My bad. Duh. I had a brainfart. Not enough coffee I guess. Thanks!
Just a quick tidbit that I wish I knew earlier on in my Ubuntu adventure:
When installing stuff, the Ubuntu equivalent of a .msi file is a .deb
But I prefer to use the Software Center or the...
No worries. Also, I am not sure what you mean by the "remainder of these commands." If you are looking for a directory containing a list of all commands that you can enter into a terminal prompt,...
DE was just my abbreviation for Desktop Environment and it is not part of the "Gnome" name.
When I installed Gnome through the Software Center, I just searched for 'gnome' and found it that way.
...
I tried to help a friend with a similar problem. He had an old XP machine (Dell Dimension 3000) that he was trying to recover some files from. He had forgotten the passwords to all of his accounts so...
If you are using Ubuntu 12.04, you can easily install the Gnome DE by using the Ubuntu Software Center.
Just read the question wrong. That's all. Thought he had Ubuntu 12.04.
When I was first being introduced to the Linux environment, Wubi is what I used. It is easy, and non-disruptive. Also, if you are used to installing applications on Windows, using Wubi will be a...
Is dual-booting your computer with Ubuntu and W7 an option? It seems like running Ubuntu off a LiveUSB would be really slow...
Is running a VM an option??
After some quick searching, I did affirm that NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft.
I have also found this information. It may be helpful to you.
If I am not mistaken, WInXP formatted their hard drives in a NTFS format. If I remember correctly, Linux is not compatible with NTFS formats. I believe it prefers FAT.
Thank you for this information. I just switched back to Firefox for this sole reason.
I searched for a long time on how to disable tooltips in Chrome, but apparently, they don't let you do that. I...
Lenovo T61p
Core2Duo 2.4Ghz
4 GB RAM
320 GB HDD
Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
(bought for $150 dollars in 2010!)
Does anybody else find this annoying? Whenever I am browsing the forums and looking for one that interests me, there is a constant, large, tooltip popping up that displays the latest post in the...
I actually prefer the nested menus. It provides a way to organize everything. I dislike how W8 and Unity displays their apps. Everything is in one giant menu and with too many apps, it becomes quite...
sudo apt-get install audacity
Agreed. If someone doesn't want to do a lot of checking, I recommend Lenovo because I believe Lenovo machines are very friendly with Ubuntu. I didn't have to change anything after installation.
...
The searchable launchers are my main reason. However, I also think that Unity is also very touch friendly.
Besides those two similarities, I feel the same feelings of frustration when I have...
In my limited experience, sometimes on old hardware, it is nearly impossible to find drivers for the latest Ubuntu version to use.
I considered adding 1 GB of RAM to an old machine (Dell Dimension 3000) that only had 256 MB of RAM originally. The 1 GB of RAM cost almost $100! I was appalled!!
I decided to dump the old Dell,...
I would imagine that CompizConfig has the ability to change the icon sizes.
In my opinion, Unity is very similar to the W8 environment.
you can install gnome very easily by searching for it in the Software Center
My wife decided that I need to workout more often. She even bought a gym membership! I wonder if I will succeed?
