Install the Mate desktop or replace Ubuntu 10.04 with Linux Mint 17 with the Mate desktop.

FYI Firefox 30 on my machine is using 968 megabytes at this time - so 1gb RAM probably isn't nearly enough.
On my 32 bit Windows 7 machines with 3gb RAM I have trouble with Firefox bogging down...
A whole bunch of Macintosh users thought that too. Oops!
Don't bet the farm that there will never be a concerted malware attack on Linux.
In case you are wondering, I don't use an AV program...
I have ordered recovery disk sets from HP for people. I think the cost was about $16 the last time.

What is 3.04?
No sweat - just copy all your important data to your hard drive from your backups. You do regularly back up any important files don't you? To at least two places?

I suggest two hard drives, one for Windows and one for Linux. Drives are cheap! During OS installation, I have only one hard drive connected at a time. When both drives are connected and Ubuntu is...
I have done it many times, starting with Windows 3.0, and found it to be relatively easy although that big pile of floppy disks in the early days could be a bit of a pain. The 100+ linux installs I...
It appears that normal CD/DVD writing software does not create audio DVDs. Are you sure your player is compatible with audio DVDs?
Check http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/ for possible solutions for...
Maybe it is because I am old and dumb but I have had very poor luck trying to share a printer connected to a Linux machine with a Windows computer on the network. Usually when I got it to work it...
If the price is low enough on the Pentium computer, what's wrong with having two computers? To me computers are tools and I figure that I could never have too many tools (or toys).

I don't know which one will work best for Linux (my 2006 model HP DV5000 and my HP Mini 210 have no problems with Linux) but HP laptop reliability has deteriorated badly in the last few years and I...
My first use of Ubuntu was to attempt to resurrect old machines like yours. This was in 2007 and the only version of Ubuntu that provided minimally acceptable performance (acceptable to me, that is)...
Works just fine in Mint 13 so I would think it would be OK in Ubuntu 12.04. I don't presently have an Ubuntu install running but StartUpManager is an Ubuntu program, not a Mint program. I guess I...
Have you installed "Startupmanager"? It should be in the repositories.
You didn't mention it so I have to ask. Did you tell the Windows machine to share the printer?

Not sure about latest versions of pure Ubuntu but in Mint with the Mate desktop you can get this information under System Administration>>System Information.
What's with the "Boo, Hiss"? Are you...
baloney!
Just for information, the "Windows" folder (Win 7)on my primary computer is 12.2 GB but the other files in the partition ("Program Files", "Program Data", "Users", etc) bring the total use of the...
I don't normally use Brasero but it looks like you need to (1) Create a Data Project (2) add the picture files to the project (3) go to the project tab and select Burn. This of course assumes that...
If you still want Windows 7 on your machine, I would suggest that you NOT start installing Ubuntu at this point. It appears that your restoration partition is still there. You need a Windows repair...
I have installed a Windows connected printer many many times over the last 5 years in various versions of Ubuntu and its derivatives and I have never had to explicitly open port 631. Maybe I am...
DO NOT use Ubuntu (or gparted) to shrink the NTFS partition that Windows is installed on. Windows has its own utility - go to the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and...
OP said he was using WUBI. I have never used WUBI but I think the idea is that Ubuntu is a program running within Win 7. I would expect to see increased memory usage.
