I use Cairo-Dock on my Xubuntu 14.04 desktop and it works perfectly. I had a problem in Ubuntu 14.04 that if you autoload Cairo you could not use the Ubuntu shutdown button in the taskbar - it would...

Actually WhatsApp works on Android as well (and RIM)

I just wanted to know how relevant the Compiz development still is under Ubuntu. I am one of the people who enjoy bling (love to show off with the Windows users) but it appears as if there is less...

The very first download on this page - MD5SUMS - is a text file which contains all the check sums for the different versions of Ubuntu that you can download. Pick the check sum that is correct for...

Does Thunderbird install in Lubuntu? Not sure what you mean with "Ubuntu-related fixes"...

I could also recommend WiFiGuard by Softperfect. They have a Windows and Linux version of this package that monitors your network and alerts you on any unknown IPs/MACs that connects to it. As per...

Hi AC4RB, This is actually "normal" for today's PCs that if your boot device before the hard drive is a USB device in the BIOS settings and you have a non bootable USB plugged in the PC will not...

Could perhaps double check if that CD boots on another PC/laptop?

I see one of the user comments at the bottom of this article:

Yes, this issue has been fixed after installing the latest updates in 13.10...

I've just read another thread on this forum that seems to have the same symptoms as your PC on Nvidia. Could someone who is more familiar with this driver problem jump in here and give suggestion to...

This does sound like a driver issue to me. What drivers did you load for your Nvidia card? The ones that came with Ubuntu or the propriety drivers?

Hi Barsoom88, Did you actually use the 'Save As' in LibreOffice Writer and pick "Save as Microsoft Word 2007/2010 XML (.docx)"? I have used this function successfully a number of times to save MS...

I agree on Kubuntu but I would rather suggest LXLE - "LXLE is a respin of Lubuntu aiming at a fast and capable desktop for ageing computers. Version 12.04.3 has just been unleashed: "LXLE Paradigm...

My thoughts exactly! Amazing if something fails under Windows the hardware/drivers tends to be blamed but if it is a Linux system it must be the OS....

There is an interesting article in this week's Distrowatch Weekly (http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20130916#feature) called: "Book review: The Official Ubuntu Server Book (3rd edition)". It...

Have you tried LibreOffice? It should already be installed with your Linux installation and it includes LibreOffice Base, a data base program.

> I must say I am quite encouraged by this thread.

So am I - a far cry from the stories you tend to hear of how rude Linux users always are to the Noobies...

I know. I tend to draw a lot on my Windows experience to diagnose problems on Linux just because I spent so much time in the Windows world (at work) but surely very few of us are really any Windows...

I must say I am quite amused by this thread. A user posts a request on the Ubuntu Forum of how to install Windows on his PC to replace his Ubuntu. And this thread is already 25 messages long! I know...

Hi Ryan,

I have used a bootable live Linux CD many times in a situation like this. Just boot up from the CD and you should be able to access the data on your hard drive. Then copy the files you...

Hi Thomas,

I had that exact symptom on one of my PCs, but a Windows 7 one. It turned out to be graphic driver related. It started happening quite often when I updated the NVidia driver to the...

Ouch! That's very unusual! And the built in drivers within Ubuntu? Does it not list your printer?
