[QUOTE="john117, post: 677427, member: 15800"] Hey firstly if there is a there is thread which caters to my queries then plz move it there .. i only found a guide for ubuntu customization by darky and i dint feel it appropriate to ask there .. now here is the story .. recently the big heads in my organization decided to switch to ubuntu from xp as they realized its a better developement platform and cost effective too. So here i am a week into ubuntu and still struggling to get used to .But i m finding it much better then xp in lot of areas and i am getting a feeling once i get used to it i may never go back to windows.. but i am having some issues.. 1)I am not able to configure pidgin for gtalk but it works fine with msn messenger .. it refuses to connect for gtalk .. tell me a solution which doesnt require sudo rights coz i dont have sudo permissions.or tell me some other alternative for connecting to gtalk . 2)ubuntu is freezing on me when i lock the desktop and log back in .. happened with me 4 times last one week and only solution is to restart the pc .. :@ and its really annoying as loose a lot of work when this happens ..:@ 3) give me links for ubuntu customization guides for v8.04 ,the guide by darky is for 7.10 would that guide apply to my version too. also suggest me some general apps that are needed in day to day use.... like editors .. image editors ,messengers ,media players .. again i dont have sudo permission so suggest me considering this .
