Eh, it's probably better to install
lubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends.

Yeah, it's probably not possible on this computer. It doesn't even have an ethernet port. The most urgent thing is getting the data out of it, which includes some of my family's first digital photos....

Eh, I reinstalled when I had the occasion to and recreated the account with a new password. Not the ideal solution, but a solution nonetheless. It's a good thing though that I have a separate /home...

The stock Ubuntu keyboard software.

Should it be called Cubuntu though? Besides the obvious homophony with Kubuntu, there are various unofficial *buntu derivatives named Cubuntu based on CDE (Common Desktop Environment) and...

Aesthetically, I'd prefer Gubuntu > Gnubuntu > GNUbuntu > Gnobuntu > GNObuntu > Ubuntu GNOME > the rest. Realistically, Gubuntu is out because of Goobuntu. (Pronunciation does in fact matter.)...

Using the compose key, I can type Ŧ, ŧ, Đ, đ, ƀ, and ǥ. The first four are composed with a hyphen-minus (-), while the last two are composed with a forward slash (/). How do I type Ᵽ, ᵽ, Ƀ, Ꝁ, ꝁ, and...

That may be it.

I changed my login password through User Account. When I restarted then logged back in, or logged out and logged back in, I got a prompt to enter a password for the login keyring, which turned out to...

Does anyone have an answer?

I installed lubuntu-desktop on top of my Ubuntu installation. While that worked fine, the splash screen branding changed from Ubuntu to Lubuntu. How do I change it back to Ubuntu?

I started testing Linux including Ubuntu about two years ago on VirtualBox. I only recently (about two months ago) installed Ubuntu natively and switched completely when my laptop with Windows 7...

We may want to bring back the original orange/brown theme from before Lucid while we're at it. :D

Sounds like the consensus is OpenShot. Thank you!

Thanks for the concise (and on-topic) explanation.

But these explanations don't explain what a shell is. What's the difference between GNOME and GNOME Shell? Is Cinnamon (a shell) not a complete desktop environment?

I began seeding an ISO image for a DVD, which I already had downloaded, that was located in a folder called ~/Downloads/Live DVD. Once I opened up the torrent file, Transmission recognized that it...

Thanks. Is there one you prefer to use (or would that be OpenShot)?

For example, GNOME, KDE, Xfce, MATE, and LXDE are desktop environments, *boxes are window managers, and Unity, GNOME Shell, Cinnamon, and KDE Plasma are shells according to Wikipedia. What does this...

I'm trying to choose between Kdenlive, LiVES, Cinelerra, and Avidemux. I'm looking for a relatively powerful video editor that's well-integrated with Ubuntu (not necessarily other *buntus). It should...

Is it possible for the Ubuntu team to update the ISO image for the currently supported version? When I do a fresh install of 12.04, I always get an internal error which I report to Ubuntu, and I...

Yes, but how will each install options affect functionality? I mean, do I really need lubuntu-desktop or --no-install recommends lubuntu-desktop rather than lubuntu-core?

They are of the same architecture. It still keeps crashing, though, so I had to uninstall it again. YouTube videos work when I opt into the HTML5 beta, but some videos are still unavailable in WebM...

Okay, I reinstalled Ubuntu without sharing the /boot partition. Now it's fine. What's the point of having a separate /boot partition anyway if you can't share them?

If I want to do a minimal install, then install a desktop, there are apparently three ways.



apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

apt-get install --no-install-recommends lubuntu-desktop
