I have gone back to Gnome Classic and although Compiz and Emerald appear to be working I can't get a particular theme to activate. I have tried the command 'emerald --replcae' and get this waring;

Just like I was saying, serious overheating problem. The amount of machines I have seen with blocked air ways. It is just like getting a cold, if you can't breath, you heat up. I have even seen one...

superbatlife - I have found that changing the audio output option switches my HDMI sound on. It switches off the laptop sound but, hey sound through the HDMI is better than not.

Definitely try the fresh heatsink compound. My Dell is prone to doing exactly what yours does but, even after cleaning and fresh compound it still shuts off after heavy use, especially Firefox use...

Have a look over on Ultimate Edition Forums

I am not saying the answer is there but, the guys really know their stuff and may have an option for you...

Having said that, I left my eSATA plugged in and had the laptop turned off for a few hours. When I turned the system back on my eSATA is not seen till I physically disconnect and reconnect...
It is...

I would tend to agree with aigreeny, it sounds like when you went for the install, what was formerly seen as two disks may in fact have been one disk with two partitions.
Can you confirm you have...

This might not help in your own case but, I have a Dell laptop which has terrible overheating problems which Dell have not admitted to. I now have three power supplies because this is the only thing...

It would appear to be an AWN panel problem because it opens just fine from the Places dropdown menu. Mind you this does not explain why it does not appear on the Desktop till I go into the dropdown...

I have an eSATA drive for backups and so on. I use the AWN panel for everything and for the most part everything works fine.
The eSATA drive seems to be the only component that has any niggles in as...

Anyone tried this or similar?

So, what's the outcome/your conclusions?

I use a GX620 at work dual booted with Win7 (coz I have to) and Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.9 at the moment, waiting for UE 3.0 to come out and stop hearts....

I have been trying to get the Ginn touchpad interface working after following the Ubuntu Wiki about the Apple Magic Touchpad.
I have followed the instructions to the letter as far as I can tell but,...

This is an interesting thread... I can't see how you can tell what is happening without a monitor. Like another said, the BIOS may be waiting for an input from you.
Are you able to do this with...

Wow!! spooky... sorry can't help other than to reinstall VBox.

I decided to finally give Evolution a go since it comes on the Applications list. I have left off doing this for a long time and have always used the slightly more awkward route to external email...

Thanks to Meister on the Ultimate Edition website - the program called Guppy works as long as you enter the command 'sudo guppy' in Terminal after installing it.

Thought I would pick the brains of long time Linux gurus... I have a Topfield PVR which has stood the test of time and I really want to be able to access it using Linux. I have tried the Topfield...

You say you have tried all the ideas, here is one you may or may not have seen. I had a problem as well with an Acer One recently bought. It would pick up the mic, apparently but, we could hear no...

Even though the card does not appear to be getting picked up it is still worth downloading the Windows driver file and extracting the files to a folder so as to release the .inf driver file for the...

This will probably not help at all because the solution would require being in the Windows environment and only effective for Windows but, there are zones that can be calibrated in a manufacturer...

Boy do I feel like a jerk... I was looking at the Acer support for someone with the same problem on an Acer running Windows 7. Guess what - the touchpad was not switched on!!!

Apparently (and I...

I don't know what it is about this latest Ubuntu release but, there seems to be a lot of people with the same problem I have - no working touchpad.
I am trying to help someone out and away from...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will take them under advizement. I only hope Ultimate edition servers will be up and running again soon as it is the best Ubuntu variation I have used so far....

Thanks Hilm Tye. Can you tell me how to reinstate the Gnome desktop. I really appreciate your reply to my post but, it looks like I could spend all day posting how do I do this and that. If I get...
