Been to many careers services since school and at uni and I've never come across a CV that is third person. It seems weird to me to write a CV that way. It certainty wont help if a person wants to quickly skim over your CV. Keep it short and to the point, almost in list format. Am I right in...

It is definitely possible. I have a SSD in my media server machine that is only 30GB. I partitioned it with: / - 10GB home - 20GB Then put the swap on another HDD where I store all my large media. I've had this rig running for about two years and / has 3.2GB free and home has 10GB...

I get his exact problem with every torrent application on ubuntu. My internet upload speed is not good, uploading anything over 25kb/s and my internet comes unusable, especially during peak times so I set a limit. No matter what I do it never limits the upload speed. It reports it in the...

Viruses shouldn't be a problem. However I can see a number of potential security concerns in an average linux desktop install. One would be adding untrusted PPAs or .debs etc. You don't know what is being added to you system. Also maybe not even now but next time you update your machine the...

I don't know how to remove the icons however I've found out that you can customise the icons etc. Go to /usr/share/unity/places/ and there you will see files.place and applications.place you can open up these files in a text editor and edit them. I changed my icons in my launcher using this...

Ubuntu 11.04 with unity:

I think unity is excellent. I didn't like it at the start but after a few days of use I've become fond of it; it has a lot of potential. Although it still has a few bugs and tweaks that are needed. The UI is really nice, how can you not like this: Concerning drivers I've never had a problem...

Check your power saving settings in System->Preferences->Power Management You can alter the settings here. I think you need to adjust the 'Put computer to sleep when inactive for' setting. Do it under both the battery and mains power tab.

Interesting article I found related to your problem. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/24/sysadmin_file_tools/ You should use Linux to back up your files. No file name length and it handles any errors etc beautifully. Unlike windows utilities and especially copy and paste in windows. Rsync...

Yea it was out on the 12th of July according to the blog. Quite a while ago lol.

Been using it since it came out that day. I'm very impressed so far. First thing you notice is that it's identical to the windows version looks wise but you have the nice fonts. I'm surprised at the effort spotify have made updating it. They are telling the truth when they mean they are updating...

Hi Judgeneo. I have been using ubuntu for a year and a bit on a smaller vertex 30GB SSD. This is how I partition: / - 10GB home - 20GB The root has never passed 6GB for me so 10GB is definitely enough. The home folder depends on you usage Then I have another 1TB drive that I use for large...

Another recent video I seen of meego for tablets, looks promising: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqeeQd-YNL0

Just got mine back on Thursday. Got a 1st :D. The wait was agonising!

I'm sorry but I'm just giving my experience with 64bit ubuntu. Even up to recently on 10.04 the ethernet on my desktop motherboard doesn't work out of the box on 64bit and also on my "ubuntu compatible" dell laptop the wifi was also not working out of the box on 64bit, but both work on 32bit...

I wish you could :( as virtualbox is such a amazing piece of software for free, works flawlessy. Might give that a go, I just tried to get CS:S working yesterday in wine and it works perfectly with no changes in windowed mode but when I try to play it full screen it just fails at the loading...

If these are your end goals this is very easy to do and you do not need to use a command line interface. I don't know how you do it in fedora but to share files on a network for sharing between linux and windows machines in ubuntu you simply right click a folder and there is a sharing option...

Seems weird that the sync screen does not appear for you. As you have seen though the songs will not be on the iPod until you see the "Sync in progress screen" on your iPod. After its transfered the music on the bottom right try clicking in and out of the music library and iPod etc and it might...

It used to be a bit fiddly to get USB working but it's improved now. If you can't get it working sure post a reply. It works fine for me though, I even sync my iPhone in a windows vm on virtualbox :)

I would not go for the 64bit version to be honest, the support isn't very good for 64bit at the minute. For example you have to do a bit of work to get flash working on it, and there is also some aplications that have not got 64bit applications out. Try the 64bit on a live cd first to see if it...
