All your listed reasons are important to me, but I first tried Ubuntu for my laptop. Laptops are notorious for having poorly-supported hardware, so I did not want to spend weeks tweaking stuff to...
Glad you got it working! Believe it or not, the Compose key is one of the main things I miss when I'm on a Windows machine. I like to use things like long dashes—to name but one—and there's just no...
You'll need to edit the file and fix that last line. Open a terminal and run:
gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
(You have to use gksu because you won't have permission to save the changes if...
Simplest way is probably this: Set up SSH on the Ubuntu system. Then you can use FileZilla to connect by SFTP.
Yay, another stillborn thread from me.
So nobody has a clue? Putting "Kubuntu" in the title turns on Somebody Else's Problem filter? Meep?
You don't need to go through all of that stuff. :)
You can run Adept from the K menu, search for Firefox and install it from there. Other ways include, open a Konsole and type "sudo apt-get...
Hi, everyone!
I've noticed since upgrading to 4.2 that although many things have improved, the Plasma engine will crash every hour or less if I am running 3.5.x applications, particularly Amarok. ...
I just tried that game as a "visiting chieftain" (so I did not log in), and it appeared to work just fine. I got prompted twice by Java about running the applets, the game downloaded (took about 2...
Did you run some "apt" command trying to add repositories to your sources?
Try opening /etc/apt/sources.list and look on line 48. The answer will probably be obvious. If it's not, get some sleep...
I don't see any CD-text libraries mentioned on k3b's requirement's page, but further investigation shows that it is handled by cdrdao, "with drives that support it."
So it seems that not all...
According to this article, a Wii memory card holds a maximum of 2 GiB, so FAT16 (with standard 32 KiB clusters) would be OK.
Simplest way I know of to do this is (assuming your card shows up as...
Have you looked into nVidia's setup utility? I don't know if it would help with your setup because your other interface is an Intel chipset, but it worked quite nicely with my two screens.

aptitude search icon | grep -i kde
If none of the icon theme packs have "i" beside them, try installing one of them. I believe kde-icons-oxygen is the default, but if it somehow didn't get...
Very basic OO Writer basics: http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/category_index/wordprocessing.html
I suggest that at first, you don't worry too much about formatting as you go. Just get all...
I agree! A stick would help... for those who read stickies, of course. ;)
Also, the forum "search engine" does suck. Would it have cost more money to include "AND" matching or something? :? I...
How about changing the icon to some easy-to-recognize "this is bad" symbol, such as a skull and crossbones, or the "biohazard" emblem? The tooltip could be changed, as well, to "report offensive...
help.ubuntu.com -> Search -> ssh -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
I don't think you can do it directly, but if you set up SSH on one machine, then you can open a SFTP session to the other and move files securely from one to the other over an encrypted connection. ...
Looks like the software provides its own Log Viewer. You'll need that to open them, and from there you can export them to other formats such as plain text. So before you can view them on Ubuntu,...
Then chuck it in the BIN? ;)
Seriously, though, the documentation for your keylogger should tell you how to view the log files. Try reading that first.
If you can't even tell people here what...
As far as I know, you don't have to use Gparted to format a flash drive. I do tons of these things at work and we later distribute them to people running Windows, so I format them with FAT32 using a...
I don't believe you ever stated the size of your HDD, but it's going to take a long time. I've been using shred to securely erase some 40 GB laptop drives lately, and for 10 passes it takes around...
Poll is missing an option for "Can build my own but will happily take free machines when available." ;)
After rescuing PCs and Macs from the trash for a while, in 2006 I got a cheap Dell with XP...
Just curious, why be "desperate" to do something experimental like that? Desperation implies need, so why would you need to do that? :?
Nope, yaboot, a PowerPC-specific boot loader. :) I didn't like it as much because you couldn't just edit a text file from a liveCD to fix it, you had to reinstall it on the boot sector every time...
