I just wish OOo would get better compatibility with MSOffice. Importing a .doc file from one application to another does not work flawlessly. Quite often, formatting is lost, and embedded images are...
Thanks for that tip!
Ok, I found the install log:
If I delete /usr/local/twonkymedia, does that take care of everything?
I have also found a Twonkymedia folder under /var. I presume...
Thanks - I tried that, but the package is not in Synaptic (or at least, I couldn't find it).
I imagine people would have the same question for anything they install from .sh, or using a...
Nobody?
In essence, the question is how to remove *any* software that has not been installed using synaptic or the software centre...
I'm posting this here, as I imagine the answer may also be useful for other pieces of software...
I have installed Twonkymedia server through a shell script. I tried it out - nice, by the way -...
Indeed. OpenOffice.org and Oracle Open Office are different products.
Oracle Open Office is the previous Star Office. In its core, it is the same as OpenOffice.org, but there are extras that (are...
In my opinion... if you are going to use a router in your network, the speed of transmission of data will probably always be limited by that, rather than by the speed of your HDD.

For me personally:
- Problems to get folder access going in a mixed Ubuntu / Windows environment (you basically need to understand samba, permissions and mounting settings; I'm still figuring...
"to a maximum of US$1,004"
When I read that, I found that a bit cheap. Thousands of people would buy music, thinking that they help save the lynx, and in the end the charity gets a maximum of...
I'm a bit confused... is the problem that you are unable to boot from HD, or that you are unable to boot from LiveCD?
If it is the latter, and other LiveCD's work fine (as I understand from your...
I think I'll wait a week or so until the craze is over, and the forum is full of how-to-make-it-look-like-9.10's ;-). Who knows, might even save me a few gigs on updates and patches (almost wrote...
Wouldn't you also need two videocards then? Just curious...
Seems that I'm missing out 8).

Once you move files over the Internet, the fact that it is in different countries, or within one country, shouldn't matter.
I use dropbox to share workfiles with my colleagues. For free up to 2GB...
I totally agree with that. I just approached it from a home user perspective - perhaps presumptuous of me.
When I built the machine I am using now from old parts (you'd be amazed how nice and...
I know it is solved, but this might still help: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30060/79/

(same question as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464452 with the same poster)
A configuration-free solution is Teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx) - free for non-commercial use. I have tried it a few days ago, and it works great.
I'm not quite there yet... I log in to my xp machine as administrator all the time (I know, I know). Wouldn't entering the admin password just work then?
I just came back for a little update: the solution presented works perfect. Thanks again!
I'll give that a try - many thanks!
I have installed UNR on my little Asus eeepc701, and all works well. However, I would like to make sure the SSD is spared a bit by removing swap completely (the SSD is too small anyway to hibernate)....
I have thought about the same question while planning to have my kids use the desktop (they are 3 and 5). I'm currently looking into solutions to disallow them to use firefox and install a child-safe...
