Mine is Bigbird, my wife has Zoe, my son has Zoot. I use Muppet character names :)
Except for the old network printer. The first one I bought was connected network AND USB. It backfed power...
I bought a Brother HL4150CDN when my Samsung 300N went belly up. I'm pretty happy with Brother's linux support. They have a section on their web site devoted to linux drivers, the install...
Have used Ubuntu as my main OS since 2005. I've tried to learn KDE a couple times over the years but always seemed to have trouble finding things and gave up. I'm trying again. I have installed...
After 10 years in enterprise hardware consultation/configuration, I'm done. There are way too many IT nerds out there and they're diluting the workforce and making it difficult to obtain and keep a...
Appreciate the comments. ALL of 'em. As I said in the beginning. I'm not whining about linux as much as I'm trying to get an idea across. Ubuntu is my daily OS by choice. I would venture to say,...
Been using Ubuntu since about August of 2005. I still have issues. Now before you go jumpin' all over me, I'm not whining. I'm going to try to get an idea across here.
My rear analog sound jack...
My Samsung CLP-300N is about to go belly up and I don't want to put more money into it. Looking at all kinds of network color lasers and am narrowing in on the Brother HL-4150CDN.
I'm really not a...
Try from this page. This is where I was able to uncheck the settings->Hardware Acceleration box
Just right click on the page anywhere. Don't start streaming or anything.

Just right-click on the page and go to settings and uncheck the box for hardware acceleration.
That seems to have fixed flash in...
YouTube crashing my firefox here as well. Ubuntu 10.04. Seems to have started with the latest flash plugin update as I don't install from outside the repositories.
** edit ** ok I can do youtube...
Ok I'm really not a dummy, I promise, but for the moment I feel like one.
I use VMs for various purposes. Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit is my daily OS. I have VMs for XP, Win7 and OS X Snow Leopard. (I...
Your ram will be a determining factor in how well windows performs in a VM. I have a Dell Zino HD with 8gigs of memory. I run Ubuntu as host and often have an XP and Win7 VM running as well for...
running OS X on non-Apple hardware is against the Apple EULA. That being said, I went on to experiment...
Using an unaltered and legitimate OS X Snow Leopard DVD, I was able to install OS X into a...
The key means it's locked. You can't move/resize it if it's mounted. You can't unmount it if you're using it. Try booting a live CD and use gparted from there.
I have XP in a ViertualBox VM. It was just a whole lot easier than the whole multiboot thing and I can have Ubuntu and XP running at teh same time if I want. :)
If you have Desktop Effects turned on, try turning them off. I love my spinning cube desktop switcher, but for some reason, when I turned off Desktop Effects, my flash started working perfectly. ALL...
Just FYI, I've been tweaking my install procedure and last night I was successful in doing the install from a retail Snow Leopard DVD. Not one of the "customized" images. I did use a modified boot...
This was mainly a personal challenge for me.
I have a Dell Zino with an AMD processor (X2 6850e) and an ATI HD4330 in an MXM slot (like a laptop). I have no idea what motherboard they use in this...
I have this issue when using VirtualBox to program my universal remote. Lately it is only the keyboard, but the mouse keeps working fine so I minimize the virtual machine, maximize it, and the...
The Extended partition is just a container for logical partitions. You can mount what is INSIDE an extended partition (other partitions) but you can't mount the extended partition itself.
stick-on labels are terrible abominations. Don't use them. If they are the slightest bit off center it can REALLY wreak havoc as the out of balance condition is exaggerated at the speed a CD spins....
For new people, think simple solutions.
Right-click the panel, choose Add to Panel, scroll down the list a little until you see Force Quit. Add it to your panel. To use it just follow the...
way too complicated, folks.... on a fresh Lucid install, first thing I did was go to the Ubuntu Software Center and install Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Done deal. Flash works fine. Even that pogo pogo...
I've had trouble booting the live CD as well. It does eventually get to a desktop but it takes a really long time. I had better luck by creating a bootable USB flash drive. You might try searching...
