Update: I've found that the command below will make the Google account work again until the next reboot. I'm trying it out different ways, and once I have a good work around, I'll post it here.

Thanks chirag.goel25. I tried that, but it didn't work. After a reboot, the problem comes right back.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 with GNOME 3 (gnome-keyring-daemon is 3.10.1) and Empathy 3.8.6. In Empathy, I get an error saying "Google Talk account requires authorisation". If I hover my mouse over the...

Thank you for the instructions, ~XiX~. I actually found that I only had to format the drive myself by right clicking on it in Computer. I was then able to run the Universal USB Installer without...

An update to the ACPI problem. I submitted a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973933

I finally got it!

I tried turning off all sorts of BIOS options, and had to re-flash it a few times (luckily that's easy on this motherboard), but nothing helped. Boot CDs and flash drives of both...

An update: I tried unplugging the SATA drives, resetting all BIOS settings back to default, putting in a graphics card from my old computer, and swapping out memory. With the older graphics card, the...

I've built myself a new computer, with this configuration:

Motherboard: EVGA Z68 SLI (Intel Z68 north bridge)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC)
CPU:...

Frogs Hair, I had wanted to find the actual font files that Ubuntu uses throughout the system by default (or maybe just throughout Unity), such as the monospace font that Terminal uses by default.

Does anyone know what fonts Ubuntu 11.10 uses? I installed gnome-tweak-tool, and used it (called Advanced Settings) to see what the fonts are. Following is a table with the part of Ubuntu the font is...

I just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04, and Synaptic broke for me like it did for the OP. This fixed it, thank you.

I have Ubuntu 11.04, upgraded from 10.10, and I'm logging into the default Ubuntu, Unity. In Dash, if I search for "firefox", I get three results:
Firefox Web Browser
Mozilla Firefox

Yeah, hate to get a power supply without knowing if the hard drive is usable, but my friend or I might have to.

I also tried using the SATA to USB adapter with Windows, and Windows says the hard...

A friend found a laptop in her front lawn by the road, with no name or company info on it. She tried turning it on, but it asked for a password, so she brought it to Best Buy's Geek Squad. They said...

I am on Ubuntu 10.10. I used to be able to right click minimized windows - the rectangular button representation of the window in the bottom panel, which when clicked will make that window be the...

I just checked and saw that samba 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.2 (replacement for 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.1) was installed on January 8 for me. The changelog does indeed say the "bug" was fixed (YAY!), and I...

I figured out why Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant appeared (and it did a few times for me). There's a Microsoft Update, marked as Recommended in the Important section (meaning it wants to install...

Alright, I just found that I can't access my Windows 7 shares again, after rebooting Windows a few times. I look in Programs and Features, and lo and behold, Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant is...

I just got my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop to finally be able to access my Windows 7 Professional's shares, and I'd like to share how I got it working.

Whenever I would go to Places > Network on Ubuntu,...

It hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'll mention it here. For me at least, when /var/log/boot.log is enabled, it doesn't get everything, just the early messages. To see the later stuff, press...

I wanted to note that I've upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, but it seems that Samba still has this problem. Right now I have version 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8 installed from the maverick/main...

Thank you, both jpt266 and dmizer. You both referenced the same guide, which I somehow hadn't seen before:

Howto: Fix Windows share browsing issues - Ubuntu Forums

The solution that worked for...

I have tried that, and using and not using the password when connecting, but to no avail.

I have never, ever been able to access any sort of Windows 7 share (folder, printer, listings, or otherwise) from Ubuntu. I can't even get Ubuntu to list what things are shared. I've tried on and off...

Actually, kawshik84 posted his question on May 13th, and the embedded Chrome PDF Viewer became available June 17.

I'm not sure how far it's been released for Linux so far, but right now the stable...
