Weird stuff. I'm using Xubuntu with Abiword and I'm having problems with .docx files.
Abiword isn't the default program for .docx; if I double click, it opens with file roller.
I have to select...
Oh, man. The Dapper Drake tree! That takes me back.
I went cold turkey many years ago, without knowing ANYTHING about Linux. I loved it from the start, never even thought of going back or having a dual-boot (whatever for?).
I don't see what the big deal was. You could easily turn it off, and the harmless bit of promotion is the least we can do as users of this fantastic, free OS.
I did a fresh Xubuntu install, with a separate /home directory that I kept, as always (since 6.10, I think). Everything went smoothly. It's been a while since I've had such a flawless installation,...
I'm also using Firefox with Parole and I can't see that video either.
I looked for missing gstreamer packages, but everything seems to be there...
EDIT: I typed this up in a bit of a hurry. I...
I just installed Lucid in an iBook G4 using your How-to. I can't thank you enough, especially for including the necessary packages.
The xorg was blurry using the parameters given here, but...
Sorry for the triple post, but pressing the edit button does nothing.
Here's the relevant part of lspci -v

I may have gotten ahead of myself.
The mixer again shows only OSS-Mixer and I again don't have sound.
What's worse is that I can't get alsamixer to open. Now I get the following message:

The reinstall did the trick. Thank you so much!
I'm at work right now, but I'll post the output from that the minute I'm back home.
Thanks.
I'm having problems getting xfce4-mixer to work.
I have a VIA AC 97 (rev20) audio card, and it has worked fine under ALSA.
The problem is that now the Xfce4-mixer gives me as the only option...
Here's something else:
Warning: unable to find a suitable fs in /proc/mounts, is it mounted?
Use --subdomainsfs to override.
OK, if I can get past the boot-up, I'll try that.
No. Can't. I tried with an older kernel, and made to X, but it broke down right away.
Hi guys. I just updated from 9.04 to 9.10 (it's a long story, and I still can't go beyond 2.30).
The update got rid of WICD, which is what I used and installed network-manager. Network-manager was...
It's just a metapackage. It isn't a program in itself but only serves to install a number of softwares with just one package.
So for example you have xubuntu-desktop, which is just a list of...
Sure.
Look into this thread. I wondered the same thing and found an answer.
Hope this helps.
Hi.
I'm trying to connect two laptops via a router and wi-fi. One is a Dell with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, and the other is a Vaio with Xubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.
Since these are both Linux...
Hi. I have a laptop that I can't get to boot any kernel beyond 2.6.30. This means, of course, that I'm stuck with Jaunty.
I've tried booting with karmic and lucid, with all boot parameters that I...
I tried Arch Linux out of desperation, but it doesn't look too promising. I get a bunch of errors during the image bootup, and while I can get to the terminal, the network never starts up, making me...
Hi, I have a pretty old Sony lapto where I Installed Ubuntu minimal + xfce on it. So far it has worked great. The only problem is that I cannot update to Karmic. Back when it was released, and after...
Sorry for not responding, but I've pretty much given up on this Mac.
The problem I would have about deleting the entire harddrive is deleting the bootstrap partition. Is it OK to delete that?

Let's hear it for Ubuntu advocates and their negativity! I agree, let's not request anything, because nobody should care about Linux or Ubuntu.
Way to go.
The repositories are the same between the different flavors of Ubuntu. So regardless of which one you use, you will still have the same verion of Midori (currently at 0.19 in the Universe...
