I have a Dell notebook PC that has run Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit desktop fine for years. I haven't upgraded because there's been no need. I depend on this for many of life's important and daily demands.

Thanks, Temüjin. Can you clarify the implications of this? In other words, if I install 12.04.1 and get ATI legacy drivers working, would I have to avoid any future kernel update that comes up in...

I see this thread seems to be abandoned, but I'm having the same problem, so I'll try jumping on here before making a new thread. I have been running 10.04 for years on my Dell Studio 1555 with ATI...

I have an old Gateway notebook. Jaunty runs perfectly on it but it is no longer supported and that presents a variety of issues for me as time goes by. I want to run Lucid on it but the BCM4318 wifi...

Someone must be able to help.

I have spent hours reading former posts, bug reports, etc., but I still can't find a solution.

I have an old Gateway laptop with ATI Radeon Xpress 200M. The laptop has an S-Video out. I have...

Same problem here recently. I decided to use Telepathy PPA per post #16 by rodrigoguarischi and it fixed things.

After more searching and experimenting... I tried removing ~/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db then restarting Evolution. So far so good. I've started Evolution, emptied trash, deleted things,...

I can appreciate what your point, chmac, and have been on that side of the conversation before. The freedom thing wears thin after a while, though. I'm free to change engines in my car, or fix it...

The deleting of the *.index and *.cmeta files works for me, too, but this error happens all the time. I'm not going to do this workaround every time. How about someone actually fixing this software?...

@lilbill: Thanks for the detailed reply. It seems prohibitive for someone to mess with all that to contribute to freedb, but I will probably do it for the principle of it.

Shotwell does have a decent GUI and apparently "tags" (with keywords) multiple photos. I don't know if it does it's own thing with my photo files and directories like F-spot, but if it does, that's a...

Thanks for all the helpful replies. It seems nobody cares much about the metadata of their photos. Thankfully, the author of Sagittarius responded to my email and provided the source, albeit in early...

I really need a front-end for exiftool, just like Exiftool GUI for Windows. It won't work in Wine. I think I've tried every photo-related software known to Linux and none of them suit my tagging...

I've been wanting to try libreoffice anyway. Do you know if there are problems running it alongside OpenOffice?

I've since tried digiwf which is based on the work of xmp manager. I tested it on Karmic and it seemed like it had potential, although it is very limited; however, it would not work on Lucid (causes...

I've read sftp can be even slower than scp. Anything encrypted is going to take longer than unencrypted, and I don't need encryption for my LAN. Rsync... I don't know anything about it's speed.

I have been frustrated for a long time with the lack of proper Linux tools to tag photos. I don't just mean comments and keywords. The best I've found is DigiKam, but I don't want to put up with KDE...

The Darktable PPA doesn't work in Karmic for me. The PPA page only lists Maverick and Lucid in the drop-down for sources.list entries, but everything else implies that it works on pre-Lucid releases....

I use basic ssh and scp on a regular basis and sometimes for file transfer... certainly over public networks. However, often I want to transfer large (several GB) files from one place on my LAN to...

Yes, I've tried instructions at that link and others. It makes it all sound very simple. Problem is, it doesn't WORK.

You'd just make a template? Huh. That's what I'd do too, but it doesn't print...

I have searched the web and the OpenOffice forum for answers to this and have come up empty-handed. I've also searched Ubuntu forums. The posts dealing with envelope printing are old AND essentially...
