Sadly, it seems I was just being hopeful for those wanting to use Ubuntu. I am not sure what it is in Ubuntu 12.04 but I tried Kubuntu 12.04 and it ran with similar issues as to what it used to have....
I just want to say that with the more recent graphics stack and kernel 3.2.9 found in Fedora 16, the amount of heat produced and power used by the graphics/cpu is right on with the proprietary driver...
When use KDE I prefer KDE and QT apps; simple as.
Furthermore, Linux is quintessentially about choice, and I am choosing a lightweight, gui-free solution. These scripts are for others who wish to...
Mono and gtk dependencies aside, it still did not even properly run under Kubuntu as it had errors trying to run. Besides, this also uses existing freedesktop standards...
Okay I shall look at the source and add the missing tweaks then. Thanks for the heads up. :)
Firstly, .doc is a Microsoft format, not a widely known open one so the surprise should not be that shocking. MS may have a near monopoly with its Office suite, but that does not mean everything...
dmesg tells about system related events. After it happens, give us the output of:
dmesg | tail
Also, are you using the closed or open source broadcom driver? If using the closed source,...
Okay, I think what I was missing from Jupiter was the cpufreq stuff. For those who are interested, you can bypass the need to install Jupiter and have automagical better power management with the...
It could be related to versions of relevant softwares used in Ubuntu or even to patches put out my Ubuntu. I recommend downloading Fedora 16 or OpenSUSE 12.1 and testing things out via a live USB or...
Can you give the output of:
synclient -l
Also, are you looking to enable side or two finger scrolling?
According to dmesg your card is not supported by the version 260 driver, which is quite an old driver so it is likely that your card is too new. Since you are using 10.10, things like driver versions...
Do you get around 7-8 hours of battery life? The most I have gotten with the open source drivers is around 4 (even with a simple Openbox set up in Arch Linux), sadly. :( If they gave more I would...
Did you use the proprietary nvidia driver before? If so, remove that first. After that, try the following.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-video-intel...
Just follow the instructions which have you updating alsa. In the new versions of ALSA, proper supported has been added for the card in the 722 and it all works perfectly fine. It all works fine for...
I got that watermark as well, but I have one of the laptops with a C-60 APU, and from what I can find it just came out in August so that may affect the driver's support for it. Going to try the...
The gedit error should be a non-issue related to running it as root, and suspend not working is an issue with the proprietary driver from the additional drivers dialogue. Suspend works fine with the...
Just as a tip, things are working great without extra effort in Kubuntu 11.10 Beta, and did in Ubuntu 11.10 as well but 1) Ubuntu 11.10 is less stable atm and 2) I have taken a liking to KDE because...
In regards to the wireless, you can avoid the need to do anything hackish like moving netboot first if you just remove the broadcom-wl driver via the proprietary drivers menu and instead use the open...
I recently ran into this issue, and would like to highlight armitage1337's method of joining the files. It does not require you to download anything as it uses a standard linux command; cat.

GIMP is wonderful for general drawing/painting and image manipulation. If you want to do some 3D stuff, you can install Blender, MyPaint is great for simply painting, and Inkscape is the go-to for...
What corrytonapple said. That, and also keep in mind that Microsoft Office is something people are ready to buy with new systems. Saying that OpenOffice does what it does and comes with an Ubuntu...
Not really. MyPaint is a program aimed at people with graphics tablets, such as professional painters and others who like to paint, rather than people wishing to do simple pixel art or basic image...
You seem to miss the idea. The idea is not the comic, the idea is the what is happening in it. The comic is merely a quick illustration of an idea for an advertisement which would involve a video of...
The following comic and blog entry is about an advertisement idea I came up with for Ubuntu. I was inspired by a scene of two girls sharing youtube videos and such on their Macs in a Café, and the...
