or anything in the GUI. I managed to fix this by deleting the login.keyring file in .gnome2/keyrings/

Now it doesn't pop up anymore.

Great post!

It worked good for me but I have one lingering problem. After booting up, I get a message box:


Unlock Keyring
Enter password for default keyring to unlock

I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 on this HP laptop and all was working fine. I had Compiz working and the drivers seemed to be working.

Then I screwed it up when I started downloading all of the...

I fixed it! I had to do:


sudo su

then the commands. Regular
sudo wasn't good enough!

I decided to try this thing now. I made a package file from one Ubuntu computer, installed Ubuntu on a new machine and am now attempting to install all the packages on my other screen using this...

Cool, thanks, I'll check that out.

I used to have a thing that popped up showing restricted video drivers.

I recently removed some stuff so that I could install the video card driver directly from the Nvidia site.

Now, I would...

The best program I have found is Songbird. I'm not sure if it can keep your library or not.

I have a GeForce 8800 GS and FX5200 in the same PC. I was able to get these working just find in Windows XP by installing two separate drivers.

I've setup Linux dual boot with this system and am...

I recently cloned Ubuntu to a new system. Everthing booted up fine and I did updates and selected to activate an Nvidia display adapter.

Now, after rebooting, it says:

Thanks,

I managed to get it working by installing grub on the MBR.

I think the reason my non-grub way didn't work was that I copied the UBUNTU file before I made changes to the menu.list.

Cool, I'll try that. I'll change the (hd0,0) items to (hd0,1) and see if it works. I'm not exactly sure how the numbering works. I have 3 hard drives in the system. Maybe it should be 2 instead of 1?...

I recently wanted to see how Ubuntu would work on my newer Windows based system. My current Ubuntu system is an older one running on an IDE based drive. I had 3 SATA drives in my Windows system so I...

I'm just wondering if I create a custom menu folder for "chat" and move some of the IM programs under there if after updating it will move back to the "Internet" location in the menu.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and notice that it takes 3 mouse clicks in order to display the menu items. How can I make it work on one click?

I had issues with repetitive keystrokes not working on my keyboard with Ubuntu 8.10. When I would hold down the spacebar or any other key, it would not repeat.

I went to the Keyboard Preferences,...
