Hi Lephosto, welcome to GNU/Linux! I hope you are enjoying your experience so far. Here are a few answers that I can provide:
1. You can start by checking out http://help.ubuntu.com (the official...
EDIT: Just saw your update about not being able to get online. That must be why everything is failing. If you can get online successfully, you probably won't even need my original instructions...
Hello, could you explain what program you are trying to install as well as exactly how you are attempting to do it? For example, did you download the software from the internet someplace, or are you...
Looks like you're having the same issue described here. You might want to try removing the appmenu-gtk package as is recommended in the LP thread.
First, I recommend you use Frostwire over Limewire (it uses the same P2P network but is completely free, unlike Limewire).
Second, you should have all the java-related stuff you need by installing...
This should be gksudo nautilus. Any time you wish to run a graphical application as root, use gksudo rather than sudo. More info
I use a Gravis Gamepad Pro for this sort of thing. It works perfectly with no config of any sort required. Just plug it in and fire up an emulator.
This is an older gamepad and I'm not sure if it...
This is what fixed it for me too. I had tried to load the Sound Preferences and was stuck with "waiting for sound system to respond". While that was still open, I renamed .pulse to .pulse-old and the...
Do you mind sharing your fix for the "Device Busy" error in case others run into it?
I just joined your meetup group (Rick) and I hope to see you at an Ubuntu Hour soon!
Try running this command in Terminal:
sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
The guides posted above are useful because they will help you get other things working, but this...
For anyone having issues getting wminput to run without root privileges (i.e. gksudo), I got this working in Karmic by doing the following after confirming that it worked using gksudo once I had...
I got this working in Karmic by doing the following after confirming that it worked using gksudo once I had followed this tutorial:
1. I created the file: /etc/udev/rules.d/80-wminput.rules. This...
Hi Probable, I came across this thread while trying to resolve my issue, which was exactly like yours: Audigy 2 zs, card not listed in sound preferences, was working under Jaunty. I noticed that when...
This thread is now solved and I wanted to provide some further information.
Regarding removing/reinstalling the desktop:
sudo tasksel is the best way to do this. For others reading this thread,...
This is SOLVED, thanks to paultag in #ubuntu-us-oh and drubin in #ubuntu-beginners. What I had to do was rename ~/.local/share/mime/ , then log out & log in again. My precious thumbnails are back,...
Bumping this up. Suggestions would be appreciated.
EDIT: Solved. See my second reply below for the solution.

For some reason, I can't get thumbnails/previews for .jpg files in Nautilus. Nautilus had been generating them normally until...
Darn, I was hoping this would turn something up. The messages you are getting are unrelated to the problem. I have only used GTKPod once or twice (and that was quite a while ago) so I'm not sure what...
Hmm... whenever I'm trying to figure out why a program isn't doing what it should be, I run it from the terminal to see if it throws any error messages. Try opening a Terminal window, running the...

This guide is based on a similar one posted to Ars Technica...
I figured out how to gracefully resolve the errors some of us are running into in newer versions of Ubuntu and will be posting a new how-to shortly.
EDIT: enjoy.
Giving this a little bump. Anyone have advice?
I had not tried lshw-- I ran it just now and I don't see anything there either. See attached for details (I had to split it into 2 files due to size limitations). TIA.
