Somewhere next year I wish to build myself a new PC. Though I am not sure if there are hardware quirks that will seriously ruin the fun.

Currently I am using an older PC mainly used for gaming and...

I have the same mobo in use, just press "del" like said before. You can set the boot order in the second menu from the left IIRC.

Installed Kubuntu 13.04 on it BTW after trying Xubuntu, Lubuntu &...

That could be caused by the system monitor application itself. If the window is large and thus the graphs, it starts to eat CPU cycles.

Using the newest Google Chrome with built-in flash will not work. It also needs SSE2.

What does it mean you can not replace the *.so file with an older version? If it is a permission problem use...

I have an older similarish PC. AMD 2500+ (1.8GHz) + 1 GB ram and a Radeon 9800 pro 128MB.

I tried a lot of desktops. Unity,Gnome 3 & Cinnamon (Linux Mint) will bring it to a halt. It is not snappy...

Is your processor SSE2 capable?

Check via the command

cat /proc/cpu
in the terminal. If you see SSE2 is supported by your CPU, then disregard the rest.

Otherwise, you may need to install a...

I can recommend FSlint and Beyond Compare (30 day no restrictions trial) within Wine.

FSlint checks duplicate content and duplicate filenames amongst others. Beyond Compare is good for checking...

Just checked the install log and you are right, it is installed by default but it got deleted from my machine. I suspect it was during the installation of Gparted and selecting the Add-on ntfsprogs...

The ntfsprogs version is still the old not merged one and if you look in the Software Center, Launchpad or via apt-get you will see it has no proper write support, only ntfs-3g has whatever version...

The package ntfs-3g was not installed by default on my machine, only ntfsprogs. The package ntfs-3g is needed to actually write to NTFS partitions AFAIK, ntfsprogs can only read.

Normalizing can be done with mp3gain, converting with Soundconverter. For compression I wouldn't know, but search for LADSPA in the Software Center, though this seems like overkill for such a simple...

Also had a problem with digital output (SP/DIF), no sound...The solution was to unmute. Not from the GUI but from the terminal with


alsamixer

Hope it helps, you may need to play with the...

Amiga 2000 absolutely. No bloated GUI, options, choices, security headaches, whatever. Just put in the diskette and go. A virus? On/Off switch > Fixed.

For me it did, I had a course called Critical Thinking. It was perhaps the hardest, but the most rewarding from which I learned a lot in daily life. If you ever are in a conversation with someone or...

Ideally within the interface itself, highlighting the first button click, an abstract animation of how to use the mouse. A full screen to test it out on (with feedback on buttons pressed and...

How about a help guide (visually/demo/interactive) to learn computer & technology use in general and Ubuntu for normal human beings without falling into the fallacies of abrreviations/pre-supposed...

Maybe you should install the Xorg-edgers PPA, and if there is a PPA for intel drivers then that one too. Perhaps there is a fix in there somewhere.

And as I said, the Xorg configuration has...

If all functions well under the hood of your Ubuntu installation then they are used automatically when you remove the restricted drivers. I recommend to just use the restricted drivers in your case...

X11 now autoconifgures itself and the Xorg.conf file is no longer used. This is done by "X -configure" at the terminal. But i'm not completely sure how it all works. It does seem to use some fallback...

If your problem is laggy/unsmooth window movement with the catalyst drivers then install the compiz config settings manager. From there go to the OpenGL settings and disable Sync to Vblank.

I had a similar problem and there is no solution with open source drivers. Only installing via the alternate installer, then going to recovery mode and installing the fglrx drivers after adding the...

Look here at the site of Wammu for your phone and its support.

From personal experience with a 5800 Xpress Music I can tell that you probably wont have much success. The only thing that I found...

Still not getting really far but I am able to log in semi-normal under my own username.

I had to
apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati and use
nomodeset as bootparameter. Doing only...

lavinog, I marked that I'm also affected by the bug. But I don't think my info would add something since this system is a bit "tainted" at the moment. Still could you please tell me how you collect...

I have the same problem with 11.04 installed via the alternate installer, I can see the login screen for 1 sec or so and then it reboots. Normal liveCD of the desktop does the same, it reboots and in...
