Got home from work the other day (where everything had been operating as normal) and my touchpad had completely stopped functioning. Running
xinput gets me this output:

This seems to have done the trick, but I'll wait a day or two before marking it solved. Thanks!

I got a new laptop about three months ago, and have had a problem this whole time: When I connect to wireless networks, my connection will remain steady for a while (sometimes a few hours) but then...

I use the Gmail offline webapp to manage my email - Thunderbird was too bulky, and Geary too far underdeveloped at the moment, but Gmail offline is pretty great. However, I haven't yet figured out...

I find that I often (but not always) have difficulty signing in to WIFI networks via the web browser in cafés, libraries and the like when the network is open but the login must be validated with a...

Yeah, unfortunately that's a problem when trying to diagnose the problem--that link that doesn't load for me in standard mode loads in incognito mode, so it's not even specific to my machine.

I'm experiencing strange behavior with my web browsers (plural)

In both Chrome and Chromium, certain pages will often load blank browser tabs. It seems to happen at random, and will load certain...

Had to do a power cycle on my Xfinity modem/router a few days ago, and have had a horrible connection on my laptop since then. The other devices in my house seem to work fine.

I changed the...

I'm running 12.04 with Gnome Shell on a Samsung NC10, and my computer is running hot as hell. Because I have the option to dual boot (though I almost never use it) I've booted up in Windows too, for...

Does Empathy play horribly with Gnome Shell? I've found it to be slow, often unresponsive, and nearly useless, save for the notifications (which worked on Pidgin until the latest Gnome Shell upgrade...

You can click with the mouse but enter always pulls up Wikipedia, right? I'm having the same problem...have had it since I upgraded to 3.2 a week or so ago (prior to upgrading to 11.10, so the...

Well, that's the weird thing. On the github site, it says it was updated this week for 3.2, and in fact, it halfway works (anything I type in the pop up window doesn't show up in the IM window, but...

I upgraded to 3.2 yesterday, and and tried to add the kagesensi pidgin extension (which was working perfectly on 3.0.2) via Gnome Tweak. It said the extension was added, prompted me to restart the...

From what I can see, he hasn't. This is a screengrab from his github (https://github.com/kagesenshi/gnome-shell-extensions-pidgin), and I can't find anything updated anywhere else.

In trying every iteration, I think I may have left it on a version below 3.1.3. Here's the new screenshot with the metadata.json checked, fixed, doublechecked, and then checked again.

Since upgrading to Natty, I've run into a weird problem with Pidgin. Every time I open up the program, it won't log in. I have to pull up the Manage Accounts dialog, and then individually uncheck and...

Okay, here's the screenshot. Obviously I'm in this mess because i left the ricotz/testing ppa enabled. Now I'm greeted with a Partial Upgrade notice every time Update Manager pops up. Should I wait...

by updating the metadata.json on my extensions, they are all working again, except the pidgin notification plugin by kagesensei. In tweak it's showing "error loading extension"

Any ideas?

On the off chance that it would work, I tried installing the driver from Samsung's Italy site (my friend has an NC10 that he purchase in Italy that is able to connect without problems to the same...

I've got a Samsung NC-10 running Maverick. I purchased it in the US, and am now in France. I'm running into troubles connecting to certain networks, because they are broadcasting on channels 12 or...

For some strange reason, Thunderbird--usually in RSS feeds--inserts gibberish characters into the text. Example:


I've got ttf-mscorefonts-installer installed, as well as ttf-liberation. I'm not...

A little bit of background:

I run a music website, and every week get hundreds of emails with linked mp3s available for download and posting. Thanks to some other users in the community, I'm able...

There's two ways to do this.

Way 1: Open a terminal and paste in the following (Paste in the terminal is 'Ctrl-Shift-V')


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Then just enter your...

Spibou, this is awesome. Here's some of the results when I ran it:

Part A: A few of the links in the text file were incomplete. Some were missing just the http://, while others were missing chunks...

I have kind of an odd request. I get a ton of emails every day with links to mp3s hosted (I'm in the music business). Because of this, I set up a filter in Thunderbird that searches the body of the...
