I'm not wishing to speed up my Internet connection as such, just spread the download over multiple sessions. At the moment, if I start the update process going and then cancel at 50%, I don't know if...

I want to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, and Update Manager is telling me that it will take several hours to download 1.5GB of updated packages on my relatively slow connection. Because of the use of...

I've had trouble with Flash on 64-bit Jaunty for months (usually that Flash just stopped working in Firefox, and I had to quit and restart Firefox to fix it, at least once a day). After doing the...

I can't claim to be an expert, but I believe DVI and HDMI and essentially the same with a different plug, so using the adapter should not degrade the signal. See...

See http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Auto_Login#Note_on_Ubuntu_Gutsy_.287.10.29_through_Hardy_Heron_.288.04.29 which talks about MythTV but can be used ok for other purposes, just by...

I've been looking at bulk renamers. pyRenamer is useful if you want to rename all files in recursive sub-directories to, e.g., *.mp3. krename, however, was more useful for me with my mix of files, as...

I have a similar problem (a load of music files, some mp3, some wma, with no extension). Again, Nautilus recognises them as mp3 or WMA (which is actually labels as ASF video), but most music players...

Just a hint, I expect you mean 7.10, not 7.01. This might matter if you do searching, for example.

Hmm, I'm not sure it was a good idea to have such a major change of the forum at the same time as a new release of Ubuntu. I imagine that there will be a lot of posts with people asking questions...

Does anyone know why the Ubuntu wiki sites (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ and http://help.ubuntu.com/) don't have 'discussion' or 'talk' pages for each article, as Wikipedia and other wikis have? There are...

Thanks for this thread. I've just shaved 10 seconds off my feisty system by doing the profile thing (the --background is of course already removed).

I noticed that the original boot file, before...

Interesting idea, I voted it should be a third-party project though, at least initially.

I posted this in the tech support thread, but maybe it's better here. On page http://www.ubuntu.com/UpgradeIssue it says:



The bit in bold (my bold) isn't true, is it? Many people in the other...

You need to install the package called 'idle'.

If I run (for example) Writer, it takes say 10 seconds. If I change nothing in it then quit it and run it again, it is quicker, presumably because of caching and so on. I think that is the effect...

This is great. (I used used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QtGnome which is similar but also includes instructions to get the XLinSans font).

Anyone know whether there's a colour scheme for KDE to match...

I'll back this - anyone seen any KDE 'Human' themes, at least for colours?

Nice tip. You can also do this without having to type by opening several tabs to the sites you want, going into Firefox options, then clicking Use Current Pages in the General section.

Alternatively, is there a way you can hide the 'Moved' threads? On one page of 20 threads there were 8 moved threads! I don't quite understand the point of the Move system if it still shows the...

The thing in Add Applications is the normal (i.e. not as good) Direct Connect client, not DC++.

Maybe the DVD stuff in this thread should be split off into a different thread, to keep this one Win32codes-only.

No, backports and multiverse and different things.

Yes, I'm seeing the same resize problem. I didn't have this problem in hoary, but I think I was using Sun's 1.5, so maybe that will fix it. For the moment I'm using the 1.4 as described at the top of...

Seems to be a problem with the blue theme - works ok with the brown theme.

Hey, could this thread be unstickied now? Seeing as we have the Official Backports Launched thread stickied too
