comment Shutdown command history in terminal
OK - good info - I have been using Windows forever, just getting my feet wet with Linux the last few months, in my spare time. I will have to poke around. I don't start commands with a space that I know of. Maybe Ubuntu has shutdown defined in HISTIGNORE by default because they have the GUI, etc?

See david6's answer below. Anyhow, I am not an expert in this but I think you should be looking for something that says x86 or something like that.

comment ubuntu 12.04.1 lts installation problem on hp dreamscreen
Curious: why did you install the amd file since you have an intel processor. Also, I would suggest installing a 32 bit version. I suppose it should work but generally for 64 bit the entry level is 4 GB - otherwise you're not really going to get anything out of a 64 bit system - 32 bits will address your entire 2 GB of RAM.

comment Installed then removed Kubuntu Desktop - now Ubuntu/Unity doesn't look quite right
I don't know what apt-get autoremove did - it did an awful lot... .gtkrc-2.0 and .fonts.conf files are simple config files, not packages, correct? I did not see them in Synaptic at all. Can I just copy them from someplace? Install them? where do they go? . As I said below, it's actually not bad the way it is now - clearer and faster in some aspects it seems - and I don't think anything is broken- but some things just look sort of OLD. Tnx.

--reinstall ubuntu-desktop didn't seem to do anything. Didn't download anything, just reinstalled the desktop. Everything still looks the same, even after I bounced the machine.

comment Using QQ: How can I make Byobu the default terminal
That worked fine. Meanwhile I had tried another suggestion - overwrite the cntrl/alt-t with Byobu. But it didn't work. A got the warning that I'm overwriting, said OK and the hotkey was mapped to Byobu. But it doesn't work. In fact, Byobu doesn't seem to work with any keyboard shotcuts when you define them in the keyboards config applet. Any clues? BTW-good job on Byobu.
