I was looking for the how to for some time and I found it here. The problem is that the how-to is quite outdated (it is for 7.04) and it no longer work. So I make one and post here. The server is slow so please be patient.

For those who have no patient, here is a brief:
You need to install MPlayer and use its preference dialog to select appropriate codec setting.<

Question:

I just installed kubuntu Intrepid, and of course had to update Nvidia drivers because of the new kernel. I found, to my dismay, that the 177.80 and the 177.82 driver work HORRIBLY on this version. In fedora, I can easily play newer games at 1024x768 resolution with my Nvidia Geforce 6200 LE, while the same games with the same settings and the same video driver have trouble getting over 15 fps on Kubuntu Intrepid. Is there a way to get past this issue, or must I wait till Nvidia issues new drivers or the Ubuntu developers solve the problem??

Question:

There seems to be at least four different unsolved threads on Realtek ALC861 integrated sound card / microfone trouble. The thing is, I can hear my voice from the mic through the headphones, but neither Sound recorder nor Ekiga catches the sound. Editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base as suggested (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845) doesn't help. Hardy.

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that the 1024 x 600 screen on my EEE 1000H is a tad small. However, there are some ways you can get better value for your screen real estate in the Firefox browser, which I assume many of you use.

Before I tell you the addons I've used, let me show you a before and after

if this is too basic for a tutorial, or has been posted already...feel free to delete this thread.

i see the question posted a lot in the forums and have not noticed a tutorial for it yet...so here is my first attempt at one:

first open a terminal and type or copy/paste the following:

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

I searched all over to find an offline dictionary solution to meet my needs, since I'm often in need of a dictionary and thesaurus I can use offline. Having not found an adequate solution in OpenDict (its dictionaries are only for foreign languages like Latvian and its website is inundated with spam), Stardict (it's bloated, written in bad English, and generally annoying to use) or other programs, and not always having access to the internet whenever I need a dictionary, I figured out how to set up a local DICT server and thereby use the Dictionary program that's already included with Ubuntu to access locally stored dictionaries. It's not all that difficult, it turns out.

Hi Everyone,

I hope this helps other users who may have similar problems.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on a HP Slimline S3015uk and a HP Photosmart P1000 printer connected on USB, the printer installed first time and appeared ok as it printed a test page correctly but when printing from Firefox or Openoffice all I got was garbage characters.
