Uh-oh, I noticed it is a problematic tool... My mistake was to click "Restore default settings" or something to that effect, resulting in a system where I can't move any Windows, even though I...

I noticed that you can change the background picture/color and the color of window headers in Ubuntu 12.04.1 but I have been unable to change the color of folders, highlighted items etc to...
Hi,
I'm looking for an internet telephony program that is completely peer-to-peer so that no central server is needed even for initial connection and, therefore, no login is needed.

Then there is also Lubuntu, allegedly more lightweight than Xubuntu. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1790701 for some comments.

Mm, I guess DVD+-RW discs are not as common as DVD-Rs, and so operations on them may...
Dear All,
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic for Multimedia & Video, but:
Which program would you recommend for burning data DVD+RW or DVD-RW discs? I have tried K3B as well as the built-in DVD...
Hello,
I've been using Edubuntu so far and now I'm wondering if my next release of Ubuntu should actually be Ubuntu or Edubuntu. I've used some educational programs but then again I don't see why...
Hi,
You may sometimes wonder if the newest Ubuntu release contains a certain version of an application, like "Hmm, my present Ubuntu has OpenOffice 2.2. I wonder if Hardy has the new 2.4 already?"...
