    I submitted this a bug and it has been confirmed.

    If anyone knows anything about this please chime in.
  2. [ubuntu] Lock screen allows input and visuals to desktop

    I think the title says most of what I'm having trouble with.

    When I lock the screen (CTRL-ALT-L) or if the screen locks itself due to inactivity, I can often see through to the desktop programs...

    Re: So I got this gift and need help...

    I tried installing Ubuntu on a similar system (atom CPU though) and honestly the biggest (rather smallest) problem was the resolution limitations. Desktop apps couldn't run on a screen that small, OK...

    thanks for this, it really bugs me having the nav buttons on the right and not having the up/parent button is nearly unbearable.

    This needs to be fixed. I've had many problems over the years using the spell check in Open Office and now libre office.
  6. [SOLVED] Ubuntu hangs during boot. kernel 3.0.0-14 3.0.0-15

  7. [SOLVED] Re: Found Someone on My Wireless Network, Now What?

    Its possible that they don't even realize that they've connected to your network. They may have the computer set to connect to any open network.

  8. Re: New Ubuntu Is Out Lets Hear About What You've To Say

    I know this is a bit old but I'm doing the same thing. Gnome-shell is great.

    The updated unity isn't bad, but gnome-shell is very functional and polished.

    The only thing I've really disliked...
  9. Re: Getting ready to get my first Android phone

    I have a chinese Epad tablet and I can say with all certainty that Angry birds plays choppy before I kill tasks. After the tasks are killed it's much better. Believe it or not I'm telling you my...
  10. Re: Getting ready to get my first Android phone

    Perhaps it's the CPU power needed, I'm not sure. I know that killing the apps will give a performance boost. It's noticeable.
  11. Re: Getting ready to get my first Android phone

    I'm running 2.3 on my Galaxy i7500 and I find that after killing all the apps that start up by themselves the extra memory is helpful. Perhaps on the newer phones with more ram it's less needed.
  12. Re: Getting ready to get my first Android phone

    1. on this subject thanks for reminding me about warranty. The warranty isn't a big deal to me since they're only for 1 yr anyway. I want a rooted device.

    2. Isn't the tegra 2 dual core? I think...
  13. Re: Getting ready to get my first Android phone

    Instead of giving advice on apps here are some other things to think about.

    1. Is it easy to "root" (search the web for the device your looking at)
    2. Is it dual core? the newer devices are and...
  14. [ubuntu] Re: I want to download ubuntu and get rid of windows but i am scared

    I echo the above sentiments.

    Also consider having windows available as a Virtual Machine. At work I live and die by VM's and remote desktops. Ubuntu is home, but when I need it I have windows...

    [ubuntu] Re: Stop making the user create a CD Image

    Guys throw the fella a bone,

    He simply means that absolute newcomers have no idea what an ISO is or what to do with it. He's requesting that we make that step either more clear or easier. Most...

    Re: Dumping Natty

    What intel chipset are you running? I have the intel HD on a core i3, Hopefully they haven't screwed up the intel graphics again. They did this 2 years ago and things were bad for about 6 months.
