comment cinnamon not installing in ubuntu 13.04
This will happen when you have installed Gnome. install Aptitude, then do 'sudo aptitude install cinnamon' respond 'n' to the first solution, and it will give a second solution which is to downgrade Gnome and install the correct version!

And I think you could copy data from your /home partition to a new one that is ext4 with a tool like rsync. I think you would have to copy the data though, because I don't think you can change a partition type. Like make a new /home partition and use rsync to copy all the data to it. Also with moving the /boot partition I believe that GParted has the ability to copy/paste partitions, and that is probably what you want to do. And you would have to edit fstab accordingly. You don't want to drop extended partition management, you will still want to have it on the new disk.

I know that moving the /boot partition with GParted won't be that much of a problem as long as the new partition has the 'boot' flag set and you run link as well. I am not sure about moving windows though.

comment How to get Nautilus-scripts working on Ubuntu 13.04?
Ok! I think if you want more help with this though you should probably make a new question about right clicking in empty space with the new nautilus. As this question is about getting the scripts to work at all. I will try to look for an answer though

I am not sure how to get right clicking empty space to open up the Nautilus script menu, but I think that would be another question. The folder used above does (I believe) work on right click of empty space in 12.10. I will confirm that soon, when I can get on a computer with 12.10.

comment Ubuntu Won't Connect to Ethernet Network that doesn't provide internet access
I don't believe I can, but that wouldn't be an issue because the router is configured specifically by first robotics. I think that it probably isn't worth figuring out though because it is probably only a problem with Ubuntu and the first router, and for all I know they might have made it so only a windoze computer could connect because they don't support linux for other things

I do have a router, just the router isn't connected to the Internet. Actually I think the problem might be that the router is set to give out a certain IP to computers, I willtry that though. (I am not sure what the frc router is set to do)

I think after installing the nvidia drivers, it won't work until re install. I had to before it worked.
