Okay, Dropbox flat out saved my ass right as I was sharpening my katana and preparing for an honorable death. Nevertheless it would be nice to know what happened. Kinda scary that hitting Ctrl-X,...

I'm using Kubuntu 14.04 on my file server and a workstation. There is a symlink on the desktop of my workstation pointing to a directory on an nfs share on my file server. I cut and pasted two...

I just upgraded my kernel in Ubuntu 10.10 to 2.6.38.7-candela, and subsequently the desktop is loaded before my nfs share mounts in my fstab:

# Data partition...

Thanks for the excellent replies, and I must say that "Anything Windows-based is useless...." is one of the funniest quotes I've seen in the forums. Like the Metallica song, sad but true.

It looks...

I've spent the last few days reading countless how-to's about setting up various software RAID configurations, and while normally I can figure things out on my own or with some online help this time...

You're welcome. I don't think previous versions of Ubuntu had this problem, so the P1006 driver must have changed somehow.

Did this work for you in 9.10 or 10.04? I haven't tested to see if it's...

For anyone using an HP LaserJet P1006 printer under Ubuntu 9.10, choosing the HPIJS P1006 driver results in anything small being printed very faint. For example, small text and thin lines (Google...

Okay, this is getting stranger by the moment. It appears that uninstalling PulseAudio didn't directly resolve the issue but merely triggered something that temporarily resolved it.

I installed the...

I had the problem a few days after a recent installation of Ubuntu 9.10. The laptop had similar problems in Windows XP, with the sound clicking occasionally though no app was trying to play anything....

I'm configuring an email server using Dovecot and Exim4. It will need to allow several email accounts to send/receive email both within the LAN and from the Internet using unencrypted SMTP...

Awesome, thank you. It turns out that FastDomain doesn't offer "standalone" DNS registration and requires that you pay for web hosting services, etc. as well. I'm going to use either register.com or...

In the next few weeks I plan on moving from Bluehost to a Comcast Business line so I can have more control over my web site and mail addresses. I have a nice quad-core 8.04 server set up and it's...

It's still an issue as far as I can tell. Ubuntu should dump Network Manager completely and use something else. Network Manager has been terrible from the beginning in nearly every aspect. Its main...

Hi all, as the owner of Eight Virtues I wanted to provide you with some information about my company. We're about a year old now and are still going strong thankfully. While everyone talks about the...

I have the following scenario:


/media/Data drwxr-xrwx root root
/media/Data/Instructions -rw-r--r-- root root

I have a user in its own group and not a member of the root group....

Oh well... Good job on the original. Canonical's pretty hard core about their branding and trademarks. I've heard stories about them going ballistic over use of the "buntu" in domain names and such...

I'm a little late to the game here, I know. I saw the logo someone made and had posted here and thought I'd juice it up a bit:

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop AMD64 with all updates other than the proposed repo. After creating a new user, logging out, then logging in with the new user, I receive one of two prompts. Subsequent...

See bug 163865 in Launchpad (here).

The bug's been confirmed but not assigned or given a priority. I'd say it's a fairly serious issue and hope it will be addressed reasonably soon. I sell desktop...
