    Re: Strange Notification

    This sounds like output from a financial application. Since we don't know what applications you're running, there's no way to pinpoint the source. Try removing your apps one-by-one until the message...

    Re: folder permissions

    Regardless of initial permissions, changes can be made with sudo. That's one of its key uses. For example, if you want root and only root to be able to read and write a file, then you could do:

  15. Re: Hello everyone! I am new to Ubuntu and would like some tips!
