I might not have been as clear or thorough as I should have been, sorry.

I did try dragging and dropping the panels, but that does not work with two top panels. You can choose top, but not WHERE...

Sheesh, I've been using Ubuntu since Hoary and I'm still an Absolute Beginner sometimes!

I want to move my taskbar (panel) to the very top of the screen, above the menu bar (panel). How do I do...

Whenever I start my guest OS (Windows XP) in VirtualBox, my mouse immediately stops working. My touchpad continues to work.

If I unplug the mouse and plug it back in, it works for a half second...

Well I wasn't exactly surprised to get mostly responses of "Well it works for me!" That's what makes it so frustrating to not experience the same rapturous joy of virtualization that you all have....

I tried. I really tried. I was so determined to make it work that when I installed Hardy, I totally wiped my drive clean and went single-boot. No fallback. It's VM or bust.

Bust.

I tried VMWare...

I'm stuck on step 1!


This doesn't do anything for me. I get:

tar: /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-6.0.4-93057.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting...

Arrgh, it's been 33 minutes!

Sorry, I don't know about recording video, but I'd recommend Audacity for producing an audio podcast. Check out the links on this thread.

I am getting ready to start a podcast as well, and will be using Audacity. Here is a good tutorial on how to podcast with Audacity. It's a few years old but is still perfectly valid and applicable.

Excellent. Appreciate your help.

I have heard that I need to use the non-free VirtualBox in order for USB to work. Is this true? And if so, will I have to reinstall Windows XP, or can I just open that VM within the new copy of...

*sigh*

Playing a media file (so far have tried .wmv, .avi and .mp3) causes my system to completely lock up, forces me to do a manual shutdown (holding down power button). The cursor still moves wherever I...

Thanks for your reply! Good to know I'm not alone. But like I linked in my original post, there are people out there for whom it works like a charm. Maybe it's the computer, and not the phone, that...

*squeak squeak*

Anyone???

I just got an N73, and it's my first bluetooth experience. So far, AARGH! I can't pair it with my Dell (D520), whether I initiate from the computer or phone. I've followed many of the tips here (I've...

No harm done. And now I know something else! (And with Linux, "knowing something else" is really the name of the game.)

Once again, thanks. Just rebooted and everything worked just fine. In fact, even better than fine. My mouse buttons got all messed up with too much tinkering (my middle scroll wheel was 'right click'...

Thank you, twright and tinivole. I've just deleted all the files and folders of which I don't care if I lose the configurations, and will try to log in again in a bit. If that doesn't work, maybe...

What's the rationale behind this?

(Not questioning you, just trying to learn a little something along the way.)

Hardy ran pretty much flawlessly for the first week. Now, some of the time I can't entirely boot up. After logging in, I get my desktop background and Twhirl (via Adobe Air). That's it. No...

I have just installed it and am loving life! Only really using it for Twhirl at this point. But it was awesome to go to Twhirl's site, see that it is only for Windows and Mac, and to be able to...

Well this did the trick. I think. I selected something other than ALSA, saw that it didn't work, then went back and selected ALSA again, and everything seemed to work just fine.

Good thing, I...

Yes, I found it: i8kutils. I have no idea how to run it but I'm googling...
