Halp! I am trying to update my JRE, but the instructions on the website aren't working. Can someone please walk me through this step-by-step? Also, my computer doesn't seem to think my su password is correct; is there some way to reset it?

Thanks in advance.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, Firefox 11.0 Ubuntu canonical 1.0.

Firefox 10.0.2 Sluggish?

lightning_rose wrote in ubuntu_users Mar 06, 2012 11:49

Ever since Ubuntu upgraded Firefox from 3.5.x (I think) to 10.0.2, I experienced extremely sluggish behavior. With several tabs open FF would hang for 10 or more seconds when switching between tabs and scrolling down a page ( Read more... )

Dear Ubuntu Users,

Lately i did some research on what you should or could do in linux if your computer has one of those 'fancy' solid state disks. I found a lot of howto's and technical stuff.
Next step will be to filter the "stuff" and write down how and what i did, to (hopefully) tell Ubuntu on how
to communicate in a more 'friendly' way with sammy' ( Read more... )

Stupid question of the day

What is all this? Can I delete them? I'm trying to figure out why my browser keeps freezing. I don't think these would do it, but I'm trying everything. It's driving me up the wall.

Firefox acting like IE?

rhia_starsong wrote in ubuntu_users Feb 08, 2012 14:25

Is anyone else having problems with the newest Mozilla build of Firefox crashing a lot? It generally happens when I try to open a link from Delicious while running something using flash in another tab or sometimes when I'm loading an LJ page while the flash is running. If it makes a difference, I use Ubuntu 10.04.

Network speed in WINE app

madscience wrote in ubuntu_users Jan 14, 2012 10:54

I'm running the TradeWars Game Server in WINE. Connecting to it on the local loopback, it's blazingly fast. But over my 100mbps network, it's unacceptably slow. It feels like I'm playing on an old 9600 baud modem!

Could it have something to do with native vs. builtin DLLs? Or the kernel's network frame size?

upgrading firefox

rhia_starsong wrote in ubuntu_users Jan 04, 2012 21:26

I am trying to update my version of Firefox to 9.0 from 8.0.1. The tool that pops up in Firefox at first never actually connects, so I have to do it manually. Trouble is, I am running 8 but also have the Ubuntu release for Ubuntu 10.04 (I think it's Firefox 3.5 or something) that I do not use. What I need to know is: when I download Firefox 9.0 ( Read more... )
