The point about never really leaving Linux is a good one. I'm running Ubuntu on all my servers, Ubuntu/KVM for server virtualization, Linux on my Android phone, Ubuntu for my media center, etc. ...

I totally agree with this. Maybe I was just lucky, but other than a fakeraid I struggled with once, I haven't had a driver problem with Ubuntu since 12.04. Sleep & hibernate rarely worked, but...

LOL -- Don't think I haven't had that same thought!!!

By then hopefully MS Office, Adobe Lightroom and CS, and my other "Desktop" apps will all be running in a browser....

Sorry to report to all here, that I am leaving Ubuntu Desktop to go back to Windows 7.

It's been a long journey since 6.04, and I am better for it, but I need to move on. To make a very long...

Thanks a lot for this -- was struggling with the missing library and this did the trick for Teamviewer.

I value Linux a lot, and will stick with Ubuntu Server for many years to come. But in my case, I don't want a "Linux" desktop....I want a "Great" desktop and IMO Canonical/Ubuntu is the only way...

Mostly certainly am here but only for these reasons:

1) Ubuntu desktop blows away Windows XP
2) Ubuntu desktop is better than Windows 7 in some important ways
3) OSX is just plain irritating
4)...

ok - this kind of stuff gives me some hope. I guess I didn't realize that there was this overlap between the mobile and desktop versions of Ubuntu. If you are saying that once the convergence is...

Thanks for the thoughtful responses. My 2 cents:


I absolutely LOVE that idea and wanted it the first time I saw it. An Android phone AND an ubuntu desktop in combination....sweet. But as far...

Am I the only one that wishes that all the effort Canonical is putting into the phone and tablet projects would just into making Ubuntu desktop completely awesome.

Hey, its their business, not...

Microsoft, like many larger corporations, has figured out that some (maybe most) acquisitions work best when they are left alone. They've largely left Skype alone, and apparently the people who run...

For me, skype only appears on monitor 1, wish it was on both...

This isn't working for me. My x64 Ubuntu server 12.04 will not run the pald executable.... presumably because it is a 32bit exec on a 64bit system. Installing ia32libs seemed way overkill. Any...

DOH! Thanks for this....

Like Dannyboy, I tried these things and got no love. Ubuntu 12.04 x64....

sudo apt-get install python-netifaces

My new Gazelle laptop will (for the most part) not resume from a suspend if the lid is closed. For what its worth its a software bug and there is much discussion on it on launchpad.
...

Something different every time. The last time I was sitting there watching a software compile scroll past.

I did go to System76 support who put me on a kernel version 3.3.6 late...

I have a brand new gazp7 and have experienced a hard freeze twice today when I found this thread. However, I have already been running with all Ubuntu updates.


uname -a
Linux 3.2.0-27-generic...

Well, I just caved and ordered my Pangolin with the Intel graphics 4000. I can't wait any longer and figured I could give it to my wife if things improve. Their customer support said it runs compiz...

Thanks for the tip, those are perfect, but WOW....expensive. I may just bite the bullet and get a System76...stay tuned. I've also heard that Dell is working on a high-end Ubuntu laptop...codenamed...

Finally heard back from their sales support.

I am so bummed..they have nothing with a higher end graphics card and have no near term plans to have one either.


ARRGRGGGRG!!!!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to call them and see what the ETA is on a high-end graphics laptop. I'll report back when I find out.

My Dell XPS crapped out and I need to score a new laptop ASAP. I've been running Ubuntu for years, so a System76 is a no-brainer for me, but on the website there seems to be only display option...

I have the same question. ...all the info on cloud virtualization is server based. How to do desktop clients?
