Apparently, this was a bug in Cairo, the underlying graphics layer that Evince uses.

According to the bug report, it looks like the...

The funny thing is, I borked stuff whilst getting my files organized so I COULD back them up (after I recovered, I ended up deleting about 30GB of unneeded data, mostly old VirtualBox images--didn't...

For the record, I ended up putting in the Lucid live CD I had laying around and running the following in a terminal to fix things:


fsck.ext4 -y /dev/sda5

That did it. Interestingly, doing the...

Last night, I was moving some very large data files (VirtualBox hard drive images) around my home partition (ext4) in preparation to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10.

I left my computer for a minute...

I haven't tried them yet, but you might try this driver page from Wincor

I seem to be periodically able to grab the keys, now. Looks like you're right: probably a traffic issue.

that was my guess too. which is, I suppose, better than Ubuntu being broke

I just installed Karmic--it's looking really good. I'm particularly excited about the new way to add ppas, namely add-apt-repository.

But when I try, I get the following error:



gpg:...

I've since done some research--the flicker is an ATI+compiz problem. You can resolve it by changing the video output to something like X11 (from xvev, iirc).

Not too hard to do in mplayer and...

To be honest, with Intrepid rolling out and with the craziness at work, I haven't given this problem a lot of thought in the last little while.

I still like the DAAP idea. but do love my...

Anybody figure anything out with this?

I did a bit of poking around with it today...looks like Network Manager is running just fine, and like usual, crashes when you close pypanel.

Also, what...

Have you tried multimedia aps in a different desktop environment (like openbox or something)? I haven't given it a go yet--I need to. But I have a sneaky suspicioun that we're getting some sort of...

I use openbox a lot, and when I do, I usually run pypanel. After my Intrepid upgrade, though, I have a strange problem: nm-applet won't show up in my notification area.

In Gnome, it's just fine,...

My problem went away. I just needed to get the (restricted) ATI driver installed.

For whatever reason, that seemed to fix it. Although now, I get some really annoying flickering when I play...

I'm having the exact same problem on my Acer Extensa (new Intrepid install) as well.

Any solutions?

I'll give Exhaile a go, see if it does any better.

I like the daap idea, though--that might be the most likely solution. Sound like it's designed for what I want to do.

I've been poking around, looking for a music player I can really latch on to (I was crazy for Foobar2000 in my windows days). But right now, my music library is primarily on my home server, but most...

Just to resurrect a semi-dead thread, I'm in Decatur. I couldn't make more than monthly LUG meetings, but I'd be moderately interested in that for sure.

Yeah, I'm confused too. Where does the theme end and the engine start? What are the advantages of one engine over another? How does changing engines affect a theme?

One more update: I reinstalled Hardy (again), this time from the .iso I downloaded last night, rather than from the cd I recieved via ShipIt.

My wireless seems to be working fine using the...

just to update...I was having ssh/vnc problems. For a variety of reasons I don't want to go into (for the sake of my pride ;)), I ended up reinstalling Hardy. I installed all the updates on the...

anybody got any resources/links/alternate solutions or anything yet on the ssh problem?

Unfortunately, I can't use ssh or vnc, either, on my Acer Extensa 4420. But my wireless worked before I tried this, with the same problems.

Oh man. This is my biggest frustration with Ubuntu: updating packages and (worse) running update db slow my system to a crawl.

Ugh.

Can somebody point to either some documentation about pcmanfm that lists the available keybindings or to how to set them up?

I'd really like to be able to move from tab to tab w/o using the mouse....
