I find Clementine to be the best Linux music player. It has good organization and links to various internet sources. There is an Android remote control that works well too. In addition, if you...

All good points. I've been installing and dual-booting linux and windows for years and I still get cold sweats thinking about stuff like this! (FWIW, I'm considering installing W8 onto a blank...

I never upgrade. ALWAYS do a clean install. Before you jump out of this frying pan I'd STRONGLY recommend backing up your data and doing a clean install from scratch. Make a note of your installed...

I'm not a gamer, so I have the luxury of choosing harware that supports full OSS drivers. I have a Core i7 Quad machine with Intel graphics. Ubuntu 14.04 works perfectly!

For me, Ubuntu is the easiest way to get all the latest software in a slick package. I personally think the whole Unity interface is beautiful and efficient, and you have the rock-solid backing of...

Have you done anything non-standard with your HOME directory? I found (by chance) that Empathy needs your HOME to be exactly per the default install, ie /home/userid anything else and it won't let...

Thanks @rsavage. You of course will realise I spent many, many, (wife-annoying) hours trying to get this machine to run, it was sweet under 10.04. I'm glad to hear 12.04 can now run, at least there's...

@tgalati4 Respect.

Then you're good. If you have backed up all your visible files and folders then that's great. If you want to keep your configuration tweaks (which launchers in the unity bar, playlists etc.) then you...

Long story short. Sell it. Background http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2143402 You picked the worst machine in the world for linux

@rsavage, old friend. I tried talking to the kernel people at debian. I got utterly nowhere...

Well, just idly surfing the forums I find your reply @franklynb. Well done, you're the first person here to **** me off. READ WHAT I F*CKING WROTE and do your OWN research. I can compile kernels, I...

I would say find a project you really want to do and then work out the best tools and learn those. Almost all of my coding has been on one task, for which I have always had a passion. Started writing...

Python, absolutely no question! Look at the 'time' module (part of the built in modules) It will handle all the conversions and the rest is just maths.

I recently spilled a glass of whisky on my MS wireless keyboard, which, after I had passed out from the effect of the previous whiskies, proceeded to endlessly repeat the letter 'z' appropriately!...

As of yesterday we're running the Release Candidate. Pretty much out of beta now. I am delighted with my system and a little bit surprised how little excitement I see in the press in general and...

I always just go to tools, preferences, behaviour and uncheck the tickbox for 'show tray icon' since clementine integrates nicely with the volume applet anyway.

This is your problem. Software rendering


OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)

See my earlier post (uninstall Nouveau is what worked for me)

Canonical have announced that Ubuntu One will be discontinued and will not be included as part of 14.04 LTS

Well, I spoke too soon! With the Ubuntu Browser the integration is back.

Am I the only person on the forum looking at these? In 13.10 I found the webapp feature quite useful; nice integration with the dock and the panel for Facebook, Livemail, Gmail and others.
In 14.04...

One thing I've noticed is that the webapps don't (yet) integrate properly like they did in 13.10: there is no 'active' arrow in the dock against Gmail or Facebook when those webpages are open, and...

To install elementary you'd have to wipe your HD or repartition anyway, so you might as well reinstall 13.10. Elementary is based on 12.04 so it's a bit of a backward step.
Personally, I never use...

Which OS driver is being used? For some Intel integrated graphics chips the software Gallium driver is loaded with lvmpipe instead of the proper intel hardware driver. I had this issue on an Atom...
