Clean out your /etc/apt/sources.list

Ran into an interesting problem today on my Gusty Gibbon installation that I thought was important to share. I saw an article on Virtualbox software and I thought I’d give it a try. So the first thing I always do when installing something on Ubuntu is to see if there is an official package for the software in the repos by using Synaptic Manager. Synaptic Manager allowed me to log into the interface, but then core dumped. Ugh!

Picture Frames – Xmas Toys

It seems that everyone this year got either a GPS device or a Digital Picture Frame for Xmas.  I personally bought two digital picture frames – one for my sister and brother-in-law and my parents another.  The same sister bought a picture frame for my parents and my parent bought me a picture frame!  Guess we need to co-ordinate a bit better in the future.  One thing I did notice is that we all got each other different frames that have different capabilities.  I do have to say, my present took the Propeller Head Prize.
