You have made it very difficult to use your operating system. Your installation process is nice, kudos. But once the installation is done, why do I have to search random websites to find software installation instructions?!?!?!?!
I am an average computer user, I need: VLC (videos), iTunes (musi...
@Alvar Locally, yes. But I assume the'y're looking for a way to remotely show it to their clients. But, as I said, we'll see so, once the response comes in.
I set up a new VPS instance of Ubuntu and am wondering what the easiest way is to get up and running with a basic LAMP stack (i.e. which packages are required, which configuration options need to be tweaked, if any, etc.).
When opening a page from my server, I sometimes get a "Permission denied" error which I can solve by running chmod -R 777 /var/www. However, people are telling me that this is a bad idea for security reasons.
Why should I not chmod /var/www 777?
(apologize in advance, I'm a pro-windows newly converted to ubuntu... if my questions are obvious, please tell me).
I want to build a ubuntu server continuously connected to the internet. I own only IP address. The main purpose of the server is to serve as a source code controller (probably git ...

@iSeth you seem to be pretty enthusiastic with the cleaning, maintenance and janitorial work, so i'm going to make use of my room ownership and add you.
/review is so helpful compared to all the other moderation tools out there. other than to moderator only ones. but those aren't really useful, except for certain things that I can't talk about. :P
@FEichinger it can be a bit hairy sometimes, but it's not that difficult.
I am trying to categorize threads where people are just trying to get a Unix laptop or a Linux laptop.

I don't rally like any DE ... I use Unity cause I don't give a flying, it doesn't need any further config to work like I need it and it is included in the default install anyway.

If I create a partition to backup files in windows before installing Ubuntu, is that partition safe after installing Ubuntu?
Also I plan on replacing Windows 7 with Ubuntu.
Editing the question to a "real" "Where to get an ubuntu laptop?" does make it a multiple duplicate - of all the links in the answer (Which is also a NARA, actually, as it only asks "does this help you?").
So, either edit + close as dupe or close as narq.
Why the edit when it should be closed anyway? Get my drift?
Of course we could consider a canonical question to that, but ... I don't think we need that yet. I haven't seen a recent rise in questions about that.
"How can I buy a freedom-respecting Unix laptop " - What?!?!?!
@mateo_salta I'll vote to close that question since it has no purpose
meta.askubuntu.com/q/5638/10698 Close this question, it's just a "scam" so that he could get the hat. it's not an answer you need. it's stated in the info that you got when you entered the competition.
Does anyone know why Firefox cannot display Facebook pages, even the main front page on www.facebook.com. Works sort of okay in Chrome except for the error 500 pages that I get a lot of but I eventually, after many minutes can get a log-on. Opera cannot find facebook at all unless using a proxy....
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 (Win7 Dual-boot) today, so I am a newbie in the world of Ubuntu. I like it, because it is very new and interesting to me, but there is a thing, that really annoys me. When I have a window open, it is usually okay to use the mouse, but if I open a new window (like fir...

I installed fastdebug build of JDK 6 (Linux x64 version, since there is no Ubuntu specific build) in /usr/lib/jvm directory, manually set during installation process.

The answer to your questions is yes (with a catch), but you have to use CCSM.
You can resize Windows using a shortcut key:
However, I'm not 100% sure that you can stop Windows from resizing when you hit screen borders.
As for having them snap to certain edges, the "Grid" plugin can do just t...

Does aptitude remember forgotten packages after rerun?
