Thank you, TenPlus1! That did it! :) And thank you jerrrys, I'll have to use the search option too next time!

Hello! I'm kind of stuck here. See, I wanted to move individual script files into the GIMP scripts folder. At first, I wasn't able to, it was giving me an access denied type of thing. I surfed around...

Doing that now! Thanks! :)

Thanks for your reply! I do have a couple of questions/thoughts though...

1. I thought that any -buntu distro would be able to run on older computers without too many problems. Particularly...

Thank you very much!

Bump!

I'm wondering if this graphics card would run any type of -buntu okay. I know NVIDIA is pretty well supported, but any information on this particular one?

ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics

I'm thinking...

Anybody? ^_^;; Or is this computer just really more or less unsalvagable unless one installs a new graphics card? :|

Thank you!

No worries, I won't. :P Hmm. I downloaded the tar file, uncompressed it, and I ran this:

tar -xzvf /home/username/Downloads/xf86-video-intel-1.9.94.tar.gz

It gave me all this:
...

Thank you for the link. :) I don't have a clue as to which Intel file to download though. And yeah, to install it would be also another issue. :confused:

Nope, they weren't flash videos, they were .avi files. Also, I did run the code you gave me, and it showed that everything was already installed.

I tried going through all the steps here:...

*is back again* :P Well, I tried Xubuntu, and unfortunately the windows still sort of lagged in resizing, though moving them around there was no lag. However, when I played a music file, Banshee...

Hey HeroOfCanton, thanks for replying to me! :) I'll try them both out to see how they run on here. XFCE would be Xubuntu right? :)

Hello! Decided to come back to Ubuntu yet again, can't seem to pull away from it for long. Agh. :P But anyway...

I decided to install it on my old computer which ran XP, it's got -possibly- close...

Thanks for the input! :)

Thank you for your reply! I did contemplate trying the earlier version of Xubuntu, but my sibling wanted Ubuntu back, so here I am. :P However, I'll be keeping what you said in mind about using LTS...

Okay, so I switched to Xubuntu last night. Everything was going well. Until I clicked on the HP icon on the top bar (HP = the printer settings). Now the top of ALL Xubuntu's windows are cut off, and...

Anybody? ^_^; Thanks!!

Thanks! That's what I needed to know. :)

Bump.

I'm having some issues with Ubuntu at the moment, so I wanted to know, is there a website or a thread that shows the pros and cons of these operating systems?

Also, does Kubuntu or Xubuntu or...

I had tried it, now both of my screens have warped colors and a cut-up logo. :P Any way to reset? I dunno if I want to reinstall Ubuntu just for the screens, but it does give it that good working...

Screen resolution settings, and the Ubuntu splash screen settings. :)

I had found one earlier today on this forum, but didn't bookmark it unfortunately. :( Can anyone provide me with it! Thank you!!

I ran the first one for 11.04, and instead of a purple screen, I got a deformed startup screen, like the word Ubuntu was cut in half and was on opposite sides of the screen, in distorted color.

I...
