I don't use phpmyadmin, but the OP mentioned that he doesn't want the users having access to admin functions. He wants to give users basic CRUD access.
I'm very curious about Elementary OS Luna (they've recently released beta 1). It looks very interesting, the Gala window manager is fast, responsive, and very stable (even in the beta).

Did you manage to close down Skype and Java?
The only things I can think of is:
1) Make sure users are only granted access to databases and tables you want them to be able to access. For example, to give user 'tom' the ability to SELECT and...
While this is not good news for anyone with an nVidia card, I have managed to get dual monitors working absolutely perfectly with an Intel HD 4000 in my new laptop. And when I say "I managed", I...
I'd definitely be interested in such a keyboard if you sold it separately :). I'm definitely OCD, and I'm very particular about my keyboards.
On another note, I love what you guys are doing. I...
Try changing "NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xxx:80" to "NameVirtualHost *:80" in your httpd.conf. Make sure there isn't a duplicate "NameVirtualHost *:80" in ports.conf.
Add a virtual host to...

Could you ping us.archive.ubuntu.com? I tried from here in the UK and was able to ping it:
scott@scott-700Z7C:~/workspace/cpp_projects$ ping us.archive.ubuntu.com

In regards to a mail client, I would strongly recommend Thunderbird, especially if you use Gmail. I use Thunderbird with the Zindus, Calendar and Lightning extensions. Works great for me. The only...
I too suffered from the brightness problem. The brightness can be changed from the command line using:
sudo su -c "echo 45 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
Just replace the...
A quick way to determine if it's a directory permissions problem is to:
1. First find out where your browser is trying to save these files when the error occurs. If you're using Firefox, you can...
You shouldn't set up virtual hosts in both httpd.conf and in the sites-available directory. If you look at your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file, you'll see down the bottom:
# Include the...
Completely disagree. You're saying that customizability and "product maturity" are mutually exclusive. You are presenting a false dichotomy. If you look at the video above, it's not just "messing...
It's not just you. Many feel the same way in regards to the lack of customization in the latest incarnations of Ubuntu. I still sorely miss Ubuntu 10.10 - how fast and snappy it was, the Emerald...
If you are referring to my posts, my apologies, I didn't mean to "bash" another OS per se, I was simply calling it as I see it (while the experience was still in progress and fresh). It was intended...
Looks like I spoke too soon in my last post (about the Intel HD graphics SNA acceleration problem). I found a solution on the Interwebs and re-posted it here:

While I see a couple of folks here jumping to the defense of Windows and then using Windows 7 as an example of how Windows is good, my original post was not about Windows 7 - it was about the...
Any chance you'll be doing laptops in the future with Ubuntu pre-loaded? If so, any chance they'll come with keyboards that have a "Ubuntu key" instead of a "Windows key"?
My experience differs somewhat to yours. I received a brand new laptop for Christmas, couldn't gel with Windows 8 (in my humble opinion, Windows 8 is some kind of bad joke, but that's just me). I...
Why I started using Ubuntu again
I think my last post here was a "cya later Ubuntu, it's been fun!". I abandoned Ubuntu for several reasons, one of the main reasons was I couldn't get dual monitors working without one of them...
"Seek and Ye Shall Find"
Just a quick update - after posting my last post, I decided to spend 10 minutes trying to theme 12.04 (Unity) to something more aligned to my tastes. The result:
Set...
I've reached "breaking point" a few times during the course of using Ubuntu as my primary OS over the years, but I'm slowly discovering that "breaking point" is not "beyond the point of no return".

I agree with the opinion of the OP. It would be nice if Ubuntu was a little more polished in the UI department. I agree with this so much that when I donated (using the sliders on the Ubuntu donate...
