Thank you for writing with this information of which I was unaware.

For Whatever It's Worth:

I have noticed on our seven (7) computers, three running Ubuntu Studio, two running Xubuntu, and two running Lubuntu, all 14.04, that the Software Updater, which we run...

If you are able to open and read this .tex file, I think that the easiest thing to do would be to copy it and paste it into the Abiword program. Abiword is a very small download from the repository...

Dear Brandon,

Reinstalling Ubuntu from its discs means you have installed a 3.2.x version of the Linux Kernel. This version (and earlier versions) of the kernel are not compatible with the 3rd...

I assume you wish to record Internet Radio or similar. It's easy to do this from within VLC itself.

Open VLC, go to View, click on Advanced Controls.

You will see a new control bar above the...

I don't use any program to copy photos from my cameras to my computer.

I merely insert the SD card into the computer's SD slot (or I can use an SD reader which plugs into a USB port). The card...

I have a ZaReason Teo Netbook which has an Intel Atom processor. I am running Xubuntu 12.04LTS. With this system I cannot watch Netflix streaming movies.

If I were to install VirtualBox and,...

:) GetDeb is back up as of last night. I'm glad of that. I was beginning to be worried.

But everything appears to be okay for now.

Thanks for this information. I had never heard of DotDeb and I have now bookmarked it. But I really hope GetDeb is back up before long.

Thanks again.

Any further information about the status of...

:sad: I am currently using Xubuntu 11.10 but that doesn't matter. GetDeb is completely down. For the past two days, when updating, it is impossible to connect to the repository. Even their site is...

If you haven't done this already, go to < http://openprinting.org/printers > and search for your model (it is there; I checked). Download the appropriate driver for your printer and then install it....

Dear Mr. Catre-Vandis,

I cannot provide a screenshot but I can tell you that when I would go into my Home folder, for example, there are the usual folders - Desktop, Downloads, Music, Pictures,...

That's what I'll have to do, I suppose. Note to 'agillator:' I am using the Thunar file manager and, at least at this time, I do not want to switch to Nautilus.

Thanks to both of you for...

I recently installed Xubuntu as I do not care for Ubuntu/Unity. Xubuntu appears to be much faster than Ubuntu. Almost everything functions the same with at least the following exception:

When I...

Dear duke.tim,

I ran the < sudo touch .forcefsck > command you suggested and I restarted the computer. During the restart, the disk was checked for errors; is that what forcefsck does?

Dear Phil,

I read the page (I had read it some time ago) and I still think it's something I myself did, not something caused by proposed updates.

For the present, I can live with the problem -...

Dear Sir,

That is almost certainly not the problem. I have always enabled pre-released updates and in fact have that option enabled on the three other computers (all running 11.04 and one of...

To the Group:

:confused: I have evidently done something which has at least partially corrupted my Ubuntu installation.

I am using a 3-year old Acer Extensa 5620-6419 running an Intel Core 2...

It is possible that some or all of what you did on the unsecured network could have been observed by someone, especially if the network were set up by a hacker.

I would suggest that, once you are...

Dear Seawolf,

Today there were a lot of updates and, during installation, I saw no dpkg error message. So that problem has been fixed.

Thank you very much. I have marked this problem solved.
...

I don't know about the second thumbnail, but in the first one, it appears that you are trying to output to the same location as the input. You can't do that. You'll have to change the output to...

Dear Seawolf,

There was an update this morning (gdm - Gnome Desktop Manager) and, when I downloaded & installed it, I did not see the dpkg error message.

I hope that this is the end of that...

Dear Seawolf,

I ran the commands (I had to use sudo before the first one as well) and the whole process completed with no errors listed.

Of course I won't know if it worked or not until there...
