I already read the policies and talked with the IT director. They are fine with it, just so long as I don't misuse the technology.

First, please let us know which files you were editing (many system files shouldn't be edited) and perhaps we could work together to figure out what went wrong.

If the files you were working on...

Hello,

I'd like to be able to ssh to my home computer from my laptop at work, but I have never made an ssh tunnel before, and I'd have to do it over port 443 (my office blocks all but a few...

I have two laptops, and would like to ssh to one from the other. However, my work network doesn't allow any communication between devices on the network, other than the internet, so I grabbed my...

I'd like to create a custom panel applet to run java programs. I already have a java program written that simply outputs text at one line every couple seconds. Is there an easier way to do this...

I cannot select windows from the grub boot menu, but all the other options are available. I already ran windows boot repair, then ubuntu boot repair, but I can only run one either way.

Hello,
I am working on a project for which I need to make a specific and lightweight linux distribution. I have made a custom LiveCD ISO based on Lubuntu 12.04 for my project, and when I try running...

I have a 16GB usb and I want to have both Lubuntu and Ubuntu installed on it (so I can run them from any computer, able to access the files on the USB). Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?...

Have you tried with Synaptic?

1. Are you running 64- or 32-bit Ubuntu?
2. Does the software center work?
If so, go to software center and install synaptic package manager. Try updating from there. I can give detailed...

A couple questions:
1. Do you have Windows?
2. If so, what version (XP,Vista, 7)
3. Have you checked the disk for defects?
4. Have you tried reburning the disk at a slower speed to ensure...

This question is very confusing and doesn't have an answer, as the internet cannot be reasonably measured in weight. If it could be measured, it would be the combination of the weight of every server...

I am not sure about anything below, so I may be completely wrong.


In Ubuntu 11.10, there's a new version of Compiz and, therefore, Unity, compared to 11.04. I think that the Google Docs lens is...

If you can afford it with memory and cpu, I'd just install them on Virtualbox. If you can figure out how to I suggest finding out which is lightest and installing virtualbox on that, so that the...

First, I'd try to check that you have enough memory and CPU and that it's not just lag from the computer being slow. Also, check to make sure you have the most recent graphics drivers.

I got the same problem. I just installed Synaptic Package Manager from the Ubuntu Software Center and used that to update my "Unauthenticated" packages (ie. Wine 1.3 update).

Try this:
1. If you don't already have dconf-tools, install it with
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools or from the Soft ware Center by searching dconf-editor
2. Open your dash and search dconf and...

thanks. didn't know the part about the tab key :)

I just switched from Ubuntu to Lubuntu (so everything can be faster) and am installing Libreoffice, as I prefer it to Abiword.
In synaptic I need to install many other packages for Libreoffice to...

Thanks! Finally, the last of the 5-10 bugs in natty I've worked out (i think). Yay! :D

I just installed ubuntu 10.10 32-bit onto my new laptop (I had it on my old desktop PC) and the battery holds about 1 1/2 hours of charge on windows 7. When I unplug it on ubuntu, it says:

Here's what it came up with:

I have ubuntu 9.04 and I'm changing the appearance a bunch (mainly with Mac4Lin). I want desktop effects, but I need Compiz instead of metacity. When I go to the terminal and type:

You may want to consider downgrading to an lts release (probably Ubuntu 1.04). If you want to keep 10.10 try getting better cooling systems and if that doesn't work reinstall 10.10. This is not a...
