Och, that`s not so bad. I was worried you might be plucking your own eyeballs out. :D

:-\"

Sorry, couldn`t resist.

It was merely a first poor attempt in Gimp to signify a converted household. That was way back during my first weeks & months with Ubuntu and although i have gone...

Not at all. The complete opposite in fact, which, considering my whole attitude towards using computers only a few months earlier was really quite surprising.
Linux/Ubuntu was actually a breath of...

I watched the first two episodes of The Event on TV myself a few nights ago and then i cheated a bit and downloaded the next four.
I actually got fed up with the likes of Lost & Prison break after...

This particular round of upgrades, when i got round to them a few days ago, had been my first where i`ve not already had the development version running on the second drive in my Desktop for at least...

I`ve not seen the film myself yet but even my 10 Yr old daughter reckoned that "the Facebook guy was using Linux for all his work".....well, all 3 girls who went to see it did but it was the 10 Yr...

Set the computer up properly for her needs and then take some time out over the space of a few days+ to show her the basics a number of times. Bookmark plenty relevant information for her as well....

If someone without a separate home partition is going to back everything up and go through with the fresh install then there`s really nothing to be lost by at least having a go at the upgrade first...

Even at about four and a half years now it`s still a relatively short time i`ve been using computers but during that time i`ve been annoyed, bemused, confused, careful, cautious, confident,...

I`ve still got a few crossover cables myself among the couple of dozen ethernet cables i seem to have accumulated and the jackets all different colours/shades. Namely dark Grey, light Grey, Yellow &...

When it came to buying my first completely new computer a couple of years ago i opted for a bunch of parts and a case and built the thing myself. It wasn`t any determination to avoid buying a machine...

If you liked those 2 then you should also like Red Cliff.

One of the best films i`d seen for quite some time.

Monty Python would certainly be up there but some of the funniest movies i`ve watched have been the old black & white classics. Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Laurel & Hardy etc.
Some of those guys...

Nothing wrong with a wee bit of the emotion when it comes to computers but like everything in life there are always those who will take things to extremes.



Whole computers generally dont die...

Bored???

You may already be aware but virtual machines are great for experimenting with other OS`s in a one machine situation like yours, or indeed many other situations.
One computer though should not...

I wouldn`t say i know "so much" about Ubuntu/Linux in the bigger scheme of things but that which i do know i only know at all because of my children, initially anyway. I mean if it hadn`t been for...

I obviously cant be 100% sure exactly what scenario you explained to the TS chap in question but if you mentioned Linux or VM`s then perhaps you could try calling back as though you`re just trying to...

You`ll find an explanation in here.

As far as my main machine(Desktop) is concerned it has the same dual boot setup now as i`ve been using since my very first months with Ubuntu. The "main machine" itself has changed & evolved in that...

Bit of a typo in that command bodhi.
I think you actually mean "lsof" and not "losf". :)

As far as Firestarter itself is concerned that events tab seems to cause more problems than it solves....

Yeah, i actually remember now. Cheers for reminding me.:D
My brains like a sieve at times so it is.

Seems i no longer have need of Wine, not that i had too much need of it in the first place. Spotify though was one of the 2 programs i found myself installing Wine for about a year or so after i...

Very well done to you all.

I have to ask myself if Ubuntu Forums was suffering downtime more often than not around 9 months ago because there seems to be a slight baby boom as a result. :-)

At least you have a genuine reason to be confused about your exact age. My better half knows perfectly well she`s 39 but she`s forever trying her luck with 38. :D
Considering the circumstances i`m...
