I'm having the same problem and it renders Ubuntu useless for any work - I use dual monitors extensively..

I dual-boot Ubuntu and Linux Mint (Cinnamon) on an IBM Thinkpad T60 with Intel graphics....

It's possible your wife's machine doesn't have the Samba service installed. Check that first....

Please post your Apache configuration files - if Apache is failing to start it's usually a result of misconfiguration.

This could be a result of any number of issues. A DNS problem springs to mind but without further information it's difficult to offer helpful advice. Please could you elaborate - it would be useful...

Hi,

As a starting point, have a look in the Open Printing database for any model you're interested in -

As a general rule though, HP, Epson and some...

Hi,

Could you confirm a few things -

1. Is internet on Ubuntu generally slow, or just when trying to apply updates;

2. Where are you? Sometimes the local update sites (mirrors) can slow...

I'm not so sure about running your Windows partition using a virtual machine - I vaguely recollect that it can be done but it's fraught with potential difficulties.

Instead, I'd suggest you do a...

Given that you can't connect to the internet, that would suggest a problem with the internet settings on the new Linksys router. I'd double-check that the settings on the new router are identical to...

What does the network manager applet show? If it's showing 'Networking Disabled', right click on the applet and make sure that 'Enable Networking' is ticked.

IBM ThinkPad T60. Everything works, except that with a default install, the on-screen display of volume doesn't show when the volume keys are pressed, but it's easy to sort. Even the fingerprint...

Couldn't agree more - it's very frustrating, and very bad news that Linux can't even get USB 2.0 right when USB 3 is already out there....

Further compounding the issue is that Ubuntu now builds...

I've noticed that, even with a normal hard disk installation, USB performance over the last few releases has been abysmal, on more than one machine and with a variety of USB flash drives.

In fact,...

OK, I'm not personally familiar with any of the hardware you've listed, but a quick Google suggests that you've got them in the right order of quality.

You could probably discount the AOpen MX34 -...

Hello,

OK I think I appreciate what you're saying - basically, you're connecting to the net via open wireless connections at public hotspots and you're concerned about security. I am absolutely...

Interesting poll results.. Actually when you said 'media player' I instinctively thought 'music player' and voted for Exaile, and Rhythmbox would run it a very close second for me.. Actually, the...

OK yes, I see your issue. Indeed, I don't think there is a way currently to have Virtualbox run a virtual machine on host startup (or for that matter, to shut said VM down gracefully on host...

Having Ubuntu Server running as a 'service' under Windows Server 2008 wouldn't be feasable. What you could try is virtualisation.
I use Virtualbox on an Ubuntu host, but Windows versions are...

Hi,

I've run into a bit of a problem with Rhythmbox..

I've been purchasing a few albums from Ubuntu One Music Store (now working very smoothly indeed - excellent) and I don't think this little...

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Your precautions sound sensible, but at the end of the day, any security is immediately undone if you give others unrestricted access to your system! A...

For a particular wireless adapter to work, an appropriate driver is needed. If you're lucky (as in the case of your HP laptop), the necessary driver is available in the Ubuntu software repositories....

Hmm, this might sound drastic but you might need to draw a line under everything and start again, installing Windows first, then Ubuntu. I have had really strange issues with the Windows installer in...

If you're using Ubuntu 10.04, easiest way to get lightweight Lubuntu desktop - open up a terminal and type -

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

You'll then have the option of using either...

Couldn't agree more here. I'd be inclined to limit any sort of customization attempts - leave the stock Ubuntu desktop as it is, perhaps just adding a few links on the desktop to useful information....

That's great stuff!

Hi,

Is this an analogue card (with standard 75 ohm antenna socket) or a digital (DVB-S) satellite card?

Chances are, if you're lucky, the kernel should already have picked up the card and the...
