Ubuntu will not be upgrading the default Firefox package to 3.5 until Ubuntu 9.10. However, the universe repository in Ubuntu 9.04 includes a special firefox-3.5 package. At the time of writing this package contains an old beta release. It should be updated soon, but here’s a workaround if you can’t wait any longer.

All in all #ubuntu101 was a success! Several people showed up with laptops. We got off to a slow start due to a stubborn IBM Thinkpad that did not want to boot from USB, which we fixed by running one of the nice CDs that I had ordered from the Ubuntu shop. Due to unknown causes the main NoDa wireless network would not connect to the internet so we all ended up neighbor-netting off of a dlink router. Thanks to whomever left it open!

I have several Ubuntu CDs and Ubuntu sticker sheets still up for grabs, let me know if you want some!

The wonderful owner of Dolce Vita Wines, Irma Wolfe, took excellent care of us and provided us with a projector along with space for the workshop.

Thank you to @flakitru, @justinholtweb, @subtlegusto, @93octane, @vinnie, @benmarvin, @beccaomgz, and @unanything for coming!

Well, I couldn't wait to download VirtualBox 3 now that Sun released it officially, but almost had a heart attack when my Ubuntu Linux 9.04 Desktop virtual machine freezed up when running the update manager! I had to shut down the VM and tried again, but got the same result! Then I decided to change the network adapter type to Intel:
 
 
Then I restarted my virtual machine, and the problem disappeared! The update manager could do his job without any problems:
 
 
Now, I'm just waiting for my Ubuntu VM to restart after applying the upgrades...
So, if you run into the same problem when installing VirtualBox 3, remember to change your network adapter type first and try again. If the problem persists, send me an email or ask for help on the http://www.virtualbox.org...

Recently I upgraded my machine to Ubuntu Jaunty(9.04), and believe me its superb. The boot time is pretty less, everything seems to work perfectly. Except the video. I am unable to play any video file in any player. I am using Intel 845GLAD motherboard(integrated Graphics card). And I searched over the internet to find out, whether its just me or anybody else is also facing the same problem. Yes there are many. So I tried the popular solution:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4. Then the video starts getting played, compiz effects seem to work properly. But suddenly rendering was not getting done properly. Many horizontal lines were getting displayed on my screen, So I moved back to latest intel video driver. How do I get my video working on Jaunty?

Che delusione! Banshee sarà il player musicale di default di Ubuntu 9.10. Avrei preferito che Ubuntu adottasse una politica più simile a quella di Fedora: niente software basati su Mono nell'installazione di default.

首先下载google-notebook.xpi插件包

wget http://dl.google.com/firefox/google-notebook.xpi

将其解压,编辑install.rdf文件

修改第14行 <em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion>

将版本号3.0.*改为3.5.*甚至3.6.*


然后保存,再进行打包,将其重命名为google-notebook.xpi

再在Firefox中打开文件中选中打包后的google-notebook.xpi,接下来的事情就同正常的安装插件一样步骤了

 

应该还有其他的方法!

Thanks to a review at anythingbutipod, I bought Ness a pink Sansa Clip. It is pretty, small, sounds good and cost £25. She likes it a lot.


It did have some problems with Ubuntu and with OGG support. I fixed both with a firmware upgrade.

Out of the box, the Clip only supports USB MTP mode; rather than the usual UMS USB mode, where the Clip is recognised as a drive. Apparently, this is because MTP is better at avoiding data corruption. Unfortunately it is also more fiddly under Linux and gives you less control over the device.

Luckily the new firmware gives you UMS mode, but I had to work this all out for myself. I wrote a small howto and threw it up on the Ubuntu Wiki.
