Hello all,
Using Mate 1.8 (under Ubuntu 14.04) -- I'm aware that there is a MATE desktop forum, and I've posted this question there without much success so far, so I'd like to see if I can get...
Sorry to bug you all with what is probably a super-silly question:
For years, I've been happily typing in English(US), French, and Spanish, using nothing but additional keyboard layouts in what...
Wow, Thanks Dennis! That's a useful link for apt-get.
I suppose many believe that Synaptic is just a front-end to apt, but it's good to know that pinning versions in it will only be honored by...
Hi all,
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS -64Bit.
I do not like Firefox 30.x and to make sure I didn't upgrade to that, this is what I did:

I truly hate receiving answers that take the easy way out and blame the hardware, so I hate giving such answers myself. So apologies in advance, but if the PC is six or seven years...

Has it been a while since you've used Thunderbird and had issues with it? If so, I'd recommend another look, it's been very stable for me and for many others.

When a program is installed on your Ubuntu system, the "Software Center" application should show it as installed, and you can uninstall it from there.

Hi and welcome,
First, where is that screenshot from, I mean what application? It's obviously a directory listing, just curious to see if this would happen in any other application, when it...
Mike,
Just my 2-cents worth: Ubuntu 14.04 is the preferred version these days, not only because it's the latest, but also because it's an LTS release (Long Term Support). It is also known to have...

1. Installed gnome network manager
2. sudo apt-get purge widc
3. Rebooted
4. Ran nm-applet, was able to connect using the USB WIFI dongle.

Thanks so much, both of you!
I found additional material elsewhere, and extrapolated from that and what you've offered here.

Hi all,
In a terminal, I issue: xrandr -q | grep "*" - I get exactly what I expected: the line " 1600x1200 60.0*+" is output on screen. It tells me what the current resolution is.

Hi kc1di
It did not resolve the problem, but it's an extremely educational thread, thank you!
I'll report the bug.
I haven't seen this in all my searches here:

Same here, I tried it out when it was still called "gnome fallback" --but the trouble is, can you really count on it being available and maintained in the future, and for how long? I hope I'm...
