schragge, I have tried every suggestion for editing the /etc/sudoers.d/ or the /etc/sudoers.d/README file, including the new one (pkexec visudo) you posted above (I'm running Ringtail 13.02). In...

To me, an OS is an OS: whenever a new version comes out I install it.To date, upgrades have always worked flawlessly. I don't follow the latest news about Ubuntu changes any more than I keep up with...

Nope.

As I mentioned, hovering over the area where the min/max/shutdown (mmx)controls should be does nothing. As for examples, Thunderbird recovered all my past e-mails nicely, but when I open the app...

Okay, I first tried the Upgrade function to move from 11.04 to 11.10. That was an unmitigated disaster. I then wiped the old Ubuntu partition and swap file and tried a new install, which worked. I...

Installing 11.10 may have been the biggest mistake in my life, and I've been married twice. First I tried to upgrade, which was an absolute failure. What appeared on the screen after startup was a...

THANK YOU, Hedge! For a few horrible minutes there I thought I was stuck in Win 7 mode. You should post that warning as a separate thread to let people know there's an easy alternative to the new...

I had the same problem after updating the proprietary graphics drivers. Start the computer and, when the GRUB screen appears, chose recovery mode. I deleted the proprietary graphics driver and...

I'll be 67 in 3 weeks, but I've retained the immaturity of a small child and still keep pushing the envelope. I use Karmic for everything except CorelDraw, which I've been using since version 2.0 and...

It worked perfectly. Many thanks. I guess the old saying RTFM! still applies.

Thanks, nano. I'm afraid I've been spoiled by 20 years of Windows one-click installs. I've been trying to install SeaMonkey 2 for the better part of the day and still no luck. I'll read the...

Sorry, it pasted the url rather than the command. It's the one that begins deb: and ends in all main.

I'm having the same problem trying to install 2.0 upgrade.

Following the instructions on that site, I copied and pasted the line

Excellent, and very well stated. My immediate problem has been solved, thanks to another respondent, but I've bookmarked this for future reference after I'm more familiar with the lingo.

BLESS YOU! That was the key. I didn't understand the whole keyring business, although other responders have referred to it. Logging on once I don't mind, the relentless nags were what was puzzling me.

I'm with Jerzma on this. I junked Win 7 because of the incessant need to give approvals, permissions, authentications, etc, etc, only to discover Ubuntu is, if anything, worse. As a new convert (my...

I'm a new convert running Karmic, and I love it. A trial run of Heliode's backup-and-restore method worked fine for me. However, I have a new desktop on the way and, although I've searched this and...

Many thanks from a lurker as well. That's been driving me nuts for the past few days.
