Can you use your package manager? As soon as I cancel the error message it automatically closes.

I just got the exact same message. Yesterday I swapped around some disk space to increase my root partition so initially thought that that was the culprit. I'm using 14.04 amd64 with FireFox so doubt...

Haha so easy I had to complicate it first time round by selecting the / partition. Thanks, for your patience

Thanks, Dennis. Case solved.

Thanks, Kyle. Looks like I can install it via the terminal, then launch from applications, and repair directly from there.

If I do it that way will it automatically disable the OpenSuse grub? If...

Hi,

I'm dual booting with Ubuntu 14.04 and OpenSuse 13.1, but I'm having too many wireless issue's with OpenSuse, so want to get rid of it. Because I installed OpenSuse last, I automatically go to...

Thanks. The RAM was the last piece of the jigsaw, for me. Now that I've settled on 2 x 2GB I'm ready to start building...

Thanks, Robin. Every extra perspective helps

@Dennis. Thanks for the reply. I haven't ventured into vm, yet, so 4GB sounds like it'll do the trick.

@Ollie, cool tip. I hadn't realised there'd be a difference in performance between 2 x 2GB vs...

Hi, I'm building a small form factor pc to run with Linux OS (no plans to add Windows). It'll just be for general use; web browsing, movies, some occassional Steam gaming, etc.. Everywhere on the net...

Problem solved.

I removed it in terminal with:

sudo apt-get remove acroread

Then re-installed acroread and adobe was automatically set as default pdf reader

I'm using ubuntu 13.10. I tried sorting it via system settings but there wasn't an option for opening pdf files, the only options were for

Open Adobe Reader - Edit > Preferences > Accessibility. Ensure, "replace document colors" is checked and click "custom colors" Then click "background colors" and pick your favourite hue and enjoy eye...

Hi, everybody

I have adobe reader IX installed but I can't directly open any pdf files with it. When I right click a pdf > open with > show other applications, adobe isn't listed as an option.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I tried fantabs idea first and it worked a dream so didn't get round to testing the other suggestions, but thanks for all the top tips.

Case solved

Hi, everybody

When I go to home files all of the hidden folders are in view. I can hide them with ctrl H or via view options but once I leave and re-enter the hidden folders are all back again....

Thanks, Mc4man that's a relief to know, you've been a top help. I used gksudo gedit to add my data partition and UUID to fstab but as a rule I don't like playing about with it and now have further...

For sure, Vasa. I'm dual booting at the moment and wouldn't get rid of Windows entirely if for no other reason than it'd be almost imposible to sell my laptop in the future without it. If I was ever...

O.k, so I own my desktop - just checked - and copying over any other app icon to Desktop worked straight away. But the libre icons moved to desktop were owned by root. Before reading your previous...

Thanks, Smithy.

I installed and gave it a quick whirl but at first glance it seems to be just about personalizing desktop. I'll have another play about with it tomorrow...

Thanks, Mc4man but still no dice.

By colour I mean that the icons are grey with a lock symbol in bottom right corner. I tried the other way you suggested and the icons came out even more basic. I...

Thanks, Mc4man problem solved. I still can't get the libre icons in colour - before I kept office in launcer and the rest on desktop - but thats not a big deal.
