Ok so over the weekend I did some experimenting and came up with some very strange results, although I've done a dumb thing and not worked out speeds!! Doh!
Anyway, I've tried a Skandisk USB thumb...
It's a Kingston 16GB FAT32 and I need to correct myself here - it's USB 2.0.
I must admit, I'm using the old copy and paste way and not the terminal. I will try what you have suggested and let you...
Thanks for the replies.
I'll have to try and work out out slow the copying is although I'm not sure on the best way to do this although I can say that to copy 1GB of data (being one file) from HDD...
Hi all,
I've been looking into this problem for some time now and browsed the forums and net in general to try and find the solution or work-around to this big problem!
As the title states,...

EDIT: It's okay I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/64241/how-do-i-switch-to-xubuntu

Thanks, I'll look into this.

I guess the next question is, how do i sort this out? Is it just a case of assigning permissions to each user's folder to deny access??
Thanks for the reply TheFu.
So if i give the folder i want to share, the correct permissions, how does the other user find that folder? Users can't access other user's profiles can they?
What is the deal with sharing folders?
I want to share a folder with another Ubuntu 13.10 user on the same computer. I've shared the folder and chose the option that requires a password to access...
I had Dropbox syncing away as well. Not sure this has anything to do with it, but all info helps I guess! Does anyone know what actually courses this, or is it one of those mystery bugs that needs...
Thanks 0N3
I've been tinkering with Ubuntu 13.10 and after installing the Skype Wrapper noticed that the icon at the top right of the screen (the gear icon) was missing. I'm very new to Linux so I'm not sure...
