We have three computers, linked very informally by a wired network.
The "main computer" has all my working documents on it. It currently has Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as the OS. If I'm in another room, I...
I'm at my 8.04 desktop now, but could you go Edit | Preferences | Composer Preferences and tell us what the character set is? Unicode UTF-8 works great for me; maybe you ended up with an unexpected...
My installation is Ubuntu 9.04, with kubuntu-desktop installed via apt-get.
I've made KDE my default for the time being, just to get used to it. One problem I'm having is that clicking on buttons...
I replaced my fairly venerable Keytronic PS/2 keyboard with the farthest-away model I could find, a Logitech wireless, and the results were the same; I can't get any of the suggested compose keys to...
Huh, maybe I'll try a new keyboard. The Ctrl-Shift-U doesn't work, either, though and it's unlikely that every key broke all at once. So I can also wait for the next batch of updates. Or keep...
This concerns two installations of Ubuntu 8.04. On my laptop, I set it up so that the left Windows key allowed me access to all sorts of Unicode entities: e.g. LWin + ' + e made an é.
On my...
To find Opera, I opened Synaptic Package Manager, opened the Settings menu, and chose Repositories.
A window opened. The second tab was Third-Party Software, and I X'd the first of two entries,...
I noticed something this morning. In the line I copied a few posts ago -- the end of it was obscured by this board's "code" formatting, so here it is again --
//192.168.1.2/Workbooks...
Gaa. Just noticed that everything on the shared folders is read-only. Don't know why I didn't catch that an hour ago. Guess I really need some permissions help.
Well, it's never over....
I noticed that Ubuntu now hangs during shutdown. The last two lines were
CIFS VFS: server not responding
CIFS VFS: No responce for cmd 50 mid 69
I had to hold...
I have it working now!
A couple of notes, for those who might be passing through:
I added four shares, and they all looked something like:
//192.168.1.2/Workbooks /home/pawcatuck/share...
Before I get going on this, I have one question about the code line:
It ends with 0 0. What does that mean? I'm probably just being obsessive, but that's me. I know I have smbclient, I'll make...
I'm sure this has been asked and answered 1,000 times, but I'm not very adept at the search function on this forum.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 on a desktop computer that is connected to a Windows 2003...
My dog wanders over every now and then and reminds me, "Take some time for a walk! While we're at it, what do I have to do to get some food around here?"
Works every time.
Curiosity followed by necessity. I'd made some attempts at Linux over the last couple of years, but couldn't get it to work all that well with my (admittedly quirky) hardware and then was...
