I have become so frustrated with the Unity GUI that I my never use Ubuntu again. Not long ago, Ubuntu was the go to distro for user friendly Linux. Now it is so difficult to do even the most basic tasks and overloaded with so much useless software that I don't think I'll ever use it again...

Hi, I installed Ubuntu 11.10 as a partition on the same HD as my Windows 7; after rebooting the HD would not boot into either OS. I've tried to set partition flags to 'boot' but it does nothing. Should there be some files I need in /boot ? I'm able to mount and access the files on either...

Homework Statement I can't understand what's causing this bug. I'm not trying to actually use this program, but it's just something I made up to learn how it works, and understand why things don't work, while I'm learning C++. So my question is, what's causing this program to get this error...

Has anybody succeeded in compiling the gas detector software GARFIELD on ubuntu (lucid lynx 10.4) ? I've been struggling for more than a week now, and didn't get it up and running - mainly due to the gfortran instead of g77 compiler (I think).

Hello everyone, I'm considering switching to Ubuntu. But I'm not sure if it suits my work needs. I will summarize my questions in points: I use MS Word for my writings, I need full equation editor, does Open Office provide that? I use some table method in MS Word to number my equations...

I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and I'm unable to install my modem which works perfectly under Windows XP. The model is a Huawei SmartAX MT882. I have the drivers in a CD I believe, but I'm unable to install them. I have absolutely no experience with Ubuntu/Linux so any help is welcome. P.S...

God I love this Linux OS so far. No need for virus or adware/malware scanners anymore. Very easy to use. I only use this comp for going on the internet/email/and word processing. Who needs windows? I'm never going back to windows again. The only thing is, why does my fan in the computer...

Hi all, I am unsure which binary I need to use for the installation of g95 on Ubuntu 64-bit. None of the binaries on www.g95.org specify that they are for Ubuntu and as a newbie to Linux it is a mystery to me which one I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Natski

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum but I think that mathematicians often work with LaTex and should be able to answer. Could you please recommend me any kind of software for creating diagrams (plotting functions, drawing vectors, writing down matrices, etc) and then converting these...

A certain website from work can only be accessed using internet explorer 6.0 or higher. I'm on ubuntu all the time and can't access it using mozzila. I've grown tired switching back to XP just to view the site which is in text only pretty much. So is there a way to trick the website somehow...

I tried to install ubuntu 6.1 (I know it's old) a few days ago. When I tried to install it a message came up saying "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly." Then I have the option to view the X server and diagnose the problem...

Hi, I recently moved to the Mac family. I have so far been very happy, adapted pretty well to the fancy colors and the environment is not so strange anymore, but it's true that I miss Linux. So, would you think it makes sense to install a dual boot with Ubuntu ? Did anybody here do that...

I am running Kubuntu Hardy Heron and I have the same problem I had with Debian, that the Qt packages put the libs and includes all over the place, not in one place such as /usr/lib and /usr/include This means that I can't set QTDIR unless I obtain the Qt sources and compile and install in...

http://www.ubuntu.com/ Downloading right now, although servers are getting hammered at the moment. I'm hoping to virtualize my XP desktop here at work and format this machine with Ubuntu.

Hello, Celestia runs fine, except when i go to satellites ( Hubble, ISS, etc). When i hit the 'g' key it doesn't show anything for the object, instead a blackish type sphere is displayed. I'm running it on an older system: Dell GX240 2.4Ghz Pentium4 1gb DDR 2700 Geforce MX440 64MB I...

Hello everyone. I know in ubuntu, and any other linux or Unix based systems perhaps, one would have to write the code in VI, save it, and then compile and run it. My numerical analysis teacher gave us a few assignments and he wants them to be done using the c language. The thing is I don't know...

I've installed Ubuntu few hours ago, and I'm getting quite silly problem. When I use firefox and put in any website, I get, "The connection was refused when attempting to contact google.com (any website) Every other thing seems to be fine, I can ping hosts, update and download stuff using wget...

I tried installing Ubuntu on my computer. Turns out that the CD-ROM is not compatible with it (it's phillips). Can I install it from an external CD drive (my computer does not boot from external CD Drives)? If so, how? I don't have a floppy drive so I can't use boot floppies. I also...

There was a lot of attention swirling around Ubuntu, so I decided to try it. I don't know, it's probably nice for the people switching to Linux for the first time from Windows, but I didn't really like it. You have no control over anything during the installation process except partitioning. But...
