In the past, I ran 32-bit Ubuntu and "upgraded" (read: re-installed) to 64-bit.

I'm a die-hard Nokia fan. Or rather I used to be - my N9 is the last Nokia I'll ever buy. Or they drop Windows Phone and make something (anything!) else.
I think the days where Nokia make the best...
I've had some "fun" with a Vaio SVS1512 and W8/Ubuntu, EFI boot. I think my root problem was that the power button could activate some mode which wrecked the partition on the disk. The Vaio hardware...
I would hope for either tablet or phone.
I like the idea of a tablet that can properly multi-task - although an iPad user I could easily live without it - as it is a limited device (for me). As for...
In case you want to mount the Shared Music folder, it can also be done as a CIFS mount:
1) Create a mount point e.g. mybookmusic
2) Mount the shared folder with:
sudo mount -t cifs -o...
Now moved all house machines to Ubuntu, including a Macbook 13". No more Windows.
I still use a Macbook for meddling around, but cannot see a situation where Windows returns...
No - you're not crazy! I'm very sure that Windows software has been designed to slow in time (pagefile/registry bloat, disk fragmentation, heavy applications, etc.). There is also a trend to more and...

I still use the N900 although not as my primary phone (I got an N9). The N900 is the most capable telephone device I've ever set hands on, and is suitably powerful for all tasks....
Yes - Nokia N9 (Meego). Runs really well, and is terrific in the important areas for me: telephone, maps, messaging, browsing, media playing. It's a shame Nokia ended this line, IMHO.
I mount the MyBookLive drive the 'long' way:
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<mybookusername>,password=<mybookpwd>,rw,users,uid=1000 //192.168.1.200/<mybooksharename> /localfolder
Then for...
Ooops - sorry about the lack of 'sudo' in step 2...
It looks like you aren't in your 'Downloads' folder. From the terminal, go there with:
$ cd ~/Downloads
See that the installer is there:
$...
I map out a cifs share of the MyBookLive as a local mount onto my (Precise) computer. Then using rsync, I've shipped over some half a million files in one go to the mount location. Maximum file size...
I'm using a pretty clean install of Precise (3.2.0-26-generic-pae #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 16:45:14 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) on a Macbook 2,1. Rhythmbox 'sees' my DLNA server which is a...
I set up MediaTomb on Ubuntu as my kickaround media server. It works nicely - but if I recall correctly you need to have a user logged in to start the daemon, and you also might need to amend one of...
I use Air on Precise, 64-bit.
IF you are using 32-bit, it should be pretty straightforward to install:
1) Get the installer:
$ wget...
I've used PiTiVi (which is a GUI editor) - it is OK for stitching tracks and cutting bits and pieces, but a little unreliable for intensive working.
For basic cutting and editing, ffmpeg (command...
I run Ubuntu servers on old hardware with 512MB RAM. It's possible, but you can max this out if there are lots of things for a web server to do.
I suggest that when you partition the drive,...
Thank you for the post, wallaroo
I grabbed a 3TB mybooklive earlier today, my important stuff is moving over - using rsync - to a share mounted exactly as you described.
Much appreciated!
Your Lion disk should be bootable. Hold down alt/option key when you power up and the disk should be recognised. Boot from it and use Disk Utility from the menu at the top (which might be hidden,...
If you are re-installing, use the installer to 'flatten' the hard disk and remove everything for a clean install.
If not, you can grab gparted and use that to remove the XP partition as the first...
I've got a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 6,2 and I've had some 'fun' trying this stuff. Firstly, the machine was a little non-standard as the DVD had been swapped for an SSD and running Lion from it. I...
I have exactly the same thing - it's been driving me scatty and I only just realised the connection ](*,)

Ubuntu has already passed OSX. I have the latest variant on a Macbook and the day-job 10.10 on a Dell Studio wipes it out in every single area.
All this hype about usability may be dismissed: as...
I've just had some fun with Thunderbird and creating PDFs...
I needed to output some emails, so I opened these in Thunderbird and selected 'Print' - which lets me take the option...
The HTC Hero and Magic devices are good, and I'm of the view that Android will be a major player in the operating system battle that is raging. Like all things, it's an acquired taste - but I would...
