Why doesn't Chromium have “Chrome PDF Viewer” plugin?
This is a nice way to get the PDF viewer to work in Chromium. Essentially, you take the "command" from Chrome and link it, or copy it, to Chromium.

Another site for Ubuntu
Whelp, it's been awhile since I've messed with Ubuntu (and this blog!). I just upgraded from 11.01/12.04 to 13.04 so I think I missed most of 12.04, all of 12.10, and 13.04 (with another release right around the corner, 13.10 in October). Was using a Windoze laptop and desktop for school. My desktop has been down for the count with a power issue for a long time, and I haven't had the time to mess with it. I turned in my school laptop so I had to revert back to this laptop. This Ubuntu is partially broken, but works for the most part. I've got a Surface Pro from school to use as well. Not real impressed with is so far, but it's decent for lightweight Windows usage compared to a traditional laptop.
Anyways, I thought I'd post another Ubuntu website which I thought might be helpful.
It's called n00bs on Ubuntu

Ok, so this is why Ubuntu has gone in its direction! Finally, one device for TV, tablet, phone, and desktop!! I can't wait to see this in action. C'mon Ubuntu! If they pull this off it will be bank!!!
This is what the Unity interface was exclusively designed for. Ubuntu/Cano may have put the cart in fron tof the horse in this instance, but Unity is more optimized for touch screen. I guess Ubuntu wanted to test it and run it as a desktop system (their strong link) before trying mobile devices such as phones, tablets, and touch screen computers.

Amen brother!! Ubuntu has done the exact same for me as you state in your opening. I began with 8.04 but did not really get into it until I became fed up with Windows and non-free software. I wanted an alternative and since 10.04 I haven't looked back!!!!

Updating Mendeley Desktop from version 1.1 to 1.3 in Ubuntu 11.10
Alright, so I was having issues updating MD. I finally figured it out. Stupid mistake by me. I posted this in the Mendeley support forum:
I answered it myself once I figured it out which wasn't long after I posted it!!
Just type sudo dpkg -i mendeleydesktop_1.3_amd64.deb in the terminal but make sure you point it to or are in the right directory. I had to do this since the commands sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install mendeleydesktop did not work for me. I think it has something to do with MD not having posted a repository for Ubuntu 11.10 yet (?).
Edit: 1-18-12 A new release just came out for MD, 1.3.1. The update manager automatically installed it this time.
I am having trouble upgrading from MD ver 1.1 to 1.3 in Ubuntu 11.10. I've looked everywhere for help but haven't found any. I noticed there (or I couldn't find it at least) is not an MD repository for Ubuntu 11.10. Is it because there (from what I have noticed) are some problems with dpgk and/or dependcies, etc., especially with new installations? I've tried deleting and re-downloading. I've tried running the update in the terminal, in the update manger, and in the software center. So far, nothing works. I don't want to delete and do a fresh install since Mendeley Desktop does not save preferences/settings for "Document Details" (unless there is a way and I do not know/ haven't found it). Any ideas, thoughts?
I answered it myself once I figured it out which wasn't long after I posted it!!
Ahh, what a sec. I may have found my mistake. I tried "sudo dpkg -i mendeleydesktop_1.3_amd64.deb" but didn't realize, until now, that I didn't specify the directory which is in Downloads in my home folder. I also didn't read the error closely which told me the file wasn't found in the directory I was using!! So I changed the directory and reran the command. Oh yeah, that worked! Doh! Sorry. Well if anyone overlooks stuff like me, then maybe this will help!

Installing Windows 7 in Ubuntu 11.10 using VirtualBox
Alright, so no matter what you do, you will more than likely have to deal with Windows even if you have switched everything over to Ubuntu because, well, many people use Windows. I needed an install since I have a few older filed I need to work with in Windows. I mean Windows isn't terrible, I just prefer Ubuntu and all the options it gives me.
Anyways, I chose to go with a VirtualBox installation as I do not prefer multi-boot since I am on;y occasionally going to be using it. I have messed around a bit with VirtualBox and have installed a Fedora 15 OS and Linux Mint 11 OS.
I began the installation like the others and kept everything default. However, after I saw the Windows boot screen it never went to the installation screen but instead gave me a black screen with the "Windows failed to start" error message.
I googled "installing windows 7 on virtualbox get an error windows failed to start" and found this helpful site which solved the problem. http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~zhug/error-0xc0000225-when-installing-windows-on-virtualbox/

The cause of this problem is the APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller), on which Windows depends. You must enable this feature in the virtual machine settings.
Right click on the virtual machine in VirtualBox console window.
Select "Settings..." Click "System" tab on the left and check "Enable IO APIC" item.
