1d	comment	how to access system preferences in Ubuntu 12.04 that could be possible, yes. I actually prefer to do fresh installs rather than upgrades for the exact same reasons. If you feel that 12.04 is somewhat slow and buggy for you I'd suggest trying 13.04. Even though it isn't an LTS version I've experienced it to be a lot faster and more stable than 12.04. Again I'd prefer a fresh install.
May 7	comment	Launcher and panel missing [ubuntu 13.04] I just needed to perform the last step of your answer because I have the nvidia card deactivated in bios and never used it but the dconf reset worked perfectly. Thanks!
May 1	comment	Launcher and panel missing [ubuntu 13.04] I've got a ThinkPad T430u with a dedicated nvidia card but I disabled it in the BIOS and never installed any extra drivers or added 'x-swat' or edgers ppa since the intel HD4000 worked perfectly out of the box and I had been running this setup without problems for about 2 months
Apr 28	comment	Problem with background on Ubuntu 13.04? is it possible to re-open the question? Cause now I've git the same bug and 13.04 should be considered stable now.
Apr 17	comment	Permissions for Video folder for minidlna? nope just leave it like that and try if it works out. Works flawlessly on my setup
Apr 9	comment	Permissions for Video folder for minidlna? oh man I think I missed the obvious here...you seem to need to start minidlna as root. I just got the same errors as you did on my setup after rebooting it for the first time in 2 month. you have to type 'sudo minidlna' that should do the trick (providing that all the right permissions are still set on the folders)
Apr 2	comment	VPN for university try using the host provided in the file (vpn-gateway.mcc.ac.uk) instead of the ip
Mar 31	comment	Permissions for Video folder for minidlna? one thing you could do just to verify that ownership was indeed changed is to type 'ls -lh /media' and see if the ownership (3rd and 4th item in the list) is set to 'minidlna' also do this for '/media/Media' and '/media/Media/Videos' to see if the changes were applied recursively
Mar 20	comment	Permissions for Video folder for minidlna? that's very odd...I'll have to look at my own set up again because I've got minidlna running, with my external drive as media partition and I think this was the only change I had to make
Mar 2	comment	Why can't I connect to internet using WiFi? while connected via lan please go to 'settings' -> ' additional drivers' and see if any wifi drivers are suggested.
Feb 23	comment	How to uninstall a program (MagicDraw) and clean hidden files it depends on the way the script is written. It seems to be common practice to leave config folders in your home directory untouched even when you use ` sudo apt-get remove `. I guess they do this so when you later install the program again you still have all your settings. for example firefox profiles etc.
Feb 21	comment	Check latest USB port used by printer I think 'lsusb \| grep EPSON' should show you what bus the device it's using.
Feb 20	comment	Device not working in 12.10 First of all please tell us what device you want to download the driver for? Graphic card, wireless module, fingerprint scanner? And what the driver you try to install through 'Additional Drivers' is called.
Feb 16	comment	Problems installing Ubuntu 11.04 on Asus computer r401v? Hello welcome to askubuntu.com. Please clarify your question and give some more detailed information on your pc (i.e. do you dualboot? What hardware is build into the machine? What do you mean it cannot install? please tell us what exactly is not going as expected) Also, what is your last sentence supposed to mean? ("do not know why but the 4.12 up if left instalr.") I can not make sense of it.
Feb 16	comment	What's the architecture of Ubuntu Phone? that really depends on the window manager, compositor, etc. they're using. There are no official comments yet as to what it will be (as far as I know) but likely something completely new or forked. But I would think that it won't be as easily customizable as your avereage linux desktop. So to put it in your words, it's probably going to be more android like.
Feb 12	comment	There is no application installed for executable files try opening a terminal window and type ./home/PATH/TO/EXECUTABLE. You can also try to make the bootable usb drive with ' start-up disk creator' it's already installed in ubuntu
Jan 30	comment	how to make startup application to open the folder or inode/directory after booting? the problem with this is you'd still have to mount the device /dev/sda4 to /media/almacen first (or in fact any other location) in order to use it with the nautilus command or else the /path/to/directory won't be accesible.
Jan 30	comment	how to make startup application to open the folder or inode/directory after booting? please mount your hard drive and post the output the lsblk command into your question. I will write an answer as soon as I'm home (cell phone right now)
Jan 26	comment	how to make startup application to open the folder or inode/directory after booting? to clarify your question do you just want to mount all your hard disks on start-up so you can use them immediately like you would use your normal / filesystem (this can be done in the background without anything popping up on your screen). Or do you want to mount the filesystem and show it's content in a file manager window right on start-up?
Jan 17	comment	How to Install Ubuntu 12.04 in dual boot with Nvidia drivers geforce GT525m? it's no problem to install windows and ubuntu in dual boot and yes there are drivers available for your video card. however could you explain what exactly you mean by "installing from cd wouldn't work"?
