I have a Plantronics Gamecom 788 7.1 emulated surround sound headset, and I'm trying to find out if anyone knows if there is a way to make this work in Ubuntu. Plantronics has the software for Windows that works great, I just don't know if there is anything for Linux that would make this work. Stereo works great, but not 7.1 surround.
If it doesn't work I can live with it, but if anyone knows of any software out there that'd be great!
Thanks!
I am having an issue I can't quite get around. I just got a new HP Envy4-1030us with Windows 7 on it, and the first thing I did was upgrade to Windows 8. So now I'm trying to partition the 500GB drive and install Ubuntu, but when I get into the installer there are no drives to install it to. Also, palimpsest thinks the drive is formatted in FAT, when Windows is telling me that it's NTFS. Any ideas? There are only two partitions, the Windows 8 one, and the "system reserved".
I have a custom built computer in my home which was running Windows 7 primarily. After I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and upgraded to 12.10, Windows 7 has to perform startup repair after every Ubuntu boot up. For example, I am using Ubuntu for my everyday work, but when I switch to Windows to play one of my steam games, windows fails to boot, and it switches to the recovery partition to "repair windows" then boots windows. The whole process takes about 20 minutes, which is quite annoying. Anyone know why this is happening or what I can do? Thanks in advance!
So today I noticed something weird on my phone. I used a terminal emulator to see what I could do with it, and noticed that there is a file called ubuntu.sh. I tried to run it and got all sorts of permission denied errors, and then I decided to root my phone. But now I'm nervous to run it, does anyone know what it does or why it is there?
edit I forgot to mention that I have an AT&T Morotola Atrix 4G running Android 2.3.6. Also when I use the app SSHDroid to go into my phone from my Ubuntu machine, I'm greeted with this:

Also, here are the contents of ubuntu.sh

This is really strange, any ideas?
So I work at a university using active directory, and in my office there are a few computers that I've set up, in Ubuntu 11.10, to log as an AD user.
In order to log in a person just needs to use the "other" user at login and use their university ID and Password. I've installed 12.04LTS on my personal computer, and I see that the "other" option no longer exists.
If I upgrade those computers who need AD login capabilities, will they have them?
I am wondering how one would go about changing the default programs that are associated with every new user that is created. For example, Firefox is the default browser for Ubuntu 11.10. In my user account I changed it so that Google Chrome is the default, and it appears in the launcher when I log in. But if I were to make another account for someone else the new user would have Firefox as the default, and it would be in the launcher. How do I get Google Chrome to be in the launcher and the default browser for every new user that is made? Thanks in advance!
