That's where the steps outlined in my initial post (without the uninstallation of Unity) came from. Thanks.
Holy ####, that's a button? Could it possibly be more obscure? That may be the single most counter-intuitive process in my six years with Ububtu. Thank you!

Not very far... so I reinstalled 13.04, using the "delete" option and then installed MATE as described earlier, WITHOUT removing Unity. But Unity still loads after I log on. What do I need to do to...
At the moment I'm not interested in debating the merits of DE's, just in getting the one I have installed to work. I suspect that if I installed another it wouldn't work either, because I think...
After reinstalling 13.04 to fix an incomplete upgrade from 12.10 I was faced with Unity :(. I had been using Gnome Fallback, but since no updates are planned I decided to try MATE, a fork of Gnome...
Thank you all for your suggestions, but nothing worked until I reinstalled 13.04 :(
Even after that it took several attempts but eventually
sudo apt-get --purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install...
This is a desktop, not a laptop. The link you included to NVIDIA's Indian website only mentioned laptops/notebooks. Some quick research suggests that the Optimus chip is only used on cards with the...
1. I have made it a habit to remove old kernels. Normally only the three latest remain on my system. Why is that important or relevant to my issue?
2. Are you suggesting that I should attempt to...
Unable to install NVIDIA driver after upgrade to 13.04
I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.05 a few days ago. I ran software updates and installed everything offered before running the upgrade, but something didn't go quite as it should have: the upgrade seemed...
Temüjin, you are a gentleman and a scholar... and there are very few of us left. Many thanks.
:D
Temüjin: Thank you for this. It helped: now I have some sound... stereo, not 5.1, but better than the deafening silence which ensued after installing the Realtek Linux driver.
I'm using a cheap...
I had the same problem using 10.04. I was hoping the upgrade to 10.10 would fix it.
But no!
I'm also using Nvidia-based cards (2 GeForce 9500 GT's) and I can't find anything in the Nvidia...
Re: Howto: Fix Windows share browsing issues
It did persist.
I deactivated the firewalls on the windows machines and could connect immediately - however, both firewalls were configured to "allow file and printer sharing from the subnet". I...
Done... but it had no effect on my ability to connect to either Windows machine. I got the same response "Failed to retrieve share list from server".
I edited my orignal post with the output...
The Windows machines both belong to the "WORKGROUP" workgroup. (Note the title-bar in Nautilus in the original post.
I only had "Del-Laptop" available to test with, but I unshared, then re-shared...

I've returned to Ubuntu (now I can get my Nvidia graphics cards to function correctly) to discover that I can't connect to the Windows machines on my home network. In Feisty, Gutsy and...
Too late. I followed some advice in another thread:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*after which nothing worked... not even recovery mode. I just finished re-installing Lucid. I didn't reformat, so...
It's very disheartening to receive no response, especially when this seems to be a known problem.
I started to have the same problem - someone else called it a "Logon Loop".
I tried
sudo pkill gdm
startx I get a fatal error: X-Server is running. So I tried
sudo rm /tmp/.X0-lock...
I am unable to log in graphically. When I enter my user name and password, the screen blanks briefly, then returns me to the same screen, with the same log in prompt.
If I enter an incorrect...
That was easy. Thank you.
I want to make vlc the default application for opening avi files.
I tried 'open with a different application', selected vlc and checked the box 'Remember this application for "AVI video" files'...
This is a really trivial issue, but if someone has a solution...
I'm running 10.04 AMD 64bit and bypassing the logon screen ie I boot straight to my Gnome Desktop.

Thank you all.
