Do you let him drink pop and/or energy drinks? It's a different means to the same end. I hate coffee, but I am a certified caffeine addict by virtue of the amount of Coke/Amp/Monster I drink. Never...

I'm using Kino myself, bit of a learning curve coming from Windows but for the casual editing I do, it works just fine.

System->Administration->Hardware Drivers.

Run synaptic and get start up manager, then set -19 for your default OS. Doesn't fix -21, but it works until someone does.

I did my usual updates this afternoon, and didn't restart until I got home from work tonight, when I realized that the updated had killed my wireless... again. Plugged into the wall and reinstalled...

The right gimp-data file is on the getdeb page.

I installed them with Gdebi instead of terminal, might have taken a bit longer but it worked. Double click on the main gimp package, and it will...

Care to elaborate for the less literate? That command accomplishes nothing for me.

Please do! I downloaded all the files off of get deb and tried to install them with package manager and it's just causing all kinds of problems and giving me broken package messages and wanting me to...

Yes, I have all the codecs installed.

mc4man, I've not yet had a reason to open a program with the terminal, so I wouldn't know how to enter VLC via the terminal.

Yes, I'm on 8.04

I changed the launch command, now it taunts my by almost playing. The VLC window now expands and just starts to play with one DVD, I tried a different one and VLC just quits, and...

I tried everything I found to get Totem to play nice with DVD's, with no progress, so I downloaded VLC and set it as default, but it still is non functional. The computer recognizes that there is a...

I like to run FF3 in full screen mode, because I run a 14" laptop, and I like to make the most of my screen space that I can. The only issue I'm having, is that every time a flyover (like a thread...

If you want to simply delete all the files on the player, put it in MSC mode and it will show up on your desktop when it's plugged in, then just open it and delete the files you want gone like...

3 Computers, 2 live, one dead.

1. Laptop (mine) - Ubuntu 8.04
2. Desktop (parents) - Windows XP SP2, runs slower than mollases but mom isn't interested in fixing it.

Something was wrong with this machine when I got it used, vista wouldn't boot, not that I gave a rat's *** as I was dead set on diving straight into Linux from the get. I occasionally have to help my...

I didn't know to try it. :mrgreen:

So, I made the rookie mistake of removing evolution through synaptic, reinstalled evolution and ubuntu-desktop so everything is running as it should again. I have this glitch though, that makes...

Ok, so in a move of shear brilliance today I removed my lower "panel" (the one across the bottom of the screen that lists the windows and has the trash icon etc...) and I'd like to put it back. I...

I just installed wine and to test it I just grabbed the first game I found, Trophy Bass 3D, fun game but I haven't played it since my W98 days, it did install, and it tries really hard to work but...

Twice now I've had my computer log me out without my doing anything. I'll be surfing the web and the screen will go black save for a bunch of dash like lines then it brings me to the login page. I'm...

You should be able to just turn the click feature off in System>Preferences>Mouse under touchpad.

Mine seems like it's only worse once the computer has been running for a while and warms up some, but even that's sporadic. Right now it works fine, a minute ago, it was all over the place. Same for...

I got my Hardy install up and running, got wireless working (still not sure how, but I did) and for a minute when I first got the computer going after install, the trackpad was really erratic...
