by Trackpad, do you mean the edge scrolling?
I finally got bored with the last setup I had been using for ..... ummm... at least a month, maybe two, I am a little fuzzy on that detail.
Anyways...
I plopped this down on my Gnome'd Arch:...
Wubi is an excellent suggestion, another option would be to use Vista's built in partitioning software to shrink it down before installing.
(just a hint: before clicking hte install button, it is...
Transfer to Arch has been completed, thanks to a strange accident on my Ubuntu install. (My fault... should have known better)
Bloody heck, Arch is fast! I had a ~40 sec start up with Ubuntu, and...
It's just a dock bar. That one looks like simdock, but it could be one of the others, like kiba, cairo, or AWN.
Edit: Ohh! My bad, I wasn't looking hard enough. I see what your talking about...
I may be a little late, but I have to completely redo my looks. Here is one however, that I made for my gal, Ann.
Gtk2: greenome-0.3 from Gnome-look.

Boarders:...
Edit: After looking around for a few moments (I was looking while typing the last entry, I just posted before coming to a decision) I chose to back up the important stuff on my USB hard drive. I am...
Ok... I fixed the initial problem. I discovered that for some reason the BIOS had module bays turned off. For the life of me I cannot remember doing that. I discovered, much to my horror, that when...
Alright, just back from my windows' partition. Not recognized at all. I noticed on one of the google searches I did that someone was having a similar problem and it turned out to be grub's fault.

It's a 8 month old Dell Inspiron 1520.
To tell ya the truth the last I used it was to try out OpenSuse's LiveCD about 3-4 days ago.
I can still get it to work on boot up. I can load a LiveCD...
Bump.
I am still lost.
I have not been able to find out how to re-create /dev/scd0 so it points towards the cd player and /media/cdrom0
I really hope this is the right spot to put this...
I just rebooted it after installing sensors, and I noticed an extra mount point on my panel's mount applet. I ignored it for a little while I confirmed that sensors did something. (It just gave me my...
Definite agreement. While it is anti-Microsoft, and only luke-warm Linux, (although he did call Linux a "Powerful OS") If Adobe actually embraced Linux and build a graphics oriented OS with all of...
Clam AV is available in the repos. It even has a GUI front end available in the repos.
The major point though, is that Linux is nearly free of viruses that plague Windows. The few viruses that do...
I can tell ya that Guild War works great, although it is slightly slower in the FPS department versus my XP install.
A fun native one is On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. The humor in that...
The applet makes a call to something in ActiveX in IE. It does something slightly funky to java in other systems apparently. I wonder if this would happen on a Mac.
The work around:

Thank ya! I manged to delete the offensive trash, from both user and root.
I am still getting that error when I try to open root trash, though.
Strange.
This would be a nice addition to Ubuntu's repertoire. I hope the Dev's listen!
This should be a sticky at the top of the Absolute Beginner's section! Maybe with a title like:
It's a great point, but the repeatedly answering questions is one thing that separates the Ubuntu...
If I had not read the story, which read like an AP article complete with names and places, I would have thought this to be GIMP'ed. That was actually my gal's first comment, "That looks photoshopped"...
Have you added repositories or .deb's from anywhere other than the official Ubuntu repos? If so, you may have a rootkit. (Rare, but possible. Viruses that actually effect Linux are even rarer.)

Alright.... This seems sorta silly to me, but I managed to put a folder in my user Trash that had a root owned folder in it. Now trash will not delete it and I cannot get it back out of trash to be...
I read through that thread, and thank ya but it isn't exactly the same type of bug... I do not lose all of my window decorations, just the one around FF3. Everything else pops up normal. If it...
