Thanks, guys, for the input. I had no idea I'd be a statistic, and part of a growing crowd that has been bitten by the bug.

You given me a lot of reading & viewing to do. Bye for now!

I tried to side-by-side install 14.04 (64-bit) from a CD and it took what seemed like forever, and in the process it wiped out Win 7 (also 64-bit). Fortunately, I had a fairly recent Win 7 image...

Duckhook, all I can say is Wow x 4! What an exciting configuration. Thanks for sharing.

QIII --

I've had it with Ubuntu 14.04 -- at least for a while. I've been spending too much time trying to find a 14.04 configuration that would work for me -- for my projects -- for my workflow.

I need...

I downloaded & installed the Unity Tweak tool. Now have a nice big & fat red mouse pointer.

Problem Solved -- thanks for all the input!

I installed XUBUNTU on an old NetBook, and was able to adjust the cursor size on it, so I naively thought I could do it on 14.04 LTS. Yikes.

Now, if only I could figure out how to support a total...

Thanks for the rant. I second the motion. Am amaized that in good old Windows XP (and Vista and Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 ... well, not as straight forward in 8.1 -- yikes) I could use the Graphics...

I have a 8GB desktop with a dual-core processor that currently uses the graphics adapter build-in to the motherboard. I'd like to run three monitors. So I need a graphics card (one that will not...

How can I increase the size of my mouse pointer in 14.04? For what it is worth, I'm a Linux/Ubuntu beginner ...

Overall sluggish performance. I researched the Atom (well, spent 15 minutes, an eternity) and came up empty. I'll give Xubuntu a try.

Hmm. Just turned 74. Wrote first program (in FORTRAN in '62). I'll press on, however! (LOL)

I'd like to install 14.04 on a HP Mini 110-1030NR Netbook:

Intel Atom Processor N270
2MB RAM
16GB SSD storage
Second 16GB SSD storage
1024 x 576 display (10.1")

Craig_Cameron-Weir, have you figured out a solution to the problem. I'm trying to extend my desktop to be shared between two monitors, and, alas, it is not working.

I'm a Ubuntu novice. Background is Windows (and DOS's prior to that) starting with Windows 286. Running Windows 7 on my main production machine, which is used for website creation & maintenance.

I would like to install the...

Guys, I'm a total newbe, and am having the same problem with a HP laptop: max display is 800x600, and I need 1024x768. So, coming from a windows background and knowing nothing about command line...

Running 8.04, with FireFox 3 beta 5. All I get is a blank window with a big "GO" arrow. Don't have that problem with W***** XP/Pro.

Any solution? Is there something else I should download? Is...

I have a Dell C500 Latitude Laptop which previously used Windows 2000/Pro. Today I wiped the hard disk clean and loaded Ubuntu 8.04.

Then the fun began.

The cursor seems "pulled" to the right...

Apparently Umbuto "knows" something of my monitor, because when I ran sudo displayconfig-gtk it indicated that my monitor was set for 1680x1050 and 60Hz.

When booting, I get the following:

Clicking [Restart now] resulted in nothing happening.

So I powered down. Then powered up. Immediately pushed the eject lever and got the CD-ROM drive.

It prompted me for a userid and password. ...

The installation is, I assume, concluded. I have a window which says something like "Installation is complete. We need to restart the computer to use the new installation. You can continue to use...

How did you guys get so smart!!

Thanks. You are opening up a whole new world for me.
