I am back after a 4-year break. I asked Dell for a pc preloaded with Ubuntu, because I couldn't load it myself, so they sent me one. I'm an old woman, and I like Ubuntu because it is quiet and...

Thank you for your helps. I intend to go to our next LUG meeting for more assistance.

I'm just a little old lady who has been using Ubuntu for several years. Now I cannot install it on my new laptop. I have looked at the help pages on
'Installing Ubuntu Quickly and Easily via Trial...

I think I ought to point out that this newspaper article is satire. :wink:

Any more ideas for hopeless names for children?

It was outside my eye, but somehow managed to get under the conjunctiva. I went to two different eye hospitals, but they couldn't get it out. The doctors told me I had to just wait and let it die,...

I learned touch typing at school, have used it ever since. Mavis Beacon's program is good for refreshing skills. :KS

Very interesting. I had one of these things in my eye. So annoying and irritating. It eventually died and disintegrated.

I have a T60 with Ubuntu for every day work, and an X40 with Windows XP connected to my electronic knitting machine. Happy with both. :KS

I want a brony of my own! PLEASE

Thank you, Charles, done. :KS

So where is the link to donate? I can't find it.

I went to Hampshire LUG today, and a nice young man called Chris sorted out this problem for me. There is incompatibility between the IBM Lenovo, Windows and Linux. When Windows sound is muted,...

Thanks Raja. This is way over my head. I will go to my local LUG next month and see if I can get some help there.

I have an IBM T60 laptop, and am using Ubuntu 12.04. Until recently I had normal sound, but now no sound. I don't know why.
My puter also has Windows XP professional, and the sound is working...

Fixed it! I clicked on the empty black toolbar, and a message came up 'exit full screen'. So I did.:KS

Thanks for your reply. I'm using Firefox.The Caps key is off. Still on full screen. :(

I feel such an idiot! Can someone help me please. Pressing Esc does not work, none of the F keys work, even cont-alt-del doesn't restore my normal screen.

It worked. :KS for you, sweetie.

Thank you cottfcfan! Will try this. :)

In previous releases of Ubuntu, I used to get an automatic disc check running every 30 times I logged into Ubuntu. This isn't happening now. Can anyone tell me why, please.

I'm an elderly user, too. I'm unhappy with 12.04, but slowly getting used to it. I wish there was a very long term LTS.

There isn't an option on the poll for 'a little bit'. :(

Maybe it was a neologism....
