I use an Acer Aspire One netbook for work, with Ubuntu 10.10, and am very happy with it. Unfortunately, I now have to use certain music teaching resources for which I have to have Windows. I have a copy of XP Pro, and want to load it as a dual boot if that is possible. I have searched on Google, but everything seems to relate to loading Ubuntu after XP, rather than vice versa.

I made the mistake of eagerly adopting 10.04 as soon as it came out; and while 10.04 itself is running really well (I'm writing to you from it now), my 9.10 install (which, before you ask, I didn't install over!) has gone wrong! I'm a bit of a Ubuntu noob, so I don't know exactly what's gone wrong. All I really know for sure is that it comes up with an error while trying to run up giving me the option (amongst others) to run in 'low graphics mode' - but unfortunately this just brings me to a console, and the other options (I think they're to use a previous working version, or reconfigure) don't seem to work at all.
Is there a way from the command line to just reinstall all the gui bits? Is that going to mess up my install even further? As it stands, I'm stuck at just copying my stuff off my 9.10 partition into 10.04 (which granted, isn't the end of the world).
Is there a different way to install GDM themes in 10.10; I don't see the 'login window' option under system > administration?

Is it possible to install Launchy on 64-bit Ubuntu? The only deb package provided is an i386 which gave me "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'" when I tried to install it.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10 on my system76 notebook as I was having problem after problem after upgrading. However, not having up to date software is a bit of a problem. How should I go about installing firefox 3.5 so I can have the most up to date version? Will I need to compile? Can I just install a .deb from karmic repos? Does the current version need removed first?
And there are several other pieces of software I want to stay current with, such as digiKam, but found it impossible because of dependency hell. Should I expect to be downloading tarballs and compiling any programs I want to upgrade past their stage in the 8.10 repos?

I'm not sure if it's readable on some computers, but there are two folders within the main folder. They are labeled as gtk-2.0, metacity-1, and a notepad file called "ColorBit" which is the name of the the actual theme.

I noticed that many people, as well as me, want to install skype on 8.04. I found many tutorials with lots of dependences and terminal commands. So i found a better solution how to install.
1. Go to Skype's download site: Latest 2.1 version - click here
2. Download Static (5th type, little skype cube), i didn't test any others so maybe some of them work
3. Save .tar.bz2 (26,3 MB)
4. Extract
5. Open the folder and run Skype.exe
6. Done, just type your username and password
I'm using this version, i had no problems with chat and calling. Also options and pop-ups work.

NOTE: THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF A TUTORIAL FOUNDHERE. I AM NOT RESONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PS3These instructions were only tested on a 40GB ps3 phat running firmware 3.15 NOT connected to the internet and I can personally confirm this works There are more accurate guides available for those who want to install 7.10 or 8.04. Following this guide will probably be fine, but for more details follow those links!Guide to installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 Many people installing Ubuntu 10.04 on there PS3 have been encountering mounting problems where after a successful installation of Ubuntu, the system boots up only to detect no drives with linux installed.
The PS3 has a unique feature that allows you to install a third-party operating system on the console. Because of its popularity and ease of use, Ubuntu Linux is a good choice. By installing Ubuntu, your PlayStation 3 becomes much more than just a game console. You can use it as a home computer (running desktop applications), a web- or file server, play media files, and run applications like Firefox, Open office and multimedia tools.
Installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 will take several hours (3-4 for me). The process involves three steps:
Formatting PS3 to run Linux
Installing Ubuntu
Setting up your PS Ubuntu installation
Set up your PS3 to run Linux You have to format your PS3 hard drive to install Ubuntu. You will probably want to back up your save games! You will also need to let go of some 10GB of disk space.
