This is what my settings look like, if it would help.

What options do you have under 'View'? What version of Ubuntu are your running?

Strange .... there is here,

What about pressing F9 ?

Click on View, then check Side Pane.

Strange, I can type nero in a terminal and get the program. It installs in /usr/bin. On my system (in Gnome) it is under Applications-> Sound and Video as Nero Linux.

How did you install it?

You can check by System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. It will show if there is a hardware driver available and if it is enabled. If not, you can enable through there.

A little more information please ... what is the graphics card (make and model). What graphics driver is being used?

I have it in my Preferences - called Main Menu ..... in a terminal type alacarte

LMAO!!! :lolflag:

As stated, no harm, no foul - it will run fine.

Although I used Nero, I had no problem burning the ISO to a CD (not DVD) In MS Vista. Just double-clicked the ISO image and Nero loaded up without a problem.

Hmmm ... I'm running Firefox 3.0.1 and have not had any issues. I can listen to MP3 or streams in Rhythym Box with absolutely no problem. I'm on the current 64-bit version of Ubuntu.

Or, if you have the Compiz Config Settings Manager installed (will be under System->Prefrerences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings), open that up, go to Effects->Window Decoration, and under Command...

Getting Emerald to work...

I think you need to be a bit more specific to receive any help.

Sometimes you just need to do things yourself :)

Well, I have been able to set up a VPN connection, and have no problem connecting. I just installed the pptp plugin to NetWork Manager, put in the info, and connected.

However, I still can't get...

I've gone though the posts here but maybe I've missed a few things or someone here may have already done what I'd like to do. Basically, I would like to create a VPN connection to work and then...

Sorry, but you don't really give enough info for anyone to offer help. Maybe a few questions to get you going:

1. Is Compiz enabled and running ok?
2. You've installed Emerald (you should see the...

Of course it is - you just need to enable desktop effects, then pick the cube from the CCSM (Compiz Config Settings Manager). IF you have correctly enabled the NVidia drivers, then go to

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is, once you do get into your 'normal' desktop, go to Synaptic Package Manager, do a search on Awn, and completely remove it. Then shutdown and...

Yes, bash is the defacto 'standard' on Linux - though like most flavors of UNIX, you can pretty much pick your shell, including Kornshell.

Whereas Perl is pretty much installed by default on...

Huh??? :confused:

Kornshell is considered the *standard* shell for many operating systems, like AIX, etc. Though just about all flavors of UNIX(Solaris, AIX,HP-UX, etc) allow the use of other...
