Sound Juicer works fine for me right now. Rhythmbox can't get CD info. Pretty stupid design to lock these settings away in Rhythmbox. Sound Juicer seems to be configurable through the Configuration...

Any time i try to use Kdenlive to render videos I get this waiting message? Only once has Kdenlive started rendering a video and that was after leaving it all night. It had done 2% of a five minute...

Why would you want to have two desktop sessions running?

Gnome will change dramatically in version 3.0 or some such. But either way Gnome and KDE really target different types of users. So I personally don't see a need to compete. There's room for both.

Actually yes you can. Gnome-Look.org users were recently the targets of malware hidden in a Gnome theme pack and a screen saver. It's currently very rare for Linux to be infected or compromised in...

Microsoft will be providing your search results by proxy of Yahoo in the next version of Ubuntu.

Clearly you cared enough to tell us you don't care. Thank you for your time. :)

Canonical does have a web store. It sells all kinds of things. Why not buy Ubuntu if you're so keen to support it financially?

Yahoo and Microsoft are not close? Ever since Microsoft and Yahoo did their deal Yahoo has been ditching parts of it's services. Much like Microsoft is ditching products overboard like there's no...

True. But the pre-condition was if further updates mess with my settings I'd install directly from Mozilla. Why constantly reset your settings if you don't have to?

At this point we just don't...

Boycott Novell can be so entertaining though. A bit like this thread actually.

Someone mentioned changing to an upstream version of Firefox was extreme. In what way is it extreme if it delivers...

This has me totally baffled as well.

What type of modem do you have? Maker and model please.

Do you have an ADSL router or a hub? The distinction is important. A router is different from a...

The why not remove all the pants games that never ever got above 1 or 2 stars in the old Add/Remove popularity ratings? In fact why not remove all the games from the CD. They aren't essential. They...

Apparently Canonical has plans to ditch the Gimp. Which is pretty sad news for me since it's my graphics/photo editing application of choice and has been since before I moved to Linux permanently. I...

There's a lot being discussed in this thread, some of which seems to be going way off in a wild tangent.

First and foremost. Can another user see my passwords when I'm logged out?


Secondly....

I use Ubuntu virtually exclusively. I only ever use Windows when I need to repair a Windows system. Normally virus/trojan/malware removal.

In fact at this very moment I'm removing a particularly...

Windows Vista and Windows 7 also voluntarily refuse to allow you to record anything with particualr DRM broadcast flags. So you never really know if your going to be able to record the program you...

Freedom from interference.

Often what looks cool and what is functional are two very different things. For most people that doesn't offer them the functionality they either want or are used to. Which means they won't use it.

I like my wobbly windows dude.
