Hello again all!

It's been quite a few years, but post-Army and finally in college I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and continue delving into Ubuntu like I once used to!

That...

Hi,
Earlier when I came home and looked on my laptop (I leave it running during the day for SSH purposes), there was a box notifying me that someone was trying to remote access my computer. Thinking...

Do you have port forwarding on your router enabled? I had to set that up before I could get mine to work.

use the graphical manager, in the "places" menu, then just copy and paste

can you still switch the login screen to a custom one, or can you just switch the background image?

ok, let me know if it works

should have worked, yeah. check your boot order?

i don't think you can anymore, pretty sure they did away with changeable login screens after 8.10, but not 100% sure

hmm...don't see why it would be a problem....try reburning them? does it give you any errors?

you mean a usb stick/flash drive? check your boot order, it's probably still booting off of the stick rather than the hdd. i've done that a few times

an ubuntu or gparted live cd

yeah, you should be able to use 64 bit windows with 32 bit ubuntu, the operating systems are seperate, and operate independently of one another. so i don't see why you couldn't.

yes, the drive has to be unmounted to resize
as for the shared file space, it would be a good idea to use either a fat32 or an ntfs filesystem, because ubuntu will read both. keep in mind that this...

also, this link should help a lot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot

first off, use gparted.
second, you'll need to resize the partition to allow for others, if your ubuntu partition uses the whole drive
then, you just set the freed space of an ntfs partition for...

I'm looking to build me a new rig here soon, and I'm looking into the possibility of using the Hybrid Crossfire option, where the onboard GPU Crossfires with a dedicated card. Any idea how well this...

I'm trying to run Xubuntu in VirtualBox Portable, but every computer I put it in it says it can't mount the iso, which is on the root of my flash drive, so I end up having to recreate the virtual...

I want to put Kubuntu on my new(ish) box, so I put a Live CD in and it worked fine. I installed it, and it will work ok until you open and close a dialog box, then the colors go all rainbowy. Why...

Download a CD, put it in your computer, and restart. Should default to boot from CD, but if not go into your BIOS and change the boot order settings. You'll get the Live CD menu and you can hit...

So I found out that the ati driver doesn't support my card, so is there one that does or am I stuck with generic drivers?

So then is there a driver designed for the 3870 x2? Or do I just have to stick with the generic Ubuntu driver?

I have a gutted Dell Precision 670 that I put all new parts in. While I was waiting for my video card to be delivered, I had an Ati X850 XT in it, and I pulled the IDE HDD from my old computer and...

You're welcome, sorry it didn't work.

The desktop evironment. As far as what's different about the sound system, I haven't a clue, because it should be the same, but it's clearly not. Kubuntu uses KDE instead of Gnome. Here's a...

Have you considered going to Kubuntu? If you don't like KDE you can put Gnome on it. But it should work in Kubuntu. I don't know if you have another partition you could do it on, or if you have a...
