Beginners Team

First, Welcome to Ubuntu. Starting a new operating system can be challenging and the Beginner Team is here to help

The goals of the Beginner Team are to assist new users to :

1. Evaluate Ubuntu to see if it will fit their needs.
2. Obtain and install Ubuntu.
3. Transition into Ubuntu.
4. Deepen their knowledge of Ubuntu/Linux.
5. Become members of the Ubuntu community.

New users :

First, welcome to Ubuntu.

The Beginner Team is here to guide you, help you become familiar with a your new OS and the Ubuntu community.

Specific support questions are best directed to the Absolute Beginner Talk, General Help, or one of the specific Main Support Categories. Within those forums you will receive assistance not only from the Beginners Team, but the Ubuntu Community as a whole. The best way to use the forums is to get involved by asking questions.

Forums FAQ : Guide to Forum features ** INCLUDES: Thanking, beans, titles, searching, and more

Additional sources of information include :

1. The Ubuntu wiki ~ The wiki pages are a great place to start learning more about Ubuntu.
2. IRC ~ The main support channel is #ubuntu (you may use Ubuntu Servers or Freenode).
3. Launchpad ~ Bug reports, projects, questions.
4. Help is built into Ubuntu. Go to System -> Help and Support.

Working with team :

The Beginners Team is an extension of the Ubuntu forums and is a community of volunteers dedicated to assisting new users. Although the primary focus of the Beginners Team is the forums, the team also contributes to IRC, Launchpad, and the Ubuntu Wiki.

If you are interested in helping with the Beginner Team, please feel free to share you ideas with us on our sub-forum Beginner Team. Please do no use the Beginner Team Sub-Forums for technical support (support questions are more visible in Absolute Beginner Talk or General Help).

If you are interested in joining the team, please see this link :

To those who have submitted a join request, please understand I receive an almost overwhelming number of join requests and can not personally attend each request, thus the link.


Unanswered Posts Team

In addition to the BT, we also have the Unanswered Posts Team. This team focuses on, well, unanswered posts. These teams are not mutually exclusive and some people devote time to both teams.

Unanswered Posts Team

Posts can go unanswered for a variety of reasons from insufficient information to (esoteric) requests for specific technical support. Threads requiring specialized knowledge pertaining to hardware, kernels, servers, applications, etc may take longer to answer. In the event your thread goes unanswered, please understand that you are not being ignored, it is just that it may take a little time to answer some questions.

Please be aware that if you "bump" you own threads, they are no longer unanswered, and so they can not be identified easily as needing assistance.

If you are serious about giving back to the community, the UF Beginners Team is a great opportunity to do so. Many members have found other ways of contributing to the Ubuntu community through their involvement with the team.

And to all those new to Ubuntu out there, welcome!

[ajmorris]

As Rocket2DMn, welcome all new users to Ubuntu/Linux

When posting a question/problem, please give as much info as possible about your issue, it will really help us out.

And as bodhi said, please do not bump your unanswered threads, it makes it harder for the unanswered posts team to find, however, if your thread is really old, like 4 or 5 days old, then you could consider bumping it. Be aware though, if your thread is that old and unanswered, it may be because no-one knows the answer, or it could simply be because someone who can answer it, didnt see it.

Welcome to ubuntu once again!

Guys,

i am very new to Ubuntu. Most of my life i have used window. As i am really new to this, i would like a little guidance. The first question i would like to ask is, how do i activate a new disk? I have formatted my second drive and don't know how to activated it. Second question, can Ubuntu be acessed via remote control(RDP) from windows?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Dave

I think you both may have better luck creating new threads (or searching the forums) than you will posting in this one. The people that help are eager to do so in normal threads but often ignore posts in stickied threads.

I think you may be better served if you start a new thread.
