I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit on an AMD. It regularly hangs for a few minutes at a time when some of the processes's CPU usage % goes into 'disk sleep'. During that time I can't start new programs and most of the programs on the desktop become unresponsive.
I would rather it didn't hang and my applications remained reliably responsive. Why does this happen and how can I stop it?
I'm trying to use Skype with Ubuntu Karmic and I just don't understand how to configure Pulseaudio properly. The previous version of Skype allowed me to talk through and hear the voice on my USB phone and the ringing sounds through my laptop speaker. I'm not able to do this with the new version (2.1.0.47).
Can I dual boot ubuntu with on a inspiron 1720 (it is running windows 7).
One issue is I don't have space on the c:\ drive, but other partitions have space.
Will that cause any issues?
This is just to play and learn with, and I don't want to ruin my main windows install doing this.
I don't think my laptop is powerful enough for a virtualbox install (only 2gb ram).
It came with my Sony VAIO® VPCF133FX/H 16.4" Notebook.
Ubuntu does suggest an NVIDIA driver for me, but when I install it, I cannot boot back in normally. I have to boot into a failsafe mode, then reset graphics setting to default, and reboot again. Right now I am stuck in 800 x 600 mode, but I would like to do better, and take advantage of my 1GB graphics memory :(. Please let me know if you have questions.
Most tutorials online show how to install PEAR by doing this:
sudo apt-get install php-pear
This installs version 1.6.1. It works great because it's super easy! My problem is that I want to install PHPUnit and it requires PEAR version 1.8.1 so my install of PHPUnit failed. So how do I install a newer version of PEAR on Ubuntu?
I work in an environment wherein files are exchanged over email which are then processed into databases.
In Windows, mapping a network drive and storing files directly to a folder in the network drive from Firefox/Chrome downloads is a breeze.
How to achieve the same in Ubuntu? I don't see the SFTP'ed drive/directory as options in Firefox- Downloads setup.
Thanks in advance!

How do I enable/disable a stick pointing device in Ubuntu (9.10)? How can I configure clicking and scrolling with the stick pointer? (I can't click with the stick and scroll the page.)
I've been trying to find a way to run a torrent client strictly through a VPN. I am running Ubuntu 9.10, and use Ktorrent. I can connect to vpn.itshidden.com but I am worried about the connection dropping if I'm away from my computer. Any help would be appreciated.
In 10.10 upstart is being used instead of sysvinit.
It's possible to remove annoying upstart services which you do not want by removing the appropriate file in /etc/init/blah.conf
However, this seems a heavy handed approach. How do you correctly configure upstart to be able to selectively turn these services on and off via the command line?
As a practical example, the answers listed here to turn gdm off using rcconf no longer work:
How do I prevent GDM from running at boot on Ubuntu?
In my Ubuntu 8.04 'Other' menu, it has 'OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime', 'Sun Java 5.0 Runtime' , 'Sun Java 6 Runtime'.

Problem
Retrospect is a backup system that my organization uses, but I can not find support for my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit desktop.
What I have tried (but did not work)
download the Redhat version and attempt to convert to deb
wget http://download.dantz.com/archives/Linux_Client-7_6_100.rpm
sudo alien Linux_Client-7_6_100.rpm
The Restrospect user forum has this thread, which provides an i386 .deb file for installing Retrospect
Question
Is there a way to install this on my system?
I am looking for a guide on how to set up a local home server that will also be used as a web server. I have an old desktop with Ubuntu 12.10 and wish for this to be used as my central web and local server. I also have multiple Windows 7 systems at home that I wish to be part of this network and a wireless router. Can someone provide me with assistance on where to start (perhaps just the home network) or refer me to a guide on how to do this?
I can click the "movie player" from the GUI of Ubuntu, but how could I know the corresponding command line cmd. I want to run the movie player from commmand line.

I have recently started using UBUNTU. I am wondering about the point of installing antivirus programs. on SU, I found the opinion that it only detects "windows viruses" and removes them. Is there a point in installing antivirus if I don't have any other OS?
As far as I know, there are no viruses for linux, what about malvare and any other harmful programs? Is it safe not t install any protecting software?
I have installed Virtualbox in Ubuntu 12.04, and I created a virtual guest with Windows 7 64bit. Guest additions were also installed. It works fine, but I can't set the resolution to anything higher than 1600 x 1200, whereas my screen is 1920x1080.
Here's my system specifications: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz AMD Radeon 7650 VGA 8 Gb RAM DDR3
Moreover, if I try to enhable 3D acceleration in the settings of my guest, when I expand to full screen it aborts...
Thanks in advance

Hi,
In windows you can press the Windows key plus "E" to get the Windows Explorer window to open up any time.
Is there an equivalent global hot-key to get the file explorer to show up?

I have mounted a Windows share using the GUI in Ubuntu. Now I would like to access it using the Terminal application. However, I don't know its path. I thought it should be in /mnt, but it isn't there.
I looked at all the other posts on this but can't find the directories mentioned (~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks, it's a JSON file.). Being a 2 day Newbie to Ubuntu/Linux I would like to know if the location has changed in the latest version or if not how I locate the directory indicated. I have logged in as root and searched for the folder and can't find it although I imported my bookmarks from a html file so I know that they must be saved somewhere.
