@amithkk: I'm going to try and live with 10.04 as my driver for the next few months, and just virtualize everything. If I can do that, then I will continue not using 12.04 as long as I can. ;P
the performance issues I get when doing VMs are just horrendous. and 12.10 doesn't solve them either. :(
I am looking for certification on Ubuntu server technology or possibly Debian (as long as its supplied by Canonical, is that even possible?) which Ubuntu is based on.
Is there such a thing provided by Canonical? In what regions are these services available? Can someone get Ubuntu training and ce...
I hear what some of you are saying but guys (and gals) Windows Explorer allows you to create and delete folders anywhere without all the silly "sudo" nonsense. I think that having all of the nuisance "Security" BS is a detriment to happy use of Linux/Ubuntu.
Just my opinion - unrequested but giv...
@LnxSlck i see that. but given the timeline of the downvote and the comment from OP, I think it is reasonable to expect that OP downvoted because it didn't work out for him.
@jrg Andrew probably maybe might not or he might get a Pi depending on the amount of money on hand, which is about $100 over the total cost of the device with all the extras, but why buy a Pi, when you could in fact buy something more powerful for the same price.
@JourneymanGeek He actually has none of that anyway without it having to be an extra. Not very active computer user, the one thing he has at the moment it an HP workstation running Red Hat from a decade ago, the Bios is locked, and so is the OS.
Somethings are wrong with that computer, and there is no way that it serves a purpose as a home desktop considering his parents are adamant that replacing any part of it is a waste of time because it's to begin with, not a great computer as well as from 2002.
Hey does anyone want to buy a G5? It no longer serves a purpose within my computer collection considering I never use it. Ever. It's been months upon months.
@JourneymanGeek My best video card is a nvidia 5200, from a Dell around '05. I have a 2007 macbook I got from a friend because it was totaled. Loose fan bearings, missing screws and the screen looked like it had been hit with a baseball bat.
I think I was forced into ridding myself of many of my older computers due to I never used them and they were not a pretty sight I have something from 1994, and a junk pile of older computers occupying the basement I have yet to discover their working conditions.
@mateo_salta Shiny? Not so much, aluminum, yes, but more airbrushed-ish? Hard to describe the way the aluminum was done on those.
I put 12.04 and used it for a while, but then it occurred to me that there were computers that wouldn't have all of the PPC compatibility issues because of the community supported version.
Over the course of the week I have now saved from whatever I find on the ground enough quarters to go right now and play 63 rounds of pinball.
I am not able to open Ubuntu software center on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
When I run:
software-center
in terminal, I received the reply below. Any ideas? Thanks!
Note: I have NOT attempted running the application using the GUI.

i don't mind this: to this: double oneboxes, but other than that and an occasional image...it's a bit silly. the image-wars that get started are silly. self control == if you post more than 2 images in 30 minutes take a break
I installed DrJava about a week ago. Its been working fine so far but I ran into an infinite loop and wanted a way to stop the program from running without having to force DrJava to quit. Is there a command or hot key that would enable me to do so?
@penreturn most questions on running Virtual Box in Ubuntu and on installing Ubuntu in Virtualbox running in Windows are consider on topic. The closed question asks on how to install Windows - that's why it was considered as off topic.
however I can't seem to find updated site for Linux drivers for his Sound Card, best I could find is www.linuxant.com/drivers/s should I suggest it anyways?
@Takkat yeah I guess I'll suggest that to him with a big DISCLAIMER in caps and suggest he bides his time and waits until a next readily available major update
@Takkat breaking^ (might as well perfect our english while we're solving problems) but yes agreed, and any advice is better than none, if it does become more of a problem they can back-up before trying anything like that :)
@penreturn yeah when I'd just joined the site, I answered a Wubi installation question as if it was a regular install Ubuntu question, giving completely irrelevant information haha :P
@Takkat I've put a disclaimer etc, and they know where I've gotten my information, so it's more if you wanted credit seeing as you're the one who helped me give a moderately suitable answer
@Takkat yeah that's why I suggested patience and setting a bounty in a while, thanks for your advice, I'm off, see you later ;)
We are running more than 600 Ubuntu systems in our company. It is a data centre so we have certain policies. We have disabled the usage of storage devices in all the Ubuntu systems. However we would like to configure email alerts. If someone inserts storage devices, we should get an email Alert w...
I keep trying to post a question and it won't let me because
It does not meet our quality standards.
I'm just leaving the tags from my original question because I don't know how to categorize this one.
Seriously all I want to know is if there's a program that will rip the songs from my i...
There are some annoyances that would require more than just a casual google or from the top of the head answer. Some questions and problems require effort in answering, and the bounty system helps getting these questions answered.
However, for annoyances that are really hard to solve, I would be...
@AnwarShah don't worry. Marco's question will never find enough other people who vote on close. Your vote will then disappear over time (as a benefit you then will also not be able to close vote on this q again forever) ;)
if a blog post or article has the words "Daily PPA" in it, users shouldn't be using it. if you're one of those blog-news sites people, I know who you are... STOP. crowd laugh
(i'm sorry, every time someone says PPA thats what I think of)
