anyone?
I'm sure it's just a problem of somehow specifying the correct display - does anyone know how to get this working?
Hi RSB,
Thanks for your help.
Your suggestion led me to Xnest, and I've made a step forward, but still have not managed to get it working.
I installed Xnest via apt-get, and then run the...
Is there really no way to do this?
Hello,
Can anyone help me tidy up my remote gnome-session?
I have both a mac and ubuntu box sitting on my desk. I work on the mac and access the ubuntu box over ssh.
Often I need the...
Thanks Jobix - your suggestion was really helpful.
The reason for asking is simply to identify the reason for losing USB access, and knowing the time can help.
In this case the messages file...
Hi,
Is there any way to tell the time and date when a USB hard-drive was disconnected? It may have been disconnected through power failure (although the computer continued running) or it may have...
varunendra, thanks for your suggestion.
The IP address is DHCP assigned (something like 211.168.250.45) and so setting it manually probably won't work. The ethernet does work on my macbook, but...
I'm having the same problem, albeit with "ubuntu netbook" - it's basically the same system though. I tried the battery trick but it didn't work.
This is the output from my networking files:

Well, I understand how to access this through a GUI but the connection's too slow to run a gnome-session over ssh - is there a command-line way to set things in the NetworkManager? I tried just...
Thank you! I edited /etc/resolv.conf to ensure that it matches the computer that does work (by adding an extra line) and it works. But, once I restart, it falls back to the non-working version. There...
Hello,
I have a strange problem with apt-get.
I run "sudo apt-get update" and get the errors:
Err http://kr.archive.ubuntu.com karmic Release.gpg

Usually the powers that be send me forms that I have to fill out by hand and return to them. Occasionally I explain that my group doesn't use windows or MS Office, and they then convert it to pdf,...
Linux in general:
I used Linux to start with because they had it where I was working at the time. Initially I didn't really like it, but after 8 months of using it at work, I finally had got used to...
The blank screen. If I'm concentrating on something difficult, the last thing I need is the distraction of a flashy screensaver.
I would also highly recommend Jabref (http://jabref.sourceforge.net/). It imports bibtex files downloaded from Inspec or web of knowledge, etc, and lets you create groups based on keywords found in...
I have a 1GB IAUDIO5. I specifically bought it because it said it was supported by linux. And that was true - it was just plug-and-play. And it supports ogg, which an increasing amount of my (rather...
Yes and No. Obviously by definition, if a company "crosses the line" than the "consumers" move elsewhere. The difference between Sony and Microsoft is the distance to that line. Most people can live...
Linux at home, linux at work, since about 1 year. I get somewhat lost when I have to help someone using windows...
Tetris!
I don't have time for anything else. Besides it can occasionally get "exciting" - there are those certain moments when the blocks are building up and you've got to make a life-or-death...
Many thanks to DaveRowell for asking this question and toojays for the answer! I have been going at this problem for weeks! Tried installing 3 different compilers (gfortran, ifort, g95) without...

The other point is that duel-booting is a transition point between "total XP" and "total ubuntu". By duel-booting you gain experience with linux, so when it comes to the choice of buying a new...
Many thanks for this howto - it's helped me get talking to people I wouldn't otherwise have been able to call. And it got XMMS working properly too.
