I don't like it.

At all.

I also don't care if that's regarded by some as an overreaction.

Form what i have read, thus far, this will run Ubuntu Linux inside MS Windows. It wont be a virtual...

Okay, found a fix. Don't know why it is a fix, but it is:
I have relocated my vm printdocs shared folder on to my sdb1 drive. Now, if I try and copy a file form anywhere in my sdb drive to this...

Hello.

I am currently running Ubuntu 15. Previously Ubuntu 14. I have a Canon LBP laser printer that has always been a bit flaky to run on Linux. but I have always managed to get it to run up to...

update:

I now realise you don't even need to install gnome panel. Simply change:

gnome-desktop-item-edit ./ --create-new

to

mate-desktop-item-edit ./ --create-new

I just installed Musescore in Ubuntu Mate and found that it would not play any sound. Nor would any other sound application play any sound while Musescore was running. After a bit of digging around,...

That's a bit of an odd review in that the the author makes mention of the fact that certain applications on his netbook run laggy in Mate but then goes on to infer this is due to Mate and not the...

Actually, scratch my claim to have got LTSP working on Ubuntu Mate, at least for the moment. I had initially installed it and got the sever up and running with no errors. However, I made the...

Would it be possible for you to install Caja alongside your existing file manager and compare them? Having said that, if you are not particularly bothered about the small improvements it might offer,...

Pluma has no advantages over Gedit, from what I can see. However, I should say, in Ubuntu Mate I installed Gedit to compare to Pluma. In Mate, Gedit runs slower. Not sure why. But, since they are...

LTSP stand for Linux Terminal Server Project. It is a system whereby you can use one machine as a server and then connect, via ethernet (or, in my case, via powerline adapters) to a number of thin...

You know what, I wasn't going to post on this thread again, But I am not standing for the mis-characterisation of being labelled a "hater" which, by implication, you are insinuating by making these...

Part 2

This second part deals with automating the re-setting of the printer every time you re-boot your computer into Ubuntu Mate (incidentally, I think switching your printer off and on during...

The following is a tutorial on how to install the Canon LBP2900i printer in Ubuntu Mate 32 bit (for completeness, I should say, I am using an old Pentium D).

I have split the tutorial into two...

As you may already know, if you are on the desktop in Ubuntu Mate, you can right click and one of the menu options is to create a launcher. This option, however, is not available when you are...

This solution assumes all relevant drives are fully mounted, you have installed Samba and have assigned the relevant folders to Samb.

A niggling problem for me, with Mate, is that when I logged in...

Ubuntu Mate has menus that behave themselves and are easily editable/configurable. Ubuntu Mate has a network that works. Ubuntu Mate works with LTSP. Ubuntu Mate has a screensaver that works...

More than happy to pop over and make a comment.

However, I am also bound to make a final comment here that the overwhelming impression I get is one that basically takes the form of the only...

On the touch devices I own, if Unity was an option I would certainly install it on them and, fom the sounds of it, Unity Mir is absolutely going to be a killer OS for tablets. I don't have problem...

That poll is completely meaningless since it was conducted online of Ubuntu users only. So, hardly a suprising result. A far more valid poll would be of the entire linux user population to see who is...

I do believe you've hit on the central issue; Unity and Windows 8 were both devised as touch oriented OS's. Though Windows 8 even more so. Unity, at least, did have some vestiage of useability for...

I'd have been quite happy to spell out the problems with Unity, as I see them, along with many others who see the same. However, in the first instance, that was not. believe it or not. my primary...

The fact is, I came on this board today to sing the praises of Ubuntu Mate as being a return to form and being the reason why I have just returned to Ubuntu from Mint. However, as ever, as soon as...

I'm not demanding anything, I am giving feedback on a desktop environment that I consider to suck hard, along with a huge number of others who feel the same. Would you rather have it that users did...

I know it's a fork of Gnome 2. It shows.

With regards to suckiness. I do think that some roughly objective things can be said about that.

You may often hear, as I do, MS Windows users...
