All you need is to use the scp command from your Mac (no need to SSH first)

To get files from the Ubuntu to the Mac

scp user@server:file1 user@macintosh:somedir

To get files from the Mac to...

You should be able to go to System>Preferences>Preferred Applications. There is a Multimedia tab where you can select your default player (mine is set to Rhythmbox ;) )

I don't want to get into a iPod tangent (probably left best to another thread) but does gtkpod work with touch? i thought not... but then again I dont have a touch (I use rythmbox to sync music with...

Well theoretically you only need iTunes installed then and you're music library can still be on your ubuntu partition (i do this too with my ipod) but you'll need drivers in windows to read your...

You didn't say anything wrong ;)

The facts are that it is most definitely easier to install Ubuntu after windows, but I think his concern is losing his current data on the windows drive... if...

You mean in the GRUB menu? as in the list of operating systems you can boot to?

if so follow this guideand use the super GRUB disk to recover your windows boot.

AnasZ: What have you tried?

Also you'll need this guide later for sure!

Seriously, we do! :)

No I didn't :)

Do you have Desktop effect on too? Not to say that this is much better but have tried Gnash to see if it is the non-free plugin?

Holy $#@! This worked! I been STRUGGLING with this for a bit... this is a GOOD *temporary* fix.

*clicks the thanks icon*

Should be another thread for this but im just gonna drop some names...

SSH! + NX CLIENT! (www.nomachine.com) = REMOTING GOODNESS!

Also you should mark this thread as [Solved]

Yeah I have a built in card reader and I must say that it really makes things simple. After that, you just buy whatever camera you feel like!

Sorry for the late reply... Did you ever get this working? I have a friend with the same problem and I was about to suggest ndiswrapper too but this may be "extreme" nowadays...

Just curious to...

I'm glad it was fixed! I'm surprised that ubuntu didn't read the restricted drivers off the bat.

You should mark this thread solved in the thread tools by the way.

What happens when you try to edit the resolution under preferences>screen resolution? Can you choose another?

You may want to run


sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

and run through...

what happens when you go to system>administration>network and try to access the wireless that way?

what kind of television do you have?

Does it have an autofix setting (I have to do this with my monitor EVERY time a new computer gets hooked up to it, but then it works)

I honestly think there's not a huge issue in looking for a digital camera that would be compatible. Just about every camera has a USB cord these days that you can hook up to the computer. Ubuntu...

Yeah I have an ATI 256MB, if I want flash to behave full screen (and I'm a big YouTube fan) I have to turn off the compiz settings. :(

Dems da berries pretty much :frown:

Yeah just like lostlinuxkiwi said -- installing the compiz settings manager creates a new menu item in system>preferences>advanced desktop effects settings. You'll LOVE it! It's by far the best way...

it's always better to use add/remove or synaptic because you will always have your software up-to-date. I hardly ever resort to compiling it unless there's an update that I desperately want or if...

or as suggested before there's also mplayer.


sudo apt-get install mplayer

Heh Funny enough, the Hard Drive WAS failing - I guess Ubuntu knew something Windows didn't, a new hard drive (with a bit of coaxing) worked.

Also, I used the Ubuntu Alt Install.
