Thanks, that fixed it perfectly!

If I try to have YouTube or Hulu go full screen, it takes a very long time (about 2 minutes) to get there (first a white screen, then black slowly filling the screen from the top down, then the...

I'll install it within a couple of days of the final release; my current edgy install is fracked up, but I don't have the time to fix it now, when I know I'm going to want to upgrade anyway.

Just reinstalled with Edgy this week, and it's finals season, so haven't had time to do too much customization, but I'm happy with it for now.

I'm a gnome user, but use KMyMoney for personal finance stuff (just works best for me).

Case: One of the cheaper ones from Fry's (nothing special, but it works well so far, for 2 years)

CPU: Athlon 3500+ Venice

RAM: 2GB Kingston (4x512)

Moboard: ECS A939 Nforce 4

1. Firefox (with all sorts of extensions and such)
2. CrossOver Linux/Microsoft Office (I know, I know, but, for academic papers and such where formatting is everything and professors don't have...

Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 on my desktop (I know, it's M$, but it's my favorite mouse). Mousepad is a freebie from my school put on top of the included Dell one from an older computer (works fine for...

My computer also isn't connected to the TV I don't own. But if I did actually watch TV regularly, and this could somehow make the ads relevant instead of for things I'd never buy, it might be handy....

I already know where my own house is, I was just using it as an example. It's when I'm looking up things that I don't know where they are that it really matters. And Openstreetmap is easily the...

Easier wireless, better ATI support, umm, that's really about it now (well, consistent flash sound would be nice; works great on one install, no go on the other, no apparant reason why).

It really just depends on the specific area being looked at. In some, Google Earth (same imagery as Google Maps for the most part, though with unlimited zoom) provides outstanding imagery, in...

For certain uses and on certain hardware, I can see their point (95/98 are a lot better than a typewriter and an accounting ledger for word processing and spreadsheets, things that XP and Ubuntu...

Is there an easy way for an unexperienced user to install a dual boot system? I guess Ubuntu could try to figure out what partition Windows is on (assuming the whole system isn't just installed on...

Partly, you're less demanding than some people (you aren't trying to do wireless networking, which is a big source of headaches on these forums). And partly, you just got lucky with hardware that...

Assuming you download it to your home directory, just type:

sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin

and just follow the prompts. To run it, it should show up in the Internet part of the applications menu; to...

It's more precise and easier to describe using terminal commands. As long as no one makes a typo, exactly what is supposed to happen will happen. With GUI, you have to describe the buttons and all...

For those with the weird visual artifacts, try hiding and then showing the sidebar (the square kinda button at the top left of the picture space). Don't know why it works, but that clears up the...

From what I've done and heard about, better to do it normally, otherwise you have to run the program as sudo, which is a pain, and potentially unsafe (I doubt Google wants to hurt your stuff, but...

I haven't really been all that impressed with Network Manager. Well, actually, the applet itself is fine, but wireless in Ubuntu is still not that great. I'm using a very common config (pretty...

Your choice, of course. I've found Google Earth extremely useful when planning trips and the like, and I know other people have found it useful as more than just a toy, but Windows Live Local and A9...

You might try installing the most recent NVIDIA drivers, that's what worked for me. The guide here: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper#METHOD_1 worked well (used Method 1, it'll...

If it runs like Picasa, it uses Wine, but it's part of the install, configured so that you don't even know Wine is running (but that's only if it's like Picasa, they could have just ported it...

The computer I'm having trouble on is a Mobility Radeon 9000, pretty much the same problem. I'm going to try to find a fix, I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

Though with Google, it's hard to say what Beta actually means (gmail is still beta, for goodness sakes). But you're right, this is a pretty early beta, and the first on Linux, so we have to expect...
