Ubuntu 8.10 has fixed my Evolution problem. It starts and shutsdown much faster too! Thanks for the great work, guys!

Well ... it's not a 100% solution. More like 50/50. So half the times I start Evolution after a reboot it will crash, the other half it will start fine (within a second). At least some progress is...

Somehow the problem seems to have been fixed by one of the latest updates (from 6 or 7 September 2008). I don't know which one (and I have a lot of development repositories active...) Most likely an...

I have this annoying problem with Evolution. Everytime after a reboot, if I want to start Evolution, I have to do it twice.

The first time I see Evolution starting, then after a second or five it...

I've solved my problem! Just had to take the time to really dive into this one.

I noticed in the Printer Configuration that it said "Remote Printer" next to Make and Model. I used the Change...

I have a weird printing problem for a number of Gnome applications.

My setup is as follows: I have a desktop PC with the latest 8.04.1 (x86). Another PC runs on Ubuntu Server 8.04 (updated to...

Just make sure you execute the commands in the above post in your home directory (where the .dmrc file is located). And don't forget to replace username with your actual user name (3 times)!

Could you give the EXACT error message (i.e. is there a file specifically mentioned)?

I did fnd this blogpost that talks about the wrong permissions on your HOME folder (and how to reset them).

Give me your IP and I'll fix that for you! ;)

A .tar.gz file is a compressed collection of files (comparable with the (more popular in Windows) .zip extension). The easiest way to extract the files is to use the Archive Manager (available in the...

I've no experience with minicom, but I'm using cutecom, which is a lot more userfriendly. It can be installed with Synaptic and may solve your problem.

I've some good and some bad news.

The good news is, is that you're problem can be solved by following the instructions in this thread (the 6th post; by postfix).

The bad news is, is that this...

I have to admit: the first time I saw this new theme I had the same objections as mentioned here. But I still wanted to try it on (for Hardy Heron: see here).

After a month of usage I'm really...

I'm still curious. Normally when the CLASSPATH is not set, Java will use the classes in the current directory and its built-in classes. If you set the CLASSPATH to anything, it won't automatically...

For the record: the error message you see is (in this case) caused by a missing .class file. If you specify a file that doesn't exist, you get that exact message. In fact, that last error message you...

First make sure you have sun-java6-jdk and sun-java6-jre installed.

Then this should work:


create a file HelloWorld.java with the following contents:
public class HelloWorld {
public...

I'm using Flash 10 (beta) ... for me the videos play OK. Follow the instructions in this post and you should be OK.

Well ... the UbuntuHCL has a couple of user reviews for wireless cards. Another way would be to google your possible choices before buying (something like ubuntu wireless <your card>).

I have...

To be honest: wireless adapters are definitely not for grandma to install. If you're lucky, they can actually be easier to install in Ubuntu than in XP. Otherwise, they can be a real pain.

For...

I don't know if it's really necessary (I didn't have it set to pulse and everything works OK). But if you want to edit that file, you'll need (temporary) super user rights.

Try the following...

Nothing. Those test files are a self-check. If ClamAV wouldn't have found them, something would be wrong (for example a virus that had compromised ClamAV).

I don't know what you mean by 'screen shaking', but I'm guessing it's a low Refresh Rate setting. Check your current setting by going to System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolutoin. The Refresh Rate...

Oh, don't forget to include the JARs you use (in Eclipse) with your application. You can read more about JARs here if you like.

Search for sun-java in Synaptic. It looks like you only need sun-java6-jre. This will install in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/, so change your command accordingly.

A JAR works exactly like the local source code. It's nothing more than a zip with all the compiled classes. This means you import the package as you always do (Eclipse can help you here).
