I don't use phpmyadmin, but the OP mentioned that he doesn't want the users having access to admin functions. He wants to give users basic CRUD access.
I'm very curious about Elementary OS Luna (they've recently released beta 1). It looks very interesting, the Gala window manager is fast, responsive, and very stable (even in the beta).

Did you manage to close down Skype and Java?
The only things I can think of is:
1) Make sure users are only granted access to databases and tables you want them to be able to access. For example, to give user 'tom' the ability to SELECT and...
While this is not good news for anyone with an nVidia card, I have managed to get dual monitors working absolutely perfectly with an Intel HD 4000 in my new laptop. And when I say "I managed", I...
I'd definitely be interested in such a keyboard if you sold it separately :). I'm definitely OCD, and I'm very particular about my keyboards.
On another note, I love what you guys are doing. I...
Try changing "NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xxx:80" to "NameVirtualHost *:80" in your httpd.conf. Make sure there isn't a duplicate "NameVirtualHost *:80" in ports.conf.
Add a virtual host to...

Could you ping us.archive.ubuntu.com? I tried from here in the UK and was able to ping it:

In regards to a mail client, I would strongly recommend Thunderbird, especially if you use Gmail. I use Thunderbird with the Zindus, Calendar and Lightning extensions. Works great for me. The only...
I too suffered from the brightness problem. The brightness can be changed from the command line using:
sudo su -c "echo 45 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
Just replace the...
A quick way to determine if it's a directory permissions problem is to:
1. First find out where your browser is trying to save these files when the error occurs. If you're using Firefox, you can...
You shouldn't set up virtual hosts in both httpd.conf and in the sites-available directory. If you look at your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file, you'll see down the bottom:
# Include the...
Any chance you'll be doing laptops in the future with Ubuntu pre-loaded? If so, any chance they'll come with keyboards that have a "Ubuntu key" instead of a "Windows key"?
As a very long term Ubuntu user who has deployed more Ubuntu servers than he can remember and uses Ubuntu as his primary desktop/work OS (and Ubuntu Server as his home server), I decided to donate...
I agree with the general feeling here. All these "little issues" add up and deter many people from adopting Linux as their primary desktop OS. Don't get me wrong, Linux is great and all that, but...
TwinView is broken. It will only work perfectly (without any tearing) if you have two monitors that are completely identical in terms of refresh rates (i.e. if one if 59.85 and the other is 59.90,...
I have Ubuntu 12.04 running in dual monitor mode (TwinView). While it "works", there is a very annoying slow tear on the second monitor (a Sony 42 inch TV) that moves from top to bottom. I have a GTX...
It's 2012, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with a GTX460. TwinView still results in tearing on secondary monitor.
alexilni76 - thanks for taking the time to reply. I followed all the steps you mentioned and have the latest drivers (295.59), but I still have "slow tearing". In some circumstances (some videos), I...
Hey alexilni76 - thanks for the instructions. I didn't have a "composite" entry, so I added an 'extensions' section to the very end of my xorg.conf:
1. Open terminal.
2. sudo vi...
For the benefit of those of us who don't know how to set "composite" in xorg.conf, could you please provide step-by-step instructions?
I understand that this bug is closed, but I'd just like to add something about the theming issues - something that was driving me crazy for weeks. Here's how I reliably got around it:

Ubuntu 10.10 has too much awesomeness, which is probably why it's not on every desktop today (because user heads would explode from awesomeness overload):
