I am using almost clean installs of ubuntu 12.04 on two machines. T am trying to get RDP to work, using Remmina. I plan on adding a Windows computer to the mix, later.

Thank you, everyone, for your input. I appreciate all of the points that were brought up.

I'll consider it, some, through the day, but I'm probably make a backup of the important data on my 11.04...

I have been awaiting the formal release of 12.04, before installing it.

Is there any disadvantage in doing a clean install of the beta, which is at a very late stage, over waiting until it is...

Thank you for your hard work on this document. It is a very informative guide.

Thanks. Deleting the .pulse directory, as described, worked well for me, but the loud sound darn near knocked my socks off when I rebooted :)

I am using Ubuntu 10.04LTS on an old P3 box with a basic soundcard. When I installed some PulseAudio utilities and some other applications, like Audacity and VLC, the drumroll that occurs at the...

Thanks for the link for the patch. I'm a little confused on using it, though . . . should I zip it first? Is it not going to work? Or . . . might it be the two lines of code, listed, to install...

I am having similar problems with an HP laserjet 1000, and hp-setup reporting a corrupt plugin. I am having a bigger problem with hp-setup not seeing the printer plugged into my Vista box on my home...

Hi-

My home network collapsed on its own, a few weeks ago. I don't know why, but since I had to open ports on my Vista McAfee Firewall, in order to restore file sharing, I suspect that an...

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and I wish for my second HDD to automount at bootup, and be a shared read drive to anyone on my home network. I have accomplished this on version 8.04, but I am having...

Hi folks-

This seems like a good place to solicit an opinion:
