I hate to say it but I get the feeling that 9.10 was rushed. So many network/internet issues. For an OS trying to prove its ready for prime time, having internet issues is a bad start.

Don't get...

That is such a simple trick that I never would have thought of. Thanks!

I believe this is called 'CD bronzing' which is also n=known as 'laser rot' or 'disc rot'. There is no cure.

Hi,

I run a virtualbox Windows XP in Ubuntu, is a virtual windows installation still vulnerable to viruses? I assume that it is so I do have anti virus software but I'd ratjer get rid of it if its...

'Desktop' and 'Laptop'. I am very creative.

I had downloaded a torrent that night (I was downloading jaunty) but I it had finished a few hours earlier and I had closed Deluge and deleted the torrent file.

Hi,

Last night I opened Firestarter and saw under the 'events' tab that I had all these blocked connections from various ip addresses, all on port 4613, protocol UDP. I know nothing of networking...

Thanks for the tip! I did new installs on both my machines and I could no longer connect them by ssh. This fixed it.

You can go into 'Organize Bookmarks' in the bookmarks menu and then export them. When you reinstall it, just import them. Or even better, grab the Xmarks (formerly Foxmarks) add-on for Firefox.

I installed on both of my machines (64-bit). Went smoothly. I did the installs from a USB flash drive.

You can have my Firefox when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. :)

Honestly, I've only briefly tried Opera, Chrome and a few others so I don't have much of a comparison. I just love Firefox and...

I think this is true. I've been running the beta since it came out. There were lots of updates at first, but then they slowed down and today, there were only a few. I tried to upgrade using the...

I downloaded both the Live and alternate CD's (64-bit) from torrents about 3 hours ago. I was getting blazing speeds. Each one averaged around 800kb/s and were hitting 1.5mb/s regularily. It took...

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading - near the bottom of the page are instructions on how to upgrade from the alternate install CD.

I've been running the Beta for the past little while and it looks like I got my final few upgrades this morning. I'm glad I have the final release now but it kind of takes the fun out of new release...

I've followed this guide and had no issues using my wimote as an IR remote in Hardy, Intrepid and now Jaunty. Thank you Rhubarb!

Select 'try Ubuntu without change'.

Its simpler than you think. The 'windows stanza' is the text you see in the boot menu, its the option you select to boot xp, you won't want it if you don't have it. All you have to do is edit your...

I also use AWN and have found it to be buggy, I'm not even able to change the icons at all. I've had that problem with 8.04 and 8.10 and two different machines. The only common element is AWN so it...

Thanks!

I'm so glad I asked. I was thinking that it would detect it. Again, 5 minutes spent consulting the forum has probably saved me an hour's worth of frustration.

I laugh when people say...

I posted my question in the following thread:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 but its an old one so I don't think I'll get a reply.

In my question, I refer to using 'this method' to...

I try to fix because I learn more. At first I would just reinstall, often it would be faster than trying to find a fix because I have a good back up I can easily restore but I wouldn't learn anything...

I auto mount my ntfs drives by using the NTFS configuration tool. If you go to add/remove programs and search NTFS you'll find it.

Hello,

I have used this method before but the set up I had at the time was the my / and /home directories were on the same partition. I am going to be migrating my /home directory to a new...
