soundconverter is in the universe repository, so all you should need to do is ensure that's enabled in Software Sources and search for it in synaptic or Add/Remove. Tick a box and it'll install. No...
In the find statement you need to escape the * so the shell doesn't interpret it. You should be able to do what you want with this
find . -name \*.class -exec rm {} \;
That'll find all...
I suspect there's not much you can do to play them. They're encrypted with Microsoft's Digital Rights Management, so need a Microsoft licence to decrypt and play. Funnily enough we don't have those...
Just open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type
totem
totem will then run and any errors that occur while you run it will be displayed on the terminal.
Ignore step 8.
For step 9 instead of running ./install run
sudo ./install
and enter your password.
That will run the install script with root priviledges.
The root password is disabled by default as a security feature on Ubuntu, as any potential attackers will know you have an account called root so they only need to crack the password.
You should...
Just note that su won't work in Ubuntu as the root account is locked. You need to use sudo for the last line, i.e.
sudo make install
so the full thing for Ubuntu would be
Quick install:...
The final part of that needs root permissions as it won't be able to write the binaries to the required directories for the install, so you should issue
sudo make install
to do the...
The expo and scale plugins for compiz might help too. Just start multiple apps in the various workspaces and show how you can switch between them using scale or drag them between desktops using...
Mine are:

I'm 35 and I use Ubuntu for everything computery. I haven't got Windows installed on this box.
It was Feisty when I could finally get rid of Windows as all my hardware would work.
My printer now...
You can use recovery mode to fix this.
Reboot the machine and press ESC when the GRUB prompt comes up to enter the menu. Select the entry with (recovery mode) beside it.
Once that's booted...
There's a tutorial here.

I had to learn vi a few years back as it was the only text editor on the machines at work (we were basically...
What happens if you do
sudo shutdown -h now
The -h flag sends the request that the system should be halted or powered off.
It could be recoverable. If the command mv still works then you should be able to sort it out.
What your original command
sudo mv /lib /usr/lib
will have done is moved the lib folder from...
Nope. I've got virtualbox running fine here on 8.04.
I installed the virtualbox-ose and the virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.2 24 packages from the Universe repository and I've got a virtual XP machine...
Click the Add button. Then you can browse for any picture to add.
CTRL + ALT + Backspace restarts the X server. Unlike Windows the GUI in Linux is separate from the operating system. You can run Ubuntu or any other Linux without a GUI.

You won't see any characters or the cursor moving when you type your password. That's a security feature. Just type the password correctly and press Enter. That'll work.
Amarok's great. I personally prefer Exaile though, but they're both excellent.
Why not try them both? They're free. :)
Definitely. ZX Spectrum games with FUSE and old arcade games with sdlmame. I'm quite partial to a bit of Doom every now and then too. :)
I've been wanting to switch to running Linux for a few years now (I've always preferred the Unix way of doing things to Windows),
but I've previously always had issues with hardware that I couldn't...
It's not worked. :)
I'm guessing you probably need to install GTK+ first. I think I did. Unfortunately that does require compiling from source as far as I know. You can find it here:...
You can call the SDL version with
xfuse-sdl --full-screen
to get it to go full screen (as I've just found). Seems to not play nice with avant window navigator when coming out of it though so I'm...
