Hi All,

As I'm already considering on moving back to Ubuntu or PopOS, I'm getting all my files ready from my legacy MacBook Pro. They're all getting backed up into a 2TB external HD for now so...

Hi All!

I apologize for being unclear with my intentions, this drive will store files, PDFs, photos, videos, basically data only. No apps or programs. Apps and Programs will be installed onto...

Hi All!

I got a 2TB external drive to safely back up my files from my current laptop, a legacy unit MBP (office issued), and I would like to format it so that I can use it with windows, MacOS, and...

I'm still here, now looking for new hardware as my office issued MBP is dying. Since a new MBP fully speced out is quite expensive, thinking of going back to my roots and get a new laptop that either...

Thanks for the information, SeijiSensei!

I'll start with those brands!

Hi All!

It has been a while for me as I had to switch to Mac for work. Well, now my MacBook Pro is getting quite long in the tooth now and I feel it's now time to get a new unit. Unfortunately for...

Howdy! After certain hardware from certain suppliers have become so expensive, I'm looking to come back to the fold.

Hi All!

So my brother finally got around to installing Ubuntu (10.10) into his netbook, but the thing is, it hangs at the step where you put in your computer name, user name, and password. The...

Hi Andy,

Which drivers are you referring to for the wireless network?

Can you give us a sort of procedure guide? My brother is the one who may be doing this and he's not that familiar with the...

Hi All!

My brother has an HP Mini 110 running ******* and it currently has a bout with malware that's eating up all his hard drive space. Before reinstalling *******, he's willing to give Ubuntu a...

Just to update this, I have successfully transferred my inbox and sent files from my work computer.

Thanks!

Am already considering OpenOffice for Mac but my unit's got iWork so I'll try using...

Thanks linuxopjemac.

Reading through it now.

Hopefully, this will cure all my woes. ;)

Hi All,

I'm currently using Ubuntu in the office and I love the stability and reliability it gives.

Recently, I was given a MacBook Pro as a gift and I was working on trying to move some of my...

That's weird, when I check with Skype, it says no devices found. :-k

Speed wise after start up, I can't complain. It is really fast.

It's the speed at start up after I hit the on button is what is slow until after you input the password. Then it's wait a while...

I had the same problem when my office unit was "upgraded" so I had to install stuff from scratch and upgrade via the net.

At first the Koala was fast but it was lacking the effects and what not....

By the way, the included Firefox version now works WAY better than the one in Jaunty. :KS

My current complaint about Karmic is that it takes forever to start up! :mad:

In fairness to the Koala...

Thanks wersdaluv ;)

This is what I got:


Bus 001 Device 102: ID 046d:0896 Logitech, Inc. OrbiCam
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID...

Hi All!

@wersdaluv, you hit the nail on the head with your post. Now I once again have the icons and the weather report. I find it strange as I though I had set the location before :oops:

As...

This happened to a friend of mine as well.

I'll ask him how he solved it. But I believe that he moved to Evolution to temporarily have email.

I had Thunderbird, then moved to Evo, then back to...

Hi All!

I successfully updated my office unit to Karmic but am experiencing a few hiccups.

My weather and temperature icon near the clock has vanished even if I checked it in the preferences....

Let's see...

Tried Skype, Cheese, and webcam.

None of them can even detect the camera. So as of now, it is just on there staring blankly at me... :(

Really weird.

Thanks for the advice jaceleon.

That definitely helped.

I actually wound up reinstalling Ubuntu since a botched Open Office upgrade left me with a permanent command prompt with no graphics.
...

um, was hoping to get it to work with Skype.

Do I really need cheese or wxcam to make it work first?

How do I go about that in the event it works with the aforementioned software? Do they both...

Hi All!

Just an update.

With regards to Pidgin, I reckon I need to upgrade to the next version so since Karmic is just around the corner, I may just wait a while longer. The important thing is...
