Java is enabled and plugins in Firefox and Chromium are enabled too. The same configuration works smoothly when implemented on a Windows PC.

Too bad!
In fact, as far as they are independent of the browser, I can run some Java applications and Java version is correctly identified using the command line. It seems to me that something is...

Dear all,
I run Virtualbox under Xubuntu. I use it to virtualize Windows XP 32bit sp3 professional. Everything is ok except that I cannot make Java working in the browser (either Firefox or...

After a few months I decided to face the problem of the Xerox Workcentre 5020 dn driver again.

Since the main problem is that the driver depends on libcupsys2, which has been substituted by...

Hi all,

I'm not an expert of virtualbox and I'm doing some experiments to configure a small Xubuntu VM. Everything seems to work fine, including networking (I'm using the VM right now). However,...

Unfortunately I have to partially correct my previous post. Installation was successful and the printer works fine. However I have now a problem with apt-get. If I run apt-get upgrade I obtain

After a few trials, I opted for Xubuntu. It's easy, fast, and solid. It uses few resources to run (much less than Ubuntu with Unity!). Moreover is Ubuntu-based and you can access all Ubuntu...

I use Clearlook-Phenix and I like it. It is very neat and clean. It has been developed for GTK 3.0 to GTK 3.6.

I've been out of office a few days, so I couldn't try before. I followed your advice and it worked smoothly! Thank you.

Given your hardware, it's basically a matter of taste. As far as it can matter, I prefer using Xubuntu even on a 64 bit / 8 Gb Ram PC!

Apparently Xerox provides a driver for the network version of this printer, only for 32 bit machines. I tried to install it in my 64 bit PC, but of course installation failed.



Has anyone...

Thank you for your advice. In fact, everything (the browser, skype, apt-get, ...) seems to work properly, except Evolution so I think the proxy should be configured correctly. I'll try to understand...

So, you seem to suggest that the answer to my question "is there any difference between installing Xubuntu directly and installing (as I did) Ubuntu and Xfce on top of it?" is: better to install the...

I have Ubuntu 11.10 and I installed Xfce4. I didn't have special problems, apart that I had to redefine the use of the "F10" key that was modified by the new desktop. I also found that I had to...

In fact, SSL is what I need! And trying to change this makes no difference.

Unfortunately, it didn't work! Evolution still hangs on "Fetching Mail"...

BTW, should someone be interested in the issue, I found how to add dictionaries to Evolution. I could not find national...

I will try and let you know! Thank you.

To configure the proxy in Ubuntu 11.10, go in the "System Settings" and under "Network" you will find the proxy settings. However, i tried also with the...

I am using Gnome classic too, and I can open Evolution 3.2.1. The problem in my case is that it hangs when I work from behind a proxy, despite the fact that (apparently) I have configured the proxy...

I had a bad experience after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 and Evolution 3.2.1. No way of having Evolution working properly from behind a proxy. At home it works fine. I have no idea of what the problem...

I found a good compromise with Ubuntu + Xfce. However, this seems to work with my 32-bit laptop, but not with my 64-bit home computer. Or, at least, I could not find 64-bit Xfce.

I have the same problem. In office I use ntlmaps to authenticate via an MS Proxy Server. Everything is fine, except Evolution 3.2.1. Nor manual proxy setting, nor global proxy settings work. This is...

I'm not using Windows since a few years ago. I use Ubuntu all the time, although I find 11.10 to be a bad step back in performance and usability. Very fancy but useless. Some examples? Things are...

I had the same problem and I found a quite detailed answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37313/deactivate-f1-and-f10-keybindings

Thank you for your answer!

However, after a couples of days struggling on the issue, I found right now that for some reason I could not modify the volume setting that I set in Unity. I...

I have installed XFCE4.8 to avoid Unity in Unbuntu 11.10. As far as I can see, all applications that work under Unity work fine also under XFCE4.8, EXCEPT all those dealing with sound (Skype...
