Thanks for the advice, Derek. I will try running a cleaning disc through, and hope that it does the trick. I wish that I thought of that sooner. I've. never done a cleaning on the drive in the 4...
I have a Dell XPS M1330 with a DVD/CD combo drive. I can't seem to get the system to recognize that I have media in the drive, basically the drive doesn't mount. When I try to mount through the...

Right-click on the top panel and select Add to Panel from the menu. That will open a list of items that you can place on the panel. I believe the item you want to restore is the Indicator Applet...

You can download Adobe Reader through the Ubuntu Software Center (located on your main menu). That's probably the best way to install it, as the Software Center does it all for you.
I think I can handle your first two questions, as I've done a little bit of scripting with Bash.
1. As far as I remember, once you've set up the file as an executable, it stays that way, even if...
Thanks :) That seems to have done the trick.
The psychocats site worked. I don't know how I overlooked that one before. I can now sudo as needed. Thanks for getting me straightened out on that. Next time, I'll count to 10 before I tackle...

Installed Lubuntu & LXDE, Now Hangs Up At Shutdown

Thanks for the quick replies yuki and Rubi. Unfortunately, the blank password on su didn't do it, so I don't recall if I assigned a root password and have merely forgot it now. Even when I log into...
Lost Sudo Privileges, Please Help!
I attempted to use a sudo command on the terminal, and received an error message "/etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440." I looked up the problem on this forum, and the suggested solution was to...

From what I've read so far, the themes available by default in Ubuntu are not helping you. Have you tried looking for darker themes at Gnome-look.org? When you open the Appearance settings (System...
