What's Missing In Lubuntu

I am using the ubuntu studio Distro and one of the pro music programs is called ardour. When the program is loaded there is no way to get access to the other programs. The dock doesn't function and the ubuntu sign has disappeared. I can't even log off or see my name in the top right hand of the screen. My only option is to quit the program. There aren't any workspaces visible and no matter where I put the mouse clicker nothing appears. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's not just ardour that does this.

hello all at linuxquestions

first off would just like to say how useful this resource is, Ive been setting up a VM server in lubuntu recently and this site has given me alot of help and helped me get it off the ground. Im certainly a linux noob and only been messing around in linux for a week, so please forgive me for any derpy terminology

anyway, I installed lubuntu onto a VM as an intention to use it as a server
to be honest it was an ISO I had lying around and due to it being "light" I just went for it

however I have since discovered ubuntu do a flavour known as "ubuntu server"

first off..
what is the difference between ubuntu server and regular ubuntu/lubuntu etc?
is it just that it does not load a full fat gui?
if there is a big diffrence would it be easy to "turn" lubuntu into ubuntu server? since they are sort of based off each other?

secondly, lubuntu loads up lxde upon boot, I was wondering if there was a way for it to just boot up without the gui with the option to turn it on via shell (startx etc)
this is because I have little ram to play with but I also like to use the GUI sometimes when needing to do certain admin stuff, for example I use steam via Wine to download steam games sometimes

I was pondering the idea of installing ubuntu server and then downloading the lxde desktop and going that route, but Im not sure if it would bring any benefit opposed to just modifiying my current lubuntu installation

any advise or tips would be welcome

thanks!

Hi there folks, first post and been using Linux for roughly a week, not an expert but getting the feel for it.

So....my question is: I am in the process of building a studio-rig for music, and previoulsy I used Windows, and managed to get the x64 drivers for my audio card the Delta 1010LT and got it working etc. It came with the control panel as well.

I tried googling for the drivers for Ubuntu Studio (64), but to be honest, like I said being a newbie, I'm not entirely sure I have to download them? Most things I can just request download and install from the terminal in Ubuntu. Does this apply for these drivers or if not does anyone know the location of these drivers?

Much help is appreciated

Hey all,

I've got an HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook that's been like a good friend to me in the past, but hasn't been running as well as it used to. I decided to move on to something new that I knew would work - some form of Linux. I chose Lubuntu, as I had heard so many good things about it and wouldn't need to run loads of processes.

I ran through the installer from a flash drive and installed Lubuntu 14.04 onto my machine, and was then prompted to reboot. Now I'm stuck on the Gnu Grub page, where *Ubuntu is listed instead of *Lubuntu. Whenever I hit Ubuntu to start, screen cuts to black, I see the HP logo and BIOS login note, and am dropped back in front of the Grub page. This is my first true experience with the Linux kernel (I've played with Raspbian).

Does anyone have any insight as to what's going wrong? I haven't yet been able to login and am unsure regarding where to go.

Thanks

i am a musician so i wanted to install ubuntu studio to see what it was like. It said i needed to download the iso file and burn it to dvd. i did that. now it says that I should reboot the computer and it will start from the disk for a fresh install of my whole system. is this right? i only wanted a program not my sytem rebooted and re installed. does ubuntu do this each time you install a program? jesus!

installed digiKam 4:3.5.0-Oubuntu 10 and dependent packages from Synaptic Package Manager.

Graphics/digiKam selected - no action

Operating system Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. (LUBUNTU)

I have used digiKam successfully in previous versions of Ubuntu.

(In your LQ tutorial you refer to using 'how-tos' -where are these?-and search for occurence of 'digikam' - have attempted this without success)

(Your tutorial suggests I introduce myself - I have used Ubuntu for many years but only in GUI. My Unix knowledge is near zero - whenever I attempt to understand descriptions in the forums I get stumped by acronyms and terms that are common to other Linux users)

I hope you can help.

Hey guys, I am trying to find the best lightweight OS for my asus eee pc seashell series which I mainly use for programming; nothing heavy of any sort, just simple programs written in c++ and java for projects and stuff, I have my main pc for android studio and whatnot.

I'm currently using windows 7 ultimate 32-bit and it gets quite slow when I'm running netbeans + oracle sql and a couple of documents and web browsers etc.

Specs:
•Intel Atom N570 Dual core
•Intel GMA 3150
•2GB RAM

I have used Ubuntu 2 years ago for about a year, other than that I don't know anything about Linux distros. I have researched a few distros yet still skeptical about satisfying my needs especially the programming part.
Thanks in advance.

Good Day my Linux Friends! I was wondering if anybody can help me with an interesting project i am working on?

I have an interesting issue in which I have a Lubuntu 14.04, that I am working to set up as a hotspot hub. That means when the banana pi/ rasberry pi is spitting out wifi signal, I can connect to it, a chrome window or ie window will pop up and i can sign in and start manipulating the device?

So essentially a piratebox with a linux system that you can login into.

I am curious if that is possible?? I have scoured the net and haven't found the right thing, anybody know any good projects they can point me too?
