Two points of clarification:

The system in question is only running Ubuntu; it is not dual booting.
I realize no one may have a complete answer, but any clue as to potential reasons why the...

I was running an up-to-date version of Ubuntu lucid 10.04.4 LTS and used update-manager to upgrade to precise 12.04.1 LTS. After the upgrade was completed, a reboot of the system ended midway in a...

biodiesel-bri: You installed it on Oneiric (11.10) I take it? What version of Open AL is in use on your system (eg. as shown by 'apt-cache show libopenal-dev')?

I tried to follow the directions...

Thanks, that does look helpful. That link was talking about logging in via a display manager like GDM. I was wondering whether it's possible for the same user to log into a second session while the...

davidmohammed: Thinstation is definitely interesting as a dedicated thinclient, but as I said in my original post my goal is to have the option at any time to start a local desktop only, a remote...

I had been running NX client in a maximized window on one of my 4 workspaces. This is an okay setup, but running it in a different X Server would more effectively separate it from the other work I...

How are you deleting the files? By default, if you select a file (with the left mouse button) in the Nautilus file browser and press the delete key, the item should be moved to the trash bin. If...

Hi Sams2100,

I can definitely see how that behavior is pretty undesirable. I'm guessing that the app is probably eating up 100% of the CPU too. I think you're right that you ought to still be...

Elephantman, I just tried the procedure from the first post on my fresh install of breezy and it worked fine. What repositories are you using? Usually those sorts of dependancy issues come from...
