  1. [ubuntu] Transitioning from Ubuntu to Xubuntu/Lubuntu

    I have a PC here called Chihiro that is currently running Ubuntu 10.10 but probably won't be soon. Unity seems to be a bit much for Chihiro's low specs and after four years it seems time to...

    I doubt it is truly 'useless' to you, however it is useless to me. Don't believe me? Allow me to demonstrate the extent of the problem I have with it:

    Video capture and editing on Linux

    This isn't a tech support thread, my webcam problems (which you may have seen) have been solved and my webcam now outputs excellent video and audio. My problem now is the software side.

    Re: Best mod closing line when locking a thread....

    The best I saw was from the Creative forum on a thread about X-Fi Linux drivers, where the mod said the thread had "gone off the rails, rolled down a hill, hit a cow, and exploded".

    Re: why do all linux music players suck?

    I've been using Amarok for a long time, from 1.3.9 (in early 2006 on Kubuntu Breezy) to 2.2.2 (up until recently on Debian Squeeze), but I found I simply could not love Amarok 2. To borrow a phrase...
  6. Re: Is it better to have one BIG distro instead of many small ones?

    There is a fundamental problem with this though. Note the two most popular operating systems, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Note the lack of fragmentation. You know why there's no fragmentation?...
  7. [SOLVED] Re: New router, Ubuntu simply refuses to connect

    I'm somewhat reluctant to, since that would mean resetting the router and WPA didn't work at all the last time I tried. It was suggested that I may be missing the wpasupplicant package. If so, I'll...
  8. [SOLVED] Re: New router, Ubuntu simply refuses to connect

    It doesn't. I specify WEP numerous times, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to want to listen. I create a connection, and specify WEP. Then I click on my router's name in the list Ubuntu gives me, and Ubuntu...
  9. [SOLVED] New router, Ubuntu simply refuses to connect

    I've got an Ubuntu PC here that only connects to the internet through Wi-Fi (the position makes a wired connection ludicrously impractical) and it worked fine for a while. But then the wireless...

    Re: ALSA or OSS?

    I personally prefer OSS. To me, it feels more stable and more complete than ALSA. I used it for a long time, but ended up dumping it after having sound problems with the OSS output on MPlayer, where...

    I'm using Debian testing (with some packages from unstable and experimental) myself, and I'm liking it a hell of a lot. It seems to be the perfect sweet spot between cutting edge and outdated. You...

    Re: New Look of Firefox 4.0 - possibly

    Isn't that a case of going backwards? They had a unified UI for Windows and GTK+/X11 prior to Firefox 3.0, with the result that it looked great on Windows and not so great on anything that wasn't...

    [ubuntu] Re: Low-spec PC and performance problems

    Poll: Re: Does your Browser support APNGs?

    Yes, it failed. It was standardized 11 years ago, yet I never see it in my everyday activities and only one browser (Konqueror) currently supports it. As far as an attempt to replace the animated GIF...

    Poll: Re: Does your Browser support APNGs? (3 MB Image Inside)

    Yeah, they'd rather we use the bloated and difficult MNG format instead, which will never happen because all of the major browser manufacturers have considered and rejected it as a possibility.

    I've been tempted to jump in at the beta myself, though I decided against it. I'll just wait until the final release. It's only a month to wait.
