OK, i figured it out. I upgraded to the newest version of firefox and it was already set to google.

Hello, this is strangge. I put on xubuntu today only to find that firefox now defaults to ask.com for its search engine.

Where do you make this tweak? I did an lubuntu 12.10 install via the alternate disc. The install completes, but you can't boot the system. How do I apply this vga=normal after installation?

Hello all, I recently bought a few ASUS USB-N13 USB wifi cards so I could upgrade from g to n on a few of my systems.

Instead of upgrading though, the wifi signal strength is lower and the speed...

Hello and Thank you.
That worked like a charm.

It's too bad that you have to resort to this kind of trickery though. It seems like i could easily get some sort of conflicting versions of other...

Hello, This is more of a general ubuntu question, but for now it's specific to shotwell, the photo management software.

I'm in the same boat as you. I have the plextor and kinda got hosed buying that since it doesn't work with Ubuntu. I don't want to buy another usb tuner either unless I'm 100% sure it'll work.

Since i put 3.0.4 on yesterday, can i downgrade? Should i downgrade? It seems stable so far. What sorts of bugs are there in 3.0.4?

-Thanks

Wow, that was easy. Now it works great. Any idea why ubuntu would have such an old version in its repositories?

-Thanks

-I'll...

OK, i figured it out, sort of. If i select Shadow as the desktop, i get into the vnc session.

OK, i setup the gnome default to allow vnc connections and i can vnc in, but still at those horribly slow speeds. So how do i get NX to work through that?
