For Visio, try Inkscape. I used to use Visio regularly and thought it was the one thing I'd need to keep windows for. I now use Inkscape instead for professional quality diagrams though and they're...
I guess it always will be until they stop seeing it as a threat and start seeing the opportunities like any real innovator does at the moment.
I imagine that would put your system in a fairly random state so unless anyone else here suggest something better it sounds like a complete re-install of Ubuntu would be worthwhile. You should be...
Sorry if this seems too obvious a suggestion but it's not a wireless mouse with a battery is it? If it is, the battery's probably just low.
If it was free as in open source free software right now I'd probably still use Linux for my main desktop and XP for some niche stuff occasionally.
Three fresh installs of Hardy have worked fine for me except for the included Firefox 3 Beta regularly hanging on my main machine. It's a beta after all though so I don't see that as a big deal and...
No problem - and thanks for the updated to mark it solved.
You should be able to do this OK. One way would be:
Install XP first (just because the Ubuntu installer does a better automatic job of handling the fact that you already have an OS there). Create...
I've had Ubuntu and Fedora on several quad cores and both run fine. A collegue also asked me to put it on his 2xquad Skulltrail machine (total of 8 xeon cores) and that's fine too.
Running some...
Sorry - posted but misread your bit about NOT installing firefox 3. Please ignore :(
Thanks for the effort here folks. If anyone does come up with a satnav with good Linux support I'd be interested to hear about it.
It's valid enough as opinion but that's all. The daftest bit IMO was actually
Now I've nothing at all against the Red Hat folks and use their stuff regularly but people putting together...
Hi,
I'll kick this one off and maybe others will fill in the gaps...
Just personal opinion - I'd get going with the motherboard to give yourself some confidence then fiddle with the more...
I was wondering if anyone had come across a way of downloading and installing new TomTom satnav maps via Ubuntu (or other Linux variants). TomTom's supported mechanism is an application called TomTom...
If you're going to do a complete clean install (it sounds like you are) you can just reinstall XP over one drive, then install Ubuntu and select the second drive in the partitioning options (it'll...
You can add a line into /etc/fstab to do this. There's a starter here -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
I don't know about a GUI but you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and move around the sections which define the various items on the menu.
Depends what you use it for. I've never seen Hardy or Gutsy go over a gig of memory in normal desktop use.
The above usually fixes it for sure. If you get stuck, this thread helped me with a similar problem -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=756708
You can certainly run Linux from flash but whether you can boot from a flash drive depends to a certain extent on your Bios. Check that out first.
Either way, I'm not sure if simply copying the...
Most people reckon around 192 is about right but it varies depending on your personal taste and ears.
If Grub's not installed, or you just want to check what's there, the instructions here might help -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
Included in the instructions is a section on how to...
OK - I'm maybe going into too much detail with the following but just to help me with the diagnosis, assuming you're working off the CD installer it should go something like:
Boot from CD
Select...
When you first boot the machine does it give you any option to press a key and get into the Grub menu. If so, could you describe what you get? With your setup it should be something like:
