I had never switched to that directory, so it shouldn't have been remembered by the terminal. I also checked out my ~/.profile, and no /usr/share/peppermint-settings-panel in there. Since I don't...
It was just the one time/session, so probably not something to be too concerned about. I probably do worry a little too much :) but in any event, I truly appreciate your help. Thank you very much....
I edited the output (only slight difference) in post #3 without the space

I have a weird issue that's probably not a big deal, but I'm hoping someone can me let know if anything is wrong.
I opened a terminal a little while back, using CTRL+ALT+T, and it opened up...
My choice is Xfce because it's light on resources (my current desktop is rather old), it's very stable, and I like the Whisker menu--useful and looks nice.
Mate is excellent as well. It uses a...
Update: It appears it was just a permission problem... I'm not sure how to change the permissions properly, so I ended up running gksudo k3b (because there were a couple of things I wanted to get...
K3b burning problems--cdrecord has no permission to open the device
I was trying to burn an .iso with K3b a little while ago, and had some problems.
First of all, even though I chose 8x to burn my (16x) DVD, it switched to 11x or 12x around halfway through the...
Just a quick update:
On a whim, I once again burned the two data DVDs that wouldn't mount the first time.
This time, I used UDF, rather than the "windows+linux" filesystem option in K3b.

I've been backing up some data recently because I'm planning to upgrade to 10.04.
It had been going well until today. I burned a couple DVDs, tested them, and they were fine.
I burned another...
Earlier this evening, there were a couple of odd things going on:
1) Youtube videos would play, but with no sound
2) Movie Player files (mp3, etc.) would open, but then stay stuck at 0:00.

Actually, I've checked the BIOS already. The settings were OK, and I haven't made any changes to them. Settings were the same whether I was able to boot or not.
Thank you, though, good...
I haven't used the dmesg command, but when using a live CD (both Ubuntu and Puppy), every time I've been able to mount the hard drive and access the files. (So far, anyway).
Based on that, I...
Well, I've been busy for the last couple of days, and haven't had a chance to use my computer until a couple of minutes ago... and this time, it booted up fine.
Anyone have any idea what is...
When I use the live CD, I can mount the HD and access files. I'm not totally sure--I'm far from a hardware expert, but that would seem to suggest that the HD cable is fine, and that the power supply...
HD cable looks OK, but I'll double check anyway.
How would I check the motherboard hard drive controller?
Thank you for your reply.
For some reason, Ubuntu won't boot now. Everything was running fine, and then I started up the computer yesterday, and got the following:
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

I was converting some .avi files with devede to make a DVD, and finally after about five hours or so, it was in the process of making an ISO.
It appeared to finally be finished, as the program was...
The message was:

I did put in the live CD when prompted and started up (which is when I started this thread, then shut...
A while ago, I was browsing with Firefox (3.0.3, Ubuntu 8.10)
One of the tabs started to load really slowly and I tried to close it... then the computer completely froze.

34. I use it for everything now: browsing, digital photos, word processing, syncing the mp3 player. Also for learning as much as I can about Linux in general. As I've never been a PC gamer, I have...
Abiword is a great alternative.
One problem, though, is when I have desktop effects enabled, the text is invisible... (anyone know how to change that?)
