I found a solution, although I'm not sure it's a very good one. Here's what I did:

I opened a terminal, and typed in the command


gksu /usr/bin/luckybackup

After providing my password, it...

I'm trying to do a backup using Ubuntu v10.04 LTS on a Dell laptop & the "luckyBackup" program. I'm having a problem that I don't understand.

I have 2 external HD's. One of them is my primary...

I'm trying to configure KDE in v12.04. I want a quiet startup - no sound effects at all during login or startup of the desktop session. I've spent about an hour searching, and haven't discovered...

In Ubuntu v10.04 LTS, Audacious became my favorite music player. However, when I was forced to move to v12.04 LTS, I discovered that Audacious had lost its "scale" function. That meant I couldn't...

Well, I finally got back to this. I did as instructed, and created a new directory named "/media/flashdrive". With a flashdrive inserted, it becomes "sdc" on my Ubuntu v10.04 OS. I entered the...

I know the v10.04 LTS has passed deadline & been declared obsolte - but, I keep checking for updates nonetheless. (Now & then I find one.) However, today something odd happened & I'm not really...

Is it possible for a hacker to monitor the medibuntu activity, and spoof to try to take over or exploit the connection for their own purposes?

kansasnoob: Thanks for clarifying that for me, explaining Classic vs. Classic (no effects). Now, I understand.

Edited:
I've got access to panel editing now. Thanks!

I like that definition, point of distinction, between programs & scripts; that, the bulk of the application logic doing the actual work is elsewhere. However, I still think that in order to be...

Thanks, kansasnoob! I've bookmarked the page, for finding when I go use the v12 OS.

I just discovered an OT link posted by "Frogs Hair" in another thread, which you might be interested in - so, I...

Copper Bezel: Aha. I understand. Then, perhaps the best advice is to be patient? Prep the distro, keep it maintained, groom the DM & DE (refining, etc.) and wait? If MATE really is as good as he...

Got it. Naughty, naughty. Somebody ought to spank his modem.

Great! Got it. Did it. Thanks for the guidance.

Thanks for the advice, but this has become a moot point for me. I over-wrote the Xubuntu v12.04 installation with a Kubuntu v12.04.02 installation. TrueCrypt worked perfectly there. Then,...

You bet! (Fun, isn't it?)

I've been getting frustrated, trying to make the Gnome "Classic" look like less of an eye-sore, since I installed Ubuntu v12.04.2 LTS. Sure, it's got 3 or 4 available themes - but, they're virtually...

Will this work in the Gnome "Classic" under Ubuntu v12.04.2? If yes, are there any known bugs?

I'm not the legal expert here, re. trademarks, copyrights, etc., but couldn't you just forget doing an entire distro and release Mate as just a desktop manager / DE option for adding, selecting use...

I'm far from being an expert, but I had a thought about this. Is it possible the failures are happening when some other particular program is running? Like, conflicts, or resources being tied up?

Just an update: I've discovered that my copy of TrueCrypt works properly under the KDE desktop (Kubuntu v12.04). By this, I deduce that the difficulty I've encountered when using Xubuntu v12.04 is...

Hi! Much of this is over my head, but I did read all the posts... Anyway, I had a thought about this:

"medibuntu" sounds like it's some kind of medical program. However, checking in Synaptic, it...

I've relied on TrueCrypt for a long time, and it's performed flawlessly under Ubuntu v10.04 LTS. But, since the forced switch to Xubuntu v12.04 LTS, I've run into a problem, I'm sure the difficulty...

Ahh... I was wondering when that deadline would slam down. That explains the lack of updates lately. So, they hustled out one last (seemingly defective) kernel update before cancelling support?
...

I'd suggest installing Kcalc. I think you'll like it. It's simple & intuitive enough to learn quickly, and (at least under Ubuntu v10.04) has the memory function buttons in the default display. (If...

I installed this update ( to the -47.109 kernel) into my 'Untu v10.04 OS's, and ever since then I've been having trouble w/ Ubuntu v10.04 on 2 different machines; a Toshiba laptop & a Dell laptop....
