With 90% of computers running Windows, you're always going to need anti-virus. As far as I know, Clam only protects against Windows viruses anyway that's certainly all I use it for.
I may be a little late, but I have just purchased the Dell XPS 14 Ultrabook and can confirm that it runs Ubuntu perfectly without any problems and I believe it is available with all the options you...
I don't know whether you have resolved your problem, but I have the same laptop and had the same issue so thought that I'd best post how I resolved it for anyone else who runs into the same problem. ...
I can't be much help either I am afraid, although I do remember encountering a similar problem when I was looking at changing desktop environments, but I don't remember whether it was XFCE or LXDE. ...
I think it is important to clear up some problems you are having with the analogy. First: all cars come with a steering wheel, it isn't an optional extra. All PCs come with an OS, it isn't an...
That's not strictly true. All OSs are free, they come free with a computer. As Eric Cador of HP said recently "...consumers buy the product, they don't buy the OS." Your average user doesn't walk...
True, but you buy your computer and also pay technicians for repairs as well as buy software, but my point was that no one expects a car owner to sort out their own problems, or indeed any other kind...
Wow! My car is making a funny noise. I could take it back to the dealership, but I think I may train to become a mechanic instead. That way I can track down the problem myself fix it and then...
Thanks this helped me a lot. I had the same problem with the same pieces of software (Adobe Photoshop CS2, Wine 1.4 and Ubuntu 12.04).
I wasn't getting the same error message but other odd (and...
It is probably the first thing that you tried but just in case you haven't; have you tried opening the software centre and searching for Light Themes and installing them?
That should give you the...
Very interesting and helpful thanks. Helps clear up a lot of things and it seems even I was a bit blurry when it comes to root and an admin user. Must be a nightmare as a new user coming from Windows.
Try installing the GUI for the firewall:
sudo apt-get install gufw
Or if you'd prefer, open the Software Centre and search for 'gufw' or 'Firewall Configuration' and install that (both the...
You sure? I can't find anything about that in the Code of Conduct or FAQ? Maybe it should be though.
@nemespheric not really a good idea to try and disable all password prompts as wilee-nilee...
I was just thinking the same thing; that is a serious flaw. That means that if you're changing around user privileges or swapping accounts and do it in the wrong order, there is a very real chance of...
I think that it is fair to say that 12.04 is not completely ready for release, certainly it is the most crash happy OS I have used in a while.
Hibernate seems to have been removed by default...
Done the same thing myself (a few times!), especially on camera cards and PhotoRec has saved my life every time.
Great piece of software.
Did either of you recently upgrade, e.g. to 12.04? If so it is due to Evolution no longer using mbox for mail storage, you should have had a warning about the change the first time you opened...
That is Gnome3, the newest version of the Gnome desktop, Ubuntu went a different way and created Unity instead. In my opinion, although they both suffer the same flaws, Gnome3 is superior, far more...
I couldn't agree more. This is why I am still using 10.04, I have tried Unity and Gnome 3 and after nearly 30 years of using computers, I can honestly say I have never used anything less intuitive. ...
True, Windows is a nightmare to set up yourself from scratch, especially a re-install when the person you're doing it for replies with "What discs?" and you have to track down the motherboard type,...
Sorry, I didn't explain that very well.
Open a terminal and enter:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
That will open a file in gedit (similar to Windows Notepad), away from the...
I understand the ins and outs of it and was being general, e.g. there are no copyright/legal issues with Flash, or Adobe Reader, Microsoft Core Fonts, yet Canonical choose not to include them. They...
Apparently that means that it is using the wrong driver, but it is easy to fix.
Open a terminal and enter:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
That will open a file. Scroll down to...
Ubuntu don't offer MP3, Flash, DVD playing etc by default because they are not open source. Whilst I understand their principles, I do agree that using a hobbled system, without a clear way for the...
