It sounds like something's wrong with your GNOME settings. Try the following:

Perhaps this suggestion is better suited for the Ubuntu brainstorm.
On topic: I disagree with the idea. Some packages require you to review their licenses before they can be installed. With the...
Try the following:
Navigate to "System" > "Administration" > "Login Screen".

You should be able to reset all panels by deleting the "panel" folder, which is located in the "apps" subdirectory in the hidden ".gconf" folder located in your home directory. To do this...
First you might want to try the graphical configuration utility displayconfig-gtk. To launch this tool, issue the following command in a terminal:

What I was trying to say is that I don't think CyberLink is available for free, hence the "Trial Version" and "Buy Now" links on the CyberLink website.
My understanding is that CyberLink is...
Can't help you with mounting NTFS partitions in SUSE, but it looks as if you messed up your /etc/fstab file when you edited it by unintentionally inserting line breaks in the lines that refer to your...
From what I understand that .zip file simply contains the source codes of some of the software components that are included in the product. It doesn't contain the source code of the full product.

There's probably no harm in doing it, but as a rule you shouldn't move directories to the /bin directory, as it is reserved for essential user programs, such as filesystem commands. Normally that...
I'm not sure that it'll solve the problem. In fact, if you didn't experience the problem when you used GRUB, then it almost certainly won't.
Recompiling the kernel in Ubuntu does look a bit...
Offhand, I can't say for certain what part of your lilo.conf file causes the loading to take such a long time. I'll hazard a guess, however: it's due to use of the initrd facility and/or the kernel...
Please post the contents of your lilo.conf file.
Haven't tried using LILO to boot Ubuntu, but I currently use it to boot CRUX Linux on my laptop, and there the part of the boot process you have...
As oldos2er remarked, the contents of the .tar.bz2 file you downloaded from mozilla's website is already compiled. Therefore trying to compile the contents of the archive with ./configure, make, and...

I believe the applications contained in the .tar.gz files you downloaded from mozilla's website are precompiled, hence trying to compile the contents of the archives with ./configure, make, and make...
Yes. The shell has an environment variable called PATH that contains a list of directories to search through when you try to run a program. Thus when you type firefox in the terminal, the shell runs...
Installing available updates is always a good idea as they might fix bugs or security vulnerabilities. I don't think the updates will solve your problem, however. :-|
The update manager shouldn't...
Sorry, I overlooked that. It seems the proprietary fglrx driver doesn't provide support for your graphics card, and thus there's no reason to try it. The only thing I can suggest, then, is that you...
That shouldn't be necessary, but, naturally, you're free to do so if you please. However, learning how to troubleshoot and correct problems such as the one you're currently facing will help you take...
That wasn't what he said. He said the following:
That is correct. Imagine having a directory called 'tmp' in your home directory. Following your instructions, one would remove the 'tmp'...
Please post the contents of your xorg.conf file. The problem might be caused by the refresh rate of your monitor being specified in a too conservative way in this file. If that is the case, a...
