First, run the command, but don't hit "y" Now in the apt-get summary section where it tells you everything that will be installed, copy the output text line by line and paste them to a text file...

install this:

sudo apt-get install gconf-editor dconf-editor
Open dconf-editor and navigate the menus as follows org<gnome<nautilus<desktop. Now tick the "volumes-visable" checkbox and close.

Hold the phone... Does anyone else see the "DVD-RAM" in the output? If that's the case, the drive only takes DVD-RAM disks. A technology that never caught on. Essentially beaten out by DVD-ROM. It...

Yes. In fact, the maximized window aspect of Unity uses it's own seperate theme and code to manage a window in maximized mode as opposed to a standard window that sits on the desktop with it's window...

If it matters, there is a Kubuntu 12.04 DVD release that has all the major software needed preinstalled. Like the codecs, flash, java, ect....

Sorry, but when it comes to the user end, Ubuntu is designed to be fixed and uncustomizable. So to do a simple "button replacement" will in fact entail a rewrite of some, if not most of Unity's code.

Becasue of the overwelming amount of support I have had here in this thread, I was able to find out on my own that it was the PSU to blame. So thank you everyone for giving time to give your opinions...

Sounds like an UEFI PC according to what you are saying, also the screen issue is likely due to either a bug in the screen brightness, or the laptop has dual-graphics, descrete graphics, or optimus.

Nvidia 325 has new optimus support, thats why it wants to install that over 319.

Yeah, it's supposed to be like that. Imagine, using a Wiindows machine, you were in the middle of doing something on your account, but say your child needed to do a bit of research on the PC. You...

Didi you also install gnome shell by any chance?

Also, to fix the Compiz screen tearing, you can also do this:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Then open it and disregard the warning. Do as I say, and no problems should arise....

So have you installed the nvidia graphics drivers yet?

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
But only run the command IF you didn't already install them manually. If you did install manually...

Also, by any chance is this a WUBI install? Did you download Ubuntu and hit the Wubi install in Windows?

Good! Linux Mint is also based on Ubuntu. So it has all the same features, support, and apps as Ubuntu does minus the Unity stuff.

It's not a good idea to install. GTK3 apps outnumber GTK2 apps on Ubuntu 12.04. So only a few apps like Firefox would be themed. While apps like Unity, Nautilus (file manager), Rythembox, system...

Take a look here:

Canonical gives good resources for developing apps on their platforms, both Mobile and Deskop. Also since Ubunu is moving in the...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp gimp-data-extras gimp-plugin-registry
There. Latest version of Gimp at your disposal.

Yeah, Ubuntu is built for modern PC's. If the PC dosen't contain a Socket 775 or Socket AM2 CPU or better, it will probably run slow. Also, the ram is bellow the reccomended amount. Ubuntu needs 2GB...

That theme is outdated and is no longer compatible with any modern GTK based desktop. The theme only has files for GTK2 and no GTK3 files. It can technically be installed, but only apps still using...

@Crusty

Thats a lazy response if I saw one!

To really answer the question, The Xonar XG is based off the Oxygen DSP Sound Chip which just recently made it into the Kernel with driver support....

I also forgot to mention that according to Intel, the DG33BU needs 3 Amps on the 5VSB line, my PSU only provides 2.5 Amps. But I'm not sure to trust Intel's specs since almost all their boards say 3A...

Repositories are only usefull if they provide a piece of software not located in the Ubuntu sources, or if you need a more up-to-date program than what is normally installable. I for one have a few...
