I'd hazard a guess that you used the apostrophe rather than the backtick (found left of the "1" key). Try it with the backtick key.

The expired sources need to be removed from your /etc/apt/sources.list file (or, at the very least, commented out). You might look for other ppas with your desired "up to date" apps, and if found,...
I've a question or two before going any farther (to avoid potential wild-a** guesses): when booting from the cd, you are holding the "c" key down, correct? Thereafter, your display goes totally...
Since OSX boots, this may not be a resolution, but I had similar problems with a G4 cube "back in the day". What worked for me was to reset the PRAM by holding down the Option, "Open Apple", p and r...
I have the same problem with eject on the Cubes. I try to be quick in "grabbing" the CD-R so it doesn't have a chance to retract; sometimes, I'm successful. :-)
Yes, run in terminal. Yes, the entire list; that's why I suggested use of code tags.
On the repository issue, please post your /etc/apt/sources.list for review. I was running 10.04 on a G4 Cube until this morning, and did not have the 404 problems you describe. If I was going to post...
You would enter the code entries in the Terminal, accessed by selecting System from the top toolbar, then selecting Accessories from the drop-down list, then select Terminal from that list. When...
Is there a separate /boot partition? If so, this may be where the "no room" problem is. I'm guessing that your mother-in-law's computer has many kernels installed. If this is so, you should remove...

Also, if the OP has multiple kernels, deleting an older kernel or kernels using Synaptic will clear space on /boot.
You didn't specify which commands were the ones with which you're having no luck. I'll hazard a guess about this, which is a guess. I suspect your d/l is in Downloads. Have you changed to the...
Duplicate thread.
As it is owned by root, preface the command with sudo. You will then enter your password (no visual feedback), press the enter key, and should carry out the command.
fdupes runs from the command line. I suspect it is installed at /usr/bin/fdupes, but you can check by typing
which fdupesfrom the terminal (System>Accessories>Terminal). BTW, as it doesn't have a...
I'd suggest setting up a partition formatted NTFS which gives r/w abilities in both. Not sure in ext3 anymore (don't use OSX at all), but at one time, could read from but not write to ext3 in OSX.
Another option would be Linux Mint XFCE (201104), which is based upon Debian "testing", but has taken some of the work out of configuration.

@duke66, thanks for the information. There is a suggestion in the above link that increasing your virtual screen size gives...
Venturing into an area where I have little knowledge or experience is dangerous, but a question: what resolutions are supported by the host system drivers? IIRC, this is a potential limiting factor.
It sounds to me that the red lines are the spell checker at work. Check your spelling. :-)
Have the recipients of your emails mentioned receiving emails with red lines under some of the words? Or,...

These are various kernels installed on your system. You may remove them through Synaptic (be sure you do not remove the one to which you are booted). To find out which one this is, run
uname -rfrom...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux suggests using Dragon Naturally Speaking under wine, or running it under windows in a virtual machine. Not a good solution for me at present,...
I have done a search following a stroke which left a deficiency with my right hand, and have concluded there isn't anything worthwhile in Linux along these lines. Perhaps someone else has found...
