If you can't find anything better, you could use open office's "impress". It's very much like M$'s powerpoint, so you'd have use a music player along side it, but it would work in a pinch.
I just upgraded to pangolin. I originally installed xubuntu on a small netbook, but I now only use it as an ssh server for a variety of things. Because I never use the desktop environment, I would...
I found this tutorial: http://vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/X-over-SSH2.html
While not exactly what I was looking for, this will work for my purposes. Thanks.
No problem :D Glad I could help!
I don't have ubuntu in front of me at this moment, so the help I can offer is limited, but you will almost certainly have to generate a new key. You should be able to do this from the passwords and...
Those keys are used to log in to remote machines, if you aren't doing so, you don't have any need of a key. If you were expecting keys to be there, and they went missing, I'm not entirely sure what...
I was under the impression that putty was an xterm emulator, but it is obvious from your reply and the error message that it is not giving fbi what it needs. As the error message says, this is...
I have an old computer running 10.04.4 lts in my living room, it runs a minecraft server for friends, and I use it for mudding, etc. I ssh in to the server daily, and I find myself wishing I could...

Wait. I found it here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html Sounds like nvidia is the culprit. Thanks for the help everyone.
All right. As of now, I've got it booting. I used the chroot method to get a grub menu then I did what wilee suggested with the nomodeset. Once I got booted I edited that change into grub.cfg (Which...
Thanks wilee, I'll give the disk a try and hopefully an update-grub will fix it. I looked through that documentation a bit more and just realized that the grub command line can browse through the...

Success!! I had previously made a configuration file called .asoundrc to get an alsa based graphic equalizer working. When I deleted this file, Everything worked. It seems that somehow, this config...
Oookay. So pulseaudio -D always throws the error: E: main.c: Daemon startup failed. I'm almost sure that the audacity errors are unrelated and that this is a flash issue. It turns out that audacity...
Hi, I've been stuck in the windows side of my dual boot for about a month, I came back over to the ubuntu side and updated/upgraded and ran into this issue: When I log in everything sound related...
Perhaps this isn't appropriate to this forum; if so let me know. It seems like you guys know everything, though, so it can't hurt to ask. My current PC has a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ (says...
Thanks oldfred, fixboot works like a charm.
Drs305: I already did that, I just messed it up and wiped out the backup sector as well.
And I did get the supergrub disk just in case I mess this up. :p Can it write windows compatible boot...
Then I accidentally messed up with testdisk and wiped out the backup one too. Here's the relevant part of my bootscript results:

Nevermind. I messed around with drivers, and xorg.conf after finding a way to remake one with xwindows killed off. Nothing worked, so I replaced my ATI card with an old nvidia I had hanging around....
Thanks for the replies everyone, I'll check the drive using the seagate utility, and if it's a false positive, should I add my confirmation to the bug at launchpad?
I've been running Karmic happily for several weeks now. Today when I came home from work I was greeted by a notification informing me that me external hard drive may be failing due to the fact that...
