I've only used it in a virtualbox, but I've yet to get any Windows application to work on it, even ones that work fine in wine. YMMV.

You know, you can use UbuntuOne on other distros, Arch included.

So I maintain a webpage for my friend's philosophical band, and I also do the podcast, which is registered through iTunes.

My friend sends me the MP3 of the new song. First, I make sure the ID3v2...

This is probably coming too late to help you, but I managed to get Job Accounting working with our new Xerox WorkCentre 5645 today with my workstation running Lucid. Took all day to figure out.

For those following this thread, it's worth noting that if you install TeXlive (2009) and Okular and Kile from the Lucid repos, you not only get inline spellchecking in Kile, but SyncTeX...

Anyway, this is the joy and curse of...

Thanks for the input everyone.

Since I was upgrading to Lucid anyway, I thought I'd try again with a relatively fresh install. I decided to go with the Lubuntu 10.04 RC for a very lightweight and...

Installation of new fonts for use with regular LaTeX or pdfLaTeX is a real pain. I'd suggest trying XeLaTeX with the fontspec package--this will allow you to use any OpenType or TrueType font...

Thanks for the suggestions. I used to use Kile and Okular awhile back, but (1) it bothered me having to install half of KDE to use it, (2) Kile seemed far less lightweight compared to the other text...

Or follow the advice above. You can use nautilus-actions to launch a bash script.

I think the problem is that Netflix uses Microsoft's Silverlight for DRM protection, which is a Microsoft product, and Microsoft isn't allowing it to be used with Linux, and darnitall if Netflix...

Well, after spending over half the day today working on this, and staying an hour late to work, I finally got it to work. I actually (literally) jumped in joy when it worked. Anyway, I thought I'd...

Complete newbie ignoramus here. Installed Ubuntu 9.04 yesterday and so far I love it, but haven't decided on it for sure (still dual-booting).

One big problem so far, which will be a deal-breaker...
