I've spent the best part of an afternoon trying to get this to work and just can't :(

Would someone be so kind as to provide a precompiled amd64 version of Gimp 2.8.2 that can be run on Lucid...

Hi,

When I'm recording in gnome-sound-recorder, I can use pavucontrol to change what source it records from.

Is there anyway I can use bash commands to do that? I know pulseaudio can be...

That's fantastic. Cheers Dave :)

I had to convert it into this to get it to work in a Unity quicklist.

gnome-terminal -x bash -c "sudo renice -10 $(pidof process-name)"

Not sure why I can't...

Hi.

I'd like to change an application's niceness from the command line but by process name rather than PID.

I can already do this:

sudo renice -10 9461

To change niceness by PID, but this...

Hi.

I'm using the following bash script to load a null sink and loopbacks on command.

I want to have a separate script that will unload the modules loaded in this script. However, the pacmd...

Hi.

Did you ever find a nice lightweight MIDI Editor?
I tried Rosegarden but found it too bloated for my needs...

I've tried using aconnect to connect the MIDI Through Port to itself exclusively, hoping this would stop it appearing to SEQ24 but no such luck. Can anyone help me with this? Cheers.

I'm using SEQ24. It's great, but everytime I create a new MIDI clip in it, it defaults to my first MIDI port.

This is

14:0 Client Through MIDI Port

Is there anyway I can disable this...

I've somehow fixed it by disabling certain FileZilla window features, making it more minimal in appearance. It doesn't do it anymore - I've loaded and unloaded it about 20 times straight.

Also, if...

I started a thread on the Filezilla forum:

http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20591

The admin there says he thinks Ubuntu ships with a global menu exclusion list. I haven't...

Ah.

Is there a way to force it to launch maximized at all times, via the launcher?

Or a way to disable the old school menu bars completely. I have no application which uses them under Unity,...

I'm using Filezilla in Natty and it keeps bringing up its own menu bar in its own window.

Obviously I want all my applications to only use the top new Global Appmenu Bar. It currently makes...

I got the information from here:

Apparently the problem is with the 'Static Application Switcher' in Compiz. If you use CCSM to untick that plugin, the problem should go away.

Of course you lose Alt-Tab, but there are enough...

Used for over 12 hours without any symptoms.
Didn't do anything technical during this time, simply used already installed programs. Didn't even go into the Control Centre.

There's something that...

It's still happening for me, despite my message earlier.

I find if I reboot, and then only use my installed applications, its much less likely to come back. It seems to start happening more...

It's a bit of a crap bug :)

Anyway, I've been going strong for over a day now without any problems reoccuring, so the:

sudo apt-get autoremove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

terminal command I...

sudo apt-get autoremove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

in the Terminal seems to have fixed the problem for me.

Was most evident in dialogue boxes and in unresponsive hyperlinks in Google Chrome. A...

That's the one! Thank you :)

Hi.

How do I clear the ALT+F2 'run a command' history that appears in Ubuntu Natty? The Terminal command I used to use in 10.10 to clear the history no longer works in the new Unity command...
