Thanks for taking the time and having the patience to get back to me on this thing. I now realize that there is a pop-up window for alarm-clock and have activated it and will see.

But...

About the best solution for us who refer the old Gnome 2 simplicity is to go to Mint.

Actually the main reason I wanted to try alarm-clock-applet is that I cannot figure out how to stop the alarm (in alarm-clock) once it goes off! There are no instructions or help, so the only way I...

I did a re-install for the alarm-clock-applet and installed alarm-clock again. No sign of the applet, but alarm-clock is up and working. So I guess the wisest would be to simply stay with that.

Back to it after a fair night's rest.

There is nothing in the "accessories" file, and when I try to open alarm-clock-applet with alt F2 I get a reply that it does not exist. Synaptic says it does,...

Well, synaptic says I have the alarm-clock-applet installed, but it does not show up in any menu. Now what?

José

Well, thanks. No I did not know there were two... and I obviously have the wrong one! So will make an attempt to install the right one.

Many thanks.

José

I have been trying to install the alarm clock for Ubuntu, and am not having very good luck.

The software center and synaptic both have the 1.2.5 version, but I know there is a 3.2. something...

Hmmm... that is interesting. The reason I "missed" them is I did not know what they meant. So I will investigate.

Thanks mcduck... from what I could understand on Google the situation was something like that.

Every so often I run into a short video (from Wimp, for example) that I would like to keep but would...

Very good Mike, but...

I do all my CD work with K3b, but cannot see how to implement your answer.

Can you give me more help?

José

It has been a few years since I used Windows, but I remember we had a program (can't remember the name) where we could add a file to a CD, set it aside, and then later add another.

I find that...

Well, I would agree about not liking the new Ubuntu look. But one solution is to install 10.04. It has the "classic" Gnome 2 desktop.

José

Thanks ¡Geek!

But what I got was little plain buttons... white. I will try what you suggest to see if I can find the applet using Google.

Well, I finally came to the conclusion that I lack the...

This morning while working the top panel stopped showing the programs I was running. I have been looking at forums and it seems that what I need is to install an applet that shows the active windows....

Well, my main question about celeron is answered. But I will have to put in some time this afternoon with installation disks to see just how far they go and why they stop.

So I am going to leave...

No, the machine is not 64 bit. I forgot to mention that it is running Windows XP presently.

What I tried to do was run the installation CDs. All of them got part way and then stuck, either with a...

I have an older machine and I wanted to install Ubuntu on it. No luck, so I tried a few other versions, even the little ones like Puppy Linux and Dam small linus. They didn't work either.

Then it...

I have used my PC for watching videos for some time. Normalmente with VLC under Ubuntu 10.4.

Recently though I have two videos I brought from the States (I am in Argentina) and neither will work....

I must have hit a key by accident (don't know which one) and now my screen is white on black... all programs are that way. I have been looking for a solution, but the quickest way is to ask you. :)...

I have a new Panasonic camera that uses a SDXC memory card. Ubuntu does not see it, and from what I can see in Google it has a format that Ubuntu does not recognize.

But... there must be a driver...

OK... I took the obvious route. I simply unistalled the ttf-mscorefonts item from synaptic. With that I could run "dpkg --configure -a" with no problems.

Thanks for the help.

José

Here is the result of "dpkg --configure -a

I was on the wrong machine before. I ran apt-get update as you suggested. The result is a bit long, and the end is the "problem. I will post it in any case:

Sorry, Started to answer but am not ready yet... and I can't close this. So will come back a bit later.
