Can you elaborate on what sort of problems you have?

What steps have you taken to install these packages?

LOL.

Yeah, I can't help think that the interface for Lucid is something of a regression from Karmic. Lame. I wish they would stop "enhancing" GNOME by crippling it even further, and fix the stuff...

Guys,

I saw this (the flickering shell) when I tried to install and boot the desktop-pae kernel. I resolved it by installing all the headers, kernel-source, etc. I think it may be related to the...

Ok, hold on. Do you have internet on that box? If so, chances are you're 90% fine, you might just have an audio problem. By LAN do you mean no Windows file-sharing, or no *Internet*?

Hey,

LIMEWIRE

Frostwire is the same thing, but better. Applications -> Add/Remove frostwire

You have transmission under your Internet menu. It will open...

It is most likely this will work as designed again for you in Jaunty. It does for me.

Alrighty. Lets click on that first partition, and get the little dialog box. The drop down might say "Do Not Use this Partition". Change that to type "ntfs", and mountpoint to /windows. DO NOT...

Ok partner, first off, do NOT format the ntfs partition. That is Windows!
Next, If sdb is only divided into 1 partition, sdb1 (fat 32) it would seem your Ubuntu was on a second drive, formatted as...

Naw, you can use a FOR loop to go through and mass rename them. I wrote a script to do it on videos, but I lost it. Let me decompress fromthe IT world for a few and I will try to write you a script...

I would agree, Kate meets the bill. It is a KDE app, and while I actually really like KDE apps in KDE, for some reason it bugs me to use them under Gnome. I might just be neurotic. Kate does truly...

Hello,

I am using the Oracle Express 10g Web interface, and when using the script editor, I notice that the script editor text window is blank. I cannot see or edit scripts in it. Is anyone else...

HP Photosmart is still busted.

"An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use."

As others have already said, get it a shot. Linux really isn't scary, I promise. VLC runs natively in Ubuntu, and looks/works great. GIMP is a 95% replacement for Photoshop, or you can run Photoshop...

Has anyone else had an issue with being able to delete unwanted entries from the main menu? I had a Wine app that didn't disappear when I uninstalled it, so I tried to remove it manually from the...

If you read my post, this is exactly what I'm saying. All of this is true, and none of it requires the wallpaper and icons to be ugly.



The theme I am looking at is slick black and industrial...

Ubuntu *is* a rip-off. It is a rip-off of Debian GNU/Linux. Is this a slam on Ubuntu? Does it reduce the value of Ubuntu as an OS in some way? Does it trivialize the great Debian package system, or...

I'm sorry, but this is just an issue that has been bugging the hell out of me. This whole "It looks too much like...."

What does that mean? This theme looks too much like...good? Like not-brown?...

So what? II has not been released yet, so it is timely. And truly, this theme is nothing short of revolting.

The Murrina Dreamy one is a VERY nice compromise, and that woody looking mockup is...

Hi all,

Having an odd issue. It seems like since the latest update to Hardy, my GDM now takes a VERY long time to come up on boot. I've started it in safe-mode, and all the boot up messages look...

I have to agree, that theme is perfectly hideous. What on Earth is so awesome about using brown on a freaking desktop? If they intend to re-work the Ubuntu desktop look, couldn't they just ditch the...

Make sure you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras for good measure.

Then change the backend of your totem by installing totem-xine. This may ask to install a few other things, and uninstall...

That is a Windows error message, where are you typing this in?

You already have it. You only get the most basic options by default though, accessible by right clicking on the desktop and opting to change the background. The effects are in a tab called Visual...

Just an afterthought, your new machine prolly supports a 64-bit OS, but you don't get THAT MUCH of a performance boost unless the actual apps you are using can take advantage of it, which many still...

Yup. 32-bit, so don't worry about the other stuff. Also, make a mental note in case you want another package that has special instructions for 64-bit. Your system is 32 bit, called x86, or i386. Most...
