Afaik, ubuntu-desktop doesn't...actually do anything; it just exists for the purposes of distro upgrades, so you can remove that too; just remember to put it back before you upgrade.

sudo dpkg...

-a, not -o :D

also you're running it with sudo, right?

If running killall pulseaudio at startup works, consider just putting that in startup scripts?

Two ways to do so:

1. Go to Startup Applications. Click add.
2. Add it to the end of...

IMO, swap takes up significant space on a ssd (4gb/128gb vs 4gb/320gb) and OP's going to be pretty space-tight already.

If it's rarely used, why have it?

What about Dropbox?

It's probably the easiest to set up, IMO, and gets the job done.

You might be able to boot from USB.

(To create a bootable USB - use Startup Disk Creator from Ubuntu, follow these directions from Windows:...

For me, emacs covers 90% of text editing needs. Latex covers the next 9%. For the last 1%, well, most of the time Google Docs works.

For presentations - well, I'm not a fan of Impress, so I tend...

What's the extension on these video files?

Do they work on anyone else's computer?

I don't think this is an issue of permissions - I ran into this exact issue with my backup drive.

That said - I think the reason why you can't get ntfs-3g is because feisty is so out of date that...

Did you purge your previous install first? If you didn't, it confuses the new installation.

Looking at http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/s/skype/ , it seems like the 12.10 version doesn't...

What does

sudo apt-get install -f
give you?

If that fails, try

sudo apt-get install --reinstall skype-bin

Hey nishant1234,

Firstly, man is a command that will tell you about other commands.

Usage



man cp
man ls

What does disk utility say about your hard drive?

Can you find them in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?

I'm pretty sure removing ubuntu-desktop doesn't actually do anything unless you're trying to upgrade between different versions.

Had to remove to get rid of pulseaudio*, didn't notice anything...

There are hard-drive to USB connector devices. What hard drive do you have?

I actually quite liked Unity the first time I encountered it (with 11.04, I think). There are few minor - minor! - things I'd love to change, but they're on the order of "the icons are still too big...

Looks like Lexmark has Linux Mint 13 and Ubuntu 12.04 drivers, actually; perhaps they'll come out with the Mint 14 drivers soon?
...

Yeah, Linux Mint 14 is based off of Ubuntu 12.10.

One thing that may happen - some things look at your distro name for configuration purposes. Pretty sure this isn't the case here, but if it's...

Try
sudo dpkg --remove -force --force-remove-reinstreq package name

Where does it hang?

I got an issue recently where nothing would install - everything would hang on the exact same point of installation.

I eventually managed to find the exact bash command (ps...

I think you need root permissions to manipulate files in /etc

That said, I don't think you need to untar there. According to the README, you can untar anywhere and then just run a few of the...

Yeah, you already have a fast HD, so you need the swap less, and you don't want to excessively write.

swapoff -a

And if you're trying to use Gnome and not Unity, it's a choice at login. Click the Ubuntu login next to your username.

Yeah, I got my logicals and extended partitions messed up: I definitely mean logicals within an extended.

And I meant partitioning the extended/logicals via the bootcd/bootable drive.

Sigh....
