Thanks ronparent. :]

That was the cleaniest & easiest install I've done yet. Separating the home folder was the best move I've made.

I had no idea I could allocate a partition without formatting it! Thanks so much for your quick response ubername. :]

I couldn't find a clear answer to my question in the forum or documentation, but if it's been answered before, just point me in the right direction.

On my last upgrade, I decided to go with a...

I have the same problem. My drive mounts perfectly fine, can open blank disc for burning, but won't burn -- it fails with any program (including k3b). The programs seem to recognise my drive while...

humphreybc: :]

psycosteve: I found my gaming a bit stunted, but nothing serious, as I can run most of my games and favourite MMOs in WINE without a hitch, including valve games through steam, and...

nProtect GameGuard is definitely hindering Dragonica Online from running correctly in Wine.

I can only get into it through win98 (GG gives an error, but then bypasses and opens the client), but...

Wow, straight to "root" -- scary!

Thanks so much scouser73, I'm glad it was this simple. :]

Guys, I stuffed up a command, and I have an unwanted weird thingy I need to remove. :s I guess it was bound to happen as a relatively new user, and being frustrated with these commands I was using...

Cheers grizzler, that helps a lot. I thought I might have to do something like that; it's a shame to hear it will still be a bit messy, but at least it's somewhat of a planned mess that I can...

I saw red pandas at Taronga Zoo, in Sydney, Australia, as a kid; they're adorable. :>

Interesting.. @ inspired pic.

Hi guys, this is my first real question so I hope I've posted in the right place. I'm pretty new to using linux, specifically ubuntu, and I've succeeded in setting up most things the way I'd like...

I agree with Little Bit entirely.

Except Little Bit, it's already part of the TOS/Code of Conduct. Apparently the TOS holds no weight unless someone feels like it.

No. If I wanted to "aim" or address someone specifically, I would have quoted. I'm reading the thread and responding, like others. tbh I hardly check the usernames in such a discussion, it's...

In some countries they train children to blow heads off and smile with blood on their hands. Good luck getting people here here to care about that either. Cause apparently they make up their own...

That's why websites have Terms/Conditions of Use/Service. "one agrees with the terms under a written or spoken contract to behave in certain ways" = legally binding.

I wouldn't either, but you'd think people in an operating system community could be mature enough to respect others when they're nicely asked to (see OP), including the minors they supposedly welcome...

My younger male cousins might have appreciated some censorship or warning or perhaps a curtain when, as young children, they ran ahead a few feet at an art exhibition for famous children's artist and...

I personally do not think that the OP is asking too much in asking us to consider our members' comfort, and our young members' mental and emotional safety, when browsing and learning within our...

Noted. ;x

I don't know if this helps, especially on such a late reply, but I noticed when I ran sudo apt-get remove example-content today it said that a whole string of "libxine" - type entries were made...

Thanks for the replies and tips, I'll look into those things you suggested. And yes, a boot loader sounds like a good idea for once I get those extra cables, but then I'll try to ditch windows when...

what I would have posted yesterday if I wasn't busy playing with my new toy: Hey, I'm a new user in the gnu/linux community. Just wanted to say not only did Ubuntu prove to be a wonderful and...
