For beginners, who really want to learn how things work, I'm glad I was steered away from IDE's--as the professor had his favorite--and towards just using a text editor...I found that once I got used...
I like it, and use it for different reasons, and just got thru coming back to linux--after my RC copy of win7 expired--and I like bleachbit...some don't approve, but it's just a hand way of getting...
Yeah, I should have been clearer: I know I can right-click, 'open with' and gvim...but I used command line vim for creating files--for java--and some other stuff, and wanted to just use vim as my...
I know it's in here somewhere, but I'm having trouble finding it...I've got vim installed, but it still defaults to gedit, when I want to default to vim...isn't there a command I can run, that brings...
I had done a search, and hadn't really found a fix, thought maybe someone on here knew of one, but after reading your link, I just went back to vim, and I'm used to it anyway, so no...
I just loaded Ubuntu 9.10, and everything seems to be working right, with this one minor glitch: I use gvim as my text editor. (I'm learning Java, and I use it regularly), and I was used to vi in...
Hang in there: I'm kind of in the same boat: started getting the Win7 RC notices yesterday, that we have to either purchase and reinstall new Win7, or do something else...so I too am trying to...
Have you looked at the Dell Latitude 2100--in the small business--section of Dell? it's a beauty and comes w/more options for ubuntu than it does for Windows...the colors are nice, and ubuntu ...
I just got a Dell mini-9 about a month ago, "jade green, 2gb ram" and I was pretty enthusiastic about getting it, and have had good experiences w/Dell since getting my first laptop, way back in 1995,...
Bummer: After this thread, I know some of us are now looking at our little netbooks when they boot up, and muttering: "Come on slowpoke, yer 5 seconds are *up*! All the other netbooks would be...
Main reason I stick w/Firefox is that most of the websites I go to, and some I use for school, have started to recognize Firefox, but didn't always recognize Opera, which is my favorite too...I know...
Yep, only real problem I've had w/Dell mini9,(that wasn't of my own making), has been w/wireless...I had the exact wpa pswd, and kept typing it in, over and over and over, trying everything, and it...
At least one of the apps--touchpad--wouldn't show until I *rebooted* Its probably not the problem, here, but since it took me forever to figure this little tidbit out, I figured I'd mention it..
I had been following your thread, and I'm glad somebody stepped in. Somebody always does, but I went thru the exact same thing about a year ago w/my Dell wireless,and I was very frustrated, as I had...
I like Bleachbit myself: reminds me of ccleaner, and it sure found plenty to remove on my dell-mini, I need the space, and I just like seeing things disappear, anyway...
It's a good, reasonable, question, and usually lots of different answers: after I went thru all that, I figured I wanted a firewall I kind of understood, and so I installed "firestarter", and unless...
Yes, generally, shows the root, then the NetworkManager, then the NetworkManagerDispatcher...so yeah...but no icon....and yes, I can get the Network Monitor...but I have a totally different applet,...
Typed sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ and it came back with "If you really want to create an icon cache here, use --ignore-theme-index."
Thanks again, I'll keep looking...
Actually, when I type in 'nm-applet', *nothing* happens...my cursor just sort of bounces away, like it's searching, but not finding, or something, and yes, even tho they were already installed, I...
Yep, what puzzles me, i--like other rookies, it took a lot of loading, and reloading before the wireless Netgear wg111v3 actually worked, but for some reason, at the same time, the little...
says: nm 'a.out'" No such file
Running Ubuntu 8.04...after a 3day struggle, was able to connect wireless on my Dell Inspiron laptop, USB Netgear WG111v3 ... a little slow, compared to wired, but I'll get to that later: my biggest...
Ah, it's just an invite to Debian Day down in Buenos Aires, on the 18th of August...
friendly fellow, just letting us know about the event...I used to live down there in Mendoza../
best wishes...
...and of course, if none of this works, *then* you get to do the interesting stuff some of us had to do, trying to get these wirless doodads to work...sleepless nights, and a fast and severe...
Another "program" I really like, has what they call "Rule 62:"
