  1. [SOLVED] Re: Is Kubuntu better for less experienced Windows users?

    Personally, I would advice people who want to try out Ubuntu to try the "regular" Ubuntu that comes with Gnome because KDE has a lot of options, which might be a bit overwhelming if your just getting...

  4. [ubuntu] Re: forgot password and got locked out of lampp

    As far as I know lampp is just a package of separate programs so I don't think it's possible to try to run it the way you do. Instead try running them separately like so:

    I voted 'yes' but not really because the menu's are annoying, it's just that alt+F2 is faster.

    My guess would be that you installed the boot loader on the usb stick, if that's the case you can load Ubuntu with the usb stick in you pc and then install grub on your hard disk. After that you...

    Re: Kde vs. Gnome

    Well KDE does not support GTK applications such as Firefox and Openoffice which causes them to get a pretty basic (and ugly!) graphical representation in KDE. But in Kubuntu this has been somewhat...

    [ubuntu] Re: 10.04 X Resolution

    You can generate an xorg.conf file by running:

    'sudo Xorg -configure'

    However, before running this command make sure you know the specifications of your gpu and monitor.

    [ubuntu] Re: No Internet

    If you are on a wire (which I believe you said you are) try doing this:

    'sudo ifconfig eth0 up'
    'sudo dhclient eth0'

    This should get you an IP address.

    Have you checked if you get an IP address? If not, try manually changing your network interface to up and do a dhcp request. If you do have an IP address can you ping any websites?

    [ubuntu] Re: Unable to install Cisco VPN client

    I don't think the kernel headers are the problem here... It is the driver_build.sh that's
    generating the error: the script can't open it. Have you checked the permissions on that
    file?
