Ah. I see now they serve a couple of different purposes. Disregard.
I'm new to Python and am learning. I'm learning in a Linux environment and using Python 2.7. This is a simple question I suppose, but should I use IDLE or J-Edit? Or does it really matter? Are both...
Thank you! gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true did the trick. I'm officially out of the dog house with the missus.
Sorry for the late response. After posting last...
I loaded Gnome Desktop to my wife's laptop. She didn't like it so continued to boot in Unity. However, suddenly Unity doesn't display the items on the desktop (she doesn't keep a clean-desktop) even...
Thanks, Hadaka. That did the trick. Had to reboot first, but all is well again. Thank you.

I totally agree, snecci. I used to hawk Ubuntu to Linux wannabe-newbies because it is so easy to transition to. But when someone comes back to me with an issue like this, and I have to open a command...
Not sure. I can't even get friends to install. So you're a step ahead of me. However, I had no issues logging into my social networks in the System Manager.
Got it. Thanks.
Friends does not show up in Dash or the Software Installer. But when I type into the command line sudo apt-get install friends the reply is "Friends is already the newest version".
Okee dokee....
Thanks everyone. You were correct, it was a PPA that as far as I know I don't need. I opened the Synaptic Package Manager. Then went to Settings > Repositories > Other Software (Tab). From there I...

Excellent response, Rancoras. Thanks.
Flash was working fine on my 32 bit system, until my wife hit "Install Updates". Suddenly sites that normally played Flash fine, say we need to update. However YouTube works fine in HTML5 and the...
