Thank you again TheFu.

Too loud - no, not sound, the strident bold oversized fonts. I realised it was for a big screen before an audience, but it comes across badly to a single pc screen. Maybe...

Thanks for that TheFu, especially that link about FakeRaid. I can see now that my intentions were unsuitable.

Given that the my new disk is SATA3 and the old one not, and the new board I will be...

HA? Does not compute for me. Sorry, I just don't recognise the terminology, can you elaborate please?



So, you are saying that if I use the RAID capability of my current motherboard, I can't...

Hi,

I have a system currently running Lubuntu 13.04 from a SATA HDD. I tend to change flavours often, and I suppose this question would apply to any *buntu flavour.

I have bought a similar...

Thanks, oldfred, vasa1 and Dennis N for helping me out with this. Yes, the command line works for me, although to copy symlinks for several random files from various places into my,...

This should be easy, and obvious. However, I can't seem to find a quick and easy way to create new symlinks in Lubuntu. PCManFM doesn't offer a symlink option in the right click thing, and I've...

Thanks ajgreeny,

There's nothing in there about this problem, but it did show where the lxsession log is kept, so I had a look in that. Still nothing about this problem, but an awful lot about...

Hi,
I'm running Lubuntu 13.04, a recent clean install. When I log out and then immediately back in again, there are only two entries in the menu: Run, and Logout. I have also had a report of a...

Thanks for this post, this solution also worked for me on Lubuntu 13.04 fresh install.

Many thanks for the link. I had looked in the repositories for MenuLibre, and not found it, so I had falsely assumed it would not be available in Lubuntu. However, I found the ppa to add and I can...

Hi everyone.

I am running a system with separate /home and /data partitions, and have had a few variations of *buntu on it over a few years. I have just moved to Lubuntu 13.04 for better speed on...

My bad. My wallpapers are all symlinks to files within my photos, many gigabytes worth. It seems this code doesn't work with symlinks. I've put in a test folder with real images, and it works fine...

OK, this is a bit wierd. I have newly installed Lubuntu 13.04, but with a separate pre-existing /home partition. When I use this wallpaper changer, all I get is a new PCManFM file window open at my...

I have had the same problem here. My machine (old home-brew tower desktop) has had very many versions of Linux on it now, with a separate /home partition. I had trouble some long time ago with the...

It can never be "greener" to junk the 8 year old bulky desktop and buy a new laptop. The embedded carbon footprint in making and transporting the new laptop to you would take more years of energy...

If you have anywhere to put it (DVDs?), take an image with Clonezilla before you make any changes, then you are insured against breaking anything.

I would expect that the "matt" screen was a very finely textured finish on the plastic, and that your eyeglass cleaner has either filled it in with something oily, or melted the surface and made it...

OK, it's been a while (5 days) and I may get some flames from this, BUT:

Have you considered an operating system perhaps a little more suited to your old hardware? I'd recommend Puppy Linux. I...

I'm surprised that no one has asked you yet. How well do you know Linux? What experience do you bring? Have you tried Unity before?

If you are a very new user, coming from Windows, then the...

I have Lubuntu, Peppermint, and Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix as alternative boots on my laptop. Yes, Lubuntu is perceptably faster than Ubuntu, but I can't seem to really feel comfortable with it. I find...

Me too, please?

I've just bought a Huawei E160 ready unlocked (ex O2) for use with Samba. It works well in WindowsXP but neither Lubuntu nor Peppermint Linux can make it work for me.

thanks...

Thanks MrKappa, that one had slipped by me. I'll give it a try when I've more time to think about it.

I'll be out of touch for a while as I learned a few hours ago that I have just become a...

Well, after quite a few days of trying various things, I have now settled on using the new Linux Mint 13 Maya with Cinnamon desktop, and using the Neuveau driver. I believe there are still issues...

@MrKappa,

Why don't you simply install Ubuntu 10.04 which is still a long term support edition (LTS)? The repositories are all still maintained, and there is support until April next year, by...

Hi, I'm willing to bet there are more than are keen to admit it. Your PC spec is not too different to mine, I'm on Asus A8V MB as well, and I've repeatedly tried to upgrade to 4GB of ram without...
