After getting back from my first trip abroad, I decided I was going to consolidate and organize the numerous photos I've taken both over the years and on the trip in one place, on one computer (which...
I'm going to answer my own question here. Apparently, the Indicator Applet has been ported to Gnome 3 by Jason Conti; this basically allows one to have the exact same indicators and menus as in...
Thanks!
Believe it or not, there are entire articles written about reinstalling GRUB; it's such a common issue. Granted, most of the time people are installing Windows from scratch after installing Ubuntu...
I'm getting the same problems as you; it appears that it happens sporadically when resizing windows.
To boot, Gnome Shell crashes frequently as well.
I reinstalled Gnome 3 (sudo apt-get remove...
I just upgraded to 11.10 from 10.10 a few days ago, and I'm still trying to get my computer set up the way I like it. I ditched Unity almost immediately; I need the window list at the bottom of the...
I've never been able to stand desktop-based email clients... The whole "send/receive" dialog box only irritated me. Gmail is the way to go.
Framli,
Thanks so much! It worked wonderfully! I feel kinda foolish now, though; I'd just started reading about Imagemagick the other day.
Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong subforum, but I have a bunch of images (100+) that I'd like to assemble into a PDF file, and I don't know a good way to do it. Unfortunately, Simple...
If you install Adobe Reader through the package manager (Software Center/Synaptic/apt-get), you get automatic updates from within Ubuntu. If you are concerned that Reader might have security flaws (I...
If you don't need anything suited for intensive use (like keeping track of a single project), you could make a Google Docs file. You get simultaneous editing plus access from anywhere.
I'm trying to use Likewise-Open to join a computer to an Active Directory domain, preferably using the command-line utility domainjoin-cli. Problem is, the organizational unit I'm trying to put it...
Well, today I tried pinging the linux computer from a Windows PC and was able to get through (Yesterday I was pinging from a linux machine). I honestly don't know if it's Samba or Likewise-Open doing...
No to the first two, and doesn't the third happen automatically when you install Samba?
I'll try this tomorrow. Thanks!
Oh, and editing the /etc/hosts file manually is obviously out of the question, since it seems impractical to push out host definitions to every Windows machine on the network. I don't even have...

Close, but unless I'm mistaken that's the reverse of what I'm trying to do.
I'm not trying to ping Windows computers from the linux machine (I was able to do this from a vanilla...
For most of my testing, samba wasn't installed. Is it necessary?
Logs can be read from System > Administration > Log File Viewer
I'm setting up an Ubuntu-based kiosk for my organization, and I can't seem to ping it by its hostname. The network is an Active Directory domain.
I tried editing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf (I filled...
Random crashing; how do I investigate this?
So, a couple weeks ago I finally got around to upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 via complete reinstall. (I have a separate /home partition from the rest of the filesystem, so I just used the same user...
I like Chrom[ium]'s speed (I'm currently developing a graphics-instensive, SVG-based game), but I'd hate to give up Firefox's privacy -- adblock and noscript are musts for me! I keep both on my...
Sorry for the annoyance, but how are we supposed to log a PaperCut? The community wiki page wasn't a lot of help.
I have two:
Many iTunes users are used to pausing their music with the...
Never mind. There's a PPA with prebuilt packages:

Re: How to Install Dolphin
I have no idea.
When I downloaded Dolphin from the website, it came packaged as a .tar.bz file. I tried extracting it to a folder (I chose /opt, the same folder Google Chrome puts itself). But...
Sorry, I was talking about the consoles you get to with Ctrl+Alt+F1 thru F6.
