Sorry. My Bad!
I have a Plus at home and love it. I am looking at either Wine or Vbox to use it for travel in Motor home where I would have WiFi access.

I have a MagicJack phone setup. I haven't used Windows since Ubuntu 5.10 or so. Does anyone knows if it is possible to run MagicJack under Wine. If so, would it be better to use Wine or Vbox?

If you mostly switch between terminals, you might like quake. It's in the repo. It activates with F12 as a dropdown and allows tabs. Works for me.

This transition will probably be less traumatic for your daughter than for you. Since the demise of Gnome 2, I install Linux Mint Mate 13 on computers for people. They are happy with it. Mint is...

This worked just great!!! I have been looking at that problem for a VERY long time. Such a simple solution.

I don't understand what happened but this moring when I booted Unity 12.04 networking was magically fixed. :confused:

Earl

Booted this morning and everything works fine. :confused: I have no idea what happened, if it was an update or what.

I tried the solution you provided in the link. No luck. In fact it totally messed up my internet connection. Mint 13 works on the same computer so I know it's not a hardware problem. Guess I'll...

I'm not sure there was really a question. It's just that 12.10 install failed and the 12.04 install, which previously failed, worked. Just thought I'd report what happened in case it means...

I have a Dell 4600 with 2 GB memory. I've been trying to install Lubuntu on this thing since 11.10 with no luck. I have Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 12.04 and Mint 13 MATE installed so I thought Lubuntu...

About time to give it a bump I guess.

I run Ubuntu 12.04 Unity 2D on a Dell 4600 with 2 GB memory ... it is slow. That is fact. Ubuntu 10.04 is much faster on this machine.

Earl

Most annoying is the live CD boots faster than the installed version. I know this is an ancient computer being all of 5 years old and only a Centrino Duo but come on Ubuntu ,,,

Earl

For all practical purposes 9.04 and 9.10 are no longer supported. 10.04 is nearing end of support.

Earl

I have been following the upgrade path with Ubuntu with very problems since 9.04 or 9.10 (I can't remember which). In general, the upgrade path has been a good experience for me.

I used...

I use Ubuntu 10.04 which is supported until April of next year. I also use Mint 13 MATE which I like (based on Ubuntu 12.04). I have Unity 2D installed too but find it difficult to work with. ...

I'm disappointed with the performance 12.04 on this machine with Unity 2D. I run Linux Mint 13 MATE and Ubuntu 10.04 on this box too. Unity 2D seems very slow and unresponsive and is disappointing...

The official repos for 9.04 closed in October 2010 if I remember correctly.:(

I had this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 last week. I had GRUB from 10.04 so knew at least something was working. I went into the repair mode in GRUB and ended up at the repair menu. I ran some repair...

The only thing I've seen the clenched fist for is to drag if the right mouse button is depressed. Is the right cursor button sticking?

Upgraded my T60 this afternoon. All went well. :P I kept my theme and icons; I think I've had this set-up since about 9.10 through several upgrades.

I like the way lightDM doesn't use my...
