I was wondering if anyone knows of some existing software that would provide a place to store design ideas? I have been working with a few friends on some projects outside of work and we always end...

After digging a little more it looks like everyone is using USB 3.0 for the docking station these days so I think #2 is out of the question as well. It looks like my only option at this point is to...

I currently have a desktop machine running Ubuntu 12.04 and another desktop running Windows 7. Both machines are showing their age so I would like to consolidate/replace them with a laptop. My only...

Does anyone know if it is possible to setup Ubuntu to automatically delete files from the filesystem after they expire? Here is what I have in mind:

1. By default files stored on the system are...

It isn't FOSS, but Dassault Systems (makers of Catia and Solidworks) have a 2D CAD program called DraftSight that is a direct replacement for AutoCAD. The best part is that it is free and they...

I am trying to go completely paperless in a small engineering office and I need to find a solution to signing and stamping technical drawings. Our current process is to print out a drawing, have it...

Ok, this is starting to get ridiculous. I have really tried to give Unity a chance, but this problem keeps popping up at random across 2 computers which makes it extremely frustrating to use. Here is...

I have a file server at home running Samba and about 10 years worth of files. The files include images, video, documents, and lots of CAD data. I have tried my best to keep the server organized, but...

Ok, it is definitely a configuration problem. I deleted all of the config directories (.config, .gnome, etc.) from my user directory and then ran "unity --reset". Now everything seems to be working...

Unfortunately that was the first thing I tried. I still have a bar across the top. It doesn't really matter anyway because I've moved to OpenELEC for my home theater PC.

I don't want to add "unity --reset" to my start up because it would take an incredibly long time to start up. Also, I have made several customizations that I would need to recreate every time I...

I ran "unity --reset" and everything came back until I rebooted. Now I'm without applications again. This is pathetic.

I just had a major crash of Unity while opening a browser window. After I restarted my computer all of the applications in the Dash menu are missing. It doesn't matter if I click Internet Apps, Media...

Can someone tell me how to get XBMC to go fullscreen in 11.10? I've tried Unity, Unity 2D, Gnome 3, and the Gnome Classic fallback...but it will not go full screen...there is always a menu bar across...

Well, looks like I have to install ALSA. Why does Ubuntu even bother with Pulseaudo? It has caused me nothing but problems since it was added several releases ago.

I don't think it should be necessary to uninstall pulseaudio to fix this problem. This is 2011...a sound system should have the capability of mixing several sources at once instead of forcing me to...

In my home office I have two computers sharing a set of speakers. I have a line running from my Windows computer to line-in on my Linux computer. I also have a microphone attached to the Linux...

I have two workstations in my home office that are currently connected through a KVM switch to several monitors. One is a general purpose Linux box and the other is my Windows 7 CAD workstation. I'm...

Ok, I have the old Loki Sim City 3000 game installed on my computer and everything was working perfectly until I upgraded to 11.04. Here is a run down of what I had to do to get it running:

I have...

Unfortunately it's pretty common for vendors to be careless with drawings even when there is a NDA in place. They can get away with it because of the disclaimer they put in their e-mail...

This is exactly what I'm afraid of, but I'm not sure how to prevent it. It seems like the only way is to setup some kind of server that will manage access.

Does anyone out there know of a open source tool that will allow me implement something basic digital rights management? I need to send confidential machine drawings to a vendor, but in the past the...

That is exactly what I'm looking for, unfortunately I can't find anyone in the U.S. that sells one. It appears that it's only sold in Europe and parts of Asia at the moment.

I am an engineer and I spend a fair amount of time in meetings for design reviews, quality issues, marketing info, etc. Because of this, I also take a ton of notes and I have a hard time keeping...

I wanted to see if anyone knew of a system that can be used for sharing files between companies? What I am looking for is a web based system that will allow an engineer to upload drawings or CAD...
