Yes, you relegate them equally to the obscurity zone, where their influence is least effective. You are that much afraid that new user will be exposed to the truth of Ubuntu, which is that they...

There is your opinion, which reflects your personal experience, and then there is the real world of desktop users - this is a world in which Linux (greatly influenced by Ubuntu) has little if any...

Thanks!

By "mostly servers", I guess you mean network servers for businesses not connected to Ubuntu servers, from which I get my programs?

Wow, that's surprising! Is it a temporary account that's assigned when an app launches, or is it a permanent account for each installed app?
Would it be impractical to make PC Linux systems more...

I may have a clue here for those who can interpret it, but first to be clear on the file content:

Whoops, I stand corrected on the file /etc/localtime being missing this was presumed so when I...

These files seem to display what they are supposed to, with the exception of /etc/localtime which does not exist on my system. /etc/timezone does, and it's contents are

Report my own post? I didn't break any rules! What's so wrong about allowing the OP the "Close Thread" button for his own thread? I don't want you to answer that question, I want you to THINK about...

Sometimes I find that I'm no longer happy with the way my question was worded, that after time (>24 hours but <48) to think about it I could get better answers by asking from a different angle. So,...

This is my rcS file under that path, and the "UTC=no" line was unchanged before I put the # in front of it:

# Default settings for the scripts in /etc/rcS.d/

We all know what a liability the Windows registry is to Windows, and we all know that Apple keeps it's core code a secret and it's doors closed to most innovative developers. I also know the obvious...

You read that correctly, and it's not an allegation that I would make without an investigation first.

At some point, Kubuntu began doing this. Yes, I went through the Settings Date/Time dialog....

Thanks, that did it. I did have to clear my cache, after that it starts normal.

After several reboots, it appears that my window buttons (for any program window) are permanently gone. If clarification is needed, I do mean that bar which contains the Minimize, Maximize, and Close...

I have Windows 7, Xubuntu, and I thought I would try Edubuntu as well. Now I've decided to stick with Xfce, but Edubuntu has made itself the default system to boot. If I just delete the Edubuntu...

Well, thanks for shedding light on this issue, however dark. What hardware would you recommend for Debian-based Linux?

Can anyone recommend a source to begin educating myself on the finer points...

Oh, thanks, Freddy - I was just trying to get this question in a more appropriate forum (maybe hardware) after discovering that it exists, and now that those here have stopped answering you stuck me...

Hello, I cannot play flash video for more than 20 minutes without my Toshiba laptop overheating and dieing when it reaches the cutoff temperature. I hope there is a sort of driver available somewhere...

Thanks for trying to shed some light on this issue! My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5933. Since most Toshiba products aren't supported by the company for Linux by the, I hope there's a site...

I know my hardware is still good (unless it's hardcoding failed to shut it off before damage could happen with the last incident), because I could boot this machine into Windows right now and load it...

This message got buried (it's on the fourth page inside of 8 hours), so I tried re-phrasing it in a different post.

Thanks! Can't imagine why this setting isn't the default, but choice is good.

Is such software available for Xfce? Windows has had it since XP, and at work it has made all the difference in preserving my sanity. I frequently find myself forced to work with multiple windows of...

Why have all the mtp applications I've tried crashed this way? How do I clear my "mount points", and what does that mean anyway?

The only time this error ever failed to stop me from mounting my...
