Hi all,
I'm refurbing an old laptop for someone who's not technically savvy. Just about any Linux/GNU OS works better on this (maybe decade old) hardware than the Windows XP it comes with. That...

Hi all,

I've got a weird issue.
I received a zip file from a Korean friend of indie bands to sample. Problem is the mp3 filenames and ID3 data are all gibberish. I figured out how to fix the ID3 data...
I'm having the same problem with Karmic. Totem and VLC won't display Korean subtitles. I can type and view websites in Korean, but no matter what encoding I set Totem or VLC to use for subtitles, it...
Yeah, I do have ibus-hangul installed. That was installed when I enabled Korean language support (point and clicking). I can type the Korean letters (native phonetic script called hanguel or hangul)...
I just boot up a live usb with the new Koala. I went to language settings and installed an input method for Korean. I just pointed and clicked.
And it worked. I can type in hangeul/hangul with no...
Thanks for the link, @vinutux. I actually saw that thread before posting. I'm wondering if there's an on-the-fly no-copy-to-disk solution.
@lisati. I've had this experience with discs from the...
Hey, all.
I was just watching a DVD, and suddenly toward the end, it just bailed. VLC would just close itself when it got to a certain chapter, and I tried a few times. Totem said "cannot read...
If you have a U.S. keyboard, can you pretend that it's a Korean keyboard and use the right alt as a 한영 (hanyeong) key?
I tried adding the a Korean keyboard layout and enable the "Right Alt Key...
I type in Firefox all the time in Korean. I don't think I did anything special to type Korean. Make you sure you enable it in Language Support and check the complex characters box (which I think is...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this adapter work natively on Linux?
However, I have the same adapter and the system doesn't automagically recognize it.
Does anyone know how to configure...
I have a similar problem. I just bought a wireless USB card that was on a Linux compatibility list. I can see the device on lsusb. But when I do ifconfig, I don't have wlan0 or wmaster0. How do I get...
Wait, so memory usage like that is normal? I've tried running lots of applications -- web browser, video, tuxracer, etc., and still the system won't touch that top third of RAMspace. Isn't unused RAM...
That "System Setting" checkbox -- what does that mean?
My story is that I've never used wireless networking until today, and I upgraded from Gutsy to Intrepid a couple days ago. My wired...
I have an older system, Athlon/1200MHz circa 2001, that usually works well enough for general web browsing, not much more.
What I've noticed on all recent versions of Ubuntu, including the current...
That's awesome. Thank you.
I just noticed that the files I want to backup have really cryptic unhelpful (auto-generated) names, and when I save them to my computer, I'd like to rename them...
Can anyone lend me a hand with authoring a script?
I don't know a lot of intermediate or advanced stuff on the command line. And I haven't done something like this since the days o' DOS batch...
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
That's what I did to point freecol to the newer Java in Hardy, and it works fine. If anyone sees anything wrong with this or knows...
$ freecol

I'm running synergyc with sudo, and it seems to work fine that way. It is annoying though, and I hope an update fixes whatever kernel scheduler is interfering.
...and no dice.

@cayhorstmann: that's exactly where my upgrade hangs.
And the visual effects grey out that window within a second or two.
I tried disabling all the third-party repos in synaptic, then I tried...
It hangs early on, soon after entering admin password, on the first item in the checklist: "Preparing to upgrade."
I'm trying to figure out how to try upgrading from the commandline because maybe...
I thought the same thing, but I tried the distribution upgrade that pops up when you insert an alt CD, and it hangs at the same point -- without trying to access overloaded repos.
Know how I can force quit the update-manager to release the lock?
I don't know another way other than rebooting, and that takes my slow computer like ten minutes (it seems).
I did check to make...
