For viewing medical data such as catheterization and ct-scan disks, I found Aeskulap Viewer in the Ubuntu Software Center on both 10.04 and 12.04 - works fine.
Some time ago, I followed the yellow brick road from: 12.04 LTS / Precise Classic (No effects) Tweaks and tricks to change to the gnome desktop; and sometime after that I noted that the Windows...
Installed gnome (no effects); lost dual boot to Windows; GParted does not show any Windows partition..?????? Have I lost my Windows 7 - was critical to read medical reports.
monkeybrain2012, Thanks, your suggestion worked.
gifford,
Skype icon does not appear in upper border, right side. This was how it was/is in 10.04, but no so in 12.04.
How to shutdown Skype completely? The one way that I've found is to use "System Monitor" and "End Process;" such is quite inconvenient. If the Skype contacts window is up, then "Ctrl + q" will shut...
From a nephew this morning (a little above my pay grade, but I wondered about Linus and the Intel patch):

To each his own: I have several old machines that 10.04 works just fine on, so will stick with it, remembering how many Windows users long for Windows XP Pro after MS's misadventures into their...
Apparently, the problem has come up in 12.1, so maybe I'm okay with 10.04.4; see:

"Canonical’s Ubuntu is not recommended by PRISM Break because it contains Amazon ads and data leaks by default."
HELP? Who can help to get rid of the non-recommendation...

Continuing right along: No usb ports this AM, serious head scratching, nothing in BIOS about usb, found system time in BIOS incorrect, hmmmm - changed battery on motherboard & set time and date,...
Again, the saga continues: One day later, no usb ports recognized; printer, usb portable hard drive, usb thumb drive.........looks as though all usb ports/functions just went bye-bye.
Any help?
Much searching produced this fix: I used synaptic to install usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data. During the installation, synaptic requested that the 10.04.3 LiveCD be inserted - I did that, and...
The saga continued: Having again lost my usb ports, on 09/07, I posted ->

usbmount installed/uninstalled, no difference.
Any help?

Can I uninstall...

Feeling like "El Stupido" here: Somehow in Preferences/Content the Load images automatically had gotten "unchecked!"
Sheeeesh!!
My bad.
Tried all of the above - pictures pull & show, from source; just seems like Firefox is not loading what's there in the source........
Strange: in firefox -safe-mode, on thedailypuppy.com the ads (pictures) show okay, but the pictures of the puppies don't show....
