Live CD. =)

As best as I can tell, my computer has uninstalled the Gnome desktop (without my say-so, mind you) and this is causing me problems. I tried re-installing it in Synaptic, but it gives me an error...

Ah, I've got it now.

It turns out I was looking in "Filters" rather than "Tools," so that was my mistake. Thank you very much for the info, though. I'm sure the other things you said will come in...

Thanks for replying. I did this, but nothing seems to have changed. I realized I forgot a detail from earlier - I managed to add a file with the same name and copied the "code" part of the downloaded...

I want to install some of the optional plugins for GIMP Image Editor. I've gotten as far as downloading the .scm files, but Kubuntu won't let me copy them to the necessary folders, which every...

My Sony VAIO is experiencing backlight problems with Kubuntu Lucid. I tried to adjust the brightness with the slider to make it a little dimmer, but when I hit "apply," the backlight shut off. I can...

Hi, everyone...

Right now I'm working on my Sony VAIO's graphics situation. Remembering all the trouble I had trying to install and configure the proprietary/recommended graphics driver the first...

Do you mean reinstall the entire OS, or just go into Synaptic and mark KDE for re-installation? Or, 'other'?

So HTop is kind of like a Linux equivalent of Task-Manager in Windows?

I've looked at the logs before (or tried) and they seem very difficult to understand/interpret. I recognize patterns like...

Hi,

I'm running Kubuntu 10.04.2 and my system keeps freezing. This seems to only happen when I'm using Firefox. I'm not sure if it's because of the number of tabs, but although I'm used to running...

Thanks for your response.

I'm assuming you're talking about the sub-folders of Root/var/log/. If that's correct, then what sub-folder would have information about memory or hard-drive errors?...

Hi,

I've been noticing lately that clicking a lot of the icons I've put on my desktop for installed programs seems to yield an error message saying the program doesn't exist. Looking into Ubuntu...

If this is the case, then excellent. I'm not dual-booting with this computer, either, so that's not among my concerns. Thanks for your input. =)

So I recently learned about this thing Sony has done with a lot of their tech, "MagicGate," which encrypts media on a device and enforces preset rules as to how it can be copied. As someone who...

I haven't installed that, but your mentioning it gave me the idea to check something I hadn't thought of earlier. One of my add-ons is using opt-out cookies, so I had just gotten mixed up. That was...

Hi, everyone...

So as always, my Firefox is set to accept cookies from sites, NOT accept third-party cookies, and delete the contents of the cookie jar on Firefox exit. However, there is a list of...

"Also, just notice that this thread is dated 2006" o.O Really? Weird...

But yeah, if you have NetFlix it's available to stream there. It's very uplifting and inspirational. =)

*Edit - I think I...

Ah I see. That makes sense. It's more like the movie ended with a "one small battle lost" scenario. Also, what you say there definitely broadens my thinking on the application of Linux. At first it...

Hi all,

I just saw the documentary "Revolution OS!" about Linux and it left me with a question. The closing moments included something that said,

"On June 27th 2001, VA Linux announced it was...

Duly noted, thanks. =)

@otetiani & magic8ball - Actually, I've never cleaned it (or thought of cleaning it for that matter) I'll give the compressed air idea a shot.

@collisionsystem - I did mention that I've done what...

Yeah, I'm done trying. I'm using Exaile instead. Works great, especially alongside the PulseAudio Multiband Equalizer. =)

Hi, everyone...

I have an old laptop from about four years ago. It's a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a dual-core processor, 4GB RAM (yes, I'm sure it's four) which is running Windows XP. As of the past...

Hi there,

I'm really not interested in your opinion. That doesn't help me at all. I installed it because none of the Ubuntu/Kubuntu media players I've ever seen give me the features I remember...

Hi,

I've just installed the RealPlayer 11/Linux Ubuntu version from the Ubuntu Software Center, and am trying to play back audio files. However, for some reason trying to open any file (Vorbis,...
