Thanks for your response. For some reason nowhere that I looked was reporting that my version was EOL.

I'm having an issue where I'm unable to install any programs. When I try, it tells me "Requires installation of untrusted packages". The advice I read said to try sudo apt-get update followed by...

Thanks for your post!

After running into a few bumps with the install (the downloader constantly wanted to repair the file and then couldn't find the C++ package it needed to do so), I managed...

Shameless bump. Still stuck on this one.

I recently managed to install Steam and download Call of Duty: Black Ops using Wine 1.2.2 (not sure why the version seems so old, got it from the Software Center) in Ubuntu 11.04. Everything works...

Awesome! That worked out perfectly for me. Thank you very much! :D

I'm having trouble getting my current installation of Windows Vista to see my Linux partition on a separate hard drive. Here's the dilemma:

On my old computer, I had a Windows partition and a...

Going to try and revamp this thread. Still having the same issues where after awhile programs will not start. Can't start new instances of gedit, can't start VLC, their processes just... stop. ...

I'm going to give this one last bump in desperation. Anyone? :-\

Now it's doing this thing where applications that still work produce no sound, and logging out doesn't fix it, so I have to restart my computer completely every time.

Does anyone have any idea...

Bump.

As added new information, if I don't kill the "hanging" process, it continues doing what it was supposed to do as I'm logging out. For example, I'll try to play a movie in VLC, it hangs...

Not that I know of, but given the age of the computer (it was assembled by me about 2-3 years ago, top of the line at the time) I wouldn't be surprised.

Is there a utility I can use to check...

So I'm opening a thread in general because I'm not sure where else to put it. The problem is hard to explain, so I wasn't able to find any other posts or articles, because I'm not sure how to go...

Something I'd like to note for those of you who are experiencing lower FPS or performance than you would expect: playing WoW (especially 3.0.x) under Wine consumes a lot of resources. I'm running an...

Yes, I've considered that too. But my connection has a download limit per 24 hour period, so that's out of the question.

However, I have managed to get it working so far, and I'll document what...

Alright. So I'm trying to install WoW on Ubuntu 8.10, and it's not working out for me. This is sad, because being able to play my Windows based games is about the last thing I'll need to switch...

avtolle: I followed your advice and went to that sticky. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much. :D

Thank you both. :D I hope I can find a way to expand it completely if I decide to, because I've done a lot of work with this installation and would hate to do it all over again if I install...

Bump.

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my Windows machine, and elected to do the "inside of Windows install". It's come to the point where I have run out of space in Ubuntu, and wondered if there was a way to...

I'll post here as well. I'm wondering if Evolution can work with RPC over HTTPS, because at the moment I can't get it to work. I read something about Evolution simulating it using OWA, but even...

Thank you so, so much Forlong. The fact that you've stuck with me for over a week on this is amazing, and I really appreciate it.

I have one more request, and then I'll leave you alone. The...

Compiz install with seemingly no errors; all that outputted was some unpacking, selecting previously unselected, etc.

compiz --replace yielded this output:


daren@daren-desktop:~$ compiz...

Thank you for the information. :D

Here's the output of the locate command:


daren@daren-desktop:~$ sudo updatedb && locate compiz
[sudo] password for daren: ...

That looks MUCH better. Here's the output:


daren@daren-desktop:~$ sudo updatedb && locate compiz | grep -v ^/var
/etc/xdg/autostart/compiz-fusion-emerald.desktop...
