To install with the command line is actually easier than synaptic…for example to install VLC medai player you put up a terminal (shell,Konsole etc) and type…
sudo apt-get install vlc hit enter and your done.

Look at the ebay site. I just saw Ununtu stickers for laptops on ebay a few minutes ago.

I’ve now eradicated all traces of Windows from my home computing. Now to get an Ubuntu sticker to place next to the somewhat ironic “I’m a PC” sticker on the back of the Dell (on which I drew “TV” in black marker over the “PC”, as that’s the only thing I used it for).

Hi I installed Ubuntu 9.10 via WUBI a while ago and now would like to put it on a separate partition. I’ve heard that LVPM (Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager) can do this but is only officially supported and tested on 8.04 and below. Is there any other way to do this without losing any of my settings?

Thanks!

I like ubuntu, but how do you get system tools to work? It’s not listed in my applications or anywhere else, and I need it. Thanks.

I should have clarified, that the arrow is actually a speaker, it just looks like a arrow.
Click on it, and go from there.

Look at yout bottom panel on your screen, there will be a arrow on there. Click on it and it will display output level. Your sound may be muted. If so just uncheck mute, and you will have sound.

I suddenly find that i have no sound and cannot find the loud speaker icon. Otherwise the latest Ubuntu works just great. i cannot understand why so many people flock to “windows”

Ubuntu works great. But I made a mistake, and loaded it wicw. It shows up on my start up screen two times. How do I remove one of them/ Thanks.

Hi Andrew – I’ve mentioned Synaptic package manager as a good place to start. Instructions below!

Hi Alex

A really good place to start is Synaptic package manager.

To launch Synaptic, choose System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

Amarok makes a good music player!

Installed a new HD on my old Dell.Reinstalled Windows xp then installed Ubuntu 9.1 inside Windows.Ubuntu loads fine when booted but I cannot get it to connect to the internet. Windows does.I used to have Ubuntu 9 before as my only OS and it worked well having to go through all that sudo this and sudo app that to get it to work with various applications. Aside from being a computer idiot,whats my problem with getting connected?

Hey, I’m a COMPLETE newbie to this and I’m just wondering about whether my laptop has the right specs to install ubuntu. I’m sick of XP and a mac is just too expensive for me atm.

I can’t get to it atm but I think it’s something like 128MB RAM, 40GB hard drive (I know, sad.) and 350mhz processor. I think it’s an IBM thinkpad from about 6 years ago lol!
I also plan to completely wipe the hard drive before installing my new OS, but I can’t get administrators privilages. what can I do?
thanks!
