This is how KDE Neon works if I'm not wrong. The KDE packages are from a repo they maintain and that keeps rolling and "fresh" while the underlying system stays frozen on an Ubuntu LTS base.

Hi fund_raiser,
I don't think it's quite correct that Linux doesn't support hardware accelerated videos. It does just fine. The problem are browsers. AFAIK, Firefox is yet to get hw acceleration...
Just wanted to mention that this site regularly tracks the status of various Web Extention features as well as the compliance of dozens of the most popular addons.

What you describe is normal then. At the login prompt you first need to give your user account name and then the password for it. You would've created at least one account when you installed Ubuntu,...
From your description it appears that the boot process gets completed successfully and you get as far as the tty login prompt, but you can't type anything right? Did you try changing to another tty...
Shouldn't those entries be archive.canonical.com instead of srchive.canonical.com?
Just a quick question. Is it still the case that Virtualbox's kernel modules will not be loaded by Ubuntu's kernel when Secure Boot is enabled on an UEFI system, unless you go through the cumbersome...
But why is this package broken on Ubuntu considering Debian is upstream and Ubuntu could always pull the non-broken version from the former?
The problem is, every authentication system can be beaten by sufficiently organised efforts. The key is to decide the security:convenience ratio for each object you're trying to protect. I'm wary of...
This is a nice concept! I studied biology (Masters in bioinformatics) as well, and might take it further if things work out. Shall join the Launchpad team. Thanks!
Second sudodus. I have a separate partition for all my personal data like documents, images, videos and downloads. In fact it's actually a 500Gb external HDD permanently attached to the desktop. The...
Hello all,
This weird little problem illustrates how a seemingly "minor" change can cause severe issues in a completely different place!
I've been a long-time user of Ubuntu Linux (since Dapper...
Yeah. It seems that only 'nautilus-dropbox-extension' has this, and I guess those on other desktops are left high and dry. Perhaps the dropbox CLI can do this, but it won't be as convenenient as...
Hello all,
I'm using Lubuntu 13.10 and just installed the Dropbox client and set it up. I notice that using Lubuntu's default file manager (PCManFm) I'm unable to right-click files inside my...
Short but not entirely accurate answer: blame the hardware manufacturers and game developers, both of whom have till recently tried their best to ignore the uprising of Linux. Also many Linux...
Hi caribou suggested you launch Ubuntu Software Center from a terminal emulator so any error message can be spotted. Launching from the menu will not display such messages. Please follow the...
Err... of course it is truthful.
If this is the case then I wonder why the system tries to mount it before the crypt support becomes available, and why a spurious message about it is printed?...
Hmm it seems you've created four primary partitions which means you cannot create any more partitions. That's how the MBR partition format works. People who need more than four partitions normally...
In Lubuntu 13.10 beta1 (always updated) I get roughly the following message printed to my console during every startup:
The device /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not available or ready yet
Press any...
If you want to preserve the state of running applications (as opposed to just restarting them when you login again), I think on Linux hibernation might be the most trouble free way for you, provided...
Never heard of Windows using a dedicated boot partition at least on legacy BIOS systems. I've no experience with UEFI systems. Now you've learnt never to delete/reassign partitions without knowing...
My processor is Intel Pentium (formerly Dual-Core) E2140 (Allendale core) and I don't think it supports either Vandepool or Pacifica technologies. :-(
But I'm told games are slow even with...
Virtualisation generally sucks for games. I don't get the kind of framerates for Morrowind in VirtualBox like I do on WINE.
Well can't say for sure without examining a specific case in question, but in general when you find a specific piece of hardware works with Windows or Mac but doesn't with Linux, it is usually...
Hi, the drivers for your card should be available in the Ubuntu repositories provided you have enabled restricted as well. Start with the documentation here:...
