Is there a way to make an Ubuntu Desktop machine play my music library while controlled from a device like an iPad or a PC?

Basically I want a nice user interface for music playing. The (old,...

This issue may make me give up on using Ubuntu in my home network. It is getting too frustrating to synch media files.

I hope the Ubuntu community finds a way to make this more inituitive - the...

Positively sure - it is still there.

OK, so after yet another kernel and samba update in 12.04 now my ability to share between Ubuntu and Windows is broken again, for no apparent reason. I go into Samba and it tells me the server is in...

I have 12.04 on a standard Intel cpu-mobo. It isnalled easily and runs well.

But with 12.04, I have now *twice* seen that a regular software update "unmounts" the external USB NTFS drive. It is a...

Why not simply right click on the network icon up top, and edit the connections you need? (oops just saw the discussion turned into Ubuntu Server)

I am not shy to sudo away when it's needed, but...

I am not sure when it started, but I have been using SSDs since 10.04, and even then gparted and ext4 (in regular install) resulted in optimized alignment.

Now 12.04 (probably somewhere in the...

I think in reading the diverging recommendations it is obvious that there is no universal agreeement that going beyond the noatime thing is worth it. If you do the temporary files, you may have to...

i think a good guide is
http://www.howtogeek.com/62761/how-to-tweak-your-ssd-in-ubuntu-for-better-performance/

in general, i don't think one needs to worry too much about writing to SSD these...

Thanks - I got it to the point where it boots into a nicely working former configuration. However, it seems that the update function now no longer works, and never sees a new update...? I guess...

So I did something stupid that damaged my latest install, but of course I was able to reboot and get everything working with a previous version that was still on the system. Good. So how do I make it...

...another consideration is what hardware you are running. If you run one of the latest Intel CPUs and want to use their integrated graphics (I run an i2100t which is both fast and very low power)...

I still think installing Samba is the way to go. It allowed my 11.04 computer to be integral part of a Windows Workgroup and I happily copy files back and forth.

have you carefully touched different locations on your build to see which part gets that hot? can you provide mobo model and graphics card (if included)?

in my experience (brother hl-4040cn) ubuntu 11.04 dpoes a great jobn of discovering network printers, but you have to give it a few minutes to settle. then go with what it discovers and suggests - i...

> Does it handle 1080p video ok on the integrated video?

definitely does handle HD video in every format i have encountered (and i have uploaded a 720 to facebook). video playback is not a...

Indeed I forgot how I got there - but I know you can also get there from the "left app bar" in 11.04 if you go to ~system or ~apps-system, click on "show all" and the same "login screen" control will...

This is what worked for me (just installed 11.04 and didn't like the new look)...

Simple as
System->Administration->Login Screen->Select Ubuntu Classic as default session (The Login Screen...

For what it's worth. I shall document a few things...

On this type of hardware (Intel mobo DH61 and i3 2100t processor) do yourself a favor and get 11.04. I did switch to Ubuntu Classic (via the...

Guess I could live with the so-so graphics until better support for the Sandy Bridge stuff on this cool little MiniITX Intel DH61 board arrives.

However, I am surprised the Ethernet controller...

Well, this configuration doesn't work with 10.04LTS.

(1) The integrated graphics don't work well - I can not enable any desktop effects despite having done the recommended xorg update...

I need some advice - I am replacing my current D510 Atom based system with what I hope to be a much higher performance, low power and quiet system based on
- Intel DH61 mobo
- Intel i3-2100T (I...

thanks!

i have run 10.04 for a while. after an update. there are no more app tabs showing in the bottom panel... anyone know how to get them back? can't do it from any menu....

Awesome!
