Logitech's webcams have been "out-of-the-box" friendly for me on Ubuntu 12.04 -- no problems at all.

Ubuntu has kept me virus free for 7 years now. My kids don't ask to use my laptop ever ;) so...

Nope, I'm still hanging on to LTS and Gnome. Unity doesn't like my old laptop.

Yup, six years running on a System76 Gazelle. Upgraded the battery and that's about it. Runs like a top.

Ditto on the great service responses to my wireless problems and othes for the last 6 years. Sticking with Ubuntu helped me steer clear of lots of problems.

Reliable? Absolutely no glitches since 2006. Top-notch, as in extra bells and whistles? No. Basic but solid. As some others noted, I prefer USB external mouse -- the trackball or wireless mouse are...

If you mean the built in encryption installed during the upgrade process, yes. I wish I hadn't. The next time I upgraded, I lost my home folder, ouch. I'm manually encrypting now using gnupg and...

Used both. Both are good, it's a matter of what grabs you, I think. Linux is a great world in that people have lots of excellent top quality choices.

I've used Thunderbird, Outlook and Evolution, but have switched to mutt. Thunderbird is superb and the others aren't bad, but it's truly a *nix thing to learn how to put together 3 or 4 mini programs...

I'm into Year 4 with my gaz3 from System76. They just replaced a battery for me which is way better than the original. Now that's what I call support!

Nook works world wide, too. You just have to make the purchase from the US or use a proxy, what I do overseas. Works fine! Plus, the Nook uses the standard epub format. Kindle uses the mobi format, I...

For me, hands down, System76 has the one-stop shop for solid compatible hardware and software, especially if you're an Ubuntu fan. Their support is top notch, and personal too.

As others have mentioned, I use what works -- if it doesn't exist as opensource, proprietary's fine -- so Skype, Flash, Adobe Reader (yeah, why so big?). It'll be a landmark/watershed day when we...

Just Ubuntu on a System76 laptop for 4 years now. No viruses. No meltdowns. No money for software. No regrets.

45. everything.

One possible option:
- Click on the top left window menu for System-Administration-Printing.
- Select the Printer Options tab.
- Go to "Printout Mode"
- Choose the lowest ink setting available....

I've tried most of the players available, but recently found Listen. It's simple, has playlists and gets the job done. It might be worth a shot.

I've hovered many times over the upgrade button on the Synaptic Manager program. But after listening to the many difficulties of upgrading, I'll stay with my first gut feeling of resting in peace...

My Gazelle laptop is 3 years old now and running fine. Sys76 delivered fast, everything worked out of the box. Support response is quick and helpful. Great people, great product. I will almost...

I've had 4 Dells (albeit with Windows). Three had defective network cards. My Sys76 has a poor battery (they since fixed this problem with recent models) but their service/support has been great. ...

I prefer the terminal which I leave open in at least one workspace or access with a Ctrl-T keyboard short cut. You can also use the deskbar-applet instead of Alt-F2.

[quote=iaculallad;5271577]Try this using your terminal:
For User:

sudo rm -rf /home/your_username/.local/share/Trashor

I tried several other tips elsewhere first, but your little bit of...

I managed to fix the same problem today. My method may be dangerous, there may be a better way, as I'm still a newbie, but seahorse is up and running now. Here's what I did:
- Uninstalled and...

OK, tried it, but so far exim gets me further along in the process. Right now, I can access my IMAP inbox, but cannot send. Will keep tweaking either smtp option till something works. I keep getting...

I love my Gazelle value model. I hope they've upgraded the battery though. My battery life is down to 30 minutes or less after a couple years usage. Sys76 support is excellent and responsive,...

I would love to join the holy grail of mutt email, but having troubles. I've looked at many other help files, but they are all for other mutt+something-else setups. Is there a walk-thru-guide for...
