I think you'll find he actually used "force quit" :v:
Side note: Finally made the jump to Arch today. No more Ubuntu for me. Managed to cut out so much shit. And pacman is so much more flexible than apt. Everything I mess with I find something else that makes me glad I switched.

Rated winner because Arch is win.
[QUOTE=Niteshifter;26593760]To change the sound devices, you press F6 in alsamixer and choose the device. To add to the panel, you should be able to right click and empty spot on the panel and click "add to panel" to get a window that shows extra things to add.
It looks like it already sees your sound card, so it should work. Enter in:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
and see if you hear anything.[/QUOTE]
I got the sound to work, but my sound icon is still missing from the top panel. It isn't in the 'Add To Panel' dialog either.

Add the Volume Control to the startup applications (System > Preferences > Startup Applications) if it isn't already. It should be:
Name: Volume Control
Command: gnome-volume-control-applet
Then restart and it should work. If not, type in gnome-volume-control-applet in a terminal and post what it says.
Ubuntu doesn't use ALSA. It uses pulseaudio.
[QUOTE=Lego399;26602328]Ubuntu doesn't use ALSA. It uses pulseaudio.[/QUOTE]
You sure? Every single time I've installed Ubuntu, it used ALSA as the default audio. Unless I'm mistaken, I'm still pretty new to Linux though.
Since version 8.04, Ubuntu has used PulseAudio as its default sound system.
Hah. If I'm installing Ubuntu for anyone I remove PulseAudio and install Alsa :p.
Does anyone else accidentally type :wq in the terminal for no reason?
[QUOTE=Niteshifter;26616630]Does anyone else accidentally type :wq in the terminal for no reason?[/QUOTE]
Yep, I type vim commands into just about anything by accident.
Especially when I'm at work and using Netbeans or Notepad++.
I just installed arch and I don't know what desktop environment I should use, does anyone have any suggestions?
[QUOTE=Shadowsniper789;26625892]I just installed arch and I don't know what desktop environment I should use, does anyone have any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
Not a full DE but use Openbox with Thunar and Xfce4-Panel.

What kind of spec computer and how many bells and whistles do you want?
I would say Gnome for a mid-range and higher computer and Xfce for old or low end computer. But that is just my personal preference. I did used to be a KDE kind of guy but it lost me a couple of years ago.

Thanks, I'll try this.

every day. not even just the terminal, other programs like photoshop, minecraft, etc.
I have a small issue with Ubuntu.
How do I remove all of the Gnome panels? I have Avant, so I don't need those anymore.
I have it on autohide, but there's a 1px thick line across the side of my screen because of it and whenever I bring my mouse over there, it comes back. It's a nuisance.

Never mind, I found a solution.
Anyone know if you can/how to set up so your Internet traffic is piped through a Linux server with SSH from a Windows machine?
Windows -> Linux server -> Internet
You can ssh tunnel. I think this would have to be configured per program.
Creating a VPN might be what you want. I'm not sure of the details but it should work.
VPN is a pain in the ass with VPS, you have to submit a ticket to enable shit and then you have to configure it all and then it throws up a random error because it's a VPS..
I just want to watch Hulu through the damn thing.
If you setup ssh tunneling you can set firefox or whatever browser to use it as a proxy (I think it's a socket proxy and not HTTP)
I know that part too, I saw something about such a setup on Hak5 once, but do you know how to do it? I know you can do it with PuTTY.
Wouldn't it be enough to install squid or polipo and pipe it through that?
Tried polipo just now, goddamn ugh, couldn't get it to accept connections even when I told it to let everyone connect.

You can do tunnels with Putty, but I've never done it myself. Somewhere in the settings it has some tunnel options. I think in that left pane, it's under some other options you have to expand at the bottom.
It's easier to do it with OpenSSH on *nix. You just do
[code]
ssh -D 8080 myserver.com
[/code]
Where 8080 is whatever port you want to tunnel through.
Then you go into Firefox, and in the Options you go to Advanced->Network and configure Connection Settings. Select Manual settings. Then put 127.0.0.1 and 8080 into the SOCKS Host and Port boxes. Select SOCKS5 as well.
Ok, for some reason, whenever my computer is doing anything, such as copying files or installing software, Ubuntu skips and stutters so frustratingly bad. I can't listen to music and perform other tasks at the same time because the skipping is so terribly bad. Why is this happening? I have a q6600, so at the very least multitasking should be no problem to these minor extents.
It's so fucking terrible, I can hardly browse the web and transfer files at the same time without constant stuttering, freezing, and skipping. Has anyone else experienced this in Ubuntu 10.10? Is there some way to fix it?

It sounds like a disk I/O problem not cpu related, however [url=http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/script-to-automatically-apply-200-lines.html]using the alternative to the 200 line kernel patch may fix this for you.[/url]
[QUOTE=HTF;26586633]Why can't you use a livecd or a vm?[/QUOTE]
I need Dual Core, 64 Bit. Sun VirtualBox will only let you have 1 core 64 bit.
[editline]12th December 2010[/editline]
Until Google let you compile with 32 Bit OS's.
I'm new to Linux, and if this is the right place to ask, I need drivers so I can use my wireless adaptor on my desktop with Fedora. It's a Linksys WUSB54G, if that helps. Thanks!
