I mean I suppose you can (if it works) open 75 tabs in a browser, but in general, why?
I mean, you can probably run Crysis and Far Cry 2 at the same time on a well endowed machine, probably wont...
Well we should first test the basics and see if you're ethernet connection is actually sending packets.
Go to terminal and type:
ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
If you get "successful" replies back then...
Happening here on 10.04 and Firefox 3.6.8.
I've noticed something - this only happens when I do an F6 to get to the address bar. On a new tab where the cursor is placed in the address bar...
It has nothing to do with the fresh install, the keyring is latched into a few programs where high sensitivity information is located - passwords, wireless keys, e-mails and account information....
Good stuff, did that cause the desktop to come back properly?
Although it's still crazy that a single option unrelated to anything major caused something so catastrophic.
This is a little strange as you haven't changed or removed your password, just prevented the need to provide it at boot time. I'll think on it.
This is different from login. The key ring is a little program that saves and encrypts your passwords inside the session, things like wireless keys, 802.1x security etc. It's a little overkill in my...
No I don't think you'll cause any harm by running those commands. And yes, if you're in terminal you're in the right place.
Ah, that sounds better. Just to say you would be one of the first people I've heard of being breached in Linux so this should be interesting.
Can you take a few pictures of what you are talking about and post them here. Use the PrintScreen key on your keyboard.
I assume you mean Ubuntu 4.10, Warty. That Ubuntu has not been supported with updates for the last 4 years. You technically shouldn't receive any updates for it. Out of interest why are you using...
Ya what?!
Interestingly, Rhythmbox used to be able to open iTunes based podcast links (with an error) in the past but not any more. I used to get 98FM Toll Troll's podcasts that way, but now I'm on 7 and I...
Possibly this is a good time to mention autocomplete in the terminal. Maybe you use it sometimes, maybe you don't. The way you use autocomplete is type out part of the name of a command and hit TAB,...
It's not necessarily your lack of RAM that slowing you, it's the dated hardware. I found this out the hard way but Ubuntu isn't exactly quick on old hardware - it will run, but not that well. The 20%...
I would never recommend THAT much on a single machine even if it was quad core with 16GB's of RAM. At the end of the day, even with heaps of processing power, there is only one CPU and one bunch of...
That is doubtful, to me it would be unusual if a manufacturer installed 4GB of RAM on a 32-bit setup. It's possible but highly unlikely.
As you wrote that, I've been reading around that the command no longer does resolution detection or resolution fix problems, sorry about wasting your time - it used to be the handiest command ever....
No problemo, in 9.10 it was fixed I think, in other words the default level of the PCM / Speaker channel was left at 100% and the master was left at around 60% which makes most sense. As to why they...
Also if you want a full performance Ubuntu system, making sure proprietary drivers are installed can help. Go into System Menu > Admnistration > Hardware Drivers and see if there are any available to...
Something that can fix resolution problems in Ubuntu is this command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
You'll have to do a restart afterwards.
Not sure about this one.
Network manager or networkmanager or nm-applet or as other people have said there is another pretty good one called "wicd".
What type of Linux did you install? Is is...
Actually, you may be having a problem with the PCM channel being lower than usual, at the same time you may just have quiet laptop speakers. There are a couple of volume controls in Linux that you...
Something similar to saying "Why don't we remove corrupt politicians, inequality, war, global warming... and the list goes on..."
It's in corporations interests to love patents. Patents are great...
