Also known as the death rattle. I'd back up ASAP, while you still can.
Most repositories provide the key as a cryptic number (you'll most likely see it in the error itself, or you can google the repository and see if the key shows up somewhere.) Once you get the key,...
This is meaningless. It simply means you haven't installed the repository's signing key. No biggie. I get well over a dozen of these errors whenever I update my sources since I have a lot of third...
The easiest way to install Swiftfox or Swiftweasel, is to simply use your package manager as usual.
1. Open a gnome-termnial and type:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Copy and paste the...
It's also possible that your computer doesn't fully recognize RAM sticks greater than 512 MB. While 2.0 GB are recognized, perhaps only 1.5 GB total are available. In that case, you can see if...
You have to be careful. Some Linux tools do NOT preserve ACL information when copying or backing up files!! An important but easily overlooked aspect of introducing new features like EAs and ACLs...
Have your resolution issues been resolved?
Excuse me? You solicited my opinion when you opened a thread entitled "4 GB vs. 8 GB." This implies you're seeking input, which I provided. So, it appears you actually will use a lot of RAM;...
Please don't fall into the trap that more is necessarily better. Trust me when I inform you that you will hardly notice any difference going from 4 GB to 8 GB of RAM. Unless you're rendering...
Hello! Use the following as your xorg.conf file. Since you and I both have Nvidia cards and wide screen monitors, you should be able to get away with using my xorg.conf file.
Here's how:
1. ...
You said it correctly in your first sentence: "I think it may be a few more years before I'm ready to make the full switch from XP to Linux..." I take issue, however, where you go on to say that...
It's really sad when people make their first tentative steps into the world of Linux but then run back to Windows at the very first sign that "OMG!! Something is different!!!" I'm not sure what...

Okay, I tried reinstalling the RC and VirtualBox crashes. I also tried the 2.6.31-RC5 and 2.6.30.5 Kernels to no avail. I also downgraded my Nvidia driver from 190.18.3 to 180.60 to...
Excellent suggestion. Also, I've updated to the 2.6.31-RC6 Kernel and was able to reproduce the crash. I'm also going to poke about in the logs to see if I can learn any clue. Thanks.
Hi guys! I previously installed the Windows 7 RC in VirtualBox and when the RTM version of Win7 Professional became available to an IT friend of mine I attempted to install it to check out...
Use your Ubuntu Live CD to boot your machine. Then use Gparted to shrink the XP partition by X GB. Then, simply expand the Ubuntu partition by the same X GB. Be careful! Make sure you backup any...
From what I can see from what you posted, you still haven't added the resolution you want to your xorg.conf file. Here's what mine looks like so you can see the difference. Ubuntu 9.04+ uses a very...
Just a helpful hint...please try Google, or searching these forums before posting questions. Yours has been asked...and answered at least a zillion times already.
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root;...
Unfortunately, Kubuntu has a well deserved reputation for being unpolished and sub-par in quality compared to its bigger sibling Ubuntu. Think of it as Jan Brady to Ubuntu's Marsha. I hate to do...
Try Google. There are literally thousands of articles and tutorials on how to run Windows programs in Linux. Personally, if you're committed to learning Linux you'll go cold turkey and use open...
Synaptic is merely a GUI to manage your packages, but, it does have some filtering ability which I suspect is the reason you see only a subset of packages to which you can actually access. Go into...
You will need to start with a blank hard disk and always (ALWAYS) install Windows first. Windows assumes its the only operating system in the world and therefore won't detect, let alone add, other...
Once again, making things harder than they are. Simply change "firefox" to "firefox-3.5" wherever you call the web browser; be it shortcuts, etc.
Okay, since you're using an Intel graphics chipset and Ubuntu Jaunty you should be warned that X performance is absysmal. Ubuntu, as usual, decided it was more important to release on time rather...
Since Ubuntu releases are frozen in time at the point of their release, installing newer packages (i.e., GTK 2.8.xx) will be problematic because they will invariably require libraries that are not up...
